I booked a 1:1 session with Lisa to address my dog's reactivity and would highly recommend her for any behavioural issues. Lisa took time to understand the issues, then gave practical advice, showing me and then having me repeat. She clearly explained what was happening to my dog in each situation and showed me actions to take to start giving my dog confidence. Not only did she give me tools to deal with my dog's issues, but more importantly she gave me confidence in my own ability which in turn flows to my dog! I received a detailed report after the 1:1 session which was great as there is a lot of information to take in during the sessions, so I've used it several times just to prompt my memory! I've been following the advice Lisa gave and for a few weeks now and am seeing progress already. We have good days and not so good days, but after the training session I don't get stressed on the not so good days. I now understand the times where I need to intervene and remove my dog from stress and when my dog is just being a dog!!!! More...

Clyde goes to have lots of fun with his doggy pals he absolutely loves going and adores Lisa and Jo. They ensure that his needs are met as a large breed but still a youngster. Thank you for looking after him so well x More...

I have taken my puppy to the puppy training classes and now the adolescent classes now that he is older. Lisa is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to working with and understanding dogs. The classes are great to practice new learning techniques, discuss any issues you may currently be having with your pup and you are given more than enough theoretical content from either handouts at the classes or emails/links to videos with even more information. I have also recently taken my dog to the play days that the Dog Play Centre offer. What a difference I have noticed already in terms of him being much more calm and relaxed (what dog wouldn’t after spending 2 full days a week running around playing with easily over 20-30 other dogs. ) He is learning a lot from the other dogs with regards to how to behave and acceptable levels of playing. We take our dog twice a week, on his off-days he is so much more relaxed and worn out essentially. This is great for not feeling anxious about leaving him during any working hours. They offer a pick up and drop off service too which is ideal especially if you do not work from home. It's gotten to a stage now that my dog is more excited to see the Dog Play Centre van pulling into our street than me coming home from work-- obviously means he's having the time of his life up there. Could not recommend anyone more than Lisa and the rest of the team when it comes to your dogs wellbeing. More...

The puppy classes were so informative and I’ve learnt so much from them. Not just training techniques but understanding puppy behaviour. It’s not just the puppy classes, Lisa always asks everyone individually if they have any concerns or questions at the start of every class. It’s very supportive and for a first time puppy owner like myself I was so grateful to have that support. More...

We’ve just completed the Adolescent Training classes with our 1 year old Staffie Nala. The classes cover a range of really useful topics and guidance to help the dog and owner develop the best possible relationship and behaviours. Our pup is very vocal and can be disruptive but this was managed really well. I’d highly recommend Lisa’s classes and approach to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful and fun dog trainer. More...

We send our dog Ollie here once or twice a week on busy work days. I can't state enough how amazing the Dog Play Centre is with Ollie, and I have such peace of mind when he's there and know he's having a great day. He gets so excited when he spots the van. He has a really great day there every time and comes home tired and happy. They're really good at getting to know your pup and the best options for socialising with their other dogs. They have an indoor and outdoor area with fun things like ball pits, couches, a trampoline and a sensory garden etc. More...

Cannot recommend this place enough! Brodie loves going to daycare...he gets super excited when he sees the van stop outside the house when they come to pick him up! ! We have had pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs and having a blast. I know he is extremely well looked after and everyone working there loves their job. I know he’s safe and gets plenty cuddles when he’s there too! Lisa and everyone working there are fab ????????❤️???? More...

Amazing place my dog loves it there and all the staff are trained to the highest standard and very welcoming...Baxter couldn’t wait to go there I can’t recommend it enough. ...when home he slept the whole evening dreaming of all the fun he had that day and best of all he was washed before he came home so no muddy doggy....lots of fun to be had here for dogs of all shapes and sizes great for socialisation...Baxter could be a bit timid at times but being at dog play has given him more confidence.

Used the freedom field for the first time today and Sparky (a very hyper border collie) loved it! He can be reactive and has poor recall as he is a chaser and I'll admit i was slightly apprehensive about the field being Sparky-proof before I got there but it is completely secure, both sections are huge and there is plenty of bits and bobs for dogs to play on - even though Sparks just wanted to chase his ball. An excellent facility all round. I even managed a bit of training as there were no distractions and I didnt need to worry about other people whilst he was off the lead. More...

Lisa and her team put the needs of the dogs at the centre of everything they do. They treat them as if they were their very own. Lisa is a thoughtful trainer and puts lots of time and effort into continuing her learning and developing her staff. Your dogs couldn't be in better hands! More...

Can’t praise Lisa and her team highly enough for the care and attention they give the dogs in their day care. My dog absolutely loves it and comes home exhausted! It is a great set-up with indoor and outdoor facilities and separate fields for smaller or less confident dogs, etc. Would definitely recommend it. More...

My dog loves this and the team look after her so well. She is a young, high energy working cocker and having the fields for her to run around, as well as other dogs to play with, is brilliant. Lisa and her team really understand the dogs too and supervise them properly and genuinely care for them. Excellent and so glad I found it for my dog. More...
