THE WORKING PUPPY COMPANY REVIEWS
We have just completed an 8-lesson course with our 6-month-old Golden Retriever, Bracken. Kirsten offers an excellent class. She has an approachable manner and offers down-to-earth practical tools to aid puppy training. Although these are group lessons, she was able to offer individual advice too. The setting for the classes also provides a good experience for the puppies and a more realistic setting for everyday life. If you have never had a dog before or if you have had dogs all your life, I would highly recommend attending these classes. Continued support via email or 1:1 classes is also offered and much appreciated.
We had a really enjoyable time and came away learning loads and with a much improved young Lab, Millie. Kirsten was just brilliant - really knowledgeable and armed with an endless array of great tips and tricks to really understand and train. The class setup is spot on and very professional facilities - great to see the effort and investment going into a really great local business. Thanks Kirsten - appreciate all the follow-up and support, particularly with regard to our young daughter who got so much out of her training with Millie. We look forward to seeing you again and some follow-up, advanced training in the near future.
We receive a highly professional service from Kirsten with excellent instruction at the right level required to further develop and progress our skills with Belle. Group sizes was small and friendly, and we received plenty of feedback, guidance and support. The location is ideal and frequency of classes gave us time to practice between classes. Kirsten went above and beyond to share her expertise and knowledge. I would highly recommend The Working Puppy Company - very good value.

AWESOME PAWS ACADEMY REVIEWS
I cannot recommend Denise enough. I got my springer spaniel through lockdown, I patiently waiting for a year before his litter was eventually here. I booked him onto another puppy course and went to one class as that trainer didn’t suit our needs. Then we went to awesome paws, the first puppy class we went to Freddie had resource guarding and I left that class and cried all the way home, I didn’t know what to do but working with Denise I can now say after months and months of trust building techniques that Denise has shown me we now have progress! I’m delighted, it’s a long road but Freddie is supported where he needs through what Denise had taught me. Not only has Denise supported us both through Freddie’s issues she introduced him to scentwork and as a springer he loves it! He adores Denise and loves to be rewarded! So I’m summary…. Always use reward base training and look no further because Denise is the answer to your prayers.
I cannot praise Denise enough for all the help she has given me with my 2 year old Rottie X. My confidence has been built and its a pleasure to walk my dog. Highly recommend her.
Denise is absolutely brilliant. She's helped me to turn our nervous, disengaged rescue boy into the most loving, gentle, and attentive soul. I can't recommend Awesome Paws Academy highly enough.

PAWS4LIFE REVIEWS
I can’t recommend Ellen highly enough. Her advice and guidance has been invaluable. My once reactive girl who was so unpredictable as to when and what she would react to is now so much calmer and we can now spot when she is finding life difficult and support her to be the best dog she can be. Ellen explained everything in simple terms, and gave us simple techniques to help and support our girl adjust to life in a city and all the stress that that can bring. We now have a much happier and more relaxed little girl.
Ellen is a qualified Trainer and Behaviourist so you are getting the full package. She helped me tremendously with my mixed up pup. No fairy dust, just practical information and guidance towards working together to achieve our desired harmony!
