I have attended puppy, junior and adult dog training classes for approx 15 years, and still continue attending the Sunday morning classes at 10 am with both my young Rotties Lulu & Spencer. The training in all classes is based on motivation and reward, and all my dogs have really enjoyed attending all the classes. David really understands dog behaviour and training and is always willing to assist with any problems you have. I would have no hesitation in recommending his classes, and I look forward to my Sunday morning classes for many more years to come.

Absolutely no better place to take your pooch. The dogs and owner's enjoy the experience equally. They are the best around

Terry Thorne - 03/09/2018

Puppy course was absolutely brilliant.

Andrew Fussell - 25/04/2018

Loved every minute of the puppy course

Heather Baldwin - 07/06/2018

Have just completed the six week puppy course with our Labrador and have nothing but praise for David who has taught us and our puppy so so much. Would highly recommend this course. Best dog walking service in the area as well.

Deborah Pearce - 01/11/2018

excellent reward based training encouraging positive reinforcement. David's experience shows as he educates owners on training methods to practice at home. this is our third shepherd and even we've learnt a lot , in no way are any aggressive or harsh discipline methods encouraged in either training or collars/leashes used. would highly recommend.
