Julia was just absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and kind, helped us to manage to introduce a new puppy to our older dog who is very selfish and dominant, she brought up the “good boy” side of him near the puppy and showed us a glimpse of hope that they will get along well in the near future. She was so caring, always texting me to make sure that everything was going well… Would highly recommend Julia a 100% and hirer her anytime I feel is needed. She is so far the best dog trainer I ever met. Thanks julia, pip and paco enjoyed their time with you xx More...

Durdica came round to help me with harness training as my puppy wouldn’t let me put it on him or take him on walks! She taught me tips and tricks to get him comfortable wearing the harness! In our one hour session he was wearing his harness…and I know how to work with him to continue to get him comfortable with it! I’ll be calling her for all future needs! More...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Durdica and I wanted to share my review of her service. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog training.
First and foremost, the trainer was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She had a deep understanding of dog behavior and was able to explain concepts and techniques in a way that was easy to understand. She was also able to tailor the training methods to suit my dog's specific needs and personality, which I really appreciated.
She was also very patient and understanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns and address any questions or issues I had. She never made me feel rushed or dismissed my concerns, which made me feel valued as a client.
During the training sessions, she was always professional and punctual. She came prepared with a variety of training tools and resources, and was able to effectively demonstrate and guide me through each exercise. She also provided clear and concise instructions, making it easy for me to practice the training techniques on my own.
Thank you Durdica for your amazing job! Uncle Marcolino loves you.

Took Mochi to his first ever training and it was great! Straight away Durdica knew what his problem was and we was working on to address that. Couldn't believe the changes in 1 session could do. Definitely would recommend Durdica! More...
Gail
Dog Training
From the first time I met her she was very friendly and calm in her approach to me and my puppy. Without you been aware she is evaluating what your dog needs and provides instructions on how to assist these in an instructive but easy to follow manner. Best thing I did for my dogs behaviour at present and for the future More...
Sean
She was incredible with both Boo and us. My partner was particularly anxious due to a lack of experience with dogs. She made us both us more comfortable and confident.
Alexandra
Dog Training
I would definitely recommend Durdica!
My dog started showing some leash reactivity as well as I was feeling I am not in control.
I have had him for a year and I was convinced my dog was stupid and hard to train.
After our first session with Durdica I have Molly paying much more attention to me when outside, he has almost learned a few new useful commands and I feel in control.
Durdica has shown me how to walk on the leash correctly, how to ccorrectly give treats (timing as well as how to make sure your fingers do mot get bitten off) and explained to my my dog’s behaviours and reaction that i have been completely misinterpreting.
As a result after only one session i have a changed dog, feel more connected with him and fell much more confident.
Thank you!

Dog Training
Simply brilliant. She gave me a lot of time and advice on the phone before we met and then she stayed for at least 30 mins extra and refused to take payment for her extra time. In fact, we walked around the crescent with my 8 week old pup and she told me many wisdoms in this time. Cannot speak highly enough of how useful and helpful she was to me and my pup. More...

Julia was great at helping me with Cosmo’s recall. Cosmo responded really well to her and had a great time due to all the positive reinforcement.
Jacqueline Grant
Dog Training
Durdica was able to address all the concerns i had about my puppy, Teddy. She provide direct, hands on support in my home that was both valuable and intuitive. She demonstrated how best to deal with some of the early challenges I am facing with Teddy, that included silent commands, the clever use of treats to supplement training, how to use the leash within the home environment to address bad behaviour. It was a pleasure to work with her and am looking forward to doing further work with her her when my puppy is ready to go to the park in a few weeks time. More...
