We reached out to Emily just over a month ago. Our dog has struggled with lots of different things but especially reactivity to other dogs on walks. Going out of walks became stressful and not enjoyable until now. We started training through WhatsApp straight away and we have already seen a massive difference. Her approach to training is so friendly and understanding but also detailed in an easy to pick up manner. It’s been really refreshing to have a trainer who understands what you’re trying to do/achieve and advise clearly and accurately. Training over WhatsApp has been a surprisingly great fit for us too! It’s allowed us to take training at our own pace and be able to send videos to Emily who can give us training tips on what to do next time but also gives us a lot of reassurance and positivity that we are also going the right thing. Would 100% recommend Emily and her training to anyone who is considering training their dog.
I can't praise Emily at Clever Canines enough! I signed up for Whatsapp training sessions with her after rehoming Baxter, an 8 month old cavapoo, from Many Tears. He was extremely nervous and scared when he arrived home, to the point that we were a bit concerned he might nip if we tried to handle him at all. Emily sent clear videos showing various training strategies - first helping him to learn his name and come when called, progressing to getting him able to tolerate a collar and lead (this felt miraculous!), then walking on a lead (more miracles!), settle quietly on a mat when we ask him to, and we're currently working on getting him to sit without being asked if I stop while we're out walking. He's already well on the way with this. After receiving each of the videos I've put the techniques into practice and sent videos back, to which Emily has responded with tailored advice for us. As well as suggesting training sessions, Emily has also responded to requests I've made for techniques to deal with specific things (e.g. barking at the window), again with videos and tailored advice. All the training is reward based and fun for me and Baxter and it's really helped us bond. Baxter is now a confident, happy little dog who's a pleasure to be with everywhere we go! Emily is patient, helpful, friendly and approachable and always responds to messages quickly. I know Baxter wouldn't be the great, happy little companion he is now without her help. Absolutely superb and such good value. To anyone considering this training I say - do it, do it, do it!!!
The personalised training via WhatsApp which Emily offers is absolutely brilliant. As a first time dog owner, it is such a blessing to be continously able to ask for advice regarding my puppy. Emily is always really quick to answer and along with personalised suggestions about how to work on certain behaviours, also sends videos about how to train specific things. All of which has been really useful so far and I would 100% recommend Emily.
We have worked with Emily since our lovely golden retriever girl was 11 weeks old and she is now 14 months - Emily’s advice and support has been the absolute best investment we made during her early days. I am a confident dog handler with experience with difficult dogs and knowledge of behaviour, but I have learnt so much from Emily over the past year. We have been battling with whether to pay for another year of her services, but Sprout is now so impeccably behaved and we feel well equipped for her future because Emily is so good at what she does that she’s done herself out of a job! Most notably, Emily has helped us with a few specific behaviours with simple and sometimes creative solutions: Constant mouthing that was rectified within a few days of using Emily’s advice Attention barking in early adolescence Anxiety on walks as a puppy Increasing her wake time from 5am to 8.30! Pulling on walks Aside from these specific instances of behaviour, Emily has helped us to really understand Sprout which has given us more patience with her behaviour: recognising how strongly her behaviour is impacted by her stomach, establishing a routine and updating when needed, and understanding when she’s stressed and anxious. Most of all Emily has shown enthusiasm about Sprout, patience with us, and so much support, sympathy, and understanding. We will genuinely miss having her at the end of the phone and will absolutely be back in touch during the next stage of ours and Sprouts life.
Thank you Emily for all your help and support. We came to Emily for support when our dog became a slightly reactive with other dogs and for tips to help her socialise well with other dogs. Thanks to Emily and her really helpful tips we are enjoying our walks much more. Highly recommended

Recently used Tina’s Tails & Trails for first time for my dog Toby. I needn’t have worried he loved every minute of it. Tina is very caring with the dogs and is obvious to see. He settled in straight away and soon playing with the other dogs. He loved his walks and sends pictures to put your mind to rest of him enjoying himself. Will be certainly using her services again in October. Thank you Tina from Toby and myself 😃
Had a meet and greet with tina ,absolutely recommend tina and her fury family,such a lovely person ,residential dogs fantastic ,our dog iam sure is going to have a fabulous holiday with them all .
My dog Molly spent 17 days over Christmas and New Year with Tina. She had so much fun and was very well looked after. I would recomend her services wholeheartedly.
Tina provides a truly home from home experience. My dog always has a great time, totally well cared for and I never worry about him when I leave him, ever. He makes lots of doggy friends and learns a lot about being a dog. Look how happy he is. So so pleased we found you Tina. Thank you x
Tina has looked after our boy, Duke, a couple of times now for boarding. He has absolutely loved his time away from home! We have been updated with photos and videos which has put us at ease knowing he is being well looked after. Tina caters for medication and nutritional needs and have been extremely happy with the service provided. Definitely a home away from home. Duke is always tired coming home, from all the play, which is a bonus when coming back from a holiday🙈 would definitely recommend Tina to anyone needing daycare or boarding.

Both I and my dogs love it here. We've made loads of friends, human and canine and get to practice good behavior in a safe space with lots of other dogs. The volunteer trainers are absolutely amazing! It's the best £3 a week I've ever spent ☺️🐶
Lovely dog class with a good dog trainer who was very welcoming knowing it was our first time there look forward to being a regular with my dog, only problem I had was it was hard to find in the dark as there wasn't many signs but found it in the end would definitely recommend to friends and family for there dogs!!x
Dog loving people, what's not to like. Relaxed cheerful sessions

Thanks to Craig my five month old labrador cross collie is showing me that its me that needs training. It's all about staying calm and being patient.
We approached Craig for help with our rescue dog who'd become a bit reactive after an altercation with another dog. We've had a few sessions with Craig now and he's awesome! Really nice guy and very patient. He really knows his stuff, is personable, reliable and punctual, and most importantly, we've seen a huge improvement in our dog since we started with him and this is improving week by week! Since the pandemic, we were unable to find anybody who'd actually come out and train with us out "in the field", which I think is essential for help and support with anyone with a reactive dog as your confidence goes, but Craig met us in person from the very first session onwards. Thoroughly recommend for all of your dog training and behavioural needs!
Absolutely fantastic, Craig set us on the right track to be able to get the most out of our Pup. Thank you.
Amazing

After coming to the puppy beginners my pup went from an extremely shy and timid dog. Having to be dragged into the arena, to a more confident dog who was dragging us there! Would highly recommend this course!
