Top 5 Dog Trainers in Swinton

Clare and the gang are just great. We've done two courses and a workshop with them and they've all been great - lots of materials and support and just really practical. I've found it so reassuring be taught how to understand my puppy and concrete steps i can take to stop certain behaviours and develop others. We also had a home visit with Clare which sorted a problem we were having with our puppy nipping our youngest. Throughout all of this, the thing I most appreciate is how the team present and engage - they create a warm space to talk about all this stuff without being too judgy. A lot of the dog training world is pretty preachy and judgy and Clare and the team really help take that stress out of dog training while sticking too best practice force-free training informed by recent research. I recommend Clare to anyone who'll listen!

Had an absolutely amazing experience with CB Dogs with my French Bulldog puppy, on Puppy Foundations and I’d highly recommend them! Over the 5 weeks of the course we learnt SO MUCH! Not only do you get the weekly sessions but you also get access to some amazing online material and zoom q&a, for life to set your dog up the right way. All the staff and volunteers are so lovely, welcoming, professional and passionate - as are the other dog owners that attend. It really is a magical space! We can’t wait to return for some more courses and to make more pup friends!

We had a great time at puppy classes! We are first time dog owners and found these classes so helpful. The online training materials alone are fantastic and the in person sessions are a great way to practice training around other dogs. We also went to socialisation sessions which were really helpful and lots of fun. The difference before and after these courses has been so clear! Very many thanks to Clare and the team.

Fantastic training with Clare and the team. The sessions helped my puppy Dixie and I so much with behaviour and training basics as well as some fab tricks too. I also really appreciated the videos and extra resources that were provided in addition to the in-person sessions, and the ongoing advice and support we have access to post-training is so valued. Would highly recommend.

Mabel has just completed the puppy foundation course at CB Dogs. I highly recommend the course for all new puppy owners. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions etc. Excellent resources provided online to assist learning before each class, I found this and the pdf documents really helpful and I struggle sometimes with my memory so getting the information online in videos, via the pdfs and in person at the classes was a fantastic way to learn. We are looking forward to attending the progression course and workshops in the future.

We have been working with Dean to help with our rescue dog Mac’s reactivity. Dean is approachable and calm and immediately puts your mind at ease. He goes above and beyond and he treats our dog with compassion. We are getting so much from our session and we have seen improvements in Mac from day one. We would highly recommend Dean.

We worked with dean for our dog who is reactive and after just 1 session there was a major improvement, his steps were clear and concise and made us much more confident.

If you are in need of dog training, whether it’s a big or multiple small issues, Dean is the one to call. Firstly his passion for dogs and the love he has for them shines through and he is such a lovely person that you feel very comfortable with in your own home. The communication was faultless and the tips and advice he gave us were priceless and we learnt so much, even though we have looked through hours of content online! Deans teaching style is easy to follow, and his knowledge on dogs is amazing. We have completed a single course of 4 weeks and have learnt so so much! I can not recommend him more highly, he deserves more than 5*’s!! Thanks again Dean for all your help!

We contacted Dean as we needed some help with our Golden Retriever Maggie in that we were having trouble settling her at work and in restaurants, with her constantly barking and demanding attention. Going out with her wasn’t the amazing experience it should be but all that changed with Dean and place training. We can now go out anywhere with Maggie and actually enjoy the experience and Maggie is well behaved and enjoys the time too. We also did some work with lead training and walks as Maggie had a tendency to pull ahead. With both situations Dean listened to what we needed and then offered advice, we then started implementing the training with Dean watching and advising and praising. Maggie is our second dog but training has changed so much in that time, also you get settled in your ways and maybe loose a bit of confidence when it comes time to train a new puppy. What makes Dean so good is that the solution is always so simple it’s staring you in the face but he’s also training you to be a better dog owner and giving you the confidence that you can do it and that with hard work you can sort the issue. I would recommend Dean to anyone that has any issue. Thank you Dean we can’t thank you enough.

Erik, our golden retriever, did not walk well on the lead, was over reactive to other dogs and barked continuously. As a consequence of his behaviour when I walked him I had little confidence in controlling him and would become very anxious if we saw another dog. I avoided the park and his walks were quite boring for us both. We contacted Dean and asked if he could help us. Dean has been amazing. He has worked with us and shown us how to interact with Erik correctly and given us the necessary advice on how to deal with situations I would have avoided previously, for example, seeing another dog. His explanations about dog behaviour and why we need to put certain practices in place has been invaluable. Erik's barking is lessening but the major difference is in myself and the confidence I now have in walking and controlling him. He has pulling has all but stopped and he has learnt so much ; our walks are now full of fun and stimulation. I can't wait to start our next sessions on recall and have every faith that we will achieve the same fantastic results we have done so far. If you need any dog related help, advice or training, I would highly recommend Dean. He is a man who knows his stuff!

Great place, dog gets excited when we go & charges in to the place Been coming for 8 years & still the best place in the region, always friendly, great with dogs & great place

Very happy my dachshund has settled in so well, prices are very good too even if your on a budget 👍

An incredibly professionally run daycare and training centre. Our 3 chihuahuas adore this place! Excellent staff! Super safe surroundings and total commitment to every dog. A shining example for our k9 friends. Highly recommend!

We couldn't believe how good this trainer is. He gives lot's of advice and reassurance the difference it made to our dog walks is really good our dog does try her best to stick to her old habits but she settles down a lot quicker now and it's only been a few days.We were left with a training pack that is extremely helpful. We have used a supposed trainer with our previous dog and Ii have to say the difference is very clear. Dave was absolutely 💯 with his approach with both the dog and the humans I can't recommend them enough.

Walked my dog on his usual route,,showed me nothing I didn't already know,, and walked off £107 richer for 1hours training 🤔

Great service

I couldn’t thank sarah and ben enough for what they’ve done today with my 9 month old puppy today, there is a big change with him already with one session with him obedience and behaviour, thank you again you both are stars!
