From a very young age, I’ve always been passionate about cinema and animals. I got lucky enough to meet the Vislor team, who made my dream of combining these two passions together come true.
I grew up with all sorts of animals, there was never a moment where the family home was inhabited by humans exclusively, welcoming dogs, cats, hamsters and even the ones we didn’t even know we had, like dormice in the attic!
After traveling and working in the film industry in France where I am from, I had the chance to join the Vislor team and learn from the best! I am now the proud owner of a lovely blue merle border collie named Java, a true French boy in his heart as his biggest passion in life is cheese and saucisson.
There is no greater feeling for me than training dogs and doing what I love with one the fabulous animals we work with.
My life has revolved around dogs and dog training. My parents have been involved in showing and working dogs, particularly German Shepherds, since before I was born.
I trained and competed with my own Working German Shepherd Dogs in Dog Sport to the level of IGP 3 before working for TV & film stunt dog agencies from 2014 to present.
The skills I learned in competitive dog sport gave me a great foundation for working with animals. Working with animals in the TV and film industry has been a great education in animal behaviour and well-being.
At this point I’ve trained hundreds of different kinds of dogs from highly motivated competitive sports dogs to pets with extremely challenging behavioural problems and I love working with every one of them.

Ash has worked wonders with Max!
We could not have imagined this pic 3 weeks ago. It is a case of learning what we needed to do to teach what is acceptable behaviour.
Walking is now a much more relaxed affair and we can have visitors to the house.
Still a way to go but I believe with help from Ash anything is possible
Ash, and Vislor, were fantastic partners in our journey to train our Lab puppy. They were flexible with schedule and having them come to the house was a huge bonus. Our dog is still working on getting to 100%, but we got a great foundation of skills and tools from them to continue the training ourselves.
Highly recommend working with Vislor, and Ash, and we’ll definitely be using them again for either refresher training or if we get another dog.
We sent our adorable but excitable working cocker spaniel to Vislor and have been so impressed with the whole service.
Our 1 year old dog used to pull on the lead and get so distracted out on walks that we rarely trusted him to go off the lead. He caused a lot of frustration.
After 3 weeks of being trained and cared for like he was one of the trainer’s own dogs, he walks perfectly on the lead and will come back when called. He’s now an absolute joy to take around, whether you’re in the countryside or in London.
We were sent regular updates while he was away and given a really clear plan at the handover.
We couldn’t recommend Vislor highly enough.
Vislor has been amazing!
Ash has been supporting my husband and I with our Malinois x GSD puppy and his experience and professionalism have been superb. He loves our pup as much as we do and cares for him as if he was his own. He's supported us with both training and behavioural advice for both our pup and us. This has been invaluable as it means we can carry on the training.
I can't recommend the entire team within Vislor enough and would advise anyone to try them!
Positive: professionalism, responsiveness, reliability
Ash and Sego came to visit today; they have armed me with such simple (but effective) techniques to help my dog, who has been very reactive to everything in recent months. They really understood him, and helped me see where I had been going wrong!
I couldn't believe that we managed to walk with two of their dogs (on and off lead), and my previously very reactive dog, was chilled and happy to be in the wider groups company.
I can't wait to get out and try this on my own!

**Update 10/01/22**
I can't put into words this weekend...
We walked along the beach (a absolute trigger for Tom previously), and he walked pretty much to heel on the lead... my husband said 'its astonishing'
We walked around a country park with my parents (who walked with him Sunday the previous week - and said his behaviour couldn't continue)... who were stunned by his response to other dogs on the walk (ignored them)... they have previously had the dogs, and said it would be a pleasure to have him again (I promise not how they felt the Sunday before!!!)
You've amazed so many... I appreciate we have a lot to build upon... but truly remarkable. We haven't let him off lead, but I feel thats all about setting boundaries, and not running just yet (lets give him a success!!!).
Thank you Ash - you have actually transformed our world and most importantly... Tom is just happier... more tired as he's exploring more... but his body language is happier
Positive: professionalism, quality, responsiveness, value, reliability
Finding the words to describe the transformation of our German Shepherd is going to be difficult, amazing brilliant, excellent just don't seem to do it justice. Our GSD Bo, stayed with Ségo and Ashley for 3 weeks due to her reactivity to dogs, cars, people, cats....the list was endless!
The dog we have back is hard to recognise from the one that sent in, Ségo and Ashley put our minds at rest, trained and cared for our dog wonderfully. She is now much less reactive and I would say a pleasure to walk, she is much calmer in general and whilst not the finished article, Ashley and Ségo both spent time during the handover to ensure that we understand how to continue with their marvelous work.
Simply cannot thank them enough.
Positive: professionalism, quality, responsiveness, value, reliability
If you need help with your dogs’ behaviour talk to Vislor - you will not be disappointed. Ash and Sego have helped me with my extremely dog to dog reactive German Shepherd. If you have a reactive dog and you’re avoiding places with other dogs, or timing your walks at night, stop messing around and get in touch with Ash.
My dog was hugely dog reactive and whilst training any dog takes a lot of hard work, time and repetition, I was totally amazed by what we achieved in our very first session. Needless to say each session after that has got better and better. I know I’ve got a long road ahead of me but with their support and guidance I have no concerns about getting to where I want to be with Brody.
What’s great about Vislor is they train in real life. In the places you take your dog too. They’re able to bring other dogs in as stooges - all of which are exceptionally well trained and therefore safe to experiment and learn alongside.
I simply cannot rate them highly enough. These guys are absolute professionals who get results.
I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for Brody and I.
Ash, Sego & Lorraine - thank you!!
Positive: professionalism, quality, responsiveness, reliability
Sego began training Calypso at age one. Not only was she able to teach Calypso many complex commands and work with her on her behaviour, but Calypso loved spending time with her. I trust Sego very much and Calypso would even stay with Sego overnight to go to dog shows and similar. Sego is responsible, has great communication skills and was an absolute pleasure to work with for both me and the small dog.
Ségolène was a fantastic handler for Bailey. She is incredibly patient and caring with the animals she works with, and Bailey clearly loved it too. He would always get very excited when Auntie Ségo came to the door, and she gave us some great new tricks and techniques to practice ready for his next job.
Ségolène and her colleagues always put the animals first, and whenever Bailey went out to work we always knew that he’d be kept safe, have a lot of fun, and come home nice and sleepy - we couldn’t ask for more!
I handed over my 3 year old dog Janet to Ségolène for a week, so she could help with some issues I had with her ( Reactive to bikes, other dogs and cars). Ségolène is 100% dedicated to her mission and everything went extremely well. Janet made enormous progress and came back to me much calmer, and I know now how to channel her energy thanks to Ségolène’s expertise.
I recommend without hesitation.
