Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Grahame with his expertise in helping with our Cockapoo who was pulling on her lead when going out for walks. We saw an immediate improvement within the hour that we were there and she has continued to improve each day. She is a pleasure to walk now. She also reacted every time we gave someone a hug and this has stopped completely. She is a completely different dog and we can’t thank you enough.
I'd like to thank Grahame & Sarah for all there help with Harper my BSD. She was nervous & reactive to dogs & people. We started off with a couple of 1-2-1 sessions then completed the 8 week Introductory course. Now we've just started the advanced class! We've still got a way to go but now I know we'll get there. With Grahame & Sarah's help of course.
We can’t thank Grahame enough for his invaluable training, advice and support with our husky-shepherd pup. As a rescue, he was very timid and anxious when we got him, but just a few sessions later, he is now loving life! Grahame gave us brilliant techniques to practise between sessions which kept consistency and built trust between us and have resulted in a much more confident pup that we can take anywhere. We can’t recommend Grahame enough. We were never rushed and feel he always goes above and beyond to overcome any issues we have had with public places, vehicles, recall and basic commands.
We really enjoyed our dog training sessions. It was a good environment with plenty of outdoor space and indoor space if needed. We leant a lot during the course which was thoughtfully put together and explained. Grahame and Sarah are lovely - encouraging friendly and helpful. My daughter (11) and I, plus dog, were sad to finish our lessons but we're pleased to find out we can continue with some occasional Saturday sessions which is ideal for us.
Had a great time at our basic training class.Grahame and Sarah giving lots of advice in all aspects of training and every day life to help with a very excitable puppy. Looking forward to continuing our journey with the next class.

We had a great experience with Thomas. He answered all of our questions that we had and gave us great tips and advice on training our dogs. We are working on all training tips and hoping that in the next 3 weeks we will see an improvement. Thank you :)
Today was a big day for Dude, and I just had to share how impressed I am with the training session he had with Thomas! From start to finish, Thomas was incredibly patient and insightful, really understanding Dude's personality and specific needs. Dude can sometimes be a little stubborn, but Thomas quickly gained his trust and made the whole session feel fun and engaging for him. It was clear that Thomas has a deep knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques, as he knew exactly how to work with Dude to reinforce positive habits and improve his focus. I noticed a huge difference in Dude’s behavior after just one session. He’s more responsive, calmer, and seems to understand commands better. What I loved most was how Thomas made sure to keep things positive, using plenty of praise and rewards, which kept Dude excited to learn. Overall, I’m so grateful for Thomas’s dedication to Dude’s training today. I’m looking forward to more sessions and seeing Dude continue to thrive under Thomas’s guidance. Highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking to train their dog!
We have enjoyed our training experience with Tom showing us how to get the best out of our dog Betsy. He has an upbeat cheerful way of training and Betsy really enjoyed it as well as us.Thanks Tom
Tom helped me look for my missing ferret out of the kindness of his own heart! Super nice guy and super clever dog!

Really enjoyed the puppy training classes. Thanks to Alison for her expertise and endless patience! Look forward to coming back for the next stage of the pups education.
I have recently had a one to one session, and am 6/7 sessions through my first term, and I'm booked to continue to the next! I can't recommend Alison enough, she is so knowledgeable and she has really helped me expand my own understanding in training my dog. She has also helped me support him successfully with his second fear phase, and I love that she promotes positive training approaches, and has taught me how to use a clicker properly! Alison always highlights that we do need to put the work in outside of class, that training is an ongoing need. I'm starting to see the results as my dog continues to improve in his obedience and the needed skills for him to succeed in life. At the start of the 7 weeks he was quite nervous, but he/we have become more and more confident not just being around other dogs when they bark, but also in his recall and his stay amongst many other commands. Lastly, if you have any other questions, Alison always has some great suggestions and other ideas, it's not all about the KC award! She has a lot of knowledge about dog sports and trick training too. Thanks for everything so far Alison.
We are very grateful to Ali for the help and advice that she has given to us in order to help our puppy. She was very friendly kind but firm with us We realise her training methods are on going every day in order for us to have a relaxed and happy puppy.
Highly skilled behaviourist, who is supportive and passionate about dogs! It’s a 5 star from myself and Bramble!
Definitely would recommend Alison if you’re looking to successfully train your dog in a positive way, she definitely helps to make training a positive experience, which helps to make training less stressful. She’s also helped out with my dog who can sometimes be reactive/anxious and following on from her recommendations, persistence and teachings, we can now successfully walk around the park/street with no problems.

Excellent course, great, responsive organisation
I have currently been enrolled for about a month now i am taking the DTCP3 program in September. I have been amazed at crash courses and programs on offer to me while i wait for my program to start! The learning platform is easy to get on with and support is as ways at hand. It is a amazing community to be apart of and would recommend any body wanting to go into a career in dog training or just want to learn a little more about the pet!

The best scent training we've been to. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and expertise. We have learnt so much in just 2 sessions. You provide such a warm welcome and friendly environment. We so appreciate all your hard work and how passionate you are. We are looking forward to our next session. 😀
Phil really knows his stuff and is full of problem solving ideas and tips. Thanks very much.
Thank you Phil for really interesting Training days and events. Since moving to Norfolk nearly 3 yrs ago we have covered lots of different events. Keep them coming!
Just attended one of Phil’s workshops and I highly recommend anyone who wishes to begin or progress in Scentwork with their dog to seek out Phil. His knowledge and experience is so wide ranging, he explains everything clearly, it all makes sense, and most importantly I and my dog had fun. Cannot wait to book on another workshop.
