What was the greatest benefit you got from this course?“

Having some control over a loopy dog!  I would never have coped as a first time dog owner without your help and advice”

Lynette & Poppy the English Pointer 

“A better behaved dog”

Lisa & Milo the cross breed 

"I read many books before deciding to get a puppy, but the information given in class was very clear, made sense and gives more insight into how a dog reacts to the pack leader.  I now have confidence to let Poppy off lead when out and to let her play with other dogs".

Tricia & Poppy the Westie

“Looking at things from a dogs point of view – I understand why she behaves as she does now!”

Gillie & Ronnie the cross breed

Other comments

“I have seen nothing but progress in my dog.  He was very timid with people and aggressive to other dogs.  He came to us at 18mnths old with an unknown history.  Working with the clicker has made him focus and made me see training in a whole new way.  He can now be handled by many people and can be in the class for an hour in close proximity to other dogs, without trying to take on all comers.”

Gina & Woozle the miniature wire haired daschund

"The level of instruction we received was at a high standard.  We are all made to feel of value and positive feedback is always given"

Ashley & Madge the working labrador

"The staff are very approachable and we always felt able to ask questions"

Leah & Bonnie the lab x

 “I have really enjoyed this course and am very pleased with the results.  Much better than I originally thought it would be!”

Becki & Abbey the cocker spaniel

Nervous Dogs

"I have a nervous little collie bitch, conventionally trained to the Kennel Club Gold Standard.  We didn’t continue with the classes however as it was obvious that she just wasn’t enjoying her time there.  

I came across Dogs Naturally purely by chance and we went to several classes as observers.  I was very impressed by the efforts of all involved to make sure my collie felt comfortable and happy in the class environment before beginning any of the courses. 

The change in her has been dramatic – she rushes into the hall, ears up, alert, happy – a totally different dog from the one who accompanied me to the initial session.  She’s also far happier with strangers whereas she would not go near one previously.    

For the first time, someone is explaining to me why my dog reacts in the way she does, and the best way to solve any problem behaviour.  All of the advice and tips given on dog related topics ranging from diet to control of fleas and the traumas of Bonfire Night have been extremely useful.   

We both enjoy our time there, and I shall definitely continue with the courses."
