ALL POSITIVE DOG SERVICES LTD REVIEWS

Excellent course. We attended the puppy socialising which was well thought out and well run. All Positive Dog Services have a very good understanding of puppies and their needs and dogs clearly matter very much to them. The trainers were generous with their time being happy to discuss particular issues after the session. We felt they went above and beyond, the lead trainer for our course was Sam and our two small puppies adore her. In addition to their time, there are videos to show the points discussed in the course. They were also very good in supporting us through our difficulties; it is twenty five years since we last had a dog and the shock of two small, highly active puppies meant that there were times when we wanted to give up. Sam could not have done more in helping us think through our difficulties. There are so many different areas in which their deep knowledge and understanding of dogs has been helpful. These people really know their stuff and we would highly recommend them. Alan, Judith, Marley and Freya.

The team at APDS are super knowledgeable, friendly and really keen to help with advice on all kinds of puppy behaviours. They get to know all the dogs in each class and take a genuine interest in them. The facilities are great, spotlessly clean and allow plenty of space for each dog to focus on their owners. I couldn’t recommend APDS highly enough. We attended Puppy Socialisation and then Puppy Training classes, both of which were excellent and helped us to make sure our Lab, Figgy, is a well-rounded pup. Thanks Sam and team!

Our little pup went to puppy Training he's learnt so much! Even things we didn't know were possible for him to learn. This course was well worth the money and not overpriced by any means. Extremely good value for the training he received . The whole team are amazing they even helped us when we ran into some nutritional issues. Happy pup happy pawrents !

GOLDEN VALLEY DOG TRAINING CLUB REVIEWS

I could not recommend Golden Valley enough. They’ve worked with my very nervous puppy Spud and got him completely out of his shell. They’ve been so lovely and patient with him. I have felt so comfortable taking him each week and it’s been amazing to see his progress. Thank you so so much and we’ll see you for the puppy improvers class!!!!!

Excellent dog training classes. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. My dog loves going! Great advice given for everything to do with dog ownership.!!!

Friendly Club with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Has a Clubhouse and large grass exercising area.!!!

THINKING DOGS REVIEWS

We’re really glad we met Andrea. Very knowledgeable and has a great understanding of dogs. Each lesson is productive, with detailed notes and homework sent by email that make it easy to follow up at home. We still have work to do, but it also builds up the owner’s confidence that the goals are achievable. Thank you, Andrea!

Andrea is an excellent trainer, both for my dog and myself. Positive reinforcement, enabling my dog to make the right choices himself. A fabulous calm environment, outdoors and indoors, Andrea follows up with training notes and videos to practice in between visits. She demonstrates her love of dogs and her job throughout, would highly recommend.

Andrea has been very helpful with our Labrador. We can see a lot of progress and we understand our dog better now with the training and advice that she has provided. She listened to us and observed our dog behaviours. I very much recommend her.
