WAGGAWUFFINS CANINE COLLEGE LTD. REVIEWS
When, through my line of work, I was confronted with a problem involving a dog, I desperately needed professional canine advice and immediately contacted Jane. Her considered questions, compassionate approach and obvious in-depth knowledge meant I immediately knew I was 'in safe hands'. Jane's thoughtful approach, sensitive and supportive guidance were proof to me of an educated and experienced trainer whose advice was instantly easy to understand and follow. She patiently talked me through the best ways to relieve the sensitive situation and, in doing so, helped resolve an extremely difficult situation with ease. I was completely blown away by Jane - she is a brilliant and effective communicator! Added to this, she is kind, happy, patient and eager to help - all the qualities we dream of in a dog, err... I mean, dog trainer! It is clear to me, and everyone who comes into contact with her, that Jane is outstanding in her field, professional, ethical, educated and exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Whether a rookie dog owner or an experienced handler there is a great deal to learn from Jane! I wouldn't go anywhere else! Louise Cowmeadow Creator and Series Editor of ‘The Yorkshire Vet’ (Channel 5’s most-watched factual series).
There are now a great many people offering dog training and behaviour work. But after doing the job for over thirty years, there are still relatively few 'experts' that I would recommend. Jane Ardern is one of those few. Jane has the ability to put anyone at ease, which is so important in helping owners. You can't help the dog if you can't communicate well with the owners. Jane's practical skills are also impressive. Her common sense, easy to follow philosophy is invaluable to both owners and her peers, who clearly respect her. And Jane's expertise with gundogs in particular is well documented. If you are looking for someone to help with all things canine, look no further. Rob Alleyne Dog Trainer BBC’s Dog Borstal, Co-Director of Quality International Dog Training Instructors (QIDTI).
I have known Jane for many years and worked with her professionally in developing and delivering both theoretical and practical, applied canine education and training programs. Alongside being an inspiring and motivational speaker, Jane has excellent communication skills and has that rare ability to tailor her approach to best meet the individual needs and the learning styles of those she is teaching. One of the most important skills in dog training is the ability to break complex information down into small, easy to learn-and-do steps and Jane is a master of this. She has excellent practical dog training and handling skills backed up by an up-to-date and thorough knowledge and understanding of the latest scientific research in canine cognition and the behavioural sciences that underpin welfare, ethics and their central importance in the emotional lives of both dog and owner. This means that anyone considering enrolling on this course can rest assured that both they and their beloved dog will be in the best pair of hands. Enjoy!

AQUA DOGS REVIEWS
I first brought Milo to Aqua Dogs when he was about 10 months old to help him lose some of his puppy fat and build up some muscle. When he first started coming he was afraid to go into the water and had to be lifted in. With Stacey’s natural supportive and understanding approach Milo soon developed more confidence in the water and now thoroughly enjoys his time in the water. The activities that he does in the water with Stacey stimulate his mind and it is clear the time he spends at Aqua Dogs has helped him develop into a calm and responsive dog.
Buzz was diagnosed with Myositis Disease which affects the jaw and head muscles he was unable to eat properly or pick up his toys, the treatment for this condition was a high steroid dose, over the weeks this resulted in muscle wastage all over his body he lost 6kgs in weight and no longer had an active lifestyle, not good news for this athletic breed. We asked our vet if Hydrotherapy would benefit him to support the muscle wastage which he agreed.
A couple of years ago I presented my lame dog Mavis, to Stacey at Aqua Dogs for some hydrotherapy. She’d been through the mill a bit with no surgery/treatment/painkillers curing her limp. Just one session later (I kid you not) & after 18 months of limping, Mavis has never limped again & hasn’t been on any painkillers since. Fast forward to last week. I have a beautiful Giant Rabbit called Violet who I’ve had since she was 6months old when I rescued her and I was so lucky to get the chance to love her. She is the most gentle giant you’ll meet. Calm & serene. Sadly her back legs gave way to arthritis & she got flystrike due to her immobility. I was lucky as swift action & a fantastic vet meant no damage to her skin was done. I brought her home but her back legs would no longer support her & she couldn’t even stand to go to the toilet. The time had come to let my beautiful girl go. I rang my vet & left a message to call me. My children were utterly heartbroken as was I, and then came my lightbulb moment.
