Top 5 Dog Trainers in Leyland

Brilliant from start to finish. If you're having training problems look no further. Can't recommend enough!

I am beyond grateful for the 1-1 training Emily provided for my two Italian greyhounds and have seen real improvement with reactivity and prey drive, which was proving challenging when on walks and in public. Emily taught the basic skills of positive reinforcement and more importantly the need for rest days!! I was initially skeptical of rest days due to the amount of energy my dogs have, however Emily showed us how we can use scent work and field hire to exert energy in different ways away from triggers. This has been eye opening and I am so grateful as are my two! They are much more settled and not as stressed when in the home or out on walks. Working from home is becoming much easier too. I have learnt the power of my words and ones that work for them, that they will respond to. Emily was able to put the effort in to my two simultaneously, catering for their unique needs. I am so grateful for the support Emily has provided and on going support if needed which is super reassuring. The improvements I have seen so far has been life changing for all of us and with continued practice will make perfect. Thank you Emily! I couldn’t recommend enough. 5*!

We’ve recently had a set of puppy 121’s with Emily to make sure we start off on the right foot with our new Collie cross. Emily has been great to work with, totally flexible in her approach and the training is completely tailored to our pups needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and look forward to attending some of the varied classes she runs in the near future.

Booked Emily for 4 sessions for my border collie puppy Nelly who is a car chaser . Emily was warm friendly helpful and very knowledgable . She pointed me in the right direction and added that consistency is the key . She was also very patient with me as I don’t absorb information easily and struggle with consistency too. The car chasing still very much work in progress but will continue working on it . Would highly recommend Emily to anyone needing help with their 4 legged friend . Thanks Emily

Emily is an excellent trainer, with real in depth knowledge and experience in applying positive reinforcement. She worked with me and my typical teenager lad who is pulling a lot on the lead and whose recall has got very unreliable. She went through lots of different tools that we could use, tailoring them to suit the fact he is awkwardly not that food motivated. He really enjoyed the session and I got a lot out of it too. Would totally recommend.

Dawn is an amazing dog handler/trainer. She is very enthusiastic, and realistic regarding each dog's ability. Understanding that most of our dogs are pets we want to be happy, sociable animals. She is encouraging, and always very positive. My dog even entered obedience in competitions! Very unusual for a Pug!!! I highly recommend Preston Trick Dogs.

Dawn is knowledgeable and intuitive trainer with good knowledge or a variety of dog sports including tricks, heelwork to music and obedience. A qualified Good citizen assessor and brilliant empathetic understanding of dogs and how to communicate information to handlers in an easily understandable way.

Dawn is amazing. I’ve done a few workshops with her, she’s very knowledgeable, and makes the learning fun for the dog and handler alike. Can’t wait for my next session with her

“I highly recommend Dawn as a dog trainer! Her expertise, patience, and kindness have made our trick training sessions with her a joy. She is well-accredited and skilled, always using positive reinforcement methods that keep both dogs and owners engaged and motivated. Dawn’s approach is gentle, encouraging, and tailored to each dog’s individual needs, ensuring a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Her dedication to using R+ techniques makes her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable trainer. Thank you, Dawn, for fostering such a supportive and enjoyable learning environment!”

Harrison’s Dog Training was recommended by our local vet as an experienced positive skills based trainer. We chose the Pet Gun Dog classes for our Labrador, to work on engagement and impulse control. She has thoroughly enjoyed all the activities and it has been great to see her use her working dog brain in a fun, force free environment. We would highly recommend Harrison’s Dog Training for all breeds of dog, as there are classes for many different abilities and ages.

Very patient and understanding with our reactive dog Flora

Highly recommend these puppy classes our puppy has enjoyed them very much and we both have learned a lot which will definitely be helpful going forward *****

Having taken on a rescue from Romania we were beginning to despair if we could ever get him to settle and behave but Myles gave us the tools and the confidence that made the difference. We now have a more contented and well behaved dog. It takes dedication but with Myles help and support it has been so worth it.

Have been using Harrisons since my dog was 3 months old. Started with puppy class, moving onto Bronze awards and also had some 1-2-1 support. Myles has great knowledge in dog training and behaviours. Together with Tina and their doggy helpers make a great team and i would highly recommend for a dog of any age and ability.

I was at the end of my tether when I contacted Nicky , we were having problems with resource guarding in my retriever puppy which was quite frightening at times. Nicky has been absolutely brilliant in helping me to correct my puppy's behavior with guarding. Even after the first session , with the skills and knowledge that Nicky passed on to me, I felt more confident and in control of the situation , and at last i started to enjoy my puppy. We had 4 sessions in total and after each session , Nicky sent an in depth email summarizing what we had covered during the session an what to work on until the next session, which was great as I don't retain information well 😆 Nicky's love of dogs is obvious to see, it was a pleasure to have Nicky coming to the house and spending time with her , Hattie loved her, we'll both miss our training with Nicky. I thoroughly recommend Nicky and without doubt would contact her again if we have any further issues.

I just wanted to say a huge Thankyou to Nicky. Before she helped us, my mum was at her witts end with our 9month old labrador. She wasn't enjoying her and it seemed there was issue after issue with a number of things. I called Nicky and explained the problems we were having. I booked 4 sessions and ever after the first one my mum was starting to feel better. The course was competed amd the difference in Moss is actually unbelievable. Nicky listened and addressed each problem individually, she worked with my mum and Moss on the day and sent an email after each session explaining what was worked on and an explanation of what was to be worked on until she came again. I honestly can't Thank Nicky enough for the help she has given and the things she has helped to put in place the things that make Moss as she is now. My mum is so much happier now. Even though the sessions are finished Nicky has said just to go tact with any questions we may have. I would recommend her to any one. Thanks again Nicky, we really appreciate everything you did for us x

Nicky was brilliant with understanding and training our dog. Her initial consultations were in depth to get to the root of the problem. Her training methods are kind , patient and inventive. I would recommend her to anybody having an issue with their dog.

Nicky has helped us hugely with our labradoodle who was struggling with some reactivity to noise and light. She was professional throughout and her attention to detail and thoroughness gave us the tools needed to see significant improvements in our dog's behaviour in a short space of time. Nicky was in constant communication and offered advice/strategies/games and techniques to support our dog and progress his training. We now feel well equipped to continue with these strategies to support our dog and are seeing improvements every day. We are so grateful for Nicky's help and highly recommend her services.

I adopting a lovely rescue dog. From day one I was pulling my hair out as River had clearly faced trauma as a puppy and showed signs of food protection. I seeked Nicky's help and ultimately, with her amazing help, experiencing a complete transformation. There was work to do but Nicky made it easy - just follow the steps... I will be forever grateful to her.
