From the very first meeting I knew Helen was the right person to walk my big loony Leo, he absolutely adores her and I'm 110% confident in her abilities with him.. After every walk Leo comes back with the biggest smile and then sleeps lol.. After his walk Helen sends a map of where they have walked along with lovely photos and videos.. I really can't praise Helen enough and would advise anyone wanting dog walking services to give her a call 🐶

Best puppy classes yet! We took Sadie for puppy socialisation having been to a few over the years I can honestly say this was by far the most fun. Nothing was repeated and every week was full of fun ideas that we will be playing with the older dogs as well as our young pup. Needless to say we now have not 1 but 3 calm, focused dogs! Thank you Nikki!

WHAT A GENIUS!
My puppy just needed some training with pulling and following commands and 15 minutes into the session it was like a different puppy. Luna was comfortable with Teresa within a short time and I also felt at ease with her. The training was as much for me as it was for my puppy and she made me feel confident in what I was doing. She’s such a lovely person and brilliant at what she does. HIGHLY recommend :-)

We asked Claire to look after our two cats last year when we went on holiday to Egypt. It was the first time we left the cats for more than a weekend so we were anxious to find the right person for the job. From the moment we met Claire were instantly reassured by her warm, friendly and caring personality. For no extra charge she came to meet us and the cats to discuss their individual needs and also offered to water the plants! During our holiday it was nice to get regular messages reassuring us that the cats were ok. As an extra bonus it was great to know that our flat was kept a close eye on while we were away.We will definitely use Claire for our cat sitting in the future.As any pet owner will appreciate, knowing you can rely on someone to care for your pet to your standard while you are away is priceless!

We brought our puppy, Nelly to Jacob at Yorkshire Canine Academy at 14 weeks old. As a border collie she is a very energetic and all our training and tips have been specific to our dog/ breed, not just generic information. Jacob has a wealth of knowledge and has given great advice at each of our sessions to deal with any problem that has arisen with Nelly which is really shaping her behaviour and turning her into a very happy and well behaved dog. Outside of the 1-2-1 sessions Jacob is always available at the end of the phone even for the most ridiculous of questions! I can’t recommend Yorkshire Canine Academy enough as they have made the first few months of puppy ownership much easier and made us feel confident that we are doing the best for Nelly! Thanks very much!

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.
