I first met Karen, proprietor of Beastly Thoughts, 7 years ago. I had a very nervous collie with behavioural issues. It took a long time but Karen's training technique, her patience, dedication and professionalism paid off. Seren went on to enter numerous dog shows, winning many rosettes. She did agility and sheepdog training. Tragically Seren died recently aged only 8 due to lymphoma. I am heartbroken but grateful for the 8 happy years I had with her. I will always be indebted to Karen for all her help. More...

We are currently doing the companion dog course and just enjoyed the doggie social at Trevor. An amazing experience and I have learnt so much already, though I am clearly not as bright as Bradley but a work in progress.

I can't recommend Karen enough, she is amazing, puppy school at Llandrinio was amazing! Karen is always on hand to help out with any problems or concerns we had, especially as out little puppy (Ozzie) was having some stomach issues but Karen's advice help so much!

Beastly thoughts is the only dog trainer I would recommend Karen's gentle nature and idiot guide explanations of the dogs thoughts make understanding your dog so obvious and life-changing

puppy social was very beneficial for my sproodle Gracie, she is able to make friends with other dogs, which we witnessed when meeting a lady with a young springer in the woods at Corwen recently. It was lovely to see them chasing and rolling around. Gracie has also learned when to stay away from other dogs when they don't want to play. More...

I have a 6 month old Labrador with so much energy and excitement that it's hard to get her off lead with other dogs to socialise because she's so friendly and still hasn't grasped that she doesn't need to jump on you to say hello so the puppy classes were great. She could be let off lead to play with other puppies of all shapes and sizes in a controlled environment where we were able to intervene if needed. There was so much support and advice and there are also often children in the classes too so it makes it really helpful to let your puppy meet children in a safe place if you don't know many children to introduce them to. Every Friday I'd have one very excited dog dragging me into puppy school. She even managed to learn some manners between all that fun she had! More...

I have used Beastly Thoughts for individual course days and puppy classes and I thoroughly recommend them to achieve results. I have met lots of dog trainers through my work as a veterinary nurse and practice manager. Very few have the same level of understanding, empathy and practical skill as Karen. She really cares about the dogs she works with and strives to help their owners bring out the very best in their pets. More...

Karen, Jan & Glynis have always looked after us and Oscar well. We've been going since he was a pup and he is now a very well rounded dog. He loves to go to "training" and enjoys it so much sharing the experience with his Mum & Dad. He also likes to show off and please Karen who he loves to bits. Thank you guys. More...
