Fantastic, took my collies to meet Ellen and her knowledge is incredible. I have a much better understanding of their behaviour and what makes them tick along with a huge improvement in their behaviour. I am so glad I found Ellen and we have been working together for the last couple of months. More...

So glad we found The woof pack. What a fantastic team, we have used a variety of their services and have loved every one, from junior classes, to Scentwork and hoopers. Our dog was full of energy, and had some bad manners, he now knows how to behave without us nagging him. He also has an outlet for all that energy! Thank you so much girls, Todd loves his hoopers sessions with you! More...

We have been attending classes for some time now and the change towards good dog behaviour is evident in all the dogs that have been coming along. Training the owner to train the dog through a reward based training, is amazing and you see the benefits very quickly.The dogs come straight in, on to their beds relaxed, and work fantastically but seeing dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds interacting happily and being able to work around each other is testament to the commitment and understanding of dog behaviour by Ellen. Would recommend to anyone who needs any help with their dog! More...

Took my collie to meet Ellen, as we have been having some issues with her herding cars, and Ellen’s knowledge and understanding of collies and why they tick is fantastic. I now understand why she behaves the way she does and all about herding. We have started playing sheepball, giving Luna an outlet for her herding behaviour and working with her around cars. We have very little issues around cars anymore, all thanks to Ellen. Thank you so much! More...

Been to couple of other puppy socialisation events on Halifax and always came away disappointed until I found The woof Pack, very well run by people who actually understand dog behaviour and training! 5 out of 5!

The Woof Pack has really helped my dog charlie, he is very anxious and with the techniques they have shown us, he is so much happier and calmer when out! Thank you so much, I don't know why we didn't do it sooner. More...

We have done a number of courses with the woof pack and have enjoyed them all. Firstly we did the Scent work training which our dog really enjoyed, then we tried the Gun Dog training which was really well delivered and we have used lots of the training in our everyday life. We have also been on the Junior training course, Ellen really helped us to actually mange to get our dog to focus on us rather than the other dogs! More...

So far we've had 3 services from the Woof Pack...Basic trainingThis is the first thing that worked for our dog. We had tried everything we could think of (including residential training) and we're at the end of our tether. The progress we saw from Ellen's training was fantastic. She's extremely knowledgeable and patient, plus our dog loves her!Scentwork workshopThis was great, our dog had a brilliant time. It has also given us something new to keep him entertained with.Dog walkingOur walker is lovely and has taken a real shine to Dean. When I've seen them together (he's walked while we're at work) he's been extremely excited to see her. Katie has also been working on his socialisation by walking him with her own dog and says his behaviour is getting better with every walk.So overall, I have to say the Woof Pack has been brilliant. Taken our dog from something of a terror to a family member. Couldn't be happier with their services and I expect we'll be using them for more courses soon. More...

�� Great Service ��
Ellen is really friendly, knowledgable & enthusiatic about her business.
We have a very lively Labrador called Mack & wanted him to have more interaction/fun with other dogs.
He has been enjoying pack walks for the past month with Ellen. Always get updates on how he has done & advice where needed on behaviours. Great to see him so shattered after each pack walk also!
Thanks Ellen �

As I work from home as a PA at weekends I struggle to take Jack out for the run he needs. Ellen came to my rescue and now takes Jack so I can concentrate on my PA work stress free. I'd be lost without her and Jack loves his time out with her too. More...
