Effective training for good control. Ruby's really enjoyed it; she has good concentration.

What was really good for us was that Cathy ran a couple of one-to-one lessons at home before the main group lessons started, so that tuition was really helpful.

Ruby learns through the games, and her favourite is probably the ‘Aeroplane game‘ because she’s a Labrador and very food-orientated. She sits down really nicely, and the game gives her really good control and focus. It’s been really good, and she’s really lovely.

    We have been super impressed with Cathy who has given us some great tips and drills to work on with Olive! …can already see some great progression.

    Encouraging and supportive lessons

    Willow and myself thoroughly enjoyed our lessons with Cathy. She is very encouraging and supportive and we have both learnt a great deal.

    Fantastic tailor-made training sessions

    Absolutely fantastic training sessions for our young staffy puppy. I highly recommend getting lessons from Cathy. All tailor made for your dog.

    Great for developing the basics

    The real value for us was the environment, it really challenges the puppies with real distractions being in a park with other dogs!

    Amazing help with first puppy

    Not only is our whippet growing into a friendly (well-behaved!) dog, but the 1-2-1 sessions and the group sessions have helped us gain confidence too.

    Highly recommended for basic care

    I needed some more specific guidance regarding 14month old Alfie and Cathy kindly provided 2 1to1 sessions which highlighted the changes that could be made.

We love the group classes! It's been amazing to see Stanley learn so much while having fun.

I love the classes because they were hugely fun. I sort of didn’t really feel like we were studying; it was more that we were there having fun and playing games. And they were easy games that we could go home and practice very, very easily with Stanley. He absolutely loved it.

My favourite game? I think Stanley’s favourite game was definitely ‘two paws,’ which I think then helps with recall later on. So yes, ‘two paws,’ we absolutely loved the ‘two paw challenge’.
