Nelly is an absolutely fantastic dog trainer. She has a great knowledge and understanding of the needs and struggles of our Vizsla puppy. Nelly thinks on the spot and adjusts to the situation really quickly. After addressing some of our initial challenges, she often changes up her plan for the session depending on the bits that Marvin is struggling at the time. Marvin still has its challanges, but we can definitely see a big improvement since we started training with Nelly. We're confident he'll become a great dog with Nelly's help and we can't recommend her enough
Had a few Agility lessons with Nikki and find her to be very knowledgeable and patient.
Our trainer Nelly was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and our puppy loved her. The advice she gave was targeted to our individual needs and we have started our training journey. We will be returning and highly recommend.
Nikki is a fantastic dog trainer and also organises additional guest training sessions. The recent training with Emma Pullen was fab picked up some very useful tips on trust building with my cocker spaniel Maverick!

We signed up to the 6 weeks 1-1 training with our dog shadow and wow what a fantastic experience. He went from being anxious, nervous around other dogs, over stimulated with other humans and very excited on the lead. He struggled to settle and struggled in day to day life. Flash forward 6 weeks with Lauren and he is a happy doggy who is more settled, has a much improved recall, is comfortable in new situations and all together less anxious. He has progressed so much in 6 weeks and we cant’t wait to continue his training. Lauren made learning with shadow so easy, personalising the training to his needs and adapting it to his reactions. We have loved the sessions and I know shadow has too. It has helped him become so much more relaxed and has learned some amazing new skills to help with life when it gets too loud. Thank you so much Lauren we are very excited to come to group classes now and continue to progress with our training 😊
Just completed a 6 week private package with focus dog training. Lauren has been amazing with my French bulldog silva and we have all learned so much! I did not think it would be possible to see a difference in her such as pulling on walks or reactive to other dogs but she has. We still have a way to go but all the tips and tricks will definitely help us keep building on enjoyable walks together. Thank you!
We’ve had a really good experience with Focus from the start. Both Rach and Lauren have been super flexible with us which has been great and very much appreciated! You can tell just how much they actually care about the dogs too. Lauren has been a fantastic trainer. We’ve gradually built upon foundational skills over time. After each session she provides feedback and some homework which is great. We’ve seen a HUGE improvement in Cooper’s lead walking, and his engagement with us on walks. We’ve learned what does and doesn’t work for Cooper, and my confidence with knowing how to deal with tricky situations on walks has definitely grown. I’ve gone from not wanting to walk him on my own through fear of him being reactive, to being able to walk him on lead in public spaces and getting him to engage with me. We use the techniques taught by Focus daily and we’re happy with Coopers progress so far. We’re hoping with consistency he continues in the right direction 😊
Lauren has been amazing. We went into this process a bit sceptical but we have learnt things we never could have done reading articles on the internet. We have a deeper understanding as Lauren is full of knowledge and is super efficient during her sessions. They were also really understanding and flexible as we had a few personal issues so had to change a few sessions. Maggie (our 9 month old Cavapoo) has really enjoyed the sessions, and when Lauren was here was the perfect dog! We will continue to put in the hard work as can see the potential and changes in Maggie already.
Wonderful trainers. Really good and helpful advice about dealing with my reactive terrier Jeff. Could not recommend them highly enough.

I would definitely recommend Dawn. We have a Tibetan Terrier, who can be unpredictably reactive and we have worked with Dawn during the past few months. Dawn has given me lots of really useful strategies and has been unfailingly supportive and positive. Nessa is much improved and I now know what to do when she takes the odd backward step. There has been no pressure to book lots of sessions, but Dawn has always made herself available when needed. Thank you 🐶🐾
No longer in the doghouse has been fabulous in helping get our Sprollie Alora from lead walking nightmare to a happy pup walking off lead with great recall. no longer in the doghouse have been professional throughout spending lots of time observing and advising in the best ways to get Alora to walk nicely. Also great alternative courses for keeping your dog tired out with home activities when the weather's less than ideal for outdoor walks.
Would definitely recommend Dawn to anyone who needs to work through problems with their doggos. She is very calm and professional and follows the appointments up with advice which is helpful.
Excellent support and advice for both us and our puppy, can’t thank or recommend Dawn enough
Dawn was great really helped us get through a few tricky situations with our dog. Couldn't recommend her highly enough!
56 Sandbed Ct, Leeds LS15 8JJ
What can we say! If Bailey (our 7 month old Golden Doodle) could speak, I know he would express how much he loved the puppy training. Yes it was challenging at times when that leaf was blowing in the wind and the wonderful wet grass was just there to be rolled in! but it has to be said that we all took a lot away from it. Exceptional trainer (Nelly) who made everything simple (for us owners most certainly).
Nicky is a wonderful dog trainer highly recommended
We went to the agility classes, and it was so much fun! Our little dog loved it, it wore her out and gave her the opportunity to focus some of her energy. Lots of homework to do, and we hope to be back again soon
Nikki has been brilliant and so supportive in helping me train my 10 month old very boisterous puppy. We love coming to classes and would recommend her to anyone.
Our border collie Milo loves his puppy obedience class, basic agility lessons and Nikki! Nikki is knowledgeable, patient, professional and kind. She always has clear and easy-to-follow strategies and tips that as a first-time dog owner have been invaluable. She is great and I have already recommended her classes to other dog owners.

Adrienn is fantastic. She is always on time, reliable, trustworthy and most importantly our dog loves his walkies with her. Highly recommend.
Absolutely the best! Adrienn is reliable, caring, and truly loves dogs. My pups adore them and always comes home happy and tired. Fantastic communication and adorable photo updates every time—couldn’t ask for better care!
Adrienn is a lovely dog walker and has been wonderful with our border terrier - she took the time to come to our home to introduce herself and meet our pup before taking him on so that he wasn’t nervous going out with her for the first time, and we get regular updates/pictures from her equally lovely team during walks. Kind, reliable and trustworthy - would highly recommend.
I highly recommend Adrienn as a dog walker and dog trainer. Adrienn has walked our dog since he was 3 months old. She is so patient and kind to the dogs and is also an excellent dog trainer. She has provided one- on- one training sessions to help us with particular issues and house sat for us in the past. Adrienn is also extremely reliable and dogs just love her.
Adrienn is fantastic – I would highly recommend her! We started with puppy training, and she helped me (as someone who was very afraid of dogs) navigate having a new puppy. She guided us through crate training, lead walking, ‘leave’ commands, and so much more. We were so impressed and Rylan our dog loved her so much that we continued to have Adrianne take our dog for two walks a week while we were working. Her support has been invaluable!
