Dog-in-a-Box Dog Training

Pa was absolutely fantastic with my Romanian rescue dog throughout our 121 sessions. He is not an easy dog to understand, (agreed by all that know him! ) but Pa was able to use her extensive knowledge to work with him and understand his struggles! Pa is so very helpful and answered all my questions, no matter how small or silly. Everything she has taught us makes so much sense and has allowed the bond with my dog to flourish further! I will be booking in again to continue and further his training, as Pa was able to bring out his clever, playful side which is something we didn't see enough of before! Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Pa, Chester and Caitlin x More...

Pa is very knowledgeable, experienced and patient. She is there when you need her to help with any questions you may have. Our puppy loved going there and learnt so much from her as we did. It is a good set up and we had a book for homework which was really useful. She be will be booking more classes as there is a wide range. More...

Pa is very knowledgeable and our puppy loves her. The sessions were fun and informative but focused on not overloading the puppies, which made them much more effective. We are very grateful for all the tips and exercises and the classes gave us a lot more confidence. Would recommend for any puppy owners, experienced or new! More...

Pa has been brilliant with Satch and I. My understanding of Satch and our bond has grown even stronger through fun games and training. I have noticed a real differnce throughout the 4 sessions and you really get out what you put into the sessions/homework. We can't thank you enough pa More...

What a glorious find. Training at Dog-in-a-box has been enlightening. Professional and very caring. Georgie is a sprocker 16 months old and a puller. So Philippa has been working with Georgie and me and we have made much progress. Georgie loves the training and I do too. I look forward to our weekly meet up. Such good value. The bond between Georgie and me is so much stronger. We love it. More...

Having moved to the country, I needed to find somewhere to continue agility training with my JRT. Word of mouth, I contacted Pa, who runs Dog In A Box Training. The lessons are great fun in a perfect safe and enclosed arena with all the standard agility equipment. Lessons are either group or individual and can be tailored to requirements. ie: just for fun or maybe you'd like to compete. There is also an enclosed area on artificial grass for those days when weather would stop play ! Highly recommend and it's not just agility, Pa caters for every aspect of dog training from puppies and beyond. Come along and join in the fun. Pa is a great trainer, who adjusts to each individual dogs needs. Few pics attached showing my dog with Pa. 😊 More...

We had a great few weeks at Pa's puppy classes. Pip is now a confident and well behaved pup and is great in social environments. Pa was very good at explaining the different training methods so we could get it right and it was always fun for Pip. It was also really nice to know we could drop a message if we were struggling with any part and she would advise. We would highly recommend Pa and her training classes 😊 More...

Thoroughly enjoyed Adolescent Antics training at Dog-in-a-Box. It's a great set up and Pa spends a lot of individual time going through any particular issues as well as the group training. Gained so many tips and ideas for our nervous, energetic dog and we're already starting to see her willingness to learn and please. I can highly recommend Dog-in-a-Box and we're looking forward to booking further sessions. More...

We have been dog owners for over 40 years and didn’t believe that there was too much we had left to learn. How wrong we were ! After taking on a rescue dog with a very complex variety of disruptive traits, we turned to Pa for help . Her positive training methods were amazing and taught us so much. Thank you Pa , see you soon. More...

Pa is excellent. We have a reactive dog and Pa has really helped both our dog and us with her training skills and advice. We really can’t thank her enough. She continues to be our guiding light. We are so glad we went to Pa and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. Thanks again Pa. More...

Sometimes in life you make bad choices but there are times when you know within moments you have made the best choice you could have made. My beautiful Labrador puppy was doing ok with her training but I knew we could do better with recall. Pa was clear, patient and my puppy adored her right from the word go. The games (exercises) were quick to pick up for both the puppy and myself and with just four private sessions I now have a puppy intensely focussed on me when I need her to be. If you need help with your dog, don't hesitate - pick up the phone! More...

We’ve just completed training with Pa for our Goldie, Lomby, who was pulling badly on the lead during walks. Thanks to Pa, the pulling has all but stopped and walks are enjoyable again. We’ve learned lots of really useful techniques and are busy practicing Lomby’s recall too. For relaxed, enjoyable training that builds both the dog’s and the owner’s confIdence I really recommend Pa (and of course Wobble who made all the difference!) More...

We have a British Bulldog, before seeing Pa, we were at our wits end with George nipping at our feet, even though teething, he was becoming stressful. Pa is so welcoming and put us at ease right away. After the first session, George was like a different puppy. All 4 sessions with Pa have been a god send. We cannot thank Pa enough. Enjoyable, fun and lots of treats for George. Thank you Pa xxx More...

We booked 4 sessions with Pa for our 2 dogs to work on anxiety issues and reactivity. They have both improved immeasurably even in such a short space of time with Pa’s patient and fun training style. She gets them very engaged with lots of encouragement and rewards but never pushes them and knows when they have had enough. We did not have a good past experience with a puppy classes (not Pa’s) and I was quite apprehensive about further training but I’ve learnt loads as well as the dogs and have really enjoyed the sessions and the homework! Definitely booking more in! More...

Albi and I started working with P back in May. I went to her as Albi is a lovely springer who pulls like a train! We are working and getting this to stop but it is not an easy task. I feel so supported and Albi has learnt so much more since starting training. P is so considerate and honestly cares about Albi and making sure he succeeds. Walks are less stressful and shes been able to grow my already amazing bond with Albi as he loves doing training and is so happy when he succeeds. Would recommend to anyone! More...

We’ve just finished a 6 week course in a small group and couldn’t be happier! Pa is an excellent trainer and we loved her tailored approach to all different dogs in our group. While it was a group course- everyone got lots of individual help from Pa. Pa is knowledgeable in all things dog and gave us much advice and guidance. The games she had taught us are especially fun. The facilities on side are also fab- big secure field for training and horses and chickens nearby to expose the dogs to. Thank you Pa 😊😊 More...
