I have had 5 sessions with Adelaide so far, due to have another 3 soon. I 1000000% recommend The Confident K9! Xena my nervous GSD has already made massive improvements in such a short time. She is a lot more confident and getting less and less reactive. I have worked with several other trainers in the past and I wish I came to Adelaide from the beginning! She is very knowledgeable, supportive both in person and over WhatsApp! 10/10! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much for the ongoing support!
We had some amazing sessions with Adelaide for our anxious rescue dog who seemed to be bored most of the day but wouldn't interact with any toys/activities. Adelaide taught us how to incorporate free work, movement, and scent work with our girl, and we are surprised how much progress was made after just one session! Thanks to Adelaide, we have learnt the tools to increase our dogs' confidence in the home, make meal and treat times more stimulating, and increasing problem-solving skills. This confidence at home has already been translating to confidence outside of the home and we are so impressed! Thank you so much Adelaide!
We had 10 sessions with Adelaide for our 2 year golden retriever. Luna is a very anxious dog and gets very scared in many situations. With Adelaide's help we have greatly reduced Luna's anxiety and can now do many things with her we couldn't before. Luna has loved her sessions with Adelaide and we absolutely recommend her for any of your dogs behavioral needs. Thank you ☺️
Adelaide is very personable and reads dogs and people well. She quickly helped us understand our WCS’s aggression/reactivity towards GSD’s (and bringing her living experience of both breeds). The sessions were amazing and provided refreshers and new tools to apply and we have quickly seen a positive difference already. I highly recommend.
Can’t recommend Adelaide enough. Her direction and explanation are easy to understand and we learnt a lot from our training 😊

Great reliable and excellent service. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend bringing your pets down for any Grooming was extremely satisfied and happy with the service I was provided with. I will definitely be coming back again and as you can see from the photos attached my dog is one happy customer thank you very much to everyone at furry fades. 🐾🐾
My cavapoo had his first groom with Gemma today which was overdue! Gemma did an amazing job, he looks & smells insane. The salon is super welcoming and clean and Gemma is lovely. Best groom he’s had. Thanks so much❤️.
Excellent and friendly service. Our Puppy loves his time at Fury Fades.
I cannot recommend Furry Fades enough! My cockerpoo Olive usually gets extremely anxious at the groomers, to the point where I’ve been doing her grooms at home (very badly!) for the past year just to avoid the stress. But from the moment we walked into Furry Fades, Olive was relaxed, wagging her tail, and showed no signs of her usual anxiety – which is honestly a first. The team were so calm and gentle with her, and you can really tell they care about the dogs they work with. On top of that, they gave her the best groom she’s ever had – she looked (and smelled!) amazing. We’re so happy to have found somewhere she feels comfortable, and we’ll definitely be regulars from now on. Thank you, Furry Fades, for taking such good care of Olive! 🫒
So today I had an SOS groom at Furry Fades Dog Services. Not taken really short and no fuss at all. My cockapoo was squeezed in for 9.30 the following day just to help out in a bad situation. What an absolute star. Thank you very, very much. Excellent groomers. Yesterday, my cockapoo had a long, scruffy coat which was matted and well overdue a groom. He went to a local groomer before this that started trimming his coat short and after two swipes of his coat she decided she couldn't finish it because it would blunten her blades! He was left a real state and not even a quarter done. I am so grateful that Gemma was so helpful and squeezed him in so quicky. Obviously truly cares and happy to help. She also freely offered help and advice and was not at all pushy. Very professional. Be careful who you trust to do their job. Not everyone is of the same standards. Boris can see out again and is much cooler and happier. He is back to posh paws again thanks to Gemma and her team at Furry Fades! 🥰💕🤩

The dogs and I absolutely love coming for our lessons. They’re always so much fun and tailored to suit your dog and how they learn best. We always get so much out of our lessons, and look forward to the next one as soon as we leave
Ollie has been absolutely fantastic with my dog who is a thug. Ollie has seen the best in Pablo and takes a cool, calm no drama attitude towards Pablo’s excessive barking and lunging, as an owner this eases the embarrassment and anxiety .. He has helped teach a technique to stop Pablo’s excessive barking proving to be successful out and about.. Myself and Pablo are growing a stronger bond by learning agility and having heaps of fun with it! We are so glad we found Insight dogs

Friendly, knowledgeable and hugely experienced!
We took our dog to puppy classes and have learnt sooo much. We would recommend Bark to anyone. Zoe was always a text away if we had questions outside of the weekly classes too which was brilliant.
An establishment where mutts are taught to bark
Our dog has just completed the puppy class from which we have both learned a great deal. Excellent class and very good for puppy socialisation. Thank you Zoe.

Excellent with my dogs! They get so excited when they hear the car pull up 🥰 Very reliable and friendly 👍 Highly recommended from me and the doggies 🐕 🐕
Stacey is so great with Whiskey who absolutely loves going on his walks with her. He gets so much out of it and Stacey always communicates so well with us including pictures and videos of him having the best time!
Very friendly service, and our dog appears to love it, in the way he greets the walker when picking him up from the house, and how he looks in the videos that are sent after each walk.
Amazing personal service from Stacey... fun, energetic and varied walks. My dog loves her .
Stacey is great with our dog, happy to be flexible and good value for money. Would definitely recommend her!
Finding skilled dog trainers in Barbourne means connecting with professionals who understand the unique character of this charming Worcester neighbourhood. From training energetic puppies in the green spaces near Perdiswell Park to managing reactive dogs along the quiet residential streets of Northwick, our certified trainers deliver personalised obedience programmes, behaviour modification, and puppy socialisation tailored to Barbourne's community-focused environment.
Serving the entire Barbourne area including WR1 and WR3 postcodes, we've successfully trained over 850 dogs across Worcester in the past eight years, with particular expertise addressing the needs of this pleasant suburb where tree-lined avenues meet excellent walking routes and family-friendly parks.
Barbourne presents distinct training opportunities shaped by its mix of Victorian terraces, semi-detached properties, and proximity to Worcester's excellent green spaces. The area's access to Perdiswell Park, Gheluvelt Park, and the River Severn towpath provides superb training environments, but also means dogs regularly encounter other canines, cyclists, and joggers, making solid recall and lead manners essential for enjoyable walks.
Our trainers specialise in preparing dogs for Barbourne's suburban lifestyle, including navigating busy Droitwich Road, remaining calm during school run times near local primary schools, and developing confidence around the diverse community activities throughout the neighbourhood. We understand that many Barbourne residents value well-mannered dogs capable of enjoying local cafés, visiting Barbourne's shops, and participating in the area's friendly, community-oriented atmosphere.
We provide comprehensive dog training throughout Barbourne, covering all residential areas from Northwick Road to Ombersley Road, and from Perdiswell to the streets surrounding Worcester City Football Club's ground. Our trainers regularly work near local landmarks including St Stephen's Church, Barbourne Brook, and throughout the popular walking routes at Perdiswell Park, using these familiar locations for practical, real-world training sessions that directly benefit your daily routine.
Our puppy programmes focus on the critical 8-16 week socialisation period, introducing young dogs to Barbourne's suburban environment including garden boundaries, neighbourhood sounds, and local park etiquette. Training covers house training, crate training, basic commands, and controlled socialisation at locations like Perdiswell Park, building confidence that prevents future behavioural issues.
We address leash reactivity, fear-based responses, and barrier frustration through positive reinforcement and systematic desensitisation. Progressive training on Barbourne's quieter streets and gradual exposure in busier areas helps dogs develop calm responses to triggers, replacing unwanted behaviours with focus and self-control.
For dogs ready to progress, our advanced programmes develop reliable off-lead control essential for safely enjoying Perdiswell Park and riverside walks. We build bombproof recall despite distractions, ensuring owners can provide proper exercise with complete confidence in their dog's responsiveness.
Dog training in Barbourne typically ranges from £35-65 per hour for private sessions, with 6-week packages averaging £220-420. Group classes cost £10-18 per session, offering excellent value for basic obedience training in a social environment.
Begin training immediately when bringing your puppy home at 8 weeks old. The critical socialisation window between 8-16 weeks makes early exposure to Barbourne's environment essential for developing a confident, well-adjusted dog.
