POSITIVE TRAINING FOR CANINES REVIEWS
Our pup attended the puppy class, junior class and the loose lead workshop. Leah was fantastic in the classes as well as answering any other questions we had outside of the class. Leah can provide bespoke training, we asked specifically about taking our dog to work, as well as the core training skills. I particularly liked the specific attention each dog got in class as well as embracing others in our family who wanted to attend class (my mum). I will be recommending her to my friends and family as well as contacting her in future when Mabel is ready to move up to the next level! I can definitely see a great improvement in Mabel's obedience and skills.
Leah came highly recommended from friends and my local rescue centre, who will have seen how Leah has worked with dozens of dogs. I went to Leah with sky-high expectations and she still managed to exceed them; even in group classes, she is absolutely wonderful at tailoring the lesson to each individual dog and adapting exercises as needed. I've contacted her outside of lessons, too, and she's been so helpful and responsive. You can tell that she truly cares and is so dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone. :)
My puppy attended both puppy and junior classes with Leah and very much enjoyed them. We learnt a lot during all the classes and were able to go home and practice all we’d learnt. Highly recommend :)

MAHER & HOUND DOG TRAINING & BEHAVIOUR REVIEWS
We first got in contact with Karen after needing some help with our puppy working spaniel specifically, loose lead walking, recall in certain environments and how to have fun using the normal spaniel instincts. Karen’s help and advice has been priceless for us and we’re definitely going to booking another set of sessions going forward! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
Karen speaks dog like no one else I’ve met. She really helped me to understand my rescued scent hound, now we work together cohesively as a team. Her methods are easy to follow and she delivers training in piecemeal, easy to understand steps. A huge thank you to Karen from team Pluto.
Otis & I attended Karen’s Happy Gundog Training and had a great time! Otis struggled with keeping his attention on me during walks, his recall and his excitement reactivity towards dogs. Karen provided all the tools to help us work on these areas plus additional fun games and tricks to teach Otis to help work on his engagement overall. His recall improved straight away and is continuing to get better every single day, as is his reactivity. We work on Otis every single walk and continue to practice the different tools Karen has given us.

SCOVELLSWAY TRAINING KENNELS REVIEWS
Annie is a genius. She really understands both dogs & their owners. She keeps things simple but incredibly effective. After just a few lessons & a lot of hard work/consistency, my dog has gone from a crazy, barking, bossy little madam to a crazy little angel. I frequently get compliments on her behaviour & recall. Annie is a genius (but you do need to put in the work)
Annie and her team at Scovellsway are all incredibly knowledgable and able to assist from puppy to fully trained gun dogs. I have been going to their drop in classes for the last 2 years which I cannot recommend enough and I feel are league above any other local dog trainers that I have used
Found Scovellsway after doing a lot of research and reading reviews from many sources. We have two Spanish Water Dogs (from pups), the younger male (Reggie) is a nervy and reacts to his surroundings. We’ve tried all sorts of help to no avail, then we met Dan at Scovellsway and within 30 minutes Reggie walked past other dogs without any reaction. That has never happened in all our time with Reggie and we are very grateful. We’ll be back for more help. The reviews are all spot on and Scovellsway works hard for its well deserved reputation.
