We really enjoyed the Troublesome Teens class. Our 14 month old doodle learnt new skills every week and we have the tools to continue learning going forward. Emily was so knowledgeable and always made time to focus on everyone individually. Scout was particularly fond of the reward based learning! More...

The teenagers course with Emily has been invaluable, I have learnt the techniques to teach my dog. Emily is a great trainer who breaks it down onto sections that are fun for both me and my dog. I have loved being able to teach him. More...

Thanks again for the session. We have had 2 walks since using all the techniques and she's done really well. Only barked at 2 out of 8 dogs and minimal pulling. Still a working progress but 100 x better after only 1 session! I havent woken up with sore stiff MS arms today from being dragged which is amazing! More...

We have just completed a 5 week puppy class with our border collie pup. Emily was brilliant and we looked forward to every session. All the things we have learned are coming in very useful for every day situations and for having a well behaved dog. Basil loved socialising with all the other puppies as well. Thank you. More...

We have just attended a course of puppy classes with Haigh Hounds and they were excellent. They were very well organised, all equipment provided. Emily was very patient and able to offer individual advice with all the different puppy characters. I cannot praise and thank Emily enough. 👏👏👏👏👏 More...

Had our 1st session today with Emily as we’ve recently adopted a rescue from Bulgaria with a really strong prey drive, I learnt so much in this session, everything made perfect sense and I now feel confident that I have the knowledge I need to make progress with Pippa, Emily clearly understands this issue and that was really important to me when looking for a trainer. I feel so positive now and look forward to future sessions. Thank you Emily More...

Emily has been working with my little fur baby Chester and myself for a few weeks now, and I cannot thank her enough... Chester is only 15 weeks now but already we have mastered sit, down, watch me, with me, and find it. still more work for me to do moving forward, but I couldn't have done it without the insights and patience of Emily. I'll definitely be doing puppy play dates when they are on, and will use Haigh Hounds throughout Chester's progress. Thank you so much Emily. More...

We have been having puppy training sessions with Emily and they have been fantastic! Emily’s has so much knowledge and looks at all aspects of training from different angles. She has helped us to create hand signals as well as verbal for our Dally pup. I’m so glad we started early as I feel we are really on a roll now. So far we can now , sit, lay down, watch me, touch, come. This week we are working on stay and leave it! Happy mama and happy pup! More...

I’ve only had 1 session with Emily but I can’t believe how easy she made everything seem considering my dog is an absolute menace🤣she made me feel like we weren’t completely lost with our dog and we may actually get him to behave in some sort of reasonable manner🤣thanks so much Emily🥰

We have been with Haigh Hounds from the start. The initial attraction was a solo walk, with attention given to our dog only. Since then we have been delighted with the service we have had. Haigh Hounds are always thinking about how to improve what they provide. For example where to take my dog on his walks for a different experience, ie playing in the water, or having him meet up with other similar dogs for a playday. Providing video and pics that reassure us, that our boy is having the best time! Recently, Emily involved us with scent training for our dog, which is a really good thing for him, as he needs lots of brain stimulation. He loved it, and literally crashed afterwards. We love the fact that HH offer special little things like this which we think make such a difference. They seem to genuinely care about the dogs they look after. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. More...

Haigh hounds have been amazing! We have only had a few training lessons. Working on Loose lead, and other little areas. Sniffing work and getting Louie to speak when he should ( not all the time 🤣 ) The difference in such a short time is amazing! Always makes me feel comfortable and helps loads in working with Louie, Louie loves the attention 🤎 thank you so far with all your help. More...

First puppy training session for Dexter and me with Emily together. Emily walks Dexter most weeks for us and showed me what she has been doing to promote loose lead and engagement so we can continue this training at home. I could see the difference after one session together! Would 100% recommend Emily for dog/ puppy walks and training. We have a very happy pup and owner! 🐶 More...

Emily is so good with our lab Retreiver. Our dog can be very hyper and strong and Emily really brings out the best in her! She gets very long walks and always comes home tired. We would recommend Emily over and over again. She is the best decision we ever made for our dog, and it comforts us knowing our Dog trusts and loves Emily🤍 More...

I came across Emily from walking a little dog near mine and her excellent reviews she’s taken on Lola and keeps me updated with photos and videos and she’s very honest which a lot of people are not, Lola loves to go on her walks with Emily and comes back one happy dog and totally exhausted is what a spaniel loves Thankyou so much Emily and Thankyou from Lola for walking her and especially now it’s needed with circumstances with my little boy x

I would highly recommend Emily at Haigh Hounds to anyone! Our cocker spaniel, wasn’t the best on the lead and wasn’t the best at being on her own in the house. Emily walks her Weds,Thurs and Fri and Lottie absolutely adores her! Her progression on the lead is outstanding and she is no longer anxious about staying on her own. Emily always gives me an update after every walk on how she’s got on followed with some photos, which is just a great personal touch. She’s absolutely amazing at what she does and we are so lucky we have found her! More...

Emily came into our lives River, Jillys and mine by chance and I can honestly say it’s a true saying help finds you when you need it the most. We myself and these 2 amazing dogs my soul mates are going through one of the most difficult times in mine and their lives. River the youngest was completely out of control! Sent me to A&E on numerous occasions, I also have chronic Arthritis and every day was getting harder and harder to the point I had decided I needed to rehome her which was completely breaking me knowing in September she would be gone And in came Emily who my daughter had mentioned to me just by chance. She almost tore Emily’s arm off on the first meeting and sadly I thought yep she’s totally broken bye bye Emily someone else who will not come back! Emily didn’t give up 😲 she came just 3 days later and took my gorgeous girl on board. Still I waited for the sorry I can’t work with her. Well I’m totally blown away after just 1 session Emily had her behaving and willingly doing as she should! So I approached my evening walk with dread last night but took control. Sat cleared my head, garden got 5 minutes to calm River and with trepidation opened the gate. In 13 months I have never walked anywhere just been dragged and in absolute agony. Poor Jilly not knowing what the hell is happening. I cried walking along I was so happy not just for me but for my sweet girl. Yes she tried but just remembering everything Emily said through tears I remained calm and River responded. I came home with 2 very calm girls ecstatic and balled my eyes out with relief! Emily you not only saved River you saved me and Jilly from loosing her forever I will be forever grateful I know she has a long way to go but I know now she is not broken and she is also on this long difficult journey with me and feeling it. But with your amazing understanding and training and support we can remain a family. Anyone who calls on Emily not only finds a dog trainer they find a true lady who listens and cares not just about the dogs but the owner and genuinely takes on board the whole situation. Thank you so much you are amazing and we will be forever grateful xxxx More...

Highly recommend @Haigh Hounds - Emily. Is absolutely amazing. My dogs love her to bits and wait for her to come on their “Haigh day”. I’ve noticed an improvement in them both when out on walks ever since Emily started walking them. Kind and lovely lady ❤️ flexible and reliable! Definitely someone you can really trust! 100% recommend! More...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for Emily I’d given up having a dog walker as mine were good with me but stressed everyone else out. My two need continued training whilst being walked, this was apparent with previous walkers so I’m overjoyed to have found someone who continues with training whilst out in their daily walks. She has great understanding of different breeds and their different attributes. Emily hasn’t had a nervous break down as yet 😂 More...

I can highly recommend Haigh Hounds. After months of me training what can only be described as my stubborn mutt, it was nice to find someone who can not only walk him but also continue to reinforce the training we’ve already done. This has helped us enormously & given us all continuity. Thank you so much. More...
