Fabulous course. We learnt so much and felt at home straight away. The teaching is of high quality but delivered in such a friendly way, we couldn’t wait to go every week. Lovely friendly school. Thank you xx

Sarah has been absolutely great. We have just finished recall lessons with my French bulldog Gus. He decided it would be a fantastic idea to run into a field full of cows and try and play. The next day he then decided it would be a field with horses. This didn’t go down as well as the cows. With a baby on the way I contacted Sarah and she came to me the following week. She observed Gus and took lots of notes, then advised me on what to do with him and gave us activities to concentrate on. After 4 weeks of hard work and help from Sarah Gus now has a great recall and will listen to me when needed. Thank you so much Sarah. Keeping up the hard work with treats dotted all over the house and snuffle boxes and treat bottles everywhere!!

Dotty and I have just completed our Puppy Beginners class. We have loved each week and learnt lots! Sad it has come to an end �!

Sarah has been working on recall with my dog Rolo, I never thought he'd pick it up but with Sarah's help he's really getting there. Would definitely recommend, Sarah is brilliant at what she does, really friendly, and doesn't tell you off!

Sarah was AMAZING offering online help to something that had a massive impact on our lives. Sarah was very professional and fast at responding, her advise alone has helped more than she can imagine! Thank you Sarah!

I attended the recall session today and learnt some good basic tips, I will continue to practise and repeat the procedures learnt and am confident I will soon have an obedient dog that actually comes back to me. Nice friendly staff and plenty of room with only 8 in the class. My dog loved it and has slept all night! Thanks Dogskool �

Couldn’t recommend more! I booked the 1-2-1 training and it’s made a huge difference! Merlins coming on in leaps and bounds and he’s so much more obedient and responsive! Sarah was brilliant and I can’t thank her enough!

We think Sarah is amazing! We have been taking Oscar our cocker spaniel to a class for years now. The atmosphere is very relaxed but Sarah supports all the dogs and owners. From the way Oscar was to how he is now is definitely a credit to Dogskool and Sarah. Unfortunately at the moment Oscar is having physio and Sarah has been amazing recommending where to go and has put Oscar first rather than expecting us to still attend the classes. My husband Jake loves going every week and hopefully Oscar will be able to carry on soon. Highly recommended to anyone with a dog. Thanks Sarah �

Dogskool is an amazing experience for your dog & yourself, they support you 100% as they are informing you of your moves & actions they are walking around giving you guidance and encouragement. We would highly recommend Dogskool to everyone � we & Belle � have throughly enjoyed our time there, in fact that much that we have booked onto another course.

We took our 9month rescue Lab along to the Puppy/Beginners class and he absolutely loved it. The arena was safe and secure and the classes were a nice size for socialising the dogs. The trainers were really knowledgable and approachable and gave us great personalised tips on what to work on with our dog. On week 1 he was an absolute hooligan, but he’s now transformed into little superstar, we’re delighted! Thanks Sarah & the team x

We really enjoy bringing Lola to dog skool for puppy beginners class, the trainers are all really good and helpful, Lola walks so good on her lead when we take her for walks and she doesn’t pull, everyone always says how good she is when we walk her and she is well socialise and is friendly with other dogs, we love how knowledgeable the trainers are and always take their advice on board thank you :)

The service was incredibly impersonal. Very large class. Not child friendly. Just someone with a microphone screeching orders at the group. The Kennels suggested it would be good for my daughter to come to classes also, but Dog Skool did not support teaching children to train their pets, so we have gone elsewhere. Dog Skool does not deliver a personal service, as the group is so large, so no one comes to support you to correct the errors you make.

Very friendly, welcoming and fun. Amber loved it as much as I did. Fantastic recall strategies. Not expecting it to work overnight but I have every faith my pup will have perfect recall if I put into practice all I've learnt today. Thank you Dogskool - I shall definitely be booking other sessions with you.

I have taken both my British bulldogs to Dogskool puppy classes and fun classes. A breed that are known for being hard to train they have been welcomed at dogskool and have thrived on the positive methods used to become very competent at obiendiance and trick training . I would reccomemd Dogskool to any dog owner.

I highly recommend the puppy classes. Not only great for puppy socialisation but the methods taught were invaluable. The learning extends beyond the one hour sessions as there’s lots to practice at home. They really helped get my puppy’s ‘sit, lie down, wait, stay and recall’ down perfectly. He’s now five-months-old and comes every time I call him off the lead!

Freddie LOVES his Fun Obedience Classes,I take home one happy,tired dog. Sarah's calm, relaxed approach suits both dogs & handlers alike. Prior to this we attended her Fiesty Fidos course and following on with Sarah's invaluable advice & guidance I have seen a huge improvement in Freddie.

I have attended several of Sarahs classes and I have 2 very different personality dogs. I have a very nervous rescue who attended puppy class and he passed with flying colours! He suffers from nervous aggression so has attended her Feisty Fidos class, Sarah really helped me understand what was happening with him and we went a long way with helping him with his fears, she taught me how to help him going forward. My other dog is completely opposite and we have attended Mondays 'Dog Club' for couple of years now, she absolutely loves it! Her training has really improved, and is all done in a fun and positive way. We have also attended the Sunday 'Flyball' class and have gone on to compete. Sarahs classes are fun for both dog and human and would highly recommend them no matter what your dog's needs are.

I took my Cockapoo puppy here, it was great and we still use the training now. We also do the agility which is equally as good and great fun for the dogs �. I would highly recommend dogskool

Approachable, knowledgeable and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed our puppy obedience classes, such a brilliant way for our dog to learn some new skills, meet other dogs, and for us both to develop our bond together. Sarah and her team were always on hand with any questions we had, and we felt welcomed from the start. We'll be back soon. Absolutely worth the journey from Manchester!
