I was so relieved to have found Jo @ Pippin Pet Services, having visited a few dog boarders I immediately knew our Cockapoo Rita will love her holiday with Jo. Her own dog Reba and another boarder got on amazingly well and Jo's set up was perfect and safe for the dogs. A true home from home. I could see that she knew what she was doing, was well organised and her passion for animals was clear. Rita had an amazing time while we were on holiday, we will definitely use you again Jo, will bring Rita for day care too before she misses you and Reba too much:-)

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.

Teddy came to us from Spain as a rescue dog. He was very defensive and aggressive with other dogs and this was causing huge anxiety for both him and me when we were out. I asked Luke to help me and after just three one to one sessions and lots of work in between Teddy is a completely different dog. Luke gave both of us the tools and confidence we needed. Teddy now walks off the lead (off road) and enjoys interacting with other dogs. His recall is spot on and he is focussed on me all the time. He is a joy to have around and absolutely loves life now. I would recommend Luke without hesitation. Without his help I doubt that Teddy would be with us today. Thank you Luke.

Luna is a very active 20 month bracco that needs mental stimulation and of course training, she's very intelligent, but also can shut down very quick, I definitely recommend Julie, she is calm and can quiet and watches your furry friend to gauge what they are like before the first training session starts.. Luna loved Julie the moment she walked in the door, for me that's a great start, myself and my son loved working (myself sitting) with Julie, and can't wait for our next session! We are looking forward to having a well behaved highly trained best friend that will surprise my daughter next time she visits..
Julie is great highly recommended.! By myself and of course luna

Thank you Nikki for helping us get Baxter to be the well behaved pup he was pretending not to want to be 8 weeks ago. The common sense approach, concentrating on what was important to us and how we want to live with Baxter made the classes a pleasure to attend, and we both now feel that we have the foundations to build upon and to most importantly enjoy having him in our lives. All our friends and family can't believe how much he has learnt during the few short weeks and we now have the continuing work to do, but feel well prepared and able to do so. Please offer stage two!

If you're looking for the best dog trainer in this area - in my opinion, if you're reading this review then you've found him. I now have the dream dog that I honestly didn't think was possible a few months ago. BUT - you have to stick with what Martin says - it's not just a "one lesson" quick fix. AND - don't expect him to come in and immediately "goo" over how gorgeous your dog is - why? - well, you'll find out if you work with Martin. But don't worry, plenty of cuddles with your dog IS part of the training :)

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.
