Theo and i iniatially did the puppy Foundation course and just passed our Bronze citizenship. Theo was at the beginning very wary of being around other dogs but has really grown in confidence enjoying training every week especially the scent work ☺ Gary and his team are really friendly and allways happy to give you a helping hand when needed.

I have learnt so much from Gary on how to communicate with my bonkers puppy, I never thought in 6 weeks we’d have sit, down, stand, touch and so many other skills learnt. I’d highly recommend!!!!!!

Can't recommend Gary enough, Duggee has learnt so much in his 6 weeks at Puppy Classes. Everything is done at the dog's pace. The courses are excellent value for money, and we're looking forward to bringing Duggee to more classes in the future. More...

Fantastic classes and as enjoyable for owners as they are for pups! Our lab pup completed the puppy beginner class but we will continue to take him to the other classes that Gary offers. Gary is brilliant with all of the dogs and really knows his stuff! Could not be happier and would definitely recommend! X More...

The Puppy classes are excellent. Gary is so good with all the pups, and great at training us humans too! Our children also joined in with some of the classes so they could feel involved and now they’re helping to train Buddy at home!

After a bad experience with another trainer we asked Gary for a one to one...... AMAZING!!!! Within 20 minutes of being at our home our very nervous growling puppy was at ease - a work in progress but I can not thank Gary enough already just from this first meeting. Looking forward to puppy training classes with you...THANKYOU More...

Gary is brilliant, from helping us choose our puppy to training her! He has helped us along every step of the way. He is fantastic with the puppies in class and offers great advice on how to train your puppy into being the perfect puppy. Out puppy absolutely loves the classes and graduated yesterday, and we'll be back for the next set of classes. More...

I can't recommend Gary enough for 1 to 1 dog behavior expertise. My dog and I were very nervous of other dogs whilst walking around Notley. This was due to a dog attack incident. Gary's knowledge was amazing. He was very professional. As a result we are now enjoying our walks and finally able to deal with any dogs that come our way on or off the lead. More...

I currently have 2 dogs attending classes here and can not praise highly enough.
My 4 month old is just about to complete his puppy foundation course and both he and I have thoroughly enjoyed them.
The pups remain focused for the entire hour due to Gary making the lessons so much fun.
My other dog came to me via the rescue I foster for, he had spent the first 10 months of his life living in total fear and misery, and was scared of humans, especially men. Gary has been totally fabulous with him right from the start and made such a concerted effort to make the class a positive place for him. Monty has gone from not letting Gary near him to running up and greeting him when we arrive.
I can not recommend highly enough.

What do you love most about your job?
The thing I love most about my job is seeing how a shy frightened dog can start to enjoy life, given a lot of love and some careful, considerate training.
Showing owners how to maximise the potential of their new puppy and see them grow into well mannered members of the community.
How we can empower our dogs to choose to make the right decisions and build a loving trusting relationship built on mutual respect.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to become a positive and ethical trainer following the death of my English Springer Spaniel Toby in 2002. His recall wasn’t very reliable and he was killed running across the road. His death inspired me to learn how to positively influence the decisions our dogs make. To teach them to come back because here is THE place to be.
Why should our clients choose you?
I care about how our dogs should be able to enjoy co existing with us and have a happy, healthy life. If I can help guide owners to make their dogs life a little better then I’m happy
