KIM POTTER DOG TRAINING REVIEWS
Kim's rapport with dogs is truly inspirational. From our first training session with our terrier dog, Misha, Kim offered encouragement and clear instructions as to how we needed to change in order to solve our problems with Misha. Kim was supportive throughout the training and is always there to offer further advice, if needed. Misha responded to Kim immediately - we had to work a little harder to gain the same respect! But we are definitely getting there and Misha, I am delighted to say, is improving every week. Thanks, Kim!.
Kim is terrific. She immediately tuned in to our rescued terrier 'Pip' and his issues. He made progress straight away. She is always there if you want any follow up advice and cares passionately about what she does. She shows real empathy to dogs and their owners.
We have two dogs both Bull Terriers, one being a bully the other being extremely anxious. We were having massive problems! Aggression, Ill manners, lead control problems you name it we had it! Kim came along for a 2 hour session and put into place techniques we could do to fit in with our lifestyle and they have worked! Our household is a much nicer/calmer place to be and I would strongly recommend her! It has changed everything for us!.

DOGS BE DOGS REVIEWS
Tash has been absolutely amazing since she joined us last summer. The boys, Oscar 3yr old Siberian Husky and Charlie 1yr 5 month flat coat retriever absolutely adore her. Tash took the time to assess the differing needs for both boys and we have worked together covering a variety of training areas including lead walking, recall as well as enrichment. She has amazing knowledge and really works with you so you and your pup can work together and be the best team ever! I have seen amazing developments in both boys since she joined us and I'm excited to continue developing (and having fun) together. Couldn't recommend her enough (and neither could my boys!!).
We feel very lucky to have found Tash! She has spent a lot if time getting to know our family and is 'training' us all about how best to train and enrich our puppy's life in really practical and easy to understand ways. Tash has a real passion for what she does and it shines out of her. The dog loves her too which helps! She is super trustworthy and reliable.
Tash has helped us with training in a variety of areas, from lead walking and recall, to resource guarding (to name just a few). Tash has also introduced us to the world of canine enrichment, which provides us with a whole new way to engage with (and tire out) our 9 month old Golden Retriever. I cannot recommend Dogs Be Dogs enough, someone with a true passion for what she does, which truly shines through. 5 stars!.

HOLISTIC HOUNDS REVIEWS
We found Nathan and Charlotte a few months ago . Needed help with our 14 month old Border Terrier. She was a total nightmare on the lead , very loud and shouty when she spotted other dogs and pulled like a train . We had tried other trainers without success. Within five sessions with these guys my terrier is far more engaged with us and walking her on the lead is now a pleasure . I cannot recommend Nathan and Charlotte highly enough!.
Highly recommended - Amber came out recently to treat my generally sensitive & opinionated mare. To my surprise, she was putty in Amber's hands! She feels so much better and thoroughly enjoyed her treatment. Thanks so much, Amber, we are looking forward to seeing you in September.
I got in touch with Nathan and Charlotte towards the end of summer and it was the best thing I’ve done. I had seen a few trainers before but had little success with my reactive/nervous dog. Fast forward a few months and I now have a dog who has very few reactive moments where as before, every encounter with a dog there was an episode. I use to dread walks but now I’m now confident and every walk is a pleasure. I can’t thank them enough for educating me and giving me the confidence/knowledge to build a better relationship with my dog.
