Top 5 Dog Trainers in Whitchurch

Have used Emma on a 1-1 basis on a couple of occasions and also attended her classes. Her knowledge is amazing and her help with some issues have been invaluable . Highly recommend to anyone looking for help with training or behaviours that need addressing Emma is that person 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Attending the practical puppy course. The course was informative and fun for both us and the pippy. Emma is really supportive and always happy to answer any questions or concerns. Would highly recommend for first time puppy owners who want a little head start on getting the basics cemented early.

Emma has been a life saver today. I found a stray dog and brought him home to try and track down the owners. After no joy on the Facebook groups or with the Council, I found Emma on a website for scanning microchips. She came to the house straight away and got on with helping. The pup was taken to the dogs home and registered as missing with the dog warden. Emma was comfortable with the dog, clearly knew what she was doing. I'd recommend her services to all! Thanks again.

We ve been struggling with our 11 month old ES walking on a lead as its not enjoyable taking her out. She's very strong and pulls constantly and I ve been pulled off my feet several times. Also her recall is nt great.She only comes when she wants to. We d love to beable to let her off her lead, but couldnever see that happening. Richard has been working with Maisie for 2 weeks so far. She s had 2 x 4hr sessions each week concentrating on her walking and recall using a long lead which gives her the freedom to explore. The change in her is incredible. Rich keeps us updated with videos when he s out and about with her and we meet up towards the end of a session to see her progress and for us to learn what to do. We highly recommend Richard and wish we d found him sooner. Maisie seems to adore him and i know she's safe and in the best possible hands to be trained.Its amazing to watch Maisie responding to Richard and she loves her training sessions We re going to continue her training as there is still a little more work with her recall before we are confident to let her off lead. We can t thank Richard enough.

I contacted Rich to help with my anxious dog who had begun to show signs of resource guarding me. Rich came to my house and quickly and accurately assessed the situation. During his home visit we discussed undesirable behaviours and ways to change these. He provided advice on improving my dogs confidence and also demonstrated how to implement strategies in order to help her make better choices. The next day I received a written report detailing our discussions. Having been implementing his advice for several months now, I can happily report we are both much happier and more settled. And I am confident I have the necessary tools to deal with any instances of resource guarding should the arise again.

Contacted Rich about 4 weeks ago about concerns with my 20 month old male GSD very bad reactivity. Initially Rich came to see Harvey in his own environment and carry out a behavioural assessment. Within 24hrs, I was in receipt of his assessment and then a training plan was implemented. Harvey has been having 2 x 4hr sessions with Rich on his own for the last 3 weeks and the difference in his reactivity is incredible. Harvey is now so much confident in being near and around dogs it has made walking him so much more enjoyable than the stressful event it constantly was. Due to the results so far, Harvey is going to continue with Rich who is now going to work on being able to attend coffee shops, pubs, beer gardens etc and continue the journey in getting the well balanced and confident dog that is in him. I cannot recommend Rich enough as apart from the results with Harvey so far, Harvey has bonded with him and it so pleasing to know that you are leaving you bestie with someone who takes really could care of them. Rich is my 4th trainer trying to deal and correct Harvey's reactivity and I only wish, I could have known about and employed his services a year ago. Thanks Rich for everything so far👍👏👏👏

After just four hours with Rich I can now see a practical way forward in what I thought was an impossible situation with my Jack Russell. His extreme sensitivity to noise gave him crippling anxiety, which has made walking him anywhere on the lead outside near impossible. Within hours Rich gained full control of my dog and had him walking on the lead next to him in a totally controlled manner. My dog enjoyed being outside for the first time in a very long time (even with cars passing by) - it was wonderful to see. I feel positively inspired to move forward with the things Rich taught me with a totally new outlook on the situation, whilst balancing the personal stresses of life. I could not thank him enough.

Rich was amazing. After a big character change in our all dog loving pup, from over loving everybody without manners, to reactive and what appeared to be aggression. I was beside myself, many tears and too anxious to walk him anymore by myself. Of course blaming myself thinking what I may have done wrong to do this. Rich was non-judgemental, calm, not pushy to sell his service whatsoever. I am so pleased we chose Rich as Arnie was at ease with him right away, we have already started seeing a positive difference, and I feel more confident. HIGHlY recommend x thank you x

Dog walking is a real skill we have every confidence in Ben and the team. They pay attention and learn about each dog and their unique personalities. Would highly recommended and only trust our dog with this team.

These guys are great - Mabels has a particularly soft spot for Ben and has been loving going out with him once a week for a couple of years now - it’s great socialising for her (plus a bit of free training) Would highly recommend even if your dog gets other regular walks.. they also do really fun training events and one on one - thanks guys!

We have used Walk Wag Play for both training and walking since getting our rescue pup! They have been really helpful in supporting our understanding of our dogs reactivity and the 1to1 session was amazing. They are totally reliable and have our nervous dog walking with others which is so nice to see on the photos they share after each walk. 100% recommend and shout out to Edee for app your help 🤩.

WalkWagPlay trained and looked after my golden retriever Archie for the best part of 1 year - until we sadly had to move away from the area! Archie will definitely miss his weekly playgroup fun and pup-friends. I always felt he was in the best of hands with the team and couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Our dog (Big Mac) has been going on walks for a few weeks now, and I just wanted to say how happy we are with WWP so far, you guys have gone way past our expectations and done such an amazing job with Big Mac. On every occasion he’s come back from a walk he does not get up until it’s food time, which is how we know he’s had plenty of exercise/play. There have also been occasions where I would not have known he’s been through mud and puddles if it wasn’t for the pictures the guys send post walks. The team does a fabulous job making sure he’s nice and clean/dry when he’s back at home. We love seeing Big Mac’s updates and what he gets up to on the day. Thank you & the team for a great job.

Amazing x

Brilliant, will hopefully join more classes in the future (:

I have a tendency to waffle so I’ll just say this…stop your search for a dog trainer because Kahla is the best! As long as you listen to what she tells you and apply it consistently, you will be surprised at what you and your dog can achieve. I saw an improvement with my dog’s behaviour after just one session and a couple of weeks of applying what we had learned. The courses are also fantastic as are Jenny & Gabby and I’ve always felt in safe hands with all of them. Can’t really say enough, thanks from me and my monkey Clarence :)

We had a really good 1st experience with Kahla regarding our 1 year old rescue Lurcher cross. Our dog is not aggressive but he gets overly excited. He becomes super focus and if other dogs is close he will whine, bark, bites his lead and do somersault. We have no luck getting his attention. Kahla gave us a really good exercise to do with him when going on walks. She was really knowledgeable and gave us tips specific to his breed. The session was so fun and she put everything into context for us.
