As first time dog owners, Lee has helped us enormously by providing tailored training for our cockapoo puppy. We are seeing the benefits every day by putting into practice the training techniques recommended by Lee and our lovely girl is becoming a well behaved and happy dog. Thank you for your continued professional support Lee. I would not hesitate in recommending Furbabies to any dog owner who needs help with their canine friend. More...

We’ve just finished a puppy training course with Lee for our border terrier puppy. The training was invaluable and really enjoyable. It’s also brilliant to know that you have ongoing support from Lee and Furbabies even after the training ends. It’s well worth the investment! More...

We used furbabies for training our golden retriever puppy. Lee was great and helped domesticate our dog very quickly, providing fun and engaging techniques which the kids could get involved in too. Friendly and very knowledgeable, and also provided ad hoc support over WhatsApp when the puppy inevitability played up! Would highly recommend, thanks Lee More...

Lee at Furbabies was fantastic! He came to our 1 to 1 puppy sessions with lots of enthusiasm and knowledge. The sessions were clear, structured and we were given supporting session documents to refer back to when needed. Our puppy is doing unbelievably well and it is a relief to have the lifetime guarantee! Being 1 to 1 sessions, we received advice and techniques suited to our puppy, which was incredibly valuable. Thank you! More...

Excellent 1:1 puppy classes with Lee. We felt really supported by him during sessions. The WhatsApp support and info sheets were and continue to be really handy. On balance, the training is quite alpha theory based, so make of that what you will. However regardless of this we saw a real improvement in our pup, mainly due to the management of unwanted behaviours materials. I would recommend Lee for puppy training and would certainly book more sessions with him again if required. Thank you Furbabies! More...

I would definitely recommend Lee , we have a large German Shepherd who with us is very loving , but very protective and would not allow friends to come into our home. After only a few sessions and behaviour advice Boris now not only allows friends in but enjoys extra cuddles. As Boris is large so is his voice😱 and again with some very helpful tips and instructions we are able to calm him and quiet him down. As a family the support and advice provided has had a massive impact and allowed us to share the joy Boris brings us. Don’t think twice about bringing Furbabies on board I wish we had used them sooner. 🐾🐾🐾🐾 More...

Lee was just amazing with out puppy labrador during our 5 sessions training course. He took the time, patience and care to provide us with personalised but highly tested training and behavioural methods, both for us and our dog :), was always at hand to answer our questions (and we did have a lot), and we could see improvements almost immediately. You could easily tell how much joy this brings to him and that reflected in the outcomes. We also attended a socialisation session and it was great fun. Highly recommend using Furbabies services.

We booked a block of one to one training sessions with Lee. Our cocker spaniel puppy at the time was 11 weeks old and was extremely bad with biting. Lee helped us put some methods into place and within a couple of weeks the biting completely stopped. This saved many bruises on our legs :-) Even after the training sessions are finished, I can message Lee with any questions and he will always reply with a very helpful message or video. Great service and from someone who really cares! Thanks, Lucy More...

I cannot recommend Lee and Furbabies dog training enough! Lee’s training approach and specialists skills improved my puppy for the better and trained my dog to perfection. His sessions were easy to take in and not overwhelming. Lee provides you with materials so you are constantly learning and helping your dog too. I loved the practical elements which really helped grow my bond with my puppy. Lee is always on hand day & night to help you with any questions about your dog too. I would use Furbabies training again and recommend to all. More...

Yes I did use Furbabies. It's still on going but what Lee has done so far is rewarding.

Lee has been brilliant with our very lively, nervous dog. She suddenly decided after been attacked by another dog when with me that she didn’t like other dogs so we had to keep her on the lead at all times. Lee has been very patient with her on walks and has reintroduced dogs to her and she happily plays with them and can be off the lead. Lee has been fantastic and pippin loves her twice weekly walks with him. I highly recommend. More...

Having had previous dog walkers to walk my 1 year old black labrador I found that my dog had become very difficult to walk as he had picked up some very bad habits. Thankfully, I was recommended Lee by a family member and since then I couldn't be happier with the service that myself and my dog are provided with. Ollie literally gets so excited when he sees or hears Lee's voice and It doesn't surprise me as Lee has a genuine love for animals and its shows. I can see a huge difference in my dogs behaviour when out for walks. This is down to Lee's professionalism and understanding of dog behaviour. I am lucky to see my dogs progress via facebook as Lee is very punctual when adding videos so that I can see my dog not only enjoying his walks but socialising with other dogs and playing in an obedient way. I couldn't recommend furbabies enough. They are the cheapest yet most professional dog walking service I have come across. Thanks for everything that you have done with Ollie Lee. Keep up the good work!! More...

Gracie had been attacked a couple of times by other dogs when she was with our previous dog walker (it was never reported to us until recently).

We have recently used Lee to walk our Sprollie Toby whilst we were on holiday, Toby stayed at our house with my Mother in Law looking after him but we felt he needed a good walk/run everyday as well as just in the garden. Lee took him all over to places Toby had never been before, he posted a video of his walks everyday which was fabulous for us. I think Toby had a ball whilst we were away, iwould def recommend Lee for dog walking and we will definitely be using Furbaies again in the future. Thanks Lee. More...

Q&As

Working with animals, caring for them and helping them overcome unwanted behaviours

We have a degree in Animal Management, Behaviour and Welfare, and have been planning to work with animals in our own business for some time. It is our passion and where we want to be. We are pet and animal focused. We are not about money, more about doing what really matters to us

We offer exceptional quality, care and knowledge. We don't just look after your pets as though they are our own. We also make sure their welfare is taken care, and we will also offer free advice, support and guidance to make sure your pets experience is always 5 star quality. In addition, we are professional at all times and we put customer support at the top.

Services

Train with Lee, our award winning dog trainer who holds a wealth of knowledge and experience in dog care, management and behavioral support.

All of the training is bespoke and 1-to-1. Lee comes to you and works with you and your dog to get the results you want and to grow the bond between you and your beloved dog.

Lee is an experienced, award winning dog trainer with many different breeds of dog. He works hard to get you and your dog winning results.

As part of the puppy training 1-to-1 solution you will receive the best training experience coupled with after support and training material.

All dogs are different and so as the training progresses Lee may decide to change some of the training methods so that your puppy can achieve the wanted results sooner. Lee will give you support through out the training period and will be there afterwards for support should you require it.

Karima is a qualified Animal Behaviorist, specializing in animal management, behaviour and welfare for dogs. With many years of experience under her belt she will be able to identify the issues experienced and the underlying problems which will be contributing to the unwanted behaviors experienced.

Along with the assessment Karima will supply training material and guidance for helping resolve the issues your dog is experiencing, and will be available for further email support after the session is complete. In addition if assistance is required with the training Lee is able to assist as well as support Karima in getting your dog to being happier and away from the unwanted behaviors.
