Top 5 Dog Trainers in Dogsthorpe

Before I met Raimonda I was at a loss with my chihuahua. I adopted him and saw how reactive he was quickly with barking at everything, getting out of control and he was very stressed. Going outside was a fear and hiding behind cars and bushes when people and dogs walked by. After training with Raimonda, we learnt so many training techniques and tips. I fully trusted the process and am in such a different place now which I never thought would happen. I’m so pleased we found Raimonda, the training sessions have been so valuable. Being able to take my dog out for calm walks is amazing! Highly recommend

I write this review as I sit and eat my lunch whilst my puppy FINALLY naps in his crate. This morning I was firmly stuck in the puppy blues but I feel so much more positive after my 2 hour session with Raimonda. I’ve always felt confident training my dogs but recently got a 5 month old puppy who had spent all his life so far in a kennels, so felt a bit confused about the best way forward, specifically with crate and toilet training. Raimonda has helped me make sense of how to train him and totally reinforced my confidence. I cannot thank you enough!

Fantastic dog trainer gave us many tips and positive ways to make our dog far more obedient and much happier would definitely recommend..

What can I say..Rai has worked wonders with my dog. He was fearful of everything but aggressive with it. Literally everything from people, dogs, pushchairs, joggers, hi viz jackets and bikes. He was a hyper nervous wreck. He also previously suffered trama in his life which added to it. I knew there was a softie under all that floof and I so desperate to help him, finding the right trainer was hard. Then literally I found Rai, a BIG ray of sunshine. Cannot thank her enough, she had a battle on her hands to find a safe way to work with us. She also gave me confidence as well to learn to trust him which was so hard!! She's not just a fantastic trainer but a lovely person and I have already recommended her to 3 people. She's really amazing👏 5 🌟 isn't enough. She has literally changed our lives!!

Raimonda is an Excellent trainer, she as helped Cooper a lot, just need to concentrate on getting him not to bark at dogs, we got him to not bark at people, would definitely recommend her

Jerome is an incredible trainer & has great knowledge! Our dog was reactive and had little experience in general and with the information we were given/shown we’ve been able to fix how we are with our dog to help guide her! Everything was explained in such detail and demonstrated in such a way that the training was so easy to grasp too and implement into our everyday. Thank you so much! ☺️

We had such a great experience working with Jerome! He’s incredibly personable and put us at ease right from the start. He’s very knowledgeable and always made himself available to answer our questions, no matter how small. You can tell he really cares about what he does and wants the best for both dogs and their owners. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend JHD Training. Very practical advice, great engagement with myself and my dog. Working In public spaces was a valuable experience.

Punctual friendly and very good with Sydney. Learnt so much from Jerome and up to us now. He is there at the end of the phone if we need him and that's reassuring to know. Totally 💯 recommend

Jerome gave us really clear guidance and tools to help with our dogs reactivity. We would recommend him to anyone!

I've been a member since TDTS first opened, and I absolutely love it. The sense of community is incredible — there's no judgment, just support and encouragement. The range of resources is fantastic, from online courses and webinars to live sessions and the absolutely amazing in-person training. It’s all excellent value for money too. The help and support available are second to none, and everyone is so friendly. I truly love being part of the TDTS family - that's really what it feels like, a dog trainers family! Thank you Lee and Helen!

Just got back from the 2-day Practical Skills weekend hosted by Lee and Helen from The Dog Trainer School — what an amazing couple of days! Full of brilliant ideas for training classes, 1-2-1s, workshops and working with my own dog too. It was a great hands-on experience, surrounded by other inspirational trainers who were so friendly, supportive and encouraging. The focus was all about keeping things fun and simple for clients, which I absolutely loved. Feeling absolutely shattered but so inspired — thank you for an awesome weekend!

I have been a TDTS member since it opened and have done several in person courses too. It’s always a fab learning experience and I come away brimming with ideas! The membership itself is an amazing resource full of value and a great supportive community 🥰

A fantastic resource for dog trainers! Helen and Lee have made my life so much easier by providing the information, training, and the support that they do. £12 a month is well worth it!! Highly reccomend to any dog trainer out there.

A brilliant Saturday in Peterborough a few weekends back with The Dog Trainer School! I attended their Workshops workshop, Lee & Helen were both so welcoming and made me feel at ease instantly. The Workshops workshop was fantastic, I had a great day learning new things and they've helped me come up with new workshop ideas for my business. Lee made sure that the course was tailored to exactly what the attendees wanted to get from the session with a perfect mix of theory and practical elements to the workshop as well as a few breaks. I also loved Helen's talk on marketing at the end as this is something I really need to improve on. I would 100% recommend The Dog Trainer School courses to anyone looking to learn new things or improve their knowledge further. I plan on signing up to their membership soon.

Paul had our cocker spaniel, Roger, in for a month of residential training. Paul listened to what I wanted to achieve with Rog (bringing him on overall, rather than ‘fixing’ any specific issue) and hit that objective. It’s clear Roger had a fantastic time with Paul and his family and was treated as one of their own. He came back super healthy and glossy looking and you could tell they had developed an excellent bond in a short time frame. Throughout the stay, Paul kept us updated weekly with photos, videos and his ‘school report’ was a highlight of our weeks! I would definitely recommend Paul and look forward to returning to his new ground to keep up our training.

Had the pleasure of attending some puppy groups through the spring just gone. Paul was friendly and provided really helpful & pragmatic advice

Knowledgeable and experience based gun dog training and advice delivered with wit and warmth! If you have a Springer in your life you need Paul!

After losing our previous dog a few months later, we decided to get another. We searched the internet for the right dog and breeder, and came across Paul. We had a short conversation, and a few questions were answered. We travelled down to meet Paul and Joanne, who were brilliant. After careful consideration from both me and my partner, we brought home our little puppy, Willow. Willow was due to be an active family pet, and Paul and Joanne were confident that we were the right people to have her. We started having lessons with Paul, and then some residential training when we were on holiday. He was brilliant – he gave us weekly reports, and anytime I messaged him while we were away, he would let us know how she was doing. After another careful conversation with my partner, Paul had another litter of pups. We brought home our second beautiful lady, River. This time, we decided to get a long-term residential to get everything set into her from a young age. Paul and Joanne have been nothing but brilliant throughout the entire process. The care for the dogs, the lessons with Paul – everything from start to finish – has been exceptional.
