Upper Row Farm, Bath BA2 7RB
Very friendly and run very well.
I have had such a good experience on the social walks Emma organises that I felt compelled to leave a review. Emma is so lovely and calm and creates such a non-judgemental and supportive environment for everybody and she's wonderful with the dogs. I would really recommend.
Our 1st time visiting Emma and her training group for a dog workshop on her working farm. The location was beautiful in the open countryside and me and my 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Emma has so much patience, explain things really clearly, is very calm, has plenty of advice and is a very positive trainer. We'll definitely be back for more fun!
I recently took park in Emma's beginner barn hunt workshop with my Airedale Terrier. He loved it and we had a great time. Fab facilities and Emma was great to work with.

We found Rich as we wanted to start some basic gun dog training with our puppy we had few 1-1 sessions and didn’t hesitate to join his beginner gun dog course. He is great with dogs, really knowledgeable and great to work with. You don’t feel any pressure he is really down to earth. The course was well structured and we really took a lot out of it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rich if you are looking for any type of dog training.
We worked with Rich for 10 weeks, completing the Beginner Pet Gundog Course with our stubborn and excitable 12 month old Golden Retriever! Rich has been brilliant, and has helped us improve our dog’s behaviour and focus immensely- we can’t thank Rich enough for his hard work and dedication to him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
Recently attended the Beginners Pet Gundog course - Rich is absolutely brilliant, fantastic with dogs & people. Both my puppy and I got a huge amount out of the course. Very highly recommended!
We first got in touch with Rich wanting some baaic obedience advice for our super bouncy golden retriever puppy. After some 1:1 sessions it was clear we had found the correct person to help us. He took time to listen and address our individual concerns and guided us through. His positive attitude that consistent training pays off has made an amazing difference in our dog’s behaviour. Rich really makes the effort to get to know your dog as an individual, and that has made our training so much easier. We have just completed the beginner pet gundog course, something we never thought would be possible! We would highly recommend Rich for all your dog training needs.
We’ve just completed the beginners gundog course with Rich and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Rich is a knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging trainer who really understands dogs and how to bring out their best. From day one, it was clear that his passion for dogs and deep understanding of gundog training went far beyond basic obedience. He takes the time to understand each dog’s temperament and needs, and the results speak for themselves. I especially appreciated the consistent feedback and ongoing support. Whether you’re training a pup from scratch or refining advanced skills, I highly recommend Country Handlers. This has been a game-changer for both me and my dog. Looking forward to starting the next level!

Jenny is just the best. She helped me so much with my Malinois I can’t thank her enough. I had a very typical behaviour issues and Jenny was fantastic at sorting things out and explaining everything to me. She is my absolute go to trainer, especially when you have some behavioural issues to deal with. She really tries to understand you and your dog, like no one else. Her methods really work and they are built around relationship and bond with your dog, which is great. Thank you Jenny for your hard work with my lot! Lucy, Tilly and Hertz
Absolutely fantastic training. So knowledgeable, professional, friendly, encouraging, motivating and reassuring. Jenny has such a unique and energising approach to dogs and the training. The training was also so much fun for both me and my dog. What we learnt has made a huge impact on our domestic and training relationship. Highly recommend 🤗🥳
Really effective training across different disciplines - Jenny takes the time to fully understand individual partnerships and the ultimate goals. And it's fun too................
Jenny is absolutely fantastic.. I travel 2.5 hours to train with her with my young dog. She is full of knowledge and makes the whole training experience fun for you and your dog. Great at building relationships with your dog . So if you are looking for a trainer that is knowledgeable in so many different dog sports then Jenny at Deliverance Dogs is the trainer for you.

Great trainer and lots of fun. My nervous mini dax always looks forward to going and has come on so much since joining. He never usually likes being around strangers but he'll take a treat off Alison!
Professional, patient and informative teaching. Ali takes time and care with every client in the session and it's a lot of fun! Clear and concise instructions with set goals to work toward as a dog and human team together. Highly recommend!
Invaluable one to one training, tailored to me as a new dog owner and my dog’s own ways. Thanks Ali.

Gaspar and I had our first training session with Lisa the other day and it was a real eye-opener. We started with the basics of lead walking and switched from using a harness, which I’d always used as I believed it was safer, to a collar and the difference was amazing! Lisa taught me how to walk Gaspar correctly, and it was just brilliant. We worked better as a team, Gaspar was more engaged with me, and the whole walk was so much more enjoyable. We did some recall work too, as I’m always anxious about letting him off-lead, and I learned so much. I have things to practise with Gaspar, and I’m looking forward to our next lesson!
