Adam is a 5 star trainer… this has only been our first session and our dog has completely changed. I’m mesmerised by the change and looking forward to the next 9 sessions… I highly recommend 100%…
In our first 2 hour session with Adam, we saw a huge improvement of our dog Benji’s behaviour. While previously he wouldn’t sit or stay and would weave while walking, after this first session we already were able to get Benji to listen to instructions, socialise with other dogs safely and stay calmer. We also feel like better dog owners with a better understanding of his behaviour from all the information we were provided. We cannot wait for the rest of our sessions and to see Benjis progress. Adam’s direct and concise approach was consistently backed up by his wealth of knowledge and clear results. All the other edit owners we met were so happy with the progress their own dogs were making.
Within 2hours Adam had helped my daughter calm our dog down and start to train her, she went from an aggressive, scary, very vocal stressed dog to a whole new dog i honestly thought i would never see!! In a huge pack of lots of other dogs of all sizes and temperaments my dog was walking around with and doing commands when asked once. Not only that Adam helped us to understand more about our ways as owners but never made us feel like we was awful for the things we had tried to do just explain in simple terms which helped us to understand and change our ways to support the training! Im excited for the next lot of training sessions now and more so excited about actually being able to take my dog for a walk without all the stress behind it for both of us! I cant recommend anyone better than these trainers!!
I recently enrolled my dog, Sherlock (27 months old), in MidlandsGrizzlys' dog school, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Sherlock started with the first ten sessions focused on obedience training, followed by the off-lead programme. The transformation has been remarkable—he's now a stable and well-behaved fur baby, ready to be a positive member of society. The experience has been fantastic, not just for Sherlock but for me as well. It's a brilliant way to get out and meet a wonderful group of people who share a love for dogs. Adam is savvy and genuinely cares about each dog's progress, making the sessions enjoyable and effective. If you're considering dog training, I wholeheartedly recommend MidlandsGrizzlys. It's more than just training your dog it's about building a community and enjoying the journey together. Give it a go—you won't regret it!

Very happy to endorse Bob and Anne at Delta One Canines dog training. Our 4 yo Cocker Spaniel took the 8 week basic training course to KC Good Citizen Silver Level. One-to-one sessions with Bob allowed the course to be tailored to our and the dog’s needs and we definitely benefitted from Bob’s “real world” approach. We are now looking forward to participation on the Scenting/Searching For Property course.
Our smart girl passed her Bronze Test today 🏆 Thank you to Bob for helping us over the last few months, can’t wait for the Silver. If anyone is looking for an ethical, positive only trainer than I highly recommended Bob 👍 he has so much knowledge.. we would have been lost without him over the last few months. Our sessions are 30 minutes… can you find 30minutes once a week to train your dog for a better future for you & your companion? The answer is YES 🐶
Highly recommend Delta One Canines after just completing the 8 weeks obedience training with our dog Koko. Bob is very clear with the instructions and makes things simple to understand.
Completed the 8 week basic training with my Cockerpoo pup, Lily and Anne the trainer. The training sessions were pitched at the right pace and allowed me to continue the training in the weeks between lessons. I have gone from having a puppy who didn't focus on anything and preferred to chew her lead to now having a pup who can sit, stay, comes back when I call her etc. Excellent Thankyou for giving me the tools to continue her training.
Very experienced trainers offering helpful and realistic advice can’t wait for the next step on our journey

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.

Had my first session with Forrest who worked with my 9 month old Doberdor. She engaged with him and I saw his leash walking progress there and then. Forrest gave me the tools that I needed to understand the way my dog thinks and I continued with her advice and techniques. Just two days after our session I was able to take my dog for a walk with him walking beside me without the need for his harness. I highly recommend Forrest!
Forrest came out to work with us and our 10-month-old puppy, Doug, who we’d been having a few challenges with. She took the time to discuss Doug’s behaviour and listen to my concerns. Throughout the session, Doug was completely engaged and seemed to have really clicked with Forrest. You can tell Forrest has extensive knowledge and her clear explanations made it easy for me to understand what to do. She took the time to answer any questions. Thank you so much Forrest for your guidance and advice! :)
Absolutely Brilliant, really knowledge, friendly and helpful Thanks again see you soon
Forrest is amazing with the help and support she has given in the first session. Given us something to work on before booking another session Thank you
Forrest visited our home and met Solomon our 9 month old Gerberian Shepsky. We asked for help with his nipping/mouthing/lead biting and various other things. Forrest listened and asked lots of questions about Solomon She really understood him and how to get the best out of our pup. We've been shown games to play to reduce the unwanted behaviour and so far so good. Forrest is coming for a walk with us next time to work on things like lunging and pulling. I know she'll have great advice and she'll be good company at the same time. She is a doggy genius!

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!!
Finding qualified dog trainers in Willenhall means connecting with professionals who understand the specific needs of this historic Staffordshire town. From training puppies near Memorial Park to managing reactive dogs along the Wyrley and Essington Canal, our certified trainers deliver personalised obedience training, behaviour modification, and puppy socialisation programmes tailored to local conditions.
Serving Willenhall town centre, Short Heath, New Invention, and surrounding areas across WV12 and WV13 postcodes, we've successfully trained over 1,800 dogs in the past eight years. Our expertise addresses the unique challenges of dog ownership in this close-knit community, from navigating busy Walsall Road to enjoying walks through local parks and green spaces.
Willenhall presents distinct training requirements shaped by its mix of traditional terraced housing, modern estates, and accessible green spaces. The town's compact nature means dogs frequently encounter other canines during daily walks through Memorial Park, along canal towpaths, or around Spring Bank, making proper socialisation and recall training essential for peaceful community living.
Our trainers specialise in addressing challenges specific to Willenhall's urban environment, including traffic desensitisation along the busy A454, adapting to life in terraced properties with shared entry ways, and building confidence around the diverse activity found at Willenhall Market and local shopping areas. We understand that many local residents rely on nearby Bentley Park and Fibbersley Nature Reserve for exercise, requiring dogs with reliable off-lead behaviour and excellent recall.
Our puppy programmes focus on the critical 8-16 week socialisation period, introducing young dogs to Willenhall's environment including traffic noise, market activity, and canal-side distractions. Training covers house training for traditional housing, basic commands, lead walking, and controlled socialisation in local parks, building confident, well-adjusted dogs from the start.
We address leash reactivity on narrow pavements, barrier frustration common in terraced properties, and fear-based responses using positive reinforcement techniques. Progressive training in controlled environments throughout Willenhall helps dogs learn calm responses to triggers, replacing unwanted behaviours with focus and self-control.
For dogs ready to progress, our advanced programmes develop reliable off-lead control essential for safely enjoying Memorial Park and local green spaces. We train solid recall despite distractions, distance commands, and advanced lead work, ensuring dogs respond reliably in varied environments from quiet residential streets to busier town centre areas.
Dog training in Willenhall typically costs £35-65 per hour for private sessions, with package deals offering better value at £240-450 for 6-8 week programmes. Group classes generally cost £10-18 per session, while comprehensive puppy courses average £120-220. Local trainers often provide free initial phone consultations.
Begin training immediately when bringing your puppy home around 8 weeks old. The critical socialisation window between 8-16 weeks makes early exposure to Willenhall's environment essential. However, dogs of all ages benefit from training—adult and rescue dogs can learn new behaviours regardless of their history.
Addressing reactivity requires systematic desensitisation and counter-conditioning. Identify your dog's threshold distance and work at ranges where they remain calm, rewarding focus on you. Use management strategies like visiting Memorial Park during quieter times and choosing wider paths initially. Most dogs show improvement within 6-10 weeks of consistent training.
Professional dog training in Willenhall creates well-mannered, confident companions perfectly suited to local life. Our evidence-based programmes combine proven techniques with knowledge of Willenhall's unique characteristics, from canal walks to community parks. Whether you live in Short Heath, New Invention, or Willenhall town centre, investing in professional training ensures your dog becomes the reliable companion you've always wanted. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation and start your journey toward a perfectly trained dog.
