THE MUTTY PROFESSOR REVIEWS
I required Roz's help after adopting a Romanian street pup called Ava. I was at a point where I was out of my depth and needed guidance in the best way to help ease Ava into her new life with us. Roz gave me a structured plan of advice and steps that I could implement. It is very clear from the start that Roz knows a lot about the welfare of dogs and she puts them first before anything else. Before getting Roz involved, I could not see how Ava was ever going to settle into our lives. 6 months later we now have a happy dog who we could not live without.
We were so grateful for the wonderful foundation given to Bluebell through the puppy classes. The team are so knowledgable and the Facebook group is a superb resource for puppy parents. We have since had several 1:1’s with Roz and have received a fantastic education in how to improve behaviour both in the home and with other dogs. We can’t thank her enough for the difference she has made.
We have just completed recall training with Hayley, she was brilliant from start to finish. Her calmness and patience along with expertise was perfect for our rescue and she has progressed so well. My whole experience with the team at the Mutty Professor has been professional, helpful and knowledgeable, I would thoroughly recommend.

HOUNDPLUS REVIEWS
I have a completely crazy jack Russell named Trouble. He was an absolute nightmare outside of the house, pulls like a train, lunges into hedges and completely ignored me!! I can't tell you how glad I was to find Hound+. Nick and Livvy are so patient and they explain every thing really well. I was completely blown away when after our first training session, Trouble actually fell asleep in the car on our way home! something he has never done in his life. He now settles a lot quicker in classes and pays more attention to me when we are out. we still have a long way to go but with the support and help from Nick and Livvy I'm confident we'll get there. I absolutely recommend Hound+, they're amazing.
We are on week 4 out of 5 of the training course for my rescue dog Louis and it is going really well. It is great to learn tips on how to encourage your dog and work with them and I have gained so much - as has my dog. Definitely recommended, I am delighted with the results so far.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hound+. Nick and Livvy make a great team, they obviously love dogs and are very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging with owners and come up with great suggestions to overcome issues. I have been attending classes with Monty, a rescue dog from Cyprus, and would like to continue on to more advanced classes.

SOUTH WEST DOG SKILLS REVIEWS
We attended SWDS 6 week puppy course when we got our staffy pup, Matt was very friendly, helpful & positive and the classes really helped to set up our pup to succeed. After attending puppy classes we also returned with our older dog for one of their free work demos, Matt & Tam have so much knowledge & we found it so interesting observing our dogs behaviour. Can't recommend them enough.
Did the sensitive dog course. It was Really helpful. Staff were all very understanding and supportive. Learnt some great and easy skills to understand my dog's behaviour and needs. Highly recommend this course. All the staff have a lovely calm way of working with both dogs and owners.
Matt and Tam work really hard to find the best way to support you and your dog. They are great at supporting and encouraging the humans, in a non-judgemental way, better to understand your dog and its behaviour. They are patient, kind and fun to work with. Our challenging border collie is making great progress as a consequence of the training we do with them.
