From the first time I contacted Glyn I have had much more confidence with my dog.
Ash is a 7 months old German Shepherd dog who was really doing his own thing i.e. taking me for a walk, pulling on the lead, barking and lunging at other dogs and generally being a nuisance.
After only 4 meetings I can now walk Ash daily and it is now a pleasure.
Glyn has shown me that it is me who needs training more than than Ash.
I would recommend Glyn to anyone he has changed my dogs behaviour like magic.
Ash loves Glyn and responds positively to every meeting.
Until I contacted Glyn I was seriously thinking I would have to re-home Ash as I couldn't cope with him. I now believe we can both have a happy future.
Thanks Glyn I couldn't have got this far with out you.

Paula and her lovely Mum Sue have helped me get 3 of my dogs through their Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Awards, and one through her silver. I have also boarded dogs with Paula and they've been looked after extremely well. And she also runs an excellent dog walking service where dogs come back content and well exercised. I have always loved Paula's classes, and am only sorry that I have not done this review earlier. It takes a special type of trainer to have the patience and open mindedness to teach a blind person such as myself, so I applaud Paula for this, as many trainers would just say no or put you off.

Laura is completely fabulous, her understanding of behaviour is second to none and her ability to not only bond with your dog but you as well is incredible. She has a natural ability to make both you and your dog feel completely at ease and her passion for what she does shows every time you have a consult with her. I would recommend her to everyone. She has helped my dog vinnie overcome his anxiety whilst out on a walk and his behaviour of chewing through leads in a kind and positive way and has helped us to communicate better and understand eachother better. She's just fabulous!

We specialise in dog behavioural and obedience training, focusing on the problem at need from separation anxiety all the way to excessive aggression. We make the training sessions fun but most importantly informative for you guys as ultimately if you cannot replicate what I have put in place in the session then it has not been helpful. Whatever the problem there is always a solution.
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.
