Thank you 🙏 Cara Sadler2025-09-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie was absolutely amazing! She helped me and my puppy, Teddy, with training, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole process fun and easy to follow. Teddy responded so well to her methods, and I feel much more confident continuing the training at home. I highly recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a kind, skilled trainer who truly cares about both dogs and their owners. jayne Golding2025-08-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie was very professional, friendly & very helpful giving us tips to help us & our pet Would highly recommend! Elise Swan2025-07-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Jennie asking for help with Judge my Cavapoochon who was showing high separation anxiety, pulling on the lead and general low impulse control. I’d spent ages over the years trying to research the best training tools with limited success. Jennie was able to help within minutes of meeting. She instantly understood Judge and how best to correct the behaviours. The simple but effective tools / tips she gave were showing instant results. The difficulty I’ve found with the training apps or research online is that they don’t actually understand the context of your dog and many are contradictory! Having someone so specialised in this field help like Jennie, allowed her to instantly know how best to engage and train my dog and was worth every penny. I can’t recommend Jennie enough to everyone I meet who needs big or small help training. You can see how much she loves, understands and cares for dogs which makes her so good at this job. If you are thinking about asking for her help, do not hesitate and just book her in now! Clive Burrell2025-07-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie came to see me and my wife at home to help with our new rescue border collie who has a number of issues. She was very thorough in her advice and clearly knew her stuff as our dog was very responsive. We went for a walk and she made various suggestions which seem to working as regards walking properly on a lead. Followed up with a very helpful email. Would thoroughly recommend-thank you Jennie. 5 stars! Tiff C2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really lovely girl who knew her stuff.
