This is the first time I have ever encountered a dog with separation anxiety. Dinky just barked and barked when we left her, upsetting us, her and our neighbours. We reached out to Jan, who put a training plan together for us. Jan sent us a different plan daily to follow. We did this 5 times a week, and put the work into Dinky and fed-back after each session. After 8 weeks we were leaving Dinky up to 2 hours. With the help from Jan, Dinky is now much more settled when we go out and we are able to continue the training on our own.
In the space of a few months , my puppy cavapoo went from barking and howling even if I left her for a minute, to being comfortable on her own for 2hrs plus. Jan has been excellent throughout and has been there every step of the way. Now I feel like I have my life back!
Jan's training was brilliant. She was honest from the start saying that there was no quick fix for a dog with separation anxiety but she could help. She was right and I now have a dog I can leave for well over 2 hours when before it was 2 mins. Jan is vastly knowledgeable of dogs and supportive of their humans. I'm still training but without Jan but may return. I can't recommend her highly enough.
We reached out to Jan in desperate need of help with our nearly 2 year old cockapoo Norris who has never been able to be left home alone since we brought him home at 8 weeks old due to constant barking and howling until we returned. We were at complete breaking point when Jan first came on board. Jan worked closely (and patiently!) with us and gave us the knowledge and motivation to keep going when we needed it. We are now at over an hour with Norris where he can sleep soundly at home whilst me and my partner are out of the house.. something we thought we would never achieve. We cannot thank Jan enough for helping us get our lives back and seeing Norris relaxed without us at home is just amazing. Thank you Jan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jan, I don’t even know how to thank you for the great job you did with my Sky. I never thought Sky would allow me to pop outside without him for 1 minute without crying but he managed to do 1 hour without even whining. It has been a journey! When we started, I was skeptical and never thought we would get there but your reassurance and the way you tailored the training to suit Sky was incredible. You understood his behaviours and made sure he was settled throughout. You truly are exceptional in what you do. Sky’s wellbeing was your priority throughout and I highly appreciate this, Jan. Sky and I are blessed to have worked with you on this journey. Thank you very much for supporting us to tackle Sky’s separation anxiety. He is a confident little boy now. Much love always. Priya and Sky 🥰🥰

Joana has been so helpful. My dog loved her and she has helped me immensely over just 3 sessions. I have learnt a lot which I will continue to use with my cheeky puppy /teenager . She gave me lots of great tips and advice as well If you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable dog trainer , then Joana is your girl
Joana is brilliant! Very flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. We had some issues with a rehomed 6yr old dog and the change in just a few sessions has been remarkable. Milo absolutely loves the sessions and Joana is always available should we have questions between sessions.
Joana is a dog genius. She’s been working with our very challenging puppy Milo for several months now, and the difference she has made to our relationship with him is fantastic. We’ve learned so much, and Milo loves nothing more than when she comes round!
We contacted Joana to get some help with helping to socialise our dog and cat, our dog was very vocal and wanted to chase our cat constantly. With Joana’s help, she taught us simple techniques to rewrite those behaviours with positive reinforcement training. It has taken a lot of time and patience but the training has really paid off and now we have confidence that our pets feel more confident and safe around each other. Joana was very professional, friendly and has such a great wealth of knowledge and experience. We are very grateful for all the guidance and would not hesitate to recommend Muddy Trails to anyone in need of help training their dog (or cat!)
I got in touch with Joana through a recommendation for help with my puppies frustration reactivity. Joana has been amazing in giving me tips and on how to approach things in a friendly and manageable way. I am now more confident in my approach on what to do and have seen massive improvements in my dogs behaviour. Would 100% recommend Joana to anyone looking for help with their dogs.

Lisa is awesome. We are part way through training our Labrador puppy with her and already the difference is night and day. She genuinely seems to just ‘know’ how to tackle each situation. 5/5 an outstanding experience! 🐶
We were struggling with Ben's high levels of fear & MY lack of confidence when walking him. Lisa has shown us how to read Ben's body language, to advocate for him when around other dogs (he's very submissive) & given ME much more confidence. I couldn't believe how much less anxious he is if I'm more relaxed/confident when walking him. Lisa's so down to earth & just put us at ease the minute we spoke to her on the phone. She is always there if you need help with any issues. I really like her training methods which help form a strong bond with dog & owner 🐾🤗🐾
Lisa is very easy to talk to and really explains the reasoning behind the different training techniques used. My dog really struggled on walks with pulling as well as reacting to people and other dogs. After just 2 session with Lisa and using her advice in every walk I have already seen such a positive change, it’s almost like walking a different dog.
Lisa is down to earth, telling it how it is, reassuring and calming influence on my partner and I and our dog. Her influence has led us to success with our dog, Mika, and her training. When we contacted her, we were filled with anxieties around having a new dog who was showing a lot of anxiety herself after being rehomed with us. Lisa guided us through, she is always available, and always happy to give advice. We would not be where we are now, without her. Thank you Lisa. We look forward to continuing our journey with you!
Lisa's passion for dogs is palpable and that alone makes the training sessions worthwhile. In the short amount of time that Lisa has been helping us, we've made some incredible progress covering a breadth of topics, allowing us to understand how our dog's behaviour and routine at home can impact his reactivity towards other dogs when out walking. As we continue to learn, Lisa offers support and information which is proving to be invaluable.

I cannot recommend Graham and South Coast Gundogs enough. I have a sprocker who of a complicated nature. He was scared of life itself, anything and everything, including people. I thought he would spend his life on a long line as his recall wasn't good, his walk to heal wasn't good either, walking off lead was not to bad. After 1-2-1 with Graham, we now have lovely off lead walks, brilliant recall, emergency down, brilliant walk to heal and a very happy dog. We throughly enjoy our walks. If you decide to take your dog training with Graham at South Coast Gun Dog, please take everything that you are told and keep with it, you WILL get what you want. Thank you Graham, from a very happy owner and dog.
Over the last 6 months myself and Ember have attended Grahams Puppy Classes, Bronze and Silver Obedience and a number of 1-1 sessions . Graham has helped us attain a level I could only dream of. Ember is so much happier and free to run without me worrying about her recall . I would highly recommend Graham as trainer and his classes are so informant and hands on, achieving change for the better very quickly . Thank you so much , we will be back after the summer . Phil & Ember
Graham has performed wonders with my high prey driven black Labrador, Lyra. Lyra is a remarkable little dog, but her love for chasing birds made it difficult for her to recall reliably. I used to have to keep her on a long line during walks out of fear that she would run off, get hurt, or harm another animal. However, after just 6 training sessions with Graham, both Lyra and I now have the liberty to roam and savor our walks. Thanks to Graham's guidance, I finally have the well-behaved dog I've always dreamed of. Thank you so much!
Graham is an amazing dog trainer! Unlike the previous 5(!!) trainers I'd used, he tailored his approach specifically for my dog and his issues. After 6 sessions with him, I could finally walk my dog on a lead, and have a reliable recall, after 2 years of other trainers. I genuinely can not recommend him enough! Thanks Graham!
I first went to Graham for a block of 1 to 1s after struggling with my adolescent Springer’s recall and engagement on walks, and we have now done the Bronze obedience course too. In both 1 to 1 and group sessions he gave straightforward advice and instructions that helped me understand my dog’s behaviour and how to train him more effectively. Eddie is now a pleasure to walk off-lead and we are making progress with not pulling on lead too. Graham doesn’t promise quick fixes, and gives genuinely honest advice when you need it (always with good humour) and his training has worked for us - that’s why I’d recommend him and why we’ll be going back for gun dog classes next.

I used CB Canine Care daycare for my 4 month old puppy. Communication was brilliant and really friendly. My puppy absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave at the end of the day! Highly recommend!
Out dog Charlie loves going to doggy day care,The staff there are friendly and caring towards the dogs and come up with lots of fun activities for them to do making sure that they have a great time.highly recommend.
Absolutely gold star standard. The care provided is outstanding. From enrichment activities to socialisation opportunities we know our 2 pooches are well looked after and they can’t wait to get to their sessions with Charlotte and her team. Throughly recommend.
Having had a bad experience at another dog daycare, I was a tad anxious about my little Toffy going to another, but I felt he needed the socialisation with other dogs. CB Canine care has been nothing but wonderful. Charlotte, Devon and the rest of the team are fantastic and take great care with all the dogs, big and little. Toffy gets excited in the car as soon as he realises where we are going and can’t wait to get inside. He comes home absolutely exhausted with all the activities. The team devise activities and themes to make each week fun for the dogs and their families. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and always recommend to other dog owners.
