Top 5 Dog Trainers in Rochdale

On arrival was greeted as if we have been friends for ever.

We have been bringing our 3 year old vizsla Otis to agility for around 8 months. Gemma and Pam are amazing trainers who are extremely knowledgable in what they do and encourage us to get to the next step. We even were able to enter our first steeplechase last year! The facilities are excellent and if the weather isn’t so good we are able to work on equipment such as the weaves and the A-frame indoors. Simply animals are very welcoming, friendly and really push our dogs to do their best!

Gemma and Ryan are amazing. They walk my dog twice a week and she loves her time with them. I also attended puppy training classes when my dog was small and they really helped with her behaviour. Recently I was desperate for help when a relative passed away and we had to travel to Norfork for the funeral. My dog has never stayed away from home overnight but Gemma and Ryan stepped in and looked after her at very short notice. They are amazing and genuinely care about the best interests of the dog.

Great dog training facility, in glorious surroundings, with lovely people.

Our dog has been attending doggy day care at SA since she was 3 months old, she loves it and for us it’s the best day of the week as she’s socialising with other dogs and burning off some energy!

Great place great people with lots of help and support

Cant say very much as l only requested relevant information. Prompt response.

professional, knowledgeable and caring. Fantastic venue also. Really helped me understand my crazy dog more. Thanks Jane

Jane understands the dog and moreover she helps the owner to understand how to get the best out of their dog. Jane helped me train, love and accept my rescue pointer to the point that I can enjoy walks off the lead with him. She helped me notice my dog's inborn qualities and turn them to work in my favour so we can now enjoy each orhers company outdoor and indoor. I only wish I found her earlier. Jane is very clear and instructive in how she trains, she treats dogs with empathy and she really understand them. Her relationship with dogs seems to be special, like with a human friend. She just seems to know what they need, and interprets this back to the owner :). Thank you Jane xx

Andi is great. Learned loads.

Now this is long overdue! I do apologise! Andi is absolutely superb with training, behaviour, on the spot advice, reliability, punctuality she will not let you or your dog down. We have a Giant schnauzer who actually is giant even at 8 months old he loves Andi!!! We have been attending puppy class since he was 11wks and moved up to the overs after 6mnths! I am so grateful to have found K9 BOOT CAMP, we go every week and would go twice if we could. Andi has a no nonsense approach, she's extremely encouraging to us and the dog and seems to have a solution to every canine eventuality, good bad or indifferent thankfully!! anyone who's owned a Giant will understand! I can not recommend her enough to be fair! All her equipment, leads collars, toys, snacks (natural)are available to buy from her also, she actually is the one stop dog shop! And dog whisperer!! Really appreciate every single lesson we have had together,we still learn every week. I actually feel we have a great understanding and relationship with our canine friend because of Andi and Blue and Tucker!! A great big Thank you!!

I got my puppy into group classes as soon as she was allowed out after her injections and Andi has helped turn her from a menace into an (almost) functioning member of society 🐶

We have two German Shepards, one dog who is 2 years old and has hip displeasure and our puppy girl. We also had a little terrier who was 16 years old, but has gone over the rainbow bridge. When we lost the terrier, we had not realised how close the dogs were and our GSD puppy became very reactive. We did get a dog behaviourist who was recommended by our dog trainer. She came to the house, did not look at the dogs and spent about 60 min of telling us how bad things were, she told us the muzzle train her and get the vet to put her on tramadol. She did not contact us again, so when we chased her up, she told us Erin was not the dog for us and we should either rehome her or have her put down. We asked if she could rehome her as she worked with a dog trust, but she refused to help. Luckily when we were ordering some coal from Rochdale the lady that was taking the order got chatting about dogs and told us about Andi. We contacted Andi almost straight away, and she spent longer on the phone talking through the problems than to other behaviourist spent in the house. As a result, we booked Erin in for a block of sessions with Andi. At the first session with Andi, Erin was barking like mad and pulling to get to her. We did a short walk and very quickly started to get Erin under control. WE fitted a slip lead and Andi trained me how to use it. By the end of the first session, Erin has gone from improvement to improvement. We have had follow up sessions with the two dogs together and that is going well, we are now able to walk to two dogs at the same time. (one dog each). Erin has improved so much that we had the grandchildren visit and both were able to sit with Erin and she would let them stroke her as she lay next to them. I can not thank Andi enough for saving our little Erin

We got in touch with Andi, to help us with our new rescue German shepherd, Max. We chose the home visits as we wanted to see Max in his home environment and surrounding areas where we walk Our main aim was being able to walk him without being dragged over the hills, never to be seen again and Andi gave us the tips and appropriate lead/collar to be able to do that. She is knowledgeable, patient, professional and quick to answer any questions or queries, and clearly loves helping train people like me, because let's be honest, it's the humans, not the dogs who need it. Once you know the key to unlock your dog's potential, and you understand why they do what they do, it makes living and walking so much more enjoyable and harmonious. Would highly highly recommend Andi and K9 bootcamp.

I recieved advice on resocialising my dog after an attack. Very helpfull. They care about dogs more than making money. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our classes with Sue, she has taught us so much in such a short space of time. Mac is already a very obedient and well-mannered puppy thanks to the beginners classes. We are looking forward to seeing what other magic Sue can work on him in the intermediate classes! Thanks again for all your help Sue!! 😁
