I can’t recommend Angela enough, she has fantastic knowledge and is so friendly and patient. My dog become very reactive, barking inside and outside at everything that went past. Within a week of seeing Angela there was a drastic improvement and now it has stopped altogether. Even outside of training sessions, Angela suggested so many activities that have made my dog so much calmer and easier to settle. Thank you so much.
I had a great experience with Progress Dog Training . Angela were knowledgeable, patient, and used positive reinforcement techniques that really worked. My dog made amazing progress in just a few weeks. The classes were well-organized, fun, and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior!
I’ve been really impressed with these dog training classes! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and Angela is incredibly patient—not just with the dogs, but with us humans too. What I really appreciate is how the trainer takes the time to explain why we’re doing each task, which helps everything make a lot more sense and makes it easier to apply at home. Angela also really understands that every dog is different. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here, which made me feel like my dog’s individual needs and personality were taken into account. After each class, my dog is both mentally and physically tired—a sign of a great class. I’d definitely recommend these classes to anyone looking for a positive, knowledgeable, and effective dog training experience.
Angela is brilliant at what she does. We have learnt so much from the courses we have done so far. She is very knowledgeable and patient and clearly has an amazing understanding of dog behaviour and how to train in a fun and positive way. Our dog absolutely loves the sessions! I can't recommend the courses enough for anyone who has a new pup!
Excellent traing course I Would recommend it for your dog .

Could not recommend enough - Holly at Friendly Creatures really helped us understand our puppy better and have seen so much improvement since taking part. We learned so much about our puppy's behaviours and how to get the best out of him and for him. Thank you!
The team is amazing, and our dog is so well adapted to our family after the training. I love how much they care about results and their deep knowledge! We will come back for more. Great job!
We did Lydia’s online puppy training course and it was fantastic! Lydia was super helpful, really friendly, and explained everything in a way that was easy to follow. After each session, she sent a follow-up email with a summary of what we covered, which made it so much easier to practice at home. The course really helped build our puppy’s confidence and ours too. We’d definitely recommend Lydia to anyone looking for puppy training support!
Martina has a wealth of knowledge and is very attentive towards my dogs needs. I am very happy with the training provided. the videos are very helpful as well. would highly recommend!
We attended a six week puppy course, really pleased with the experience. Our trainer Marta was excellent!

I am truly grateful for the incredible gift Agnes shared with me. Her ability to connect with animals on such a deep and intuitive level is truly extraordinary. While I was speaking with Agnes about my beloved dog Rex who passed away few years back, I was moved beyond words when Agnes could feel his presence surrounding us. What happened next was something I didn’t expect. She channeled a message from Rex- with such clarity, compassion and warmth- that touched something deep within me. I could feel love so clearly that all the pain I’d been holding onto simply began to melt away. That day I received an incredible gift. What Agnes offered me is so much more than communication: it’s emotional liberation, spiritual connection and unconditional love, all wrapped in a presence that is deeply safe and grounded. THANK YOU, my dear Agnes! You are a healer, a guide, a bridge between hearts.
Working with Agnes has been one of the most beautiful experiences—for both me and my dog, Max. We were on a journey to support Max through his grief, as he had been carrying so much since the loss of my husband. What Agnes offered wasn’t just healing—it was deep, soulful connection. She communicated with Max in a way I’ve never witnessed before. She truly saw him. Understood him. And helped me understand him too. That meant the world to me. Since our sessions, Max has become more affectionate, more at peace, and so much lighter in his energy. I could feel the shift in him—he seemed genuinely happier and calmer. He’s always been my comfort through grief, and now I feel like I’ve finally been able to give something back to him. Supporting his emotional wellbeing was the best gift I could give, and I’m deeply grateful I found Agnes. If your dog is going through emotional pain, or if you simply want to connect more deeply with them, I can’t recommend Agnes enough. She doesn’t just work with animals—she honours the love and bond that exists between them and us.
Working with Agnes has been, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences of our lives. We enrolled our now 5-month-old maltipoo girl, Tia, in her 8-week training program, and what we gained was so much more than obedience training – it was a deep, beautiful bond with our puppy and an education in compassionate, intuitive dog parenting. From day one, Agnes made it her mission to understand Tia on a personal level. Her approach is not one-size-fits-all – she truly tailors every aspect of her program to the dog’s personality, energy, and needs. She got to know Tia as if she were her own, and designed a plan that nurtured her confidence while gently guiding her behavior. But what truly sets Agnes apart is that she doesn’t just train dogs – she trains people. As first-time dog owners, my husband and I were overwhelmed, but Agnes patiently guided us, answering every question, calming every worry, and helping us understand Tia in a way that changed everything. We are different people because of her – more confident, more connected, and so much more in tune with our dog. The relationship we now share with Tia is one we wouldn’t have known how to build without Agnes. On top of all this, Agnes brings a holistic touch to her work that is rare and powerful. She incorporated Bach flower remedies to help with Tia’s anxiety and restlessness, and the improvement has been both visible and heartwarming. Her knowledge, dedication, and care go beyond the surface – she addresses the emotional and energetic well-being of your pup in a way that feels deeply healing. Agnes is not just a dog trainer. She is a true healer, teacher, friend and a guide – someone who has forever changed our lives and helped us give Tia the best, most loving start in life. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone who wants to not just “train” their dog, but to truly understand and connect with them. Thank you, Agnes. You are magic. We love you!
** Update** after a few more sessions with Agnes she is even better! Her skin is a lovely baby pink, showing she's healing, and her face is much better too. She doesn't lick or bite half as much as she used to and also seems much happier in herself again! I am so happy with how she's progressed and wanted to thank Agnes again for being such a wonderful person 🙏🏼 💗 🙏🏼 💗 I wanted to share the progress my American bulldog Dakota has made since starting work with the wonderful Agnes. Many people don't believe in what she does and won't even give her a chance but I want to share my personal experience with her and encourage those with an open mind to reach out to her. We first had a chat about Dakotas history and what I thought was the cause. Agnes then explained that she is an energy healer and told me a little bit about what she does. I don't pretend to know how it works but I can tell you that throughout the process we went from treating it as an allergy caused by certain foods and environmental issues to the possibility that she was reacting to me leaving her and the rain causes her a lot of stress. I was guided through using Bach remedies to help ease her stress and changing my mindset about what is affecting Dakota. Before help from Agnes I would never have thought that she had separation anxiety as she tended to curl up in a ball and sleep but also bit and licks herself, which she doesn't do massively when I am with her. With separation anxiety I always believed that it was shown by a dog destroying the house and whining rather than scratching and licking themselves. I do believe that she still also suffers with environmental allergies and sensitivity to certain foods but in making a few changes and acknowledging that she isn't as happy as I thought she was when being left alone, I have definitely seen improvements with her. I have attached some photos of her before help from Agnes and some from now. She still has a way to go as she was on apoquel for almost 5 years, masking her issues but we are definitely heading in the right direction. I would recommend that anyone with an open mind who has tried lots of other methods to get in touch with Agnes. She is such a lovely person to work with and very highly intuitive. She got Dakotas character down perfectly without me telling her what she was like. I honestly can't thank this wonderful lady enough for helping me through some very up and down weeks with my girl ❤️🥰🙏🐾
I can't praise Agnes enough for everything she has done for both my dogs. My greyhound, Blue, came to me aged 3 after being retired from racing. He settled in quite well to house life but was absolutely terrified of fireworks and thunderstorms. I had tried calming supplements and thunderstorms coats but nothing seemed to help. Agnes was already helping me with my other dog with skin allergies, so had offered to work with Blue too. Agnes is amazingly intuitive with everything she does and immediately was able to tell me a lot about his personality. She continued to work with him over a few weeks and there was a huge improvement! I was dreading new years eve, knowing that there would be continued noise for over 10 minutes but after a very brief whine and circling, he settled in his bed for the duration of the fireworks. Hopefully I have attached some photos of him laying quietly in his bed with a screenshot showing the date and time so the fireworks would have been in fulls swing. I have definitely noticed a big difference with his behaviour and his energy is much more relaxed since his sessions. I can't thank Agnes enough for helping me with her wonderful healing ability and would highly recommend her to anyone with fearful, reactive dogs.

Working with Jayne at 4Paws has been a pleasure and a total game-changer for us and our rescue Siberian Husky, Luma! From our personalized 1:1 sessions to the lively Doggy College classes, every moment was packed with learning and fun. Jayne's insights into dog behavior are truly remarkable, she helped us decode Luma's quirks and gave us practical, positive ways to encourage her best behavior. We've continued to practice Jayne's teachings and Luma is making strides every week! Seriously, if you want to see your dog shine and have lots of fun doing it, you have to check out 4Paws!
I would 100% recommend training with Jayne. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and gave us invaluable advice on tailoring training techniques to not only my puppy but also for me and my family. We looked forward to learning something new every week and going away to practice. My puppy Zuri has come such a long way and the techniques learnt in Jayne's lessons mean as a family, we feel so much more confident when walking in the park and playing with other dogs. Thank you Jayne!!
I Can’t recommend Jayne enough she has been absolutely amazing with Nelly. We done the 1-2-1 training. Jayne’s training methods have been really effective and we have really noticed a positive change. Nelly really enjoyed her sessions especially seeing Jayne.
I can’t recommend Jayne highly enough! She has done a fantastic job working with my dog, Red. From the start, she formed a genuine bond with Red, and it was amazing to watch their connection grow. Her training methods are not only effective but also kind and respectful, which made a huge difference in Red’s confidence and behavior. Red absolutely loves her, and I’ve noticed such a positive change since we started working together. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and treats them like family, Jayne is the one to call!
Jayne was amazing with our little doggy!! He has learned so much! Definitely recommend!

Sean is an excellent trainer. Thorough explanations and demonstrations. Milo responds really well to his training and we have very much enjoyed learning from Sean.
Sean’s training, support and advice has been invaluable and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He helped us to prepare for and settle in our brand new puppy, and then progressed to obedience training as our puppy grew. His genuine love of dogs comes through everything he does. We booked a block of five sessions, and then booked a couple more as different issues came up for our dog. He was always on hand for queries in between sessions and made sure all his sessions were tailored to exactly what we needed. The whole process has been a joy and we have a very happy dog!
Sean has been a massive help in showing us the best way to train our puppy, giving invaluable advice both in lessons and via message when we need it. 10/10
Sean gave us practical and easy to follow instructions which lead to noticeable progress within a couple of sessions. He also helped us to understand the realistic timescales for making progress. He was very supportive and he brought his own dog Charlie along to help us train our dog.
