Tom & Victoria have been absolutely amazing at helping us with our cavapoo puppy ‘Freddie’ since we got him. They gave us a detailed, personalised plan for Freddie after a very thorough assessment which has helped us greatly. The follow up videos from Tom have been invaluable and we will continue to refer back to these for a long time!! They are extremely knowledgeable, always at the end of the phone if you need any help/tips and deeply care about their clients/dogs. Thank you so much Uncle Tom and Victoria!!! Would recommend to anyone
I contacted Pooch on a Pedestal after our rescue puppy started to develop some challenging behaviours at home and outside. Victoria has been so helpful in helping us identify triggers and appropriate interventions and activities for Jimmy to help get him back on track. They have helped us manage doggy sibling relationships, socialisation, fear barking/reactivity, separation and more. I couldn’t be more pleased with the constant support we’ve had at all times and will continue to work with Pooch on a Pedestal moving forward.
Victoria and Tom have a wonderful way about them. They have worked so hard with our rescue dogs. If you value, kindest and experience then these are the team for you and your doggo.
We had a fantastic experience with Victoria and Tom! They were absolutely brilliant with our golden retriever—so patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They provided us with a really detailed training plan and even sent over a video to help guide us at home, which made a huge difference. They were also incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, which put us (and our dog!) at ease right away. Thanks to their support, he’s doing so well with his training. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert, caring trainers!
Tom and Victoria are the Pooch on a Pedestal dream team! When we adopted our working cocker spaniel puppy we were at a loss as how to best train her and meet her insatiable energy levels! After an initial assessment and intense training sessions with Victoria, Sadie has been going on regular socialization walks with Tom and has recently graduated to ‘cocker club’ 😂 we are so grateful to Tom and Victoria for their expert knowledge and genuine affection for the dogs they work with. Their advice and support guided us through the early stages, helping us to understand Sadie and facilitating her smooth transition into our family. Thank you! 🐶🐾

Rich is a great dog walker. Trixie loves spending time with him and running with the pack. He’s always dependable and goes the extra mile to help us out when needed.
Has been walking my dog Cuba for 2 years. Cuba absolutely loves him and the other dogs he goes out with. Wouldn’t be without him!!
Rich is a brilliant dog walker who clearly loves every dog in his care. He knows the personalities of his regulars and advises the best match for your dog, which is invaluable. Our 18-month retriever has gained so much confidence with other dogs and she's always exhausted and happy after going out. The Instagram stories are a highlight of our Thursdays. Thank you, Rich!
My dog Earnie looks forward every week to going out on long hikes with Jago walkies, from doing one day a week or doing all 5 nothing is too much from Richie he literally goes above and beyond
Rich is the most amazing dog walker! Our lab willow absolutely loves her walks with him and her four legged friends, and it really helps us to know she is having an amazing walk. She is knackered when she gets back!! Richard is super reliable and has never let us down. He is super trustworthy and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone!

Fantastic trainer, patient and kind
We started taking our puppy 2 weeks ago. We are getting better results with cues, tips on behaviour, and advice on building the confidence of our pup and us. Tamara is amazing
Questions not applicable as it is a puppy training course. Fantastic information and any questions answered on a group or individual basis.
Fabulous dog trainer. Can perform miracles!
We took our black Labrador puppy to Propups puppy classes. We not only thoroughly enjoyed the classes but felt they gave us the tools we need to raise Rosie correctly. It was also great to be able to get advice and support from the trainers during the class on other issues we were experiencing. We will be signing up for graduate classes to continue the learning!

Have used Emma on a 1-1 basis on a couple of occasions and also attended her classes. Her knowledge is amazing and her help with some issues have been invaluable . Highly recommend to anyone looking for help with training or behaviours that need addressing Emma is that person 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Attending the practical puppy course. The course was informative and fun for both us and the pippy. Emma is really supportive and always happy to answer any questions or concerns. Would highly recommend for first time puppy owners who want a little head start on getting the basics cemented early.
Emma has been a life saver today. I found a stray dog and brought him home to try and track down the owners. After no joy on the Facebook groups or with the Council, I found Emma on a website for scanning microchips. She came to the house straight away and got on with helping. The pup was taken to the dogs home and registered as missing with the dog warden. Emma was comfortable with the dog, clearly knew what she was doing. I'd recommend her services to all! Thanks again.

Gareth and his team have walked our beloved Labrador Coco since she was a pup and she’s now almost 14. We don’t know what we would have done without Gareth he is absolutely fantastic. He and his team really love dogs and will go out of their way to get to know your dog and your family’s preferences. Gareth is also probably the nicest and funniest person I know 🥰 would 💯 recommend
We've used Pontcanna Dog Walking for a number of years now. They're brilliant and really accommodating to our unpredictable schedule and the ad-hoc nature of booking and changing walks really works for us. Would absolutely recommend and will continue to use.
Our previous dog loved his walks with this mottly crew as does our current crazy lurcher. They are always well looked after, experienced walkers not phased by dog antics and dogs always come back tired and happy 😊❤️🐕
We’ve been using Pontcanna Dog Walking for our Toller for 6 years! They are absolutely brilliant! Reliable and affordable and always take the best care of our dog. He adores the team!
