Find a Dog Trainer in Dorset

Finally I have found a behaviourist that has actually helped in my quest to give my 4yr old Standard Poodle a stress free life. Kaspar was extremely lead reactive and found it difficult to go out anywhere without constantly fixating on other dogs, he would always scan the area looking for them, not enjoying his walks or taking any notice of me. This was made worse by inconsiderate individuals just letting their uncontrolled dogs of lead to roam and run up into Kaspar’s space, and because they have no control and couldn’t recall their dog it would end badly. After spending ££££ with other trainers/behaviourist I saw Will on his website, thank goodness I did as he is completely different in his approach, he reads and assesses the dog’s state and explains each movement of the dogs body language. He is also the only one that took the lead and walked with Kaspar. Kaspar was one of his more difficult dogs and we worked with different methods but finally we used the e collar. No it’s not a quick fix as some anti e collar positive only trainers would have you believe, it is a tool to use safely in the hands of an expert that gets the focus back. I travelled 150 miles each way for 2 initial sessions and as I needed more stayed in the area, while we were working for short sessions over 4 days. Will was at all times aware of Kaspar’s needs and gave breaks from training as necessary. With Will’s expert guidance Kaspar is a different dog! He is more relaxed and a lot less edgy of the environment. As I said e collars are not a quick fix and the work is on going with Kaspar, but now I have his focus to be able to guide and make him feel safe amongst other dogs. Thank you Will.

I had an exceptional experience with Tunde and T Diamond Ltd's cat day care and walking service. Tunde took care of my two kittens, one of whom required extra attention and daily medication. Tunde's professionalism and genuine love for cats were immediately evident. He went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of my furry companions. The daily medication was administered flawlessly, and he took the time to provide personalized care and attention to both of my kittens. Furthermore, Tunde's communication was outstanding. I received regular updates and photos of my cats during their day care sessions, which provided me with peace of mind. I couldn't be happier with the level of care and dedication Tunde provided to my kittens. It's clear that he is passionate about his work and genuinely cares for the animals he looks after. I highly recommend T Diamond Ltd's cat day care and walking service to any pet owner seeking top-notch care for their beloved feline friends. Thank you, Tunde, for your exceptional service!

This is the second time Dobby and I have had a 1-2-1 with Anita. We have learnt so much both times and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is very knowledgeable and is able to sort out all our issues.

What can I say about Karen Harvey and her Dogma Dog School!! This Canine Connoisseur was highly recommended to us about 18mths ago by a neighbour. We had just become proud owners of then 4yr old Arnold, a Springer Spaniel Cross, who we got from a Margaret Green Rescue Centre (Also Recommended) Although full of beans, having come from a rescue centre, there were one or two issues that needed addressing, so we called on Karen's services. We then had a 2hr session with her. It was during this time that I knew we weren't barking up the wrong tree with Karen, because when she asked Arnold to sit, my wife sat down as well!!!! It was then I knew how good she was! During the session also, she was able to establish that the way Arnold reacted to certain things, that he had a degree of training before. One of the main things that she tried to instil into us, were things that we could do to help ourselves with Arnold, in respect that it didn't get to the point where we'd lost his respect and that he started owning us! Rather than the other way around!! 18mths on, we still regularly use Karen's services, whether it be dog walking or boarding. We have no hesitation in leaving Arnold with her as when we go away, because we know that he's going to be well looked after and loved as if he was one of her own. So, to sum up, if you're looking for a reliable, inexpensive, Bone A Fido, place for your Pooch, or any canine issues, then I can't recommend Dogma Dog School more highly!!! As for Karen? She's the Mutt's Nut's!!!

We enrolled our puppy in Jess’ group classes and also had a 1:1 session. Classes were fun for Lexi and informative for us. The additional support from the Facebook group and puppy booklet that Jess gave us were really appreciated.

Extremely helpful and very professional. It's about training the dog as well as teaching the owner consistence and patience. Fast progress and great results can be seen really quickly.

Very knowledgeable people they helped me a great deal, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them,

Marcelle is an amazing dog trainer. My Jack Russell was not good with other dogs but after the training course she is now a different dog and will play and interact with other dogs. Marcelle will continue to give training for as long as it takes to correct your dogs behaviour with the one off payment unlike other trainers that only give you a set amount of sessions. I cannot recommend Marcelle enough and I was very lucky to find her.

Go Puppy Fun Training.Before another day goes by I must tell you how brilliant Hazel is at puppy training (for want of a better word). So calm and understanding she really is training you to teach your puppy and it makes so much sense. Thank you Hazel I can really enjoy my puppy.

We recently called Marcelle into our home to help us with our 20 month old French Bulldog Wilson who unfortunately had become a bit of a handful & thought that he was the boss. He would regularly grow & lunge himself at other dogs whilst on the lead but off lead he was absolutely fine. Marcelle taught us that if we didn't take control now he would become a dangerous dog for others to be around, we knew as soon as we heard that we had to start making changes to not only Wilsons life but ours aswell. We got to work straight away, changing his food to a raw diet and making rules and boundaries for him to follow. I cannot even explain the THANKS we give to Marcelle for her tips, ideas & excellent knowledge and training of our dog because with out her we wouldn't of been able to achieve what we have only 2 WEEKS down the line. We have a calm & in control dog who I am now not scared to take back out with me. After seeing another local dog trainer & it being horrendous and resulting in tears & a scared dog Marcelle completely changed my views on what a "dog trainer" is. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends & family who are having problems with her dog not only does she offer great support on the day but I have continual contact with Marcelle even after the training session to find out how we are getting on and to remind me we are doing a great job with Wilson. Thanks again Marcelle for your friendly & professional approaching to not just me & Aaron but to Wilson aswell! You are amazing!!!
