Top 5 Dog Trainers in Bournville

We had our assessment today & I couldn't have asked for more. Ceaser has an incredible depth of knowledge & he explains everything perfectly. Even just a few hours after meeting him I walked my dog with minimal pulling which is a huge relief. He's given me hope of a happy, loose lead future & I look forwards to seeing how we progress

Travelled from Rotherham to Birmingham to this guy and was asked if I could come a different day when I was half hour away from him as there was a delay with traffic etc. the guy new I was on my way from Rotherham and expected me for 4pm but I told him I wouldn’t make it till half 4 there was no reply from him untill I was half hour away so a good hour - hour and half into my drive .. he then messaged and asked if I could re arrange for another day .. this particular day I’d already had to re arrange the time and actually asked about re booking for another day altogether as I had just flown back from turkey that night had 2 planes to catch from Izmir to Istanbul then Istanbul to Manchester, drove from Manchester to Rotherham to collect my dogs then from there got my 2 big dogs ready and on my way. Was a hell of a night and this guy just wasted my time completely then once I’d turned round and set off back home he starts telling me he’s still there and to come .. I’m already 15 mins heading back down the opposite way as I turned straight round at the next junction after seeing his mesdsge asking to re arrange for another day. Tired already this guy just topped off the day .. lost out on 50 pound but money is least of my concerns this guy might have 50 pound of my money but I have 6 dogs that were all going to be trained or atleast 3 of them .. 1 session per week 50 quid a session this guys just lost out on 200 quid a month so hope he’s got some money if he can afford to treat potential customers like that .. have tons of trainers a lot closer too chose this guy as was recommended by someone who took a pup he got from my litter there and I thort might be nice for us to use the same place for my dogs (the parents and siblings) but never mind alternatives closer that more than likely will turn out better and much more professional

Very experienced and easy to deal with

We were hesitant about sending our pooch away for 4 weeks intensive training - he's a working Springer, so constantly running full throttle, was hyper around dogs and people when out and about, and couldn't walk on lead for love nor money. We had to walk him on a head collar simply to get a hint of control - on a neck collar or harness he just pulled like a steam train. Caesar is amazing. We went and met him and within minutes of saying hello, he had allayed every concern we had. He is so insanely knowledgeable about what he does and completely understood our dog - he could tell me what I was about to say next because he'd been there, seen it, done it before! He estimated that he'd need 4 weeks but in the end our dog stayed 7 because Caesar is a consummate professional and didn't want to leave a job half done! The additional time was at no extra charge and we were updated with messages, photos, videos across the whole stay. Our dog is a reformed character now: I can walk him on a neck collar with one finger holding the lead and when off lead at a field, he ignores people around him and when a big Bernese Mountain Dog lolloped over this week, he looked for a moment and ran back to me. Caesar is a miracle worker! He is a fantastic trainer and a genuinely lovely person. No question is too daft for him to answer and nothing is too much trouble to make sure that you're happy and informed about what's going on. He took the time to take an interest in our family life so he understood what setting was home for our dog. We would recommend Lisen K9 in a heartbeat to anyone who needs a dog trainer, you literally could not find a better one!

We took Bolt (the white one) to be assessed by Ceaser on Saturday morning, it didn't take long for him to see the issues we were having with our German Shepherd. Initially very reactive to other dogs but within 15 minutes Ceaser had got him to a place where he was relatively calm in the presence of the other dogs. After following the advice he gave us to try at home, Bolt's behaviour has improved in so many ways and it hasn't even been a week yet! It stuns me that small changes in our behaviour can affect a dog's way of thinking, he has become less anxious and less boisterous since the visit. We are so grateful to Ceaser's gift of being able to read these animals and solve doggy problems. Of course there is still work to be done, but he will get there. 😁👍

Penny had puppy training sessions with Lewis as soon as she was able. She’s nearly 3 years old now…but an absolute joy - because of the investment I put in for puppy training sessions with Lewis. Dog owners I meet in the park always comment at how well behaved Penny is…and I always recommend Lewis. Lewis is so helpful and has always been available with advice and guidance through tough training moments. Thank you Lewis.

Can't reccommend Lewis enough. Such a nice, friendly guy - but more importantly incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Really helped us with our puppy, with the group classes, and also 1-2-1 sessions (one of which we did later once our puppy had turned 11 months) If you are looking for a trainer or some advice, Lewis is superb!

We joined with Freddie the doberdor who is our cross breed Doberman/labrador. He was around 12 weeks old when we started as we are first time dog owners. Lewis helped us with basic training with our puppy from a young age so we could continue with that each week and as he grows up. We understand the importance of puppies need sleep and definitely not to go hungry! We now also recognise signs of distress or unwanted behaviour and how to intervene to reduce any chaotic behaviour. We brought the package that included 2, 1-2-1 sessions and have regular contact with lewis on updates with our doberdor as well as continuous advice and suggestions. We’ve never been to another dog trainer but could not imagine we would get a better service than this! We also regularly go to the Empawrium shop which Freddie thoroughly enjoys and also gives lewis an update on how Freddie is when greeting people and the other dogs inside! I couldn’t imagine how Freddie would be if it wasn’t for the training with lewis and early socialising at the classes. Would highly and strongly recommend Digs Behaving Gladly.

Lewis was amazing in both the training classes and helping our dog Dot with her seperation anxiety. Training was insightful, we and our dog learnt a lot. Not only that, we also popped into his shop for more help (we're complete dog newbies!) and he helped us and gave us some priceless info. Thanks so much will deffo see you again with training for the puppy teenage years!

Lewis has been helping us train our golden retriever puppy and I would highly recommend! Lewis is very knowledgable and has trailered the training for us and Luna! I would highly recommend popping into their shop too, Luna loves her visits to see Kevin 🐶

Woofology has been an absolute game-changer for our puppy training journey. From the very first session, Amit and the team demonstrated not only deep expertise but also genuine care and passion for what they do. Their use of positive reinforcement techniques made the experience enjoyable, effective, and completely tailored to our pup’s personality and needs. The guidance we received was clear and empowering—giving me the confidence to build a strong, respectful bond with my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Woofology to anyone looking for support with puppy training, this team is truly amazing and worth every penny of the investment. Thank you Woofology, for setting us up for success and making the process so rewarding!

Woofology: A Game Changer for Me and My Pup 🐾 I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Amit through Woofology—he’s not just an amazing dog trainer, he’s a true partner in helping your dog thrive. As an accredited IMDT trainer, Amit brings professionalism and expertise, but what really sets him apart is his deep passion for dogs and his holistic approach. When I first reached out, my Labrador was an anxious little soul at just 12 weeks. A few barks from other dogs made walks unbearable—he’d pull, refuse to pee or poo anywhere but the garden, and even struggled to get into the car. It was heartbreaking. Then Amit came over for an initial consultation—and everything changed. He doesn’t just train your dog, he trains you too! Within just one hour, my puppy was happily jumping into the car. Amit even brought his dog Elio into the mix, which worked wonders. Walks are now a joy, and my puppy absolutely adores Amit. His knowledge of nutrition and supplements has also made a huge difference in our journey. I’m still having sessions with Amit because let’s be honest, training is often more for the humans than the dogs! 😄 If you're looking for a more fulfilled life with your dog, don’t hesitate. Amit and Woofology are truly life changing. Forever grateful for your support and patience, Amit.

We took our puppy Leo to the Woofology group classes which were excellent and we & Leo learnt so much from each class. Amit & Rebecca made sure that each dog learned each of the cues no matter how long it took. Leo also had a lot of fun socialising and playing with other dogs in the secure dog fields used for group classes’ location. We also had a one-to-one session with Amit at our house and he was brilliant in helping Leo master the basics and helped accelerate Leo’s toilet-training. So many of our friends and family have commented on how well-trained Leo is compared to their own dogs and/or how challenging they found it to train their own dogs and we credit a large part of Leo’s good behaviour to Woofology. Highly recommend Amit and Woofology

We've just finished our 3rd behavioural training session with Amit and I'm delighted with the progress we've made. Our rescue Border Collie, Curio, was particularly reactive to men but eventually accepted Amit and decided to be friends with him. He's given great advice and we're much more confident now. We've still got work to do but we now have the tools to cope and we're definitely heading in the right direction! Would highly recommend Amit and Woofology.

Excellent attention to individual detail, understanding and very good at their job. Highly recommended and would use their services again. Many thanks

Working with Charlotte has been a rewarding and enjoyable experience for us. My wonder-pup has a disjointed start to her life and so the heart-centred dog-first approach has been the only way to go. A huge thanks to the Happy Dog crew - we are a community.

Charlotte is simply AMAZING! What she has taught me has been invaluable and I have a very happy pooch and I’m one very happy owner. She gave me little things to observe that made such a huge difference. Her knowledge is endless. Highly recommend!

My Happy Dog & me changed my life. Charlotte's research based approached changed the way in which I built my relationship with my dog. Charlotte provided real life, practical methods to use with my dog. My dog is a confident, problem solver who thrives in a range of different environments. Knowing how to set your paw pal up for success is key and Charlotte's approach, along with a plethora of resources really will support you in understanding your dog. It will help you build a healthy and happy relationship. Going to the pub, park, friends, holidays, being left alone are all covered. I would only recommend My Happy Dog & me.

Charlotte is an amazing dog trainer. She loves helping owners succeed with their pets and the training provided is so helpful and understandable.

Charlotte is a very good trainer and a lovely person to work with when you have a new puppy. We really benefited from learning from her; she taught us methods that we have been able to use with success for a long time now. I highly recommend her and won't hesitate to ask her to work with us again if we had a new puppy.
