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.

We had the pleasure of attending an online workshop hosted by Gemma, focusing on dogs with strong prey instincts. Her passion for the subject was infectious, and her extensive experience with border collies and various other breeds made the session incredibly informative. The interactive elements and actionable advice offered were invaluable. I wholeheartedly endorse Gemma as a trainer!

Training with Gemma Fisher

Training with Gemma has turned my collie Lyra around. She is becoming balanced and calm facing everyday life with far more confidence.Her incessant barking indoors has stopped making life far more comfortable for her and me. She's enjoying her training, as she is far more focused. Thankyou Gemma.x

Fabulous Collie Success!

Gemma's knowledge, support and communication have made our time with her programme a lot of fun and with very successful outcomes for myself and Ozzie. We enjoyed reinforcing our skills and changing to much calmer Collie behaviour. I have loved working with Gemma!

Excellent workshop 🐾

The workshop was excellent for us, just the right thing at the right time. Whilst there was an overall topic, I really liked how Gemma listened and responded to both handlers and dogs in the moment on what we specifically needed help with. It was also lovely to be with the other collies and their people.

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 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 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!!
