Company details

  1. Dog Trainer

Written by the company

Gemma Fisher is a renowned international dog trainer with over 20 years of experience with many different breeds. She started as most people do, in a village hall learning traditional obedience skills. But she found her energy and enthusiasm was better suited to the sport of agility, and there a love affair was born. A life-long learner, Gemma has a wealth of knowledge to share about all things dog-related. She realised early on in her dog training journey that thinking outside the box and learning from other dog sports could only be a good thing. As far as she's concerned, there is no such thing as one size fits all. She works with the dog in front of her, each as unique as the people that bring them to see her. She shares her life with Border Collies, plus one somewhat unorthodox Working Cocker Spaniel. The Border Collies share her love of work and learning. The Cocker reminds her that life should never be taken too seriously. Gemma is a passionate and enthusiastic speaker who brings lots of energy to her workshops and seminars. She is only interested in shaping dog and human behaviour using kind, positive reinforcement based methods. It is her fervent belief that all creatures are capable of great things - if only they can brought to realise it. Helping people and dogs realise that is her definition of a successful seminar. Join her FREE training group to keep in touch and pick up lots of inspiring tips and tricks: www.facebook.com/groups/fisherfix/ She has a passion for helping dog lovers build better relationships with their dogs so that they can enjoy every moment with them. You will find her online training courses & workshops full to the brim with useful information and ideas to help you solve any dog training problem.

Insightful dog training workshop

I attended a group workshop with Gemma after benefitting from her online training club. So good to meet her in person and gain her insights into my dog's behaviour and how we work together. I've come away with some homework that will be easy to implement and is specific to my dog and me.

During the workshop each dog was considered as an individual and Gemma knows exactly how to get the best from each one. She provides very kind and tactful guidance to the humans. Everything is done with positive and effective training methods but Gemma's approach goes beyond training and considers the dog's history and overall health. Gemma clearly appreciates her clients and loves and understands dogs.

Marvellous, Fun and Effective

Gemma is extremely knowledgeable, perceptive and in tune with dogs and with people. Gemma creates a relaxed yet focused atmosphere: Whatever the scale of the challenge / opportunity Gemma meets you where you are at and leads you through next steps with positivity. I have got so much out of working with Gemma, and look forward to more. Whether you’re navigating sticking points or you just want to get off on the best foot with your collie companion … I highly recommend working with Gemma online and / or in person - it’s a delight. Thank you very much.

Gemma has this special magic…

Gemma has this special magic when it comes to all kinds of Border Collies. There is no one else I trust helping me and my collie be the best versions of ourselves. Gemma is funny, kind, caring and attentive. The online training resources and groups are a great way to feel like you and your dog belong and the support is unmatched!! If anyone came to me about their border collie I would 100% point them in Gemma's direction and recommend them to join any one of her online classes. The workshops are also a fantastic training day.

Gemma knows dogs and their people

Gemma knows dogs and their people! She is very open, encouraging and put me at my ease very quickly. Calm, confident and talented my dog loved her. I learnt so much in a 2.5 hour workshop and smiled all the way home, feeling so much more confident of the way forward. I was very nervous about how it would all go, but should not have worried at all as Gemma has it all covered and understood my dog straight away. A very passionate, professional, knowledgeable lady who feels like meeting the girl next door. Don’t hesitate!

Dog training for prey drive

Gemma ran a group online training session for us about dogs with a high prey drive. She was such an enthusiastic speaker and we all learned so much from her years of dog training expertise with border collies and other dog breeds. The session was interactive and full of practical tips to use with your dog. I highly recommend Gemma!

My partner suggested I check out…

My partner suggested I check out Gemma's "Fixated to focused' 5 day FREE course. I have to say i was HUGELY sceptical....HOWEVER it was AMAZING!! From going back to plus basics plus getting feed back from posting videos of the challenges/daily homework . Gemma also did a LIVE eve check in, where once again you could get help/advise etc on the days activities. I would highly recommend & will also be on high alert to check out any future training opportunities! Thanks Gemma, you are truly an expert on the collie breed!!

Very professional

Very professional, a lot of contact, and Gemma has the ability to make things so interesting and easy to understand. Always comments on the good side of things first, before than giving some advice as to what might be better!

Gemma Fisher Dog Training

We had come a long way from the anxious, dog and people reactive border collie rescue that arrived with us 4 years ago but we had plateaued. Going back to some basics with Gemma Fisher has really helped us move forward and achieve control around food I never thought was possible.

Gemma’s video tutorials, and lives make so much sense are easy to follow and what I love is her dogs are not robots. They make mistakes and we can see how to help them get it right.
I had to get over the embarrassment of videoing ourselves but it is the best way of analysing your training and the personal feedback from Gemma is so helpful. I did the 8 week unleashed course and joined the collie culture club, it has given us both a renewed confidence and taken our relationship to a new level. 🐾

Gemma is an excellent trainer

Gemma is an excellent trainer, approachable and knowledgeable. She understands the 'life can get in the way' of training. Her explanation is brilliant. She has helped me with my anxious collie enormously. Highly recommend.

Great online dog training

Great online dog training, which I didn't think would work, but it really does. The ability to post videos and to get feedback from Gemma is the thing that probably makes this stand out. It's all about getting foundational building blocks solid and then building on those rather than specific techniques to help with a certain behaviour.
