I can’t thank Brian enough for his guidance, patience, and expertise. He has helped us build Buddy’s obedience and turned our walks into something we both love. Before starting the 12-week program, my golden retriever was extremely reactive, and pulled on the lead. I struggled to walk him, and it was a daily challenge. Now, after completing the program, he heels beautifully by my side, and doesn’t react to other dog. We enjoy peaceful, stress-free walks together. The transformation has been incredible.
I would highly recommend this training service. I feel like I am seeing the light after a struggle with my reactive dog thanks to the help and support from Brian and the team. Very approachable trainers.
Where to begin??? My big (and he's huge) black lab Baxter couldn't set sight on any other dog without reacting. LOUD barking and lunging to the point where I would drive miles to the middle of nowhere to walk him as my anxiety was through the roof and I didn't want to risk meeting another dog. Then I got in touch with T.P.K.T. They tailored a block of sessions to our needs which we are just over half way through. The difference in Baxter is unreal, today for example, at a session, we were in the park with 2 other dogs and he was lying down just watching them do their thing!!!! At an earlier session we actually walked alongside another dog!!!! We still have wee blips but like I said we are only half way through. The big difference is I now have more confidence to walk him in well known dog walking areas. Brian's knowledge and understanding of dogs is quite incredible and I can't thank him enough for the progress so far!!! Long story short..... don't think twice about booking T.P.K.T
We started working with Teachers Pet when our puppy was about 6 months old. We have a Great Dane puppy who can certainly be a handful and Brian has been excellent to work with. As well as training our dog it is training us as owners so we can achieve our ideal results. They have access to great facilities and the training has been very clear and we have seen great progress almost instantly. We're very excited to reach the end of our course and believe that we will have a well mannered and obedient dog.
We’re almost half way through our training plan at the moment and we are already impressed with the progress we have made in such a small amount of time. Brian’s knowledge and expertise are first class, his advice and guidance has really helped not just train buddy, but train us as his owners. We’re very grateful we came across Teachers Pet K9 Training and would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for help with training their dogs.

Very friendly , excellent service
My westie went from being scared of his last groomer to skipping to Nicki’s the moment we park at the end of the road. It’s all down to Nicki’s care, patience, skill, and obvious love of dogs. Thank you Nicki 🐾 💕
Nicky does an amazing groom on my two Multipoos they both come home all fluffed up and amazing the both love going 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕 photo for cuteness 🥰
If I could give more than 5 stars I would, Nicki is brilliant with Poppy. Would not go anywhere else, Super Friendly, Professional and most importantly she loves and takes care of the Dogs in her care.

I recently did a webinar with Yvonne on Fireworks and collies. Yvonne was very helpful and full of advice which I am going to try with my own collie.
First-class! Yvonne’s support in helping us begin to desensitise our adorable but nervous little Collie girl, is wonderful. Less than a week into the process, and she is already less reactive to some of the trigger sounds that were just changing her personality in a heart-beat, (including fireworks, the noise of young children playing, and alarms). So distressing for us, and Yvonne’s pragmatic, personalised approach has given us real optimism that we can make this little dog’s life even more complete. I’m very impressed.
I joined a Fireworks webinar with Yvonne in early August 2025 which was scheduled several months before Bonfire Night to enable us to use the tools she gave us to work with well ahead of the night itself. Yvonne gave generously of her time during the webinar and since then has provided materials for us to use. We can also contact her for ongoing support, if required. Thank you, Yvonne.
Wonderful trainer! Kind, patient, and effective with positive reinforcement. Highly recommend 🐾
Just shared a very interesting presentation by Yvonne, The Collie Whisperer. This lady obviously knows dogs, and especially collies, very well. Yvonne has provided a programme to follow to desensitise my collie before bonfire night. It sounds fairly easy to follow 🤞. I’ll start tomorrow. Thanks Yvonne
