3 Best Dog Trainers in Gateshead, UK

Great first experience with Nathan in learning how to manage and change the behaviours of our rescue St. Bernard that sometimes lunges to nip people and reacts badly towards other dogs. We had people to the house the following day and having followed Nathan's instructions, she was so much calmer and hardly reacted at all.

Absolutely brilliant puppy training class. My dog Bosco who can be a handful as he is a cross patterdale which are renowned for their stubbornness loved it. He has learned so much from this training and it has given us the tips and techniques to continue his training at home. Already recommended Nathan to a friend who has a Dalmatian pup and would definitely use this dog training school again.

Very clear and concise instruction on how to make my dog understand what I wanted to be done . Nathan understood fully why my dog acted how he did and explained to me which enabled me to better understand his actions . Has made a previously immovable bulldog drop his toys /towels/ school bags and everything else on command with 30 minutes!!

We got our dog Ziggy just before lock down in late February, due to Covid19 training was not an option but always knew it was something we wanted to do. We have now booked two lots of In Person Training with Karen and the family (2 adults 1 Teenager and our 8 old months Cockapoo) love it. We all attend each session and Karen's philosophy in my opinion is that Ziggy knows exactly what to do and Karen simply shows us how to communicate in a positive and fun way with him. Sessions are fun for us all and we would absolutely recommend Karen as a trainer for both dogs and people when you’re looking to connect with your new family member. We have others sessions no planned with Karen in the coming month, great value great fun.

Amazing trainer! We have a four-month old Tamaskan who loves to investigate everything and can get very excitable. We were at a loss on how to get him to pay attention to us! In just one week with Karen, we saw such an improvement. Karen is calm, patient, understanding, and hugely knowledgeable. Any issue, she's got the solution. Her recommended products have been top tier too. Thor actively loves heading to the centre for his training, and he loves trotting after Karen for treats and cues! It's not just good for the dog either; Karen has instilled such a positive mindset in us, Thor's owners. Now, instead of being stressed to high heaven wondering what we can do, we have a much calmer house, calmer walks, and a more hopeful outlook that any challenges can be overcome with the right training and consistency. Definitely a brilliant investment for you and your dog. We can't wait for our next session!

Having had a bad experience with another dog trainer, We contacted Blue Dog service in October this year. We spoke with Karen, arranged the training and we have never looked back. We had reached the end of our tether with our dog and just could not see the way forward, Karen changed all that for us. She is so calm, considerate and kind. Everything she said made sense. Not only do we get one to one training with her she also supplies videos and books for us to keep abreast of the whole process and is always available to offer additional support if need be. Our dog has come on “leaps and bounds” and we now appreciate him so much more, thanks to Karen.
