Had my first session with Forrest who worked with my 9 month old Doberdor. She engaged with him and I saw his leash walking progress there and then. Forrest gave me the tools that I needed to understand the way my dog thinks and I continued with her advice and techniques. Just two days after our session I was able to take my dog for a walk with him walking beside me without the need for his harness. I highly recommend Forrest!
Forrest came out to work with us and our 10-month-old puppy, Doug, who we’d been having a few challenges with. She took the time to discuss Doug’s behaviour and listen to my concerns. Throughout the session, Doug was completely engaged and seemed to have really clicked with Forrest. You can tell Forrest has extensive knowledge and her clear explanations made it easy for me to understand what to do. She took the time to answer any questions. Thank you so much Forrest for your guidance and advice! :)
Absolutely Brilliant, really knowledge, friendly and helpful Thanks again see you soon
Forrest is amazing with the help and support she has given in the first session. Given us something to work on before booking another session Thank you
Forrest visited our home and met Solomon our 9 month old Gerberian Shepsky. We asked for help with his nipping/mouthing/lead biting and various other things. Forrest listened and asked lots of questions about Solomon She really understood him and how to get the best out of our pup. We've been shown games to play to reduce the unwanted behaviour and so far so good. Forrest is coming for a walk with us next time to work on things like lunging and pulling. I know she'll have great advice and she'll be good company at the same time. She is a doggy genius!
Brockhurst Farm, K9 Anytime Weston, Upper, Brockhurst Rd, Blymhill, Shifnal TF11 8NE
The physical space is very impressive & reflects the needs of the dogs, with play areas, quiet areas & stimulative toys - it’s all fully secure & hi tech; complimented by the wonderful Megan, who’s got a spacious converted barn grooming salon. Our Giant Schnauzer goes once a week & absolutely loves his day-he jumps out of the car and although usually a mummy’s boy-once he sees Stuart or Luke coming to greet us, he doesn’t even look back! That tells me how much he enjoys his time. K9 affords the stimulation & socialisation I can’t provide at home & both Sherlock & I look forward to his regular play day!! Highly recommended for all shapes, ages & sizes of dogs-professional & knowledgeable staff can advise on food nutrition & grooming needs. The onsite shop has raw food, healthy treats travelling boxes.
My dogs have the best time on their once a week day care at Weston. Our dogs are treated with so much respect and care by all at K9 Weston. 5⭐️ recommendation from us
My dog has been going to K9 anytime at Higford for 6 years now, and they’ve always been great, and I’ve recently moved her to the new premises at Weston for convenience, and it is fantastic. Luke & Stewart are running the new site and they’re amazing with the dogs - nothing speaks louder than the fact that my dog is really happy to go off with them when I drop her off. The newly built premises are excellent and it’s a great location if you’re travelling on the M6 or M6 Toll every day. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
My dog Marley absolutely loves going to K9 at Weston. It has lovely clean facilities and is very well run. He is always very excited to go in there and drags Stewart to the gate to get in and similarly a very happy dog when I pick him up. I was lucky to have a tour of the new facilities and was very impressed with the care they have taken in looking after our dogs needs through the day.. Apart from being a place for them to be whilst you are working, it is perfect for teaching them manners and how to understand other dogs. They thoroughly enjoy it. I would 100% recommend K9 day care centre with Stewart and his team. They really do care and love dogs.
Hi my name Tyler
Sorry i have never been in this place Midlands Grizzlys
Had my first session with MidlandsGrizzlys and I'm very impressed, Adam put me at ease and was very professional. I enjoyed my calm peaceful walk with Adam and my puppy using the knowledge and techniques I was taught in this first session. My pup is exhausted now lol. I'm looking forward to seeing how much he improves with Adams help. I'll be recommending him to anyone who is looking for a trainer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Only had one session but so far so good adam is great

Adam has been a fantastic dog trainer. We have worked with him with our Doberdor who now has fab recall and is able to walk on the lead properly. The group classes have allowed us to work on our distraction training and socialisation. We are very grateful to Adam. Would definitely recommend!
Really lovely and friendly dog training group. After five weeks my dog is no longer reactive and mixes easily with other dogs. Adam ( the trainer) is a calming influence. Weather permitting training is carried out indoors and outdoors. Highly recommend 🐕Weather permitting.
Westland Ave, Wolverhampton WV3 9NT
I highly recommend Laura. Daisy and I had such fun in our first session and learnt a great deal. Laura made it enjoyable, very easy to understand and put into practice, and followed up by sending comprehensive notes and advice afterwards. She is also a very lovely lady and passionate about the welfare and health of dogs. REALLY looking forward to our second session with her.
