CAMBRIDGE DOG SERVICES REVIEWS
Melissa is a fantastic trainer. We've worked with her in person and, now that we live in the US, we're taking online training courses. I've never done on online training course with my dog and wondered how well it would work, but it couldn't be easier and we're already seeing results. Melissa's short videos are easy to follow and I find it helpful to go back and watch them again to make sure I'm staying on track as we move through the sessions. She's been very responsive to any questions I've had, as well.
Our Labrador puppy Copper had lead biting/excitement issues on walks - we had tried everything and walks were very stressful, but after just 2 sessions with Melissa over zoom, Copper hasn't reacted in that way since! She is so much calmer and more responsive. Zoom worked better for us than training in person as the trainer could see exactly how Copper was with us in every day life. Definitely would recommend Melissa!.
Melissa is amazing! We couldn't take our 2 Jack Russell crosses on a walk without them barking like mad at other dogs when on their lead and it was making life hell. Now, using the techniques Melissa taught us, they don't make a sound! Melissa is extremely knowledgeable and completely non-judgemental. She gave us lots of different training options and let us choose the ones that we felt comfortable with. She also helped us with toilet training and barking in the garden.

CAMBRIDGE DOGS REVIEWS
We took our 10 week old cocker spaniel pup to Cambridge Dogs for the 6 week puppy classes. The team are friendly, knowledgeable and dog centric. They’re really interested in each pup and it’s not one size fits all. We had a lot of questions which the team took the time to answer and went the extra mile for us. We highly recommend Paula, Susannah, Kerry-Anne and Lindsay.
we be completed 2 classes and could not be happier with our dogs progress. the team are very supportive and knowledgable, offering tips and reassurance each week. we also had two one 2 one 90minute sessions when our dog was very young to help us with his behaviour, invaluable!.
Excellent dog trainers, friendly supportive and go the extra mile when you need advice. They have done wonders with Ruby. Who can get bored easily. Classes are fun and they also adapt the tasks to suit you and your dog. Looking forward to the next set of classes to build on my relationship with Ruby. Without Cambridge dogs we wouldn’t have the relationship we do currently.

POSITIVE PAWS DOG TRAINING REVIEWS
I took my 12 month old Border Collie to play in the adventure field today. We had so much fun, we went back in the afternoon! She is training to be my assistance dog! The field gave us space to bound, space for Bella to play, let out energy and for us to train safely. Wheelchair access is good. There is a good solid wooden ramp all the way up to the pond, you do need to bring a portable ramp to get up the step to it from out side (the gate from car park spot) or there is a ramped section half way up if you use the middle doors between the car parking spots. For rainy days, this is amazingly awesome for wheelchair users and their paw friends! The field is bumpy so make sure your wheelchair can cope with a little bit of rough. But I managed perfectly in a mid wheel, TDX SP Wheelchair. The whole design is great, it allows your dog to gain confidence and has all sorts of things for them to do, everything their heart can desire, from swimming, to digging to exploring. They even provide towels and doggie shower, plus separate water bowls for each dog. My girl has been asleep ever since we got home! She didn’t even wake for her tea! Can’t wait to come back, we plan to make it a regular visit twice a week! T9 help with confidence and training. And allow my BC time out from her busy hard job of looking after me! The owner was easy to contact via phone, when I rang with concerns I be in the way a bit with my ramps etc. he was very nice and understanding.
We have had so much joy watching our Great Dane puppy (now 13 mths) just being able to run free and have fun. Being a giant breed many people think he oh he is so big he must be aggressive when in fact that is the absolute opposite. Many smaller dogs become aggressive with him maybe due to what they are feeling from their owner. Steve and positive paws have offered our boy a place to play with no worries about other people's reaction. We use the field once a week at Weekend and it is just his free time, he even knows when we are near where he is going and he gets super excited. Thank you Steve and I would recommend to anyone.
My friend and I are always on the search for good dog fields to take our German Shepherds and this is by far the best one that we have found! The pups absolutely loved the water and spent the majority of their time in there you can tell that the enclosure is very well looked after too. We loved all of the little touches and very much appreciated the doggy shower and shampoo/towels! Would 100% recommend.
