Roy was and is amazing. He trained us as well as Digby the dog. After one session I felt comfortable to let Digby off the lead - a 6 month old Bearded Collie. The training Roy gave us provided the confidence to do so. “With Me” was a magical moment for myself and Digby. Cannot recommend him high enough.

We’ve had a brilliant training experience with Majed, he’s like a dog whisperer and had our 7 months old golden retriever under his spell in minutes! In 3 sessions, we learnt some useful principles that were applicable to different situations, and we managed to redress some problematic behaviours - like his barking at 5am and his charging at the cat! We’ll be booking more sessions to reinforce our learning - and our dog’s! Thanks Majed 👍

I’ve been using Emma’s dog walking and dog sitting services for over a year ever since my little dachshund was a puppy and I couldn’t be happier with her professionalism, friendliness, flexibility and absolute dedication to providing excellent care to my pup. Emma sends updates (including videos of what the pups are up to) throughout the day which I’ve always appreciated, and upped the updates when I was on holidays for 3 weeks away from my pooch. Honestly, my pup gets so excited (I often think more excited than when she sees me) to see Emma in the mornings - that says it all! Emma - thank you so much for looking after Peanut as if she was your own!

Our Great Dane, Fiona is being walked by Adrienn on the weekdays whilst we are at work. Even though Fiona is well behaved, most dog walkers were refusing to take her due to her size but Adrienn was happy to take her on board and looks after her very well. She is also helping us with training advice which is a great bonus.

I can't recommend Lily enough; I got my first dog at the start of the year, an adorable but stubborn French bulldog puppy called Winston, and she has transformed his behaviour. He had many phobias and difficulty with other dogs but he is now a calm, happy dog who is a joy to walk, snuggle, and play with. I noticed the difference in his quality of life (and mine!) almost immediately. We still see Lily and her support is very much ongoing; she will always have time for you and go above and beyond. Thank you!

Andrea was amazing and helped us with our 4 month old Westie puppy Max, who was extremely naughty, hyperactive and disobedient. After previously owning a Westie and him passing away 4 years ago, we finally decided to get another dog and thought another westie would be the perfect choice as we knew the breed so well, especially with two young children it was so important that we knew what to except!!! Unfortunately Max was completely different to what our old Westie was like and we were shocked with the difference in behaviour when we got Max. Max barked uncontrollably and would constantly bite our feet and want our attention. That’s when we got in touch with good dog. After Andrea came to see Max, only after her second visit and following all her advice, Max was like a completely different dog and I can not believe the change in him. I’ve had dogs all my life and thought I would never need a trainer to help me but Max was not what I expected and thanks to Andrea he now follows our instructions and is the loveliest affectionate dog and although we have trained him hard it’s not taken away his lovely character and personality. Couldn’t recommend good dog enough

My two rescue dogs are responding well to the calm and un hurried approach of being able to take things at their own pace. They appear to enjoy the enrichment sessions and are forming a bond with Jessie which is lovely to see. Thoroughly recommend her quiet, relaxed way of dealing with anxious dogs putting them at ease.

Jude Haywood
I contacted Nikki as was at a loss how to proceed with my seemingly uncontrollable puppy. I had consulted a couple of trainers and a behaviourist previously and had got nowhere. I was ready to let my puppy be rehomed. Nikki immediately got to the bottom of what was happening with me and my naughty but nice pup. Initially we completely changed my dog's diet from kibble to raw meaty bones; the effect of this was quite outstanding. After addressing diet and nutrition, Nikki did a behaviour assessment and got to work improving the emotional bond between my pup and me. Since then Nikki has been on hand with help and advice whenever needed and has introduced us to bioresonance and also NaturalPet Vitality supplement. Nikki is passionate about her work and dedicated to making life better for all the dogs she sees. I have learned so much through her gentle guidance and holistic approach, so much so that I now have n amazing bond with my beautiful, matured and well balanced puppy . I can't recommend Nikki enough.

so cats are standoffish and get all picky about who they love. dogs - not so much - they love you unconditionally in a happy slobbery way. so we got a dog.
BUT its just a little bit galling to discover that our dog clearly loves matt and his team a tinsy bit more than us when it comes to walk time. And i can see why - pack runs, muddy puddles, great friends - but honestly, can he not hide it a bit?
aside from the jealousy it can only be 5 stars for city paws club - great people who really love the dogs - and total commitment to giving the dogs the best experience - and a cool car.

I am incredibly passionate about my work as I simply love to solve problems by providing easy to implement natural solutions. I love to see the whole life transformation which my clients and dogs go through during my time mentoring them.
I love to help save dogs lives, save them from ending up in rescue or having to be sent to an early grave because the right information was never presented to them.
I love to help put folk on the right track and guide them fully until they achieve their goals and dreams.
I also love to train and mentor students who wish to set up theyr own animal care business and have created a very unique training program to teach you how to do that.
I just love my work as it gives me the opportunity to be able to fully use the skills and talents I was born with and have acquired along the way.
I was born to be an entrepreneur and first attempted self employment when I was just 18 and set up several self employed projects along the way which all gave me valuable business experience.
The thing that inspired me to start Canine Angel was the animals themselves. As a gifted animal communicator I had the advantage of knowing how to listen to the animals to learn about what it is they require from us humans in today’s somewhat damaged world. They shared all their secrets with me and asked that I would dedicate my life work to helping their messages to be heard and listened to and more importantly acted upon.
We have done a great disservice to animals with our consumer driven world and they are deeply disturbed about the damage we have done to our planet. They want to help us though and they want to do that by helping us rebalance and take lessons and medicine from our dear Mother Nature. For when we do listen to them and act upon theyr advice .. everything comes back into balance and harmony.
I was put here to work on this mission and have been totally guided and inspired along the way to follow my heart and do what gives me the most joy.
Canine’s are Angels, sent to help serve us, guide us and help us grow.. they are also sent to us to teach us the greatest lesson of all .. unconditional love :)
Before contacting me many of my clients have stayed they felt that they have wasted a lot of money time and heartache receiving incorrect diagnosis or information which has led them down a dangerous and costly path.
I’d be safe to say that my clients have said to me that they wish they had found me sooner.
I would urge any potential client to really take some time to see what I offer as it’s pretty unique and goes much deeper than standard dog training.
Whilst dog training has its place as a fun activity, getting your dog to behave in a certain manner for a reward or treat is pretty much easy enough for anyone to do if they have the time and patience.
My training and mentoring programs will teach and inspire you with ideas you have never even contemplated. It will educate you deeply on what our canines want from us and how to provide theyr needs exactly so they feel happy and secure in your care.
My programs are life changing and self confidence boosting.. I will help you break unwanted patterns of distructive thoughts and behaviours and help you find the inner strong leader your dog requires from you.
The training you undergo will have a hugely positive impact on all your relationships in life and help you manage difficult emotions such as fear and frustration.
I’m not the cheapest option but cheap is not always best and can actually cost you far more down the line.
All my clients who have invested money with me have reported that the training they received has paid huge dividens in the long run as it has saved them vast amounts of money on their yearly pet care bills. Most of them say that they couldn’t put a price on the happiness they feel when they learn exactly what their animal requires from them.
I work with you until the problem is solved and then there after if you still need support.
I will always be the expert on hand that you can turn to for accurate help support and advice all the way right throughout your animals life and beyond as I help folk with pet bereavement as well.
At the end of the day though, working together is a two way relationship and it’s just as important I can resonate with you as much as you can with me. I’ll be working with you for a good few weeks or months so it’s important we get to know each other first before investing any Real time or money. I set up the assessment session for this purpose .. so you can try before you buy and I can see if I feel I’m the right person to help you. I will be totally honest and refer you on if I feel we are not a match.
The 60 min assessment session is £65 and is held over telephone and Skype.
I will spend the necessary time to delve deeply into the issues you need help with and provide answers to your most burning questions.
At the end of the session I will offer to devise and create a bespoke training program plan for your requirements and a written quotation for the work and services which will be required.
If you do accept the quotation I will minus your assessment fee and offer an extra early bird discount for quick response bookings so already I can offer you savings as you take steps towards your desire for a healthy happy balanced relationship where you feel super confident at knowing your stuff when it comes to dogs and what they really need!
If you would like to request a training program brochure so you can learn more about what’s involved in my training programs then please email me through my website www.canineangel.co.uk
And I’ll email one out to you.
And if all you have is the 60 minute assessment session, I’ll promise you you will take away valuable new information which will open your mind to a different perpspective to solving the issues you face.
Contact me today, make the leap, you only have something to gain if you do :)
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.
