Dog Training
My dog is a rescue from Dubai she wasn’t really trained in much except absolute basics. Anthony was so good, I only had four sessions and the change in my dog is amazing.
He’s also taught me how to reinforce good behaviour and I can now carry on the training by myself.
He was consistent and friendly and very easy to chat to.
I definitely recommend Juniper Dogs, and Anthony.

wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest appreciation for the incredible training experience you provided to Amicus and Rocket Your dedication to your craft and genuine love for dogs truly shone throughout the entire training sessions
From the moment we began our journey together, it was evident that you possess a profound understanding of canine behavior and effective training techniques. Your expertise and patience have had a significant impact on both Amicus, Rocket and me.
The transformation that both boys underwent during the training sessions is nothing short of amazing. The skills they acquired under your guidance have not only made them more obedient but have also strengthened the bond we share. Thanks to your training, I couldn't recommend Anthony More

James is a really kind and caring person, his training is excellent. We learned a lot about our dog’s behaviour and why they were displaying the challenging behaviour.
Our Bichon is now enjoying his walks much more and we are not stressed after a walk with him. James was also very understanding of our individual difficulties and was able to offer guidance that was specific to our needs as owners. I highly recommend James to anyone needing a dog trainer.
Thanks,
AJ

James is very easy to work with, he is informative and gives lots of helpful tips and ideas. He assessed the relationship between me and my dog and quickly explained what was going wrong.
Basically, I was trying in vain to dissuade my dog from using undesired behaviour, when what I need to be doing is making it very clear that this behaviour is not allowed. He then showed me what I needed to do to achieve this, and worked on building my confidence in managing the behaviours. Things started to improve immediately, but it is very much a work in progress. I feel much safer now and although I am much stricter, my dog is still very happy and enjoying his walks. I am very happy with the service James provided.
Thank you,
Elizabeth.

Dog Training
Excellent response to my request initially from the lovely receptionist then a free consultation given to ensure me and my dog were matched with the right trainer. James has been invaluable in enabling me to better understand my rescue dog and how to train her (and myself 😅) so that we are confident on walks and around children. After only 3 sessions the improvement has been wonderful and we both enjoy our walks without any stress. I am confident that I can contact James at any time if I need any further help with Rosie. I would definitely recommend Juniper Dogs and James to anyone needing help. More...

Our Trainer was James Lewis, he was very professional, got the measure of our wild Cockapoo, trained her and us.
James took us and our dog out of our comfort zones and showed us nothing impossible.
Thank You James, will be in touch if we struggle.

Good advice and plan of action. Looking forward to implementing it
What do you love most about your job?
Put simply - being with dogs. I have always been surrounded by dogs and somehow get on with them quickly. I suppose its a mutual respect :-)
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have had businesses of my own before and currently have a small equestrian business so when the chance came up to do Dog training as a business it was a simple choice.
Why should our clients choose you?
I beleive we are very knowledgeable trainers and insist on meeting the dogs and there owners before we propose any solutions so we can understand what exactly is happening to be able to work out the best way to coach the owners to train their dogs.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We don't like to do this and generally insist on visiting the dogs before we propose any solutions. We would consider however if for logistical reasons we cannot get to see the dog.
Private, One to One puppy training
Not all puppies are suited to traditional Puppy Classes. Private, One-to-One Puppy Training can achieve great results
The most common cues are probably known to most owners. Applying them and understanding their use is vital to the health and safety of your dog. We will coach you on how to teach these easily and methodically. Watch, Sit, Stay, Wait, Down, Leave, Touch. . . . .
Private, One to One Dog Training
A dog very quickly becomes one of the family and your best friend. Our Dog Training programme helps you gain a better understanding of your dog and learn some basic obedience for everyday use. Our programme is about both you and your dog enjoying learning together in fun sessions.
