3 Best Dog Trainers in Macclesfield, UK

I highly recommend Chris (D.O.P.E.) as dog trainer. Chris not only worked with my dog but also involved the whole family (include the children) in the training process. He was patient, kind, understanding and effective techniques helped us build a stronger bond with our dog. I'm grateful for his guidance and positive reinforcement techniques. We are grateful for his expertise and highly recommend them to other families.

Only had 2 sessions so far with Chris but wow have I already noticed a massive difference in the behaviour of my 14 week old puppy. He is so knowledgeable, very friendly and super professional. Theres nothing he doesn’t know about dogs. The training is always fun for the dog and owner; and it usually results in an extremely tired pup for the remainder of the day! Can’t wait to see what we learn next! Would highly recommend!

Chris really understands dogs. He knew how to gain the trust of my dog, and took his time and their relationship grew through respect. He has helped greatly, training is both along the way. My dog is calmer, less reactive and becoming more desensitised to his triggers. I'm more confident in taking him into situations I would have apprehensive of. Chris has also looked after my dog while I've been on holiday - something I wouldn't have considered unless I had the amount of confidence and respect for him that I do.

I have been meaning to do a review for ages but as I’m sure lots of people know life can get pretty busy! I first got in contact with Damian around a year ago, due to multiple disabilities I was looking for an assistance dog from day one Damian and his team were amazing! They supported me through the whole process from finding the breed that would work best for me and then the specific dog that I bonded and has the best connection with. Both Damian and Becky kept me informed with pupdated and lots of videos, it was so amazing to watch her progress! Damian and his team went above and beyond to help us be able to fund her and we will honestly be forever thankful, when the time came for my girl to come home Damian did a wonderful handover, he and his team supported us throughout the transition even when my little mrs started to push some boundaries. I am delighted to say Iris is now a phenomenal assistant dog and has honestly changed my life she is so special and I can’t imagine life without her (we recently had a trip to busy London and she was perfectly behaved though out). None of this would have been possible without the whole team! Thank you so much guys you’re all amazing!!!

Tod and I have just finished our puppy beginners class with Damion Riley training school. Becky and Liv have just been brilliant! The classes have been so informative and helpful. They are tailored to your individual needs and concerns. There is a class WhatsApp group. Which has been a lifesaver at times. Becky gets back to you straight away with help and reassurance. Encouraging you to the next level. Even at unsociable hours and I am very grateful for that support. We are looking forward to continuing our training with Damion Riley and still have a journey ahead. You have to put the work in yourself but if your aim is to have a well mannered dog. I can highly recommend Damion Riley and his fantastic team to lead you on that journey. Thanks guys Jo & Tod Oh and they come back exhausted.

One session with Beccy & the mindset shift was huge. We're implementing all the training she suggested & just 3 days later, our 11 month old whippet is walking to heel and calm in his crate during the day. Looking forward to our next session!
