Nicole is really engaging and very informative. The 121 training sessions were at the perfect pace and provided a great summary post session with videos.

We have been taking Mya to Puppy classes with Canine Confidence for 5 weeks now and couldn't recommend it enough!! The lessons are really helpful and relaxed, as well as fun and stimulating for the puppies too! Weve learnt lots of new tips and tricks which have been really helpful when training Mya at home. We dont want the classes to end and definitely plan on taking the next course as Mya gets older Thank you Nicole!! More...

Would like to say a massive thank you to Nicole for all the advice and training tips that she has given us over the last 6 weeks. We had our lovely girl Minnie from a rescue 8 weeks ago and she had a few bad habits that we were keen to iron out. I couldn’t walk Minnie at first by myself as she pulled so badly, every walk was stressful. Well not any more! She walks beautifully on the lead now, will wait, sit, walk by my side. We will continue to use Nicole’s tips to help Minnie keep improving and can’t wait to book her on to an agility course. Thank you Nicole :) More...

Nicole was brilliant. We were in a group with two other dogs so perfect number to react with others but not too overwhelming. She took the time to speak to us all about specific issues that we were having. Definitely trained me as well as the dog. It was great fun too. More...

Molly and I had two sessions with Nicole and I have really seen a difference in Molly's behaviour on walks. The advice Nicole gave me has made a real difference and Molly is a lot more interactive when she's on her lead. Molly enjoys the training games and becoming more responsive to commands. Nicole is extremely patient and has a genuine love for dogs. Her training is accessible to anyone's daily routine and is easy to follow. I would highly recommend her. Molly and I are considering attending her group classes. Thank you for your help Nicole. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing the progress that dogs and owners can make together.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have loved working with dogs from a young age . Over the last few years I've worked with some amazing trainers and developed my own techniques. Since having my daughter I have decided to take the plunge and build a business that she can be proud of.
Why should our clients choose you?
I only use modern positive techniques to get the best out the dogs, I am dedicated and love what I do.
Puppy & Beginner course
Puppy & Beginner classes are one of our most popular classes. We welcome all ages and breeds of dogs to our classes.
We cover basic obedience in a fun and engaging way, all reward based training. We cover
- Getting your dogs attention
- Focus exercises
- Sit & down
- Walking on a loose lead (heel work)
- Recall
- Play
- Leave/ Drop
This is a 6 week course, booking required. If your dog would struggle in a group setting consider our 121 training sessions instead
Deluxe 121 training sessions
Our Deluxe Training package is designed for those dogs with more in-depth behavioural and training needs and for those owners that want to go the extra mile.
This package includes 5 hours of training with our behaviourist, split into an initial consultation of 2 hours and three further 1 hour follow up visits. Meaning more 121 time for you and your dog!
Not only that, it also includes
- Written report after every training session
- Daily diaries to track your dog's progress
- 'check-in' call up to two months after your last training session
- Free travel within 5 miles of Bignall End
Masterclass package
Would you like both group classes and 121 sessions? Then this package is for you!
The Masterclass package is perfect if you would like the benefit of group classes; but you are also wanting some help with issues at home (nipping, toilet training or you are nervous about attending a group class straight away).
This package includes:
- 6 week Puppy & Beginner course
- As well as two 121 training sessions of an hour each.
Your first 121 training session can be booked prior to your course starting or you can book both during the 6 week course.
