Adam is a 5 star trainer… this has only been our first session and our dog has completely changed. I’m mesmerised by the change and looking forward to the next 9 sessions… I highly recommend 100%…

In our first 2 hour session with Adam, we saw a huge improvement of our dog Benji’s behaviour. While previously he wouldn’t sit or stay and would weave while walking, after this first session we already were able to get Benji to listen to instructions, socialise with other dogs safely and stay calmer. We also feel like better dog owners with a better understanding of his behaviour from all the information we were provided. We cannot wait for the rest of our sessions and to see Benjis progress. Adam’s direct and concise approach was consistently backed up by his wealth of knowledge and clear results. All the other edit owners we met were so happy with the progress their own dogs were making.

Within 2hours Adam had helped my daughter calm our dog down and start to train her, she went from an aggressive, scary, very vocal stressed dog to a whole new dog i honestly thought i would never see!! In a huge pack of lots of other dogs of all sizes and temperaments my dog was walking around with and doing commands when asked once. Not only that Adam helped us to understand more about our ways as owners but never made us feel like we was awful for the things we had tried to do just explain in simple terms which helped us to understand and change our ways to support the training! Im excited for the next lot of training sessions now and more so excited about actually being able to take my dog for a walk without all the stress behind it for both of us! I cant recommend anyone better than these trainers!!

I recently enrolled my dog, Sherlock (27 months old), in MidlandsGrizzlys' dog school, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Sherlock started with the first ten sessions focused on obedience training, followed by the off-lead programme. The transformation has been remarkable—he's now a stable and well-behaved fur baby, ready to be a positive member of society. The experience has been fantastic, not just for Sherlock but for me as well. It's a brilliant way to get out and meet a wonderful group of people who share a love for dogs. Adam is savvy and genuinely cares about each dog's progress, making the sessions enjoyable and effective. If you're considering dog training, I wholeheartedly recommend MidlandsGrizzlys. It's more than just training your dog it's about building a community and enjoying the journey together. Give it a go—you won't regret it!

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!

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.

I have a French Bulldog, Cleo, who unfortunately became reactive after several negative experiences with other dogs. She was never like this before, but these incidents left her highly alert and in protective mode. As her behavior changed, I also became increasingly stressed, which only amplified the situation. Walks became difficult — Cleo would react strongly to other dogs, and even to runners or cyclists passing by. Living in an apartment, we’re out several times a day, which made things especially challenging. I initially tried group training sessions, but they were far too overwhelming for Cleo and left her more anxious. At that point, I truly felt hopeless and wasn’t sure things would ever improve — until I found Jen. From our first interaction, Jen was incredibly understanding and compassionate. She really took the time to listen and validate everything I was going through, which meant so much to me. We agreed that she would begin by walking Cleo alone to help rebuild her confidence and trust — and she approached this with incredible patience and care. Since working with Jen, Cleo has been able to enjoy a variety of walks again, including in the woods, fields, and by the lake — places I had completely avoided before. I saw changes in Cleo almost immediately. As Cleo progressed, Jen invited me to join the walks so we could work together. This approach has helped both Cleo and me tremendously. While Cleo still has some work to do, we’re now at a place where I can take her on solo walks along the canal with confidence — something I didn’t think would be possible just a short while ago. Jen has been absolutely brilliant. She brings a calm, confident energy that dogs respond to, and her ability to support not only your pet but also you as an owner is remarkable. She’s patient, kind, and genuinely invested in helping you make lasting progress. I’m so grateful for everything Jen has done for us so far, and I’m looking forward to the continued progress Cleo and I will make with her support. Thank you so much, Jen — you’ve made a world of difference.

Jen is a very knowledgeable, flexible and pragmatic dog trainer. She has taught my pup many tricks and also helps with his behaviour which is sometimes a bit challenging. He loves when she comes to dog sit and we’re bit very glad we found her!

Cannot recommended Kingsway Canines enough! Jen has been amazing with our very nervous Romanian rescue. As many intro walks as it took, and even went running with her to build confidence and trust! They really go the extra mile to make sure your dog has the best time and is well looked after. Love the little pics and videos they send as well.

First time dog owner here of re-homed show cocker spaniel, Bingo! Jen has been absolutely brilliant both as a trainer and as a dog sitter and Bingo is always super excited to see her. She's given us so much more confidence in working with some of Bingo's challenges and given us some fun tricks to do with her as well. Thank you, Jen!
