Had a really good session with Jon for Ted's issues with bins and neighbours dogs. Jon was very thorough, explained things clearly and, although it's going to take some hard work, I feel I now have the tools to make good progress. His techniques are kind, and aim to get to the root of the issue rather than quick temporary fixes - just what I want to make a genuinely happy dog.
Had a session with Jon for our dog, who has been struggling with visitors coming around. Jon was fantastic at describing and demonstrating a variety of different techniques suited to our dogs needs and preferences using only positive reenforcement and attention breaks. Within that one session the change in behaviour was obvious and we have been able to calm him down ourselves with the application of what we've been taught. We also have access to a lot of post-session support (which is great because Jon is a lovely man and nice to talk to). Very pleased and would highly recommend!
We never thought we’d be able to open our door without having a Weimaraner bark and jump at the door. Having Jon round today has proven us wrong. Jon is an incredible trainer with such knowledge and passion in his work. He shows a genuine interest in his clients though his pleasant and kind nature. Highly recommended to anyone who is struggling with heir dog. Thanks Jon you’ve given us a fresh start 😊
Jon came to my house to help me with my Dog attention barking and barking in the garden excessively. Jon’s knowledge was next to none! I saw a huge difference in Rumble within 2 hours of training. Jon was super patient and explained the knowledge behind everything he was teaching us.
Would recommend Jon, Canine Assist. I had 30 minutes discussion and was able to arrange a training session. Very happy with Jon’s approach to training. He quickly understood my dogs behaviour and the best way to encourage good behaviour. We are working through a training programme which is already seeing improvements.

I contacted Gem regarding our two year old daschund Charlie regarding anxiousness on walks and in the house and reactivity to spaces in particular. The moment Gem stepped into our house, she was calm with Charlie and gave him treats to encourage positive reinforcement. She really helped us with strategies to prevent excessive barking on both walks and in the house and recommended certain products that would help increase mental stimulation for Charlie. I would definitely recommend Gem as a dog trainer to anyone who is looking for reassurance or help on basic or behavioural training
Gemma is absolutely amazing! We started with her for our Staffy for some basic training and behaviour work and we saw progress even after just a few sessions. Gemma recognised the potential in our Staffy and she is now being trained as a Therapy Dog, which has not only helped her behaviour but will help other people too. I don’t have a bad word to say about Gemma. She is incredible!
Gemma has been amazing and helped me with my 5 month old Boerboel teaching him manners and showed me ways of keeping him mentally stimulated I never even knew I would highly recommend her as she is positive down to earth and truly wants the best for you and your dog can tell she dose it from a place of love for animals
Gemma is always on hand to support with me and my partners dog. She is knowledgeable, patient and clear. Nothing is too much for her and she has been a great help in getting our dog to be the perfect little family member
Gem has been so helpful with our whippet Humphrey! We asked Gem to come and work with us as Humphrey is quite anxious and was starting to become quite reactive around other dogs. She came to do an assessment of his behaviour, giving us some things to work on. Then Gem came back to observe his behaviour on a walk and gave some really helpful advice and strategies for managing his reactivity. Since working with Gem we have noticed a positive difference in Humphrey’s behaviour. It is clear how much Gem understands dogs and I would recommend her to anyone looking for some help with their furry friends! Thanks Gem :)

We heard about Kristian through acquaintances that we do group walks with. And we are glad we used him. Our dog Grace had a few issues, but it was illuminating to discover that most of this was really down to poor leadership on our part. Moat dog trainers will do some.obedience or similar work with your dog, hand it back and call it a day. Kristian tells you what to do, demonstrates, and then gets YOU to do it. He also set us homework which was great as it means we have to practice what we have learned. As a result of our sessions with Kristian, our dog Grace now reliably heel walks (and chooses to do this more often than not) has massively reduced reactivity to other dogs and people, never hordes her toys (specifically, will give up a toy on demand) and doesn't lunge for her toys either. She's also gained confidence with the obstacles course, and has learned to jump onto and stay on a pedestal, and crawl. Tricks, for sure, but fun. We've built Grace up to the point where we can go to a retail park that she's never been to before, very busy, and she will stay relaxed and obedient, even if one of us goes into a shop and she is outside. The individual sessions are very well calibrated and Grace has left each session just at the point where she can't learn any more. One really good thing about these sessions is that they are not strictly time limited. They vary based on the dog. This also applies to the group sessions, which we were a bit nervous about given our dogs past reactivity, but she absolutely loved the group work.
Highly Recommend! I can’t say enough good things about this dog trainer! The difference in my dog behavior has been incredible! He it's so patient, professional, and really knew how to connect with him. Toby absolutely loves the sessions, and I was blown away by how quickly he picked things up. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and loves working with dogs, this is your guy. Highly, highly recommend!
Kristzian was recommended to me. I needed help with my young lurcher, Zack. We're not there yet but wouldn't have progressed this far without Kristzian's invaluable help.
Feedback on Dog Trainer – Krisztian (DOG-TOR Nottingham) Krisztian is an exceptional dog trainer who demonstrates a natural and genuine connection with every dog he works with. He possesses an in-depth understanding of how dogs feel, think, and react, and applies this knowledge effectively to both training and behaviour management. His skills cover a wide range of areas, including: Addressing behaviour problems, reactivity, and aggressive or nervous behaviour Teaching obedience and socialisation Introducing agility training Guiding both dogs and their owners for long-term success Krisztian’s private training field provides a safe and controlled environment for dogs to learn and interact. He works equally well with individual dogs and group sessions, ensuring each animal’s needs are met. Beyond training, Krisztian fosters a welcoming community by organising social events and dog owner gatherings, helping to build strong bonds between dogs and their families. He is a genuine, dog-loving professional who is completely at ease with animals, and his passion for his work is evident in the progress and happiness of the dogs he trains – including my own. Krisztian truly is a dog whisperer We love going to our training with our whippet Tansie xx
We recently started working with Krisztian to help improve our 4.5-year-old Dalmatian’s unpredictably reactive behaviour, including owner resource guarding and protectiveness of our home. After several unsuccessful attempts with other trainers - none of whom were willing to come to our home - I’ll admit, my confidence in seeing real progress was pretty low (sorry for inwardly doubting you at first, Krisztian ☹). But from the very first session, Krisztian stood out. He clearly knew what he was doing - and just as importantly, he understood that we didn’t! He told us this in the kindest, most patient, and clearest way possible (I really appreciate this). His energy is infectious, and his knowledge & passion for all dogs is unmistakable. His approach is a fantastic mix of one-on-one and group training sessions that are always engaging, informative, and each one feels like a mini adventure. Every session gently pushes our fearful dog—and us—into new scenarios and situations, helping us understand the world from a dog’s perspective. Session by session, our confidence is growing. And best of all, we’re starting to see real results. I’m so incredibly happy we found you, Krisztian. Our only regret is not finding you sooner. We honestly can’t thank you enough already for everything you’re doing for us and we are excited to continue our journey with you :-). If you are reading this and looking for a dog trainer please, please, please, please do not hesitate, in my experience you will not find better.

Our gorgeous FRL has had separation anxiety since he was a puppy, from day one of bringing him home. Our whole lives had to quickly adjust as we were unable to walk out the door without him becoming distressed. We tried everything, including a 1:1 trainer who recommended we needed a trainer that specialised in SA. I came across Jodie’s page on Instagram, reading the reviews, honestly I was sceptical! We felt like we’d already put SO many hours of training in and we were no closer to walking out the door… Tonight, we have just returned from leaving him alone for 3 hours, totally happy, totally chill and able to resettle. Jodie has quite literally been a life saver. Super knowledgeable, super lovely and always at the end of the phone through the ups and downs that this training inevitably brings! Stick with it! It does work and we can’t thank her enough.
We signed up to the separation anxiety hub to support our greyhound Lemon as she began to spend more time alone. The resources and videos were really helpful and allowed us to go through everything at our own pace. It was also great to be able to share progress updates on the app and get encouragement to keep going! We are really glad we signed up to keep us accountable and stay consistent in our training and we feel we have a lot more freedom now. Thanks Jodie!
If you are thinking about doing it… do it! Jodie is amazing, her support, guidance & advice are second to none. It has a massive impact on our life and the dogs life. My two whippets wouldn’t settle & now are going to resettling once disturbed or going the whole time without us! The behaviour changes we have seen have allowed us to understand our dogs better but also have someone who truly cares at the end of a message is so important. Thank you Jodie
After a year of working with another behaviourist and never even getting out of the front door, I was out of the door and making progress within days of starting working with Jodie! She knows the subject inside out, and every time my dog hit new hurdles in his training she helped get to the bottom of them. She identified that he was in some physical discomfort that I couldn't see myself, and since seeking vet help he has come on leaps and bounds. I've had some significant changes in my own life which have slowed progress, but I'm getting there and Jodie has been there championing me the whole way (even after I had to make the decision for financial reasons to go it alone, she's still been there for the occasional question and also praise when I tell her how I've hit some new targets). I don't think you can underestimate how valuable it is (in the long, slow game that is SA training) having someone to cheer you on with your successes and make you feel like your failures aren't so bad.
Jodie is amazing and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She really goes above and beyond because she actually cares and always made time to help. Jodie is very knowledgeable about underlying problems too. Unfortunately due to medical issues with Billy I had to stop the training but Jodie offered to restart at a later date which was very kind of her.

5 star care and best dog trainer around
Me and my 8 month old lab have used Louise for both puppy training classes and some 1 to 1 sessions more recently and I’m not sure I would have survived a high energy pup without her help! She’s always ready with plan A, B, C and sometimes even D for when puppy inevitably has other ideas. The advice and training drills are easy to follow to continue training at home and Louise regularly checks in to see how you’re getting on and is always on hand with more handy hints and tips despite being super busy. Highly recommend Louise for all your training needs 😊
We have been taking our Hungarian Vizsla, Ralph, to see Louise for about a year now. After experiencing some trouble with other local dog sitters, we was delighted when we came across Louise and what she had to offer. We get photos and updates throughout the day, letting us know what he's been up to. I genuinely wouldn't want to take Ralph anywhere else.. He absolutely loves going to see Louise and the other dogs. Louise treats Ralph like one of her own, he gets to run around like he deserves and needs. Never in doubt - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If anyone is looking for a dog trainer or boarding I would absolutely recommend Louise at No Pressure Canine. We got Reggie our puppy lab from one of Louise’s litters and it was the best decision we made not just because Reg is healthy and happy but because of the ongoing support we’ve received from Louise. Reggie has been back for training and also for a few days boarding and was as happy as Larry. Louise has loads of enclosed private land and treats the dogs like her own, I would never use a kennel when better options like these are available.
We started going to Louise when we got our working cocker spaniel puppy. We had never owned a cocker spaniel before so wanted to make sure we were getting it right with her training, so we didn’t accidentally pass on or endorse bad habits or behaviours. Louise’s one to one training was absolutely incredible, we learnt so much (I think we learnt more than our dog!!). Louise is so knowledgeable and experienced and it was great being able to come to the farm and also get our puppy socialised with other dogs but in a controlled environment where Louise had full control. After a couple of one to one sessions we found our puppy’s behaviour massively transformed, she was much more calm and focused, began walking loosely on her lead and her recall was reliable and consistent. Louise tailored her sessions around what we wanted to learn and it’s helped us so much.
