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!
Lewis has been helping us train our golden retriever puppy and I would highly recommend! Lewis is very knowledgable and has trailered the training for us and Luna! I would highly recommend popping into their shop too, Luna loves her visits to see Kevin 🐶

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.
Excellent attention to individual detail, understanding and very good at their job. Highly recommended and would use their services again. Many thanks

I brought my dog to Brad K9 Crew feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. He was extremely reactive — barking, lunging, and constantly on edge around other dogs and people. It was stressful for both of us, and I wasn’t sure if things could get better. Fast forward to today, and the change is nothing short of incredible. Through his patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate approach, my dog has transformed. He’s more confident, calmer, and happier — and so am I. Brad took the time to understand his behavior, tailor a plan to suit his needs, and guide me every step of the way so I could continue the progress at home. What I appreciated most was how much he genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and our bond. Brad didn’t just train him — he helped me become a better owner, and that made all the difference.
We met with Brad today to get some help with our foster dog who can be reactive to other dogs on the lead. We learnt a huge amount in an hour and on his evening walk we tried to put it into action and even passed two dogs with very little reaction from him - a huge step for day 1. We feel confident that what we learned will help him go from strength to strength! Thank you!
I can't say enough good things about Brad K9 Crew. After just one session, I saw a noticeable improvement in my dog's behaviour. A couple of sessions later and it was like a switch flipped - my dog was more responsive to commands. Now after several sessions I have a completely different dog with friends, family and people we meet out on walks commenting on my dog and it is all thanks to Brad. Brad's calm and patient demeanour made the entire process enjoyable not just for my dog but for me as well. His deep knowledge and understanding of dog behaviour stood out and he tailored the training to fit my dog's specific needs. I highly recommend Brad K9 Crew to anyone looking to improve their dog's behaviour and to get a better understanding of their dog - it has been a life changing experience.
My 2 dogs were sent to his for 2 weeks residential training because they just pulled on the leads constantly and got distracted by other dogs all the time and they came back so much better! He gave us tips on how to keep up the training and we had 3 sessions of 1 hour training in a group afterwards which helped us as a family to show us what we need to do to continue the good behaviour.
After 5 years of trying to get help, it was a massive leap of faith to send our naughty litter siblings to boot camp, but it has had a huge impact on all our wellbeing - once we persuaded them to leave Brad and get back into our car at the end of their stay. Follow up training for us, included in the package, with Brad's calm authority was a pleasure too.

Went from when my dog was 14 weeks up until he was one and completed puppy, bronze and silver.
