Top 5 Dog Trainers in Stoke

I would love to thank David for all his imput as this was crucial in getting Grace my greyhound go up and down the stairs in the flat I live in as we are having a lift replacement in the building and Grace was terrified of the stairs. This was an amazing result in only two sessions and means we can stay in our home.Maggie Campbell

Great dog trainer very kind and patient. Saw a lot of progress after two sessions , would definitely recommend

Had 2 great sessions helping my dog who is reactive to new people and dogs. Taught new skills to help manage these situations which I will practice. This was explained well with written information to refer back to aswell

David was very helpfull and gave me some great advice for helping my goldendoodle. Thouroughly reccomend his services.

Had a great first session with David. Our dog is already showing signs of improvement in his anxiety and reactivity, very impressed! Extremely knowledgeable man and we look forward to working with him more in the future.

I rang quite a few companies before I made contact with Carrie. I realised with just a phonecall Carrie was a great trainer. I spoke to her for 30 minutes and this was before I signed or paid for any classes. She gave me her time and she was reassuring and supportive. Carrie is amazing with dogs, she's so compassionate about what she does and it shows, the way she was with our little golden pup, she adored her. We worked on leash training, re call and she showed us many calming games for our energetic little pup. I cannot recommend her enough. She's all around an amazing dog trainer and a kind genuine person. Thank you for all your help Carrie! ❤️

Carrie has been brilliant, working with Kibo's separation anxiety. It's hard work but Kibo has responded and progressed well in a relatively short time. Still work in progress but my emphasis is on "progress". Carrie also covered so many other aspects which have been a tremendous success.... training games, recall and Kibo's non-stop buffet habits whilst out on a walk. He's positively a different dog. Thank you Carrie!

I called Carrie mid-walk with my dogs to ask if she could help us as I was at a complete loss as to what to do. It was the best decision I could have made. We have two very different dogs, with one being very reactive on lead walks, which was beginning to have a negative effect on the other dog, and really affecting our walks. My Husband and I dreaded going on walks and didn't know what to do for the best. Carrie worked with us over a number of weeks, to really get to know us and our dogs. She taught us so many tips and tricks that I'm pleased to say had an almost instantaneous effect and we couldn't be more happy. Our walks have completely changed and are a joy again. There is still work to do but we have the tools to do this now. Thank you so much Carrie, from the Ross family

Carrie is excellent, she works out what you and your dog needs are, and tailors the training accordingly, being a first time dog owner she has been super helpful! Can't recommend enough!

Amazing, we really struggled when we got our crazy spaniel, Carrie helped us with teaching him to settle and be content in his crate which has been the biggest blessing. He was so scared of other dogs and we have now conquered that too his recall is perfect and for a spaniel that’s no easy task. Thank you for everything!!

Collette has been amazing. She came out to see our very nervous Staffie and helped us implement her Top Dog programme. She was non judgmental, listened to our concerns and my anxieties. She explained the theory behind training which gave us a better understand of what we needed to change and why. Me and Loki go for regular kinesiology sessions to further support the training and it has helped me gain a better understanding of my dog - what’s working for him, what I need to change. I would highly recommend Collette to any dog owner who is struggling and needs help.

We adopted out new puppy , Skipper, in May and immediately it became obvious that our older dog, Bob was not at all happy with our decision. We thought he’d get over it but as Skipper settled into the family and became more confident, Bob was getting more and more grouchy. Skipper was doing a bit of chasing the cat and generally being boisterous and getting into Bobs face. So we were recommended to Collette and we’ve not looked back since. She’s truly helped us understand canine behaviour and how to deal with it. How we need to behave so they understand us. The transformation has been staggering and now peace reigns in our house. We are so happy and life is getting better every day. Thanks so much Collette.

Our doggy loves spending time here when we go away. She has stayed twice now and we get regular updates , she is well cared for and loves going. It's so lovely knowing our lovely pooch is happy in a beautiful house and not a kennels where they can be caged and outside with only 2 brief walks. Thankyou Collette and family

Our dog Sparky went to stay with Collette and Jon for 8 days. He was well looked after and even had some walking training while he was there. We had regular updates and images of him while we were away. We wouldn't leave him with anyone else and were able to relax on our holiday knowing he was in good care. Thank you to Collette and family.

Margot can’t jump out of the car and hop towards Happy Hounds quick enough when she is dropped off! She has been attending daycare since she was a puppy which has been great for her. Emma and Duncan are friendly and knowledgeable and their training tips have been really helpful along the way. I have peace of mind when she goes to stay with them that she is being well looked after and I enjoy seeing all the dogs have a lot of fun on the videos and pictures that are posted.

Rey always has a great time waits at the window for the school bus to arrive 🐶

The best day care you'd want for your dog! Bella has attended Happy Hounds for a couple of years and loves spending time with her doggy friends every week and seeing Emma and Duncan. She spends holidays with them and has been known to go off to the beach with them on her own little holiday. We couldn't be without them and its definitely a second home for our Bella.

Our border terrier, Ralph, absolutely loves being picked up and heading off to his daycare. Emma and her team are truly fantastic! We enjoy seeing what he gets up to through the Instagram updates, which is especially comforting when we’re working away from home. Ralph has even stayed overnight when we’ve been on holiday, and he absolutely loves it. I can’t recommend Emma and the team at Happy Hounds Coventry enough. If you care about your dog and need reliable dog walking or care, they’re simply the best!

Gigi has been going to Happy Hounds for a couple of years now and she LOVES IT! Emma, Duncan and Halima genuinely care about the dogs and really put their hearts on what they do 🩷 Gigi is always happy to see them and absolutely adores them. They are always so reliable, punctual, and communicative, sending us regular updates with photos and videos that show just how much fun Gigi’s having. It’s clear that they treat her like their own, and I love knowing that she is in a safe, loving environment when we’re away. I can rest easy knowing she is in the best hands, safe, being well taken care and having her best life. Also the professional photos are a plus! 😍😍 Highly recommend!
