My two cheeky dogs are walked by Pete daily. Both the dogs and I are delighted with Pete and the walks he takes them on. My neighbours say they see the dogs jumping into his car with excitement! Pete communicates clearly with us and gives us piece of mind. I cannot recommend 21st century dogs enough! More...

Peter was great with my Westie, Archie. He’s done wonders on their regular walks, and Archie is more obedient off the lead, thanks to Pete’s time and training. He loves his time with Pete and the other dogs ... highly recommended! More...

Peter is a fabulous trainer. He is compassionate and thoughtful when understanding your dogs needs. His communication and teaching skills are excellent and is able to simplify behaviours for you to understand easily. I would highly recommend Peter for both walking and training. More...

I have recently studied a comprehensive dog training course with Pete over the last 6 months. He is one of the loveliest, smartest, dedicated and one of the most dog loving people I've met. He has a deep understanding of dogs and their needs and a natural empathy with all the dogs I've seen him work with. If I lived in Manchester and needed a dog walker or help with training for the little dog that is the love of my life then Pete would be the man - if he'd have us! Any dog would be lucky to have Pete look after them. More...

Just had our first 121 puppy training class with Peter. I feel so much more confident already as Peter has set out a plan of action and clearly explained the best ways to positively move forwards in training with our Bonnie. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Bonnie took to him straight away and we felt very at ease with him. Can't wait for our next session and to see Bonnie blossom under his guidance. Thankyou Peter! More...

Peter has worked with both my dogs. One is super fast and one is very calm and careful. His approach to both is fantastic and I even though I have trained dogs for 14 years I would happily attend his classes and learn something new

Our dog goes to Pete for doggy day care, he is truly amazing. He sends regular updates, and looks after my baby like he would his own.
Pete is also a doggy guru. He’s always on hand to offer advice and set my mind at ease. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Take the Lead were fantastic when my regular dog walker had to take leave at short notice. Peter really put my mind at rest and was flexible enough to fit in with my needs
. This meant that what could have been a very stressful situation was a total breeze; princess adores him too and is more sociable and better behaved as a result of their time together.

Pete is amazing with our puppy max. He sends regular updates, and is always on hand to give advice and support. It’s so nice to know my boy is being cared for so well when I’m not there. I actually think Max prefers Pete to me. ��� More...

We have used Take The Lead emergency day care service, which was absolutely fantastic. Pete arranged to get a key from us quickly, collected our little dog Frida in his own car which was really safe for transporting pets.
Looked after her all day and brought her home later, we had regular photo updates, we felt really happy with this service, highly recommend, Frida had so much one to one attention, which was great, she came home very happy. She loves Pete and Max, and she now has regular walks.
