We signed up to the 6 weeks 1-1 training with our dog shadow and wow what a fantastic experience. He went from being anxious, nervous around other dogs, over stimulated with other humans and very excited on the lead. He struggled to settle and struggled in day to day life. Flash forward 6 weeks with Lauren and he is a happy doggy who is more settled, has a much improved recall, is comfortable in new situations and all together less anxious. He has progressed so much in 6 weeks and we cant’t wait to continue his training. Lauren made learning with shadow so easy, personalising the training to his needs and adapting it to his reactions. We have loved the sessions and I know shadow has too. It has helped him become so much more relaxed and has learned some amazing new skills to help with life when it gets too loud. Thank you so much Lauren we are very excited to come to group classes now and continue to progress with our training 😊
Just completed a 6 week private package with focus dog training. Lauren has been amazing with my French bulldog silva and we have all learned so much! I did not think it would be possible to see a difference in her such as pulling on walks or reactive to other dogs but she has. We still have a way to go but all the tips and tricks will definitely help us keep building on enjoyable walks together. Thank you!
We’ve had a really good experience with Focus from the start. Both Rach and Lauren have been super flexible with us which has been great and very much appreciated! You can tell just how much they actually care about the dogs too. Lauren has been a fantastic trainer. We’ve gradually built upon foundational skills over time. After each session she provides feedback and some homework which is great. We’ve seen a HUGE improvement in Cooper’s lead walking, and his engagement with us on walks. We’ve learned what does and doesn’t work for Cooper, and my confidence with knowing how to deal with tricky situations on walks has definitely grown. I’ve gone from not wanting to walk him on my own through fear of him being reactive, to being able to walk him on lead in public spaces and getting him to engage with me. We use the techniques taught by Focus daily and we’re happy with Coopers progress so far. We’re hoping with consistency he continues in the right direction 😊
Lauren has been amazing. We went into this process a bit sceptical but we have learnt things we never could have done reading articles on the internet. We have a deeper understanding as Lauren is full of knowledge and is super efficient during her sessions. They were also really understanding and flexible as we had a few personal issues so had to change a few sessions. Maggie (our 9 month old Cavapoo) has really enjoyed the sessions, and when Lauren was here was the perfect dog! We will continue to put in the hard work as can see the potential and changes in Maggie already.
Wonderful trainers. Really good and helpful advice about dealing with my reactive terrier Jeff. Could not recommend them highly enough.

I would definitely recommend Dawn. We have a Tibetan Terrier, who can be unpredictably reactive and we have worked with Dawn during the past few months. Dawn has given me lots of really useful strategies and has been unfailingly supportive and positive. Nessa is much improved and I now know what to do when she takes the odd backward step. There has been no pressure to book lots of sessions, but Dawn has always made herself available when needed. Thank you 🐶🐾
No longer in the doghouse has been fabulous in helping get our Sprollie Alora from lead walking nightmare to a happy pup walking off lead with great recall. no longer in the doghouse have been professional throughout spending lots of time observing and advising in the best ways to get Alora to walk nicely. Also great alternative courses for keeping your dog tired out with home activities when the weather's less than ideal for outdoor walks.
Would definitely recommend Dawn to anyone who needs to work through problems with their doggos. She is very calm and professional and follows the appointments up with advice which is helpful.
Excellent support and advice for both us and our puppy, can’t thank or recommend Dawn enough
Dawn was great really helped us get through a few tricky situations with our dog. Couldn't recommend her highly enough!

What can we say! If Bailey (our 7 month old Golden Doodle) could speak, I know he would express how much he loved the puppy training. Yes it was challenging at times when that leaf was blowing in the wind and the wonderful wet grass was just there to be rolled in! but it has to be said that we all took a lot away from it. Exceptional trainer (Nelly) who made everything simple (for us owners most certainly).
Nicky is a wonderful dog trainer highly recommended
We went to the agility classes, and it was so much fun! Our little dog loved it, it wore her out and gave her the opportunity to focus some of her energy. Lots of homework to do, and we hope to be back again soon
Nikki has been brilliant and so supportive in helping me train my 10 month old very boisterous puppy. We love coming to classes and would recommend her to anyone.
Our border collie Milo loves his puppy obedience class, basic agility lessons and Nikki! Nikki is knowledgeable, patient, professional and kind. She always has clear and easy-to-follow strategies and tips that as a first-time dog owner have been invaluable. She is great and I have already recommended her classes to other dog owners.

Adele is brilliant with our cockapoo Ralph. He’s always so excited when he knows he’s going to day care and runs straight up to the door. It’s so reassuring going to work and knowing he’s having so much fun. Ralph has also stayed a few times when we’ve been away, and Adele looks after him as if he was her own. I’d 100% recommend Humphrey Happy Hounds for anyone looking for day care or boarding. Thank you, Adele and family for taking such good care of our Ralph!
I cannot rate Adele enough!! My dog goes once a week to day care and he leaps out of the car - he’s always so excited to go! Adele has also had him for short stays overnight when we have had to go away, and I know he is in such good hands. I don’t have to worry at all if he is okay or if he is being looked after properly as I know he is!! I recommend Adele to anyone who is looking for day care, she really loves and cares about the dogs she looks after!
Adele is absolutely amazing we the dogs she goes above and beyond for all her customers and there dogs she's so caring makes sure they have everything they need and treating them like part of the family I will definitely be using adele again and I would recommend her to anyone absolutely amazing xxx
My dog absolutely loves coming to Adele’s and gets excited as soon as we pull up at the house. She gets to run around the garden playing with other dogs all day and taken out for a lovely walk as well. She recently boarded for a week and was so comfortable and settled throughout her stay. Adele always sends photos and videos throughout the day to let me know how she’s getting on. I would recommend Humphrey Happy Hounds to anyone looking for daycare and boarding for their pooch.
Cooper goes to Humphrey Happy Hounds day care once a week and it’s fair to say that his day care day is the best day for him! Before cooper went to day care, he was an anxious dog who didn’t like being away from me and my partner, but now he doesn’t even flinch when being dropped off and I know he has the best time ever! Adele is brilliant with the dogs, she provides picture and video ‘pupdates’ and I feel totally reassured leaving cooper with her! I cannot recommend Adele & Humphrey Happy Hounds enough!

Robin has enjoyed his days out with Warren of Yorkshire Canine care and now watches out for him when I say his name. He comes back home tired and happy and I receive photos and videos of their adventures together. Robin can be quite timid and Warren has a lovely calm approach that has won him over. He has also had a bath and brush with Warren and looking forward to a groom too. I 100% recommend Warren and Yorkshire Canine Care.
I feel really blessed to have found Warren at Yorkshire Canine Care. My dog Nova loves her time with him and I can relax knowing she is safe, having fun & being perfectly well cared for. I love the fact that the dogs in his care get some training and are taken to different places on hikes so they can be free to run around and explore off lead. I also really appreciate that my dog is always returned to me clean and fresh smelling 😀!
YCC and Warren have been amazing, they are so friendly and always go the extra mile. Our Labradoodle loves her walks with them, and we know shes safe and well looked after with them.
Brilliant service, cant thank Warren enough, Toby and Kyra go with him every week and absolutely love there walks and have made lots of new doggy friends
I cannot imagine a better service than Warren & YCC provide. My Labrador absolutely loves her group walks, daycare sessions, and the ad-hoc life emergencies that crop up. Nothing appears to be too much for Warren! He's really confident with our somewhat wilful dog and has built a really strong bond with her very quickly. Warren provides great, engaging excursions for her and providing beautiful photography, route plans and videos. In addition, YCC have taken on the care of our elderly cats when we're away, again providing us with daily updates and funny stories about their antics. I wouldn't be able to recommend YCC highly enough, 5 starts doesn't do it justice.
