We first contacted Roger approximately 18 months ago to help us with our crazy Chocolate Labrador puppy, Bear. Fast forward to the current day and Roger has helped us transform Bear into the perfect pup! He is so obedient and well behaved that we often get compliments from people when we are out and about with him. The only problem is that Roger has helped us so much that we thought it would be a good idea to challenge ourselves with another Chocolate Labrador Puppy, Rolo! He has just started his training journey with Roger and we are already starting to see positive progress. We cannot recommend Roger aka Dovesflight Dog Training enough!
We called Roger because we were at our wits end and with a baby on the way needed help quickly. Our 2.5 year old GSD is a super sweet soft boy but when out his heel work was not perfect and we found ourselves constantly having to correct him, he would also lunge, bark, growl etc at pretty much every dog we passed and it's safe to say walks were not becoming enjoyable. Despite having tried 2 trainers in the past we felt like we weren't getting anywhere and the training methods just didn't work for him or us. We also couldn't trust him around other dogs off lead his drive just had him ignoring us completely (no matter what we did) and running towards other dogs. In just 3 sessions with Roger the change in Max and us (because it's all about training the human) is almost unrecognisable & even after the first session several family members commented on the noticeable difference already. We are still at the early stages of our training but with Roger's help we have all the tools we now need to get the best out of Max and have Max get the best out of us. If you are considering Roger, don't think just go for it! Our only regret is that we didn't get in touch with him sooner.
Roger has helped us so much to be able to have a calm and well behaved dog . We are know able to enjoy walks and days out with no trouble. Before going to Doveflight are wired haired vizsla was a thief for food , very high energy and had pick up bad habits from running off and not listening to commands. We have enjoyed every training sessions with Roger learning so much and being able to come away with a well behaved dog. Highly recommend
Thanks Roger for all you have done with scooby. You have helped us make a ex hunting working resuce dog which couldn't be walked off led or near any game animals with out being reactive. To now he can be let off In appropriate places and now responding to commands.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Game-Changer for Us and Our Working Cocker Spaniel We took our 18 month old Working Cocker Spaniel, Bailey, to Doves Flight Gundog Training after realising we’d hit a bit of a wall. He is a lovely dog, full of energy and affection, but also a real handful. Pulling on the lead, jumping up, no recall, and even barking for attention... walks weren’t relaxing, and cafés or pubs were off-limits unless we fancied chaos with our coffee. From the very first session, Roger’s approach stood out. Calm, experienced, and straight-talking. What became clear very quickly was that this wasn’t just about training Bailey, it was about educating us. We'd been far too soft with Bailey, treating him more like a 'mate' than a dog who needed guidance and clear boundaries. And because of that, Bailey simply didn’t see us as ‘leaders’ worth listening to. From the first session, the difference has been remarkable. Bailey now walks beautifully on a loose lead, and we’re well on the way to reliable off-lead heel work. He comes back when called, even when there’s something far more exciting going on, and he settles down quietly in the house. No more climbing on furniture, owning the couch or ruling the roost! He’s back to sleeping in his crate, which he now clearly sees as his safe and calm space. One of the biggest changes is how much more enjoyable life is with him. We can now take him out to a café or pub, and he settles without needing constant reassurance or fuss. He’s still very much a ‘work in progress’, but we’re on the right path—and both enjoying the journey. If you’re struggling with a gundog who’s running rings around you, or just want a better relationship with your dog based on mutual respect rather than chaos, I can’t recommend Roger highly enough. His knowledge, support, and down-to-earth teaching style have transformed things for us and made Bailey a much happier, more balanced dog.

Helen was incredible with our rescue collie Bliss. She was patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Her experience shone through and she was able to explain and show us things in a way we could understand. She is always at the end of a text message if we have any worries and that is a blessing when you’re trying to navigate dog behaviour. Bliss was always the priority in every session and you can tell how much she loves her animals. I would absolutely recommend Helen, she is brill, don’t hesitate to book with Helen if you are looking for help, direction and peace of mind. ❤️
We cannot recommend Helen enough - we first reached out to the WP when our Lab was approx. 9 months old and got kicked out of his walking pack for some behaviour and training issues. Helen is incredibly knowledgeable and you can tell she is very passionate about her job. She identified the issue and her strategies made so much sense and most importantly, they worked! You have to be consistent with the strategies and training to continue seeing long-term results but it is so worth it! We have a very happy and healthy, 2 year old goofball. We have also been using the WP in recent weeks for Helen's dog-walking services and our dog is clearly comfortable and happy in her pack!
Helen listened to my worries and helped me to understand my dog’s responses to certain situations. She was patient and gave me various strategies which have made walking my dog less stressful and given me confidence in managing her.
Helen was very personable, approachable & took the time to work with us to address a couple of issues with our (quite a big 6mth old puppy)! Jumping up & running up to other dogs, not listening to recall. She spent time with our pup & myself together at our local field & home to give us some pointers & techniques to use. We have been working on this now for a few weeks & our pup has been brill. He's doing so well just from Helen helping us to change a few techniques.highly recommend her, she's very knowledgeable & passionate about her work with our babies 🐕 🐾
The Woof Pack took on my little rescue Jack Russel called Pea and sorted me out of a tough spot where I didn't have a walker. The staff at the business are absolutely great with Pea and understand her needs - she's sensitive as a result of a rough past. I am entirely grateful for their patience, service and professionalism and would recommend them completely. Thank you.

We have attended the puppy training group classes. As nervous first time dog owners Aleks has been amazing at teaching us some great foundation basics that have really helped us and Bella in the first few months. We would highly recommend her and look forward to attending further classes and sessions.
A fun course ( trick training ) which was entertaining and gave us lots of ideas to keep our border collie mentally stimulated.
We had Aleks come round our house for a pre-puppy consultation and it was the best idea ever. I feel so much more confident in what we need to do when our puppy arrives and Aleks was lovely and we agree with her training methods and suggestions, all reasonable and make total sense. Can't wait for pup to arrive now!
Aleks is a great puppy trainer and we highly recommend! She has been so thorough and helpful throughout our training block and our (very chaotic) puppy, has learnt so much in his training with her. Thanks so much 😊
I joined Aleks puppy classes with my German Shepherd to get him used to other dogs, people and for him to learn behaviours so that he will be a happy and respectful adult. We both had a fantastic 6 weeks of learning. Aleks is excellent and has the experience and patience you require as a dog owner, whether it is your first dog or if you have had many dogs. She is always on hand to help if you have issues outside of the class. I strongly recommend her classes and I am so pleased that Aleks was recommend to me.

Wow. I can't highly recommend Desire Dog Training enough. Benji, my huge Golden Retriever pulled me over and did extensive damage to both of my shoulders. I was too nervous to take him out in case he did it again so heard about Desire Dog Training and decided to give him a go. Wow, I've got a new dog back. I can take him for a walk on the lead and he doesn't pull. Most of all though I can walk him without a lead and he doesn't leave my side unless I command him to and he comes back when called. Absolutely amazing, can't recommend them enough 😊👍
Ed has been to stay with Marcus on numerous occasions and I would not hesitate to recommend the service he provides and the care he shows is like Ed is one of his own so pleased we found him. Ed always goes off very very happy and it is definitely like home from home and I feel like he goes on holiday as well. During his stay i am kept updated with pictures and Marcus is also a great source of information and help with advice especially with him being a dog trainer!
We booked 6 weeks training with Marcus after watching multiple videos of his training & results. As owners of a large dog (Belgium Malinois X GSD) we were extremely conscious that we had to nail down certain aspects of training to give us more confidence & make her life more enjoyable. The key aspects we asked Marcus to help us with were recall, heel training and barking at the TV. From initial meeting Marcus was very open & honest about how we were going to get these results. We have just finished our final session with Marcus today & i can honestly say its like we have a different dog. We can now walk her fully offlead with confidence as her recall is spot on, her heel training has improved 100% still some continual work for us to do but shes nearly there, and the barking at TV has got a lot better. Marcus is enthusiastic, honest & always there to answer any questions you may have. It has been a pleasure to work with him & we cant thank him enough for all the help he's given us over these sessions. Even Nalas enjoyed it, which she hasn't done previously with previous trainers. highly recommend him and his rates are brilliant.
We sent Hugo for 4 weeks board and training to Marcus because Hugo was suffering with separation anxiety and he had no recall, he was disobedient at times and would always pull on his lead on walks. Walking him was never something I looked forward to so we knew something had to be done. Fast forward to now and Hugo came back a well behaved, obedient dog with excellent recall and walks now are such a pleasure! We get comments off of people now about how well behaved he is and it’s all down to Marcus. We will continue the training and example he has set and we can’t recommend Marcus enough, the relationship he shares with the dogs is lovely and they are always treated like one of his own! The only tough thing about it was the goodbye! Please reach out to Desire Dog Training if you feel like your pooch is in need of a little more discipline! They will come back a better dog! 5* from us!
Marcus at Desire, had our 2 year old cocker spaniel, for a 4 week residential training course and a totally disobedient and wilful dog came back a different boy. We could never risk walking off lead before, but now his recall is fantastic and he walks to heel beautifully and is a real pleasure to take out and we receive loads of "What a well-behaved dog you have" comments, of course we burst with pride, even though we know it was all down to Marcus. We had a follow up meeting recently with Marcus and Rusty made a huge fuss of him, which indicates he also had a happy time with him. We were kept up to date on progress during the time our dog was there and we cannot recommend Desire Dog Training highly enough. Barbara & Chris

We contacted Kelly for training help with our 2 month old cocker spaniel. Keely is a true professional who handled our training needs perfectly. A very friendly and knowledgeable trainer who goes the extra mile with follow up written notes which are super handy. If you’re thinking about getting a puppy and haven’t had one before - or have had a long break between having one consider getting in touch with Keely before you bring your pup home. We wish we had done this in hindsight, Keely can offer so much great advice about how to settle your new addition along with advice on crates, harnesses and food etc. Keely would have saved us a small fortune if we’d thought to involve her before we’d bought our pup home. We booked a block of sessions and each one was carefully crafted to our needs. We’re definitely going to book some more sessions for specific issues in the near future. Thank you Keely!
Keely worked with me and my puppy shortly after I brought him home, and helped me with everything from crate training to loose lead walking and everything in between. I became more informed and more relaxed as a first time puppy owner, and her support, knowledge and advice through those early stages was invaluable. I would highly recommend Puppy Parent Coach to anyone getting a new puppy.
I recently adopted a puppy at short notice and was feeling really overwhelmed and confused with the amount of conflicting dog training advice out there. Keely's puppy programme really helped me to cut through all of the unnecessary noise on the internet and helped me to focus on what training goals I wanted to achieve with my puppy. She then gave me the confidence, tools and techniques to help me achieve these goals and settle my pup into his new home. Keely is so knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about what she does, and having someone like that at the end of the phone to provide guidance has been invaluable. I highly recommend Keely to any new puppy parent!
Keely was a great help when we got our first puppy. She came to our home and shared some puppy training strategies with us. She was really patient and calm and Rolo (our puppy ) responded really well to her. I would recommend having a few sessions with Keely as it will be a game changer!
Keely was fantastic with my dog who was having some issues with fear / protection related barking. She was very understanding about the aims of the training walks, and very gentle and caring with her when training. She gave me the confidence to carry on with the training and the tips and tricks needed to do it. Would highly recommend.
