Top 5 Dog Trainers in Thorpe St Andrew

We had a great experience with Thomas. He answered all of our questions that we had and gave us great tips and advice on training our dogs. We are working on all training tips and hoping that in the next 3 weeks we will see an improvement. Thank you :)

Today was a big day for Dude, and I just had to share how impressed I am with the training session he had with Thomas! From start to finish, Thomas was incredibly patient and insightful, really understanding Dude's personality and specific needs. Dude can sometimes be a little stubborn, but Thomas quickly gained his trust and made the whole session feel fun and engaging for him. It was clear that Thomas has a deep knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques, as he knew exactly how to work with Dude to reinforce positive habits and improve his focus. I noticed a huge difference in Dude’s behavior after just one session. He’s more responsive, calmer, and seems to understand commands better. What I loved most was how Thomas made sure to keep things positive, using plenty of praise and rewards, which kept Dude excited to learn. Overall, I’m so grateful for Thomas’s dedication to Dude’s training today. I’m looking forward to more sessions and seeing Dude continue to thrive under Thomas’s guidance. Highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking to train their dog!

We have enjoyed our training experience with Tom showing us how to get the best out of our dog Betsy. He has an upbeat cheerful way of training and Betsy really enjoyed it as well as us.Thanks Tom

Tom helped me look for my missing ferret out of the kindness of his own heart! Super nice guy and super clever dog!

Really enjoyed the puppy training classes. Thanks to Alison for her expertise and endless patience! Look forward to coming back for the next stage of the pups education.

I have recently had a one to one session, and am 6/7 sessions through my first term, and I'm booked to continue to the next! I can't recommend Alison enough, she is so knowledgeable and she has really helped me expand my own understanding in training my dog. She has also helped me support him successfully with his second fear phase, and I love that she promotes positive training approaches, and has taught me how to use a clicker properly! Alison always highlights that we do need to put the work in outside of class, that training is an ongoing need. I'm starting to see the results as my dog continues to improve in his obedience and the needed skills for him to succeed in life. At the start of the 7 weeks he was quite nervous, but he/we have become more and more confident not just being around other dogs when they bark, but also in his recall and his stay amongst many other commands. Lastly, if you have any other questions, Alison always has some great suggestions and other ideas, it's not all about the KC award! She has a lot of knowledge about dog sports and trick training too. Thanks for everything so far Alison.

We are very grateful to Ali for the help and advice that she has given to us in order to help our puppy. She was very friendly kind but firm with us We realise her training methods are on going every day in order for us to have a relaxed and happy puppy.

Highly skilled behaviourist, who is supportive and passionate about dogs! It’s a 5 star from myself and Bramble!

Definitely would recommend Alison if you’re looking to successfully train your dog in a positive way, she definitely helps to make training a positive experience, which helps to make training less stressful. She’s also helped out with my dog who can sometimes be reactive/anxious and following on from her recommendations, persistence and teachings, we can now successfully walk around the park/street with no problems.

Excellent course, great, responsive organisation

I have currently been enrolled for about a month now i am taking the DTCP3 program in September. I have been amazed at crash courses and programs on offer to me while i wait for my program to start! The learning platform is easy to get on with and support is as ways at hand. It is a amazing community to be apart of and would recommend any body wanting to go into a career in dog training or just want to learn a little more about the pet!

We cannot recommend Tamasine highly enough. We were really struggling to understand and manage our Spanish Rescue Podenco and at the point of sadly considering rehoming. Her approach and honest support has enabled us not only to safely keep our dog but to truly enjoy him and watch him flourish. Tamasine breaks her process down into manageable steps that make absolute sense and allow time for dog and family to really embed the learning. Most importantly for us, the process has built confidence, helped our dog trust in us and start to relax.

We inherited Billy after a family bereavement and at ten years old he could be reactive to other dogs and nervous with certain situations. From the very start of working with Tamasine not only were the improvements obvious we could see Billy loved learning the foundations and following the training was easy. Every video call was followed by thorough notes to help in-between sessions and feedback on the videos we sent was really helpful. The in person sessions with Tamasine really helped with understanding and just showed how much Billy had improved....he is a different dog and the guidance and help received from Tamasine cannot be understated. I would highly recommend Tamasine and it shows that a dog even of Billy's age can change mainly by allowing him to think for himself while looking to us for support.

What impressed me from the moment I made my initial inquiry with Tamasine was the support she gave me. I had so many questions and worries about my dog Bella which Tamasine was so happy to answer. Her communication and detail in her replies confirmed from the very beginning that I had found the right person. Her knowledge, passion and kindness filled me with so much confidence (I've never felt like that with any one else who I've asked for help). Since Bella was rescued as a puppy from Turkey, I also needed someone who has an understanding of street dogs. I learnt so much from Tamasine about street dogs and their different needs, therefore understanding why Bella was struggling. This really helped me to build a better relationship with Bella and to help her cope with her stress and anxiety. I also highly recommend Tamasine's online sessions. I know if Tamasine had come to my home at the beginning , Bella would have been very stressed, anxious and unable to learn anything. The online sessions enabled me to work with Bella for the full time knowing she was calm, relaxed and engaged. The sessions are very well structured and delivered with notes and further videos sent to you after. You have to put in the effort but I really enjoyed having focussed exercises to complete with Bella. When Tamasine did come to my home, Bella welcomed her in. Doing all the foundation work online really paid off. Thanks to Tamasine, Bella is now a happy, calm and confident dog. The techniques that I have learnt means that Bella is much happier on her walks. If I find myself needing to support Bella on a walk, Tamasine has gifted me a brilliant tool kit of techniques and approaches to use. I love our walks now.

We came to Tamasine for help with our Romanian rescue dog. Ziggy is a playful dog who is nervous around strangers and noise sensitive. When we adopted her she was sometimes too scared to leave the house. Ziggy has made great progress since working with Tamasine. What you get with Tamasine is not an attempt to tinker around with the behaviour issue. It’s about building a base (a bond and greater understanding of your dog) from which you can work on the issue but also apply these principles to so much more. The online sessions plus 2 follow-up face-to-face session model works really well and any queries we had between sessions were answered quickly and extensively. Ziggy has gained hugely in confidence and I think that’s largely because Tamasine has given us confidence. We would recommend Tamasine without hesitation. Thank you!
