Absolutely amazing results with my dog Ralph. He was so well cared for, trained and the daily updates kept me at ease and fully aware of what Ralph was working on.
All the key areas I highlighted were addressed and care taken to tailor the training to Ralph’s specific needs.
Great handover to bring me up to speed and guidance/contact kept post the course that shows how thorough this course is.
Would highly recommend and the cost has fully been worth it already as Ralph is much calmer, obedient and happier - which has totally changed our day to day for the better.

Highly recommend Bark & Birch and their board and train services. We used a 3-week customised program to work on our dog her impulse control and off-leash recall with distractions. They kept us updated and provided much needed insight into not just training but overall help with her behaviour ensuring she is in the place for many happy years to come.

Lily was amazing; a total dog lover as you would expect but amazing with owners too! She was a huge support to us with our rescue pup and worked wonders. Follow-up and so much care that I didn't expect. And it goes without saying that Luca adored her after just one session. Lily's obedience classes were fantastic too. Don't wait! Call Lily ????

We have been doing remote puppy training/school with Naomi and we could not be happier. Her empathy and knowledge about dogs/puppies is vast. She takes the time to answer many questions that come up and tailors sessions to the needs of the family. Our pup is now 4 months old and we have successfully dealt with many of the usual issues that come up. She was also invaluable to speak to in order to prep for the pup's arrival. Given the pandemic, I would especially recommend online/zoom sessions with Naomi. We could not have managed without her. Thanks a million!

I simply adore dogs. I was always amazed by their intelligence, agility and loyalty and having the opportunity to work with them, was a dream coming true. I love what I do because I believe there is rarely any bond as pure as the one between human and dog. Being able to help owners & dogs building this bond further, and being part of this journey is the most rewarding feeling in my life.
My career started with my own dog long ago and moved on to giving advice to friends and family on how to raise or train their dogs. Having worked with many different breeds I know all of them has their characteristics, and I understand how to approach each dog to engage their attention.
The Name and Logo of the company is inspired by the memory of my beloved first dog, Lexy the American Bulldog who was my first and best teacher on my journey of Dog Training and Dog Psychology.
My long term goal is to become an Assistance Dog Trainer and participate in the honor of supporting a disabled person with a loyal partner and a special helper in their every day life.
Being genuinely passionate about dogs, I constantly look for ways to improve my knowledge whatever it takes: reading another book, completing a wrokshop or facing real life situations to help Owners and their Best Friends find their way of communicating with one another.
Why should I get a Dog Trainer?
Making sure your pup is trained properly really matters. Without the necessary groundwork, you’re risking your dog’s wellness and security, as well as the safety of any other dogs it comes into contact with. It’s also important your dog is trained so that it can integrate properly with you and your family. Keeping it out of trouble will save you a lot of hassle (and potentially costly repairs too).
Making sure your dog listens to commands is very important. Not only will handling it be less stressful, but it can stop dangerous conflict with other animals. Furthermore, if your dog doesn’t want to listen to you, situations such as dealing with traffic can potentially become fatal. On the upside, having a well-trained pup enables you and your pet to socialise properly with other dogs and their owners.
Having a dog that is obedient means that life around the home becomes plain sailing. With good manners, your dog will be able to tell the difference between right and wrong behaviour, while being able to foster good relationships with other members of your family. These connections can help to build a fruitful relationship with your pet as part of the family. Time well spent together will allow you to both grow together, sharing experiences and creating the type of memories that make having a pet so worth it.
How about becoming an authority figure yourself? Although your trainer will help your dog get up to scratch, they will also teach you a great deal about the fundamentals of dog training. This includes not only how to handle your own dog, but principals that you can use to understand and better interact with other dogs too. Being able to help out less-informed dog owners can be a wonderful gift to have, and something that you can take further if you enjoy it.
Having a well-trained dog also means that taking your pet to the veterinarian will be a lot easier than it would be otherwise. Considering the nature and volume of work that they have to do, being a vet is tough, let alone dealing with an uncooperative pet in their surgery. In some cases, dogs can become violent when approached by a vet – definitely something they don’t need. By having your dog properly trained, you can avoid injuries – for both your dog and your vet – as well as unnecessary embarrassment upon visits.
How do I pick a Dog Trainer?
When hiring someone to train your dog, there is plenty to think about. The needs of both you and your pet have to be considered and so taking some time to sit down and work out what is important to you is a must. Down below are a few of the questions you might ask when it comes to finding the right dog trainer –
Should I go for group or private training? Each comes with pros and cons – those with a brand new dog can expect their pet to socialise and start to develop relationships with other dogs.
Does my dog need generalised training or would training in a specific area suit it better? One example of this is if your dog has an issue with barking, or separation anxiety. In these cases, someone that can specialise in tackling these issues would be optimal.
Do I need long-term training or do I need a quick fix? Goals such as conditioning your dog for agility or developing a routine will need more time with a trainer.
You should also take care to see what type of strategies your trainer uses. There are a wide variety of techniques that can be applied in order to change your dog’s behaviour – but not all of these involve kindness and care. It’s good to talk to prospective trainers about the ways in which they choose to teach your dog, including methods of both discipline and praise. Techniques such as positive reinforcement are very beneficial for dogs and are particularly powerful, while being enjoyable for them.
While your dog is your priority, how you communicate with your trainer is important too. Your trainer’s should be able to translate their understanding into constructive advice. A good trainer can tell you both what is working in terms of training your dog, and what isn’t. This includes passing on insights of what to do to correct certain issues, while conveying these ideas in a constructive, friendly way. In order to do this, a trainer needs to not only be able to express themselves clearly, but also be diplomatic and observant.
How much does a Dog Trainer cost?
There are various ways in which you can choose to train your dog. Some owners opt for private lessons, while others will put their dog through group daycare.
Group sessions are valuable not only because they are more budget friendly, but also because they are better as a long-term option. This is because your pet will have time to get to grips with a wider variety of commands. However one-on-one training provides your dog with lessons that are specially tailored to their needs, helping them learn in the best way for them.
There are also the various levels of obedience training to take into account. As well as classes specifically for puppies, there are basic educational classes, adult training, agility and advanced tutoring. Which of these you go for can affect pricing, as well as how quickly your dog learns (depending on its needs and comprehension).
Can I hire a Dog Trainer online?
Yes! You might be surprised to hear that dog training can be done remotely, through online video platforms like Zoom. They can take the form of group sessions or one-to-one classes to tackle certain individual behavioural issues. Many customers prefer online dog training for all sorts of reasons, like saving on travel time and costs.
