Brilliant training. Started with pet dog/puppy training and now doing various working disciplines with my dog. No matter what you want help with or what type of training you wish to do they've got you covered.

Amazing. 1st lesson with my Italian Spinoni yesterday. After always needing a head collar to stop them pulling they were transformed. Can't wait for the next lesson.

We have started training sessions with our springer spaniel and I am so thankful we have! He is a much calmer boy already and we've only been for three sessions so far. Workable training methods that yield results. Highly recommend :) More...

Gundog training - we started as a very novice handler with a 1 year old Labrador.
Just over 18 months later we've had a season picking up on a local shoot ( where my dog was awarded retrieve of the day on three occasions) and just recently came third in a novice working test!
I strongly recommend Mike if you want sensible gundog training with results!

A big thank you to Mike and the team. The results of my dog are a testament to the abilities and knowledge of the training team that supported, guided and instructed us in our training. Friendly, constructive instructions shaped my young pup into a confident 12 month old well balanced personal protection dog (still in training ) A testament to Mike and the team that the dog was worthy of taking part in his demonstration team, last weekend at the Betley Country Show. Big thanks highly recommended. More...

Our 2 rescue dogs were proving a little unruly. Our Jack Russell in particular was reactive to other dogs and walks were becoming stressful. I can't praise Mike enough for what he has done. In only a few short weeks he helped us understand our dogs and we now have 2 happy and relaxed dogs, no unpleasant scenes when we're walking and we've even progressed to off lead work. Thoroughly enjoyed our training and hope to come back for group classes and agility in the future More...

I've been doing my work experience here for months now, and I've manage to see dogs transform from utterly unmanageable to the perfect pets. It's outstanding what knowledge and skills you can learn as both an owner and as a spectator. All the dog trainers are easy to get along with and can offer individual sessions which provide even better results. Would recommend to anyone! More...

Our Rottweiler dog has been attending weekly training sessions with Emma for nearly 5 months since he was a 12 week old puppy. It started with puppy training, socialising and obedience training, with initial lead work, sitting and staying etc. then passing his bronze award. There is a small class of 6 dogs and handlers and the improvement from week to week is obvious. Emma clearly loves her role and is very knowledgeable, transforming our dog from an excitable dog to sitting and staying for long periods, avoiding edible and other distractions to considerably improving his recall. We are extremely impressed with her manner and methods of teaching, making the instructions during training sessions very clear, with frequent feedback, and most enjoyable for the dogs and owners. It is very good value for money and we highly recommend Emma and this company. More...

Had emma to help me train my older Stafford who was continuing to pee in house. With patience and understanding she gave me amazing help as to how to retrain an old dog! Proves you CAN teach an old dog new tricks without shoving loads of unnecessary food treats down there necks!! Then when we had our French bulldog who had been trained wrong she showed how to correct it! Wouldn't use anyone else! These know what they are doing in this world! Thankyou so much!! Xx More...

I was recommended CDT and they have really helped me achieve some consistent improvement and confidence with my puppy. After starting at beginner with Emma and now working with Mike in the early gun dog class, I've seen a general improvement in obedience and other basic skills. To their credit they are brutally candid about the current performance / behaviours of the dog and the handler, which is exactly what's necessary to get results and progress. I highly recommend More...

I’ve had 6 session 1-2-1 with Mike to help me with our GWP x Sprocker. Lottie was about 5 months old when we started and needed some rules. Mike is direct, and that’s great, it’s exactly what I (and Lottie) needed. He has helped me massively and Lottie has come on really well as a result. We still have a way to go as she’s only 7 months now but I feel confident that we can progress well and help her become a well balanced, obedient dog. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike and his team. More...

A big thanks to Emma for helping us train our golden retriever Sol, still some work to do but the help and support you provided enabled him to be a key part in our wedding without harassing all the guest. .. hopefully we can iron out his love of other dogs next �. Awesome service, great advice and Emma has come up with a load of dynamic solutions to ensure we can continue to train Sols Even with the reward restrictions that have resulted from his Health issues. Couldn’t recommend the service highly enough!!! Truly 5Star More...

I first started seeing Mike for general obedience training with my extremely willful four month old German Shorthaired Pointer, Toby. The improvement in Toby's behaviour changed beyond belief in just a few sessions, he is now a joy to have around. I would recommend Mike and Cheshire Canine Services to anyone looking for a fantastic dog trainer. His knowledge is vast, and fortunately for me so is his patience! More...

Q&As

We have built a reputation for fixing the problems that other trainers couldn't fix, being the Last Chance Saloon for many dogs that are facing being rehomed. Seeing progression and fixing problems is what drives us to succeed.

There is a definite need for trainers that are both qualified and experienced, the industry is so easy to enter that anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Having my own working dogs that were well trained, and my previous experience with training people gave me the inspiration to put my knowledge to good use.

Our business is built on knowledge, effective methods and good results. Emma and Matt have Honours degrees in Animal Behaviour, and Mike is a Graduate of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers. We all have dogs with advanced obedience and dogs that work in their designated discipline. We are not overnight trainers with Internet certificates and one dog that will sit and roll over!
