“My very bouncy unfocused over excited Labrador Harry and I have just finished our course with Raychel. I still have a bouncy excitable pup but the training we did with Raychel is paying off, the techniques we learnt mean I can get him to concentrate, walk on a loose lead and pass other dogs without it being a nightmare! Still work to be done but the basics are there and with practice, Practice, practice we will get there. Raychel understands and doesn’t condemn your bouncy pup , she just gives the confidence to keep trying until it clicks. Definitely worth doing the course.”

"Just finished a six week beginners course with my 1 year old Labrador, Bella. The classes were small, personalised and good fun. Raychel was very patient and knowledgable and clearly loves her job. I left with some valuable techniques and new knowledge which has made dog walking so much more enjoyable and less stressful. We will be back later in the summer for the next level of classes."
