It’s been a while (9 years) since we took Maggie to Dogskool, it’s probably time we took her back to unwrap us from around her paw 😂 But Sarah and Dogskool definitely set her on the right path to being the lovely dog she is. I always recommend my friends and their friends to take dogs young and old there. Keep up the good work. ❤️

Sarah helped us with our boy when he started barking and becoming aggressive with other dogs, when speaking to Sarah on our first visit we realised the barking was fear and nervous behaviour rather than aggression and she taught us how to use positive training to train him to associate dogs with a positive response. I honestly couldn’t thank you enough Sarah we have a completely different dog, we are still training him now but Sarah has completely changed our dog, I can now confidently go for a walk with other dogs, no barking and a happy dog! Thank you!!

Sarah is great. my dog really responded well to her techniques. Sarah is proffesional and knowledgeable and I highly reccomended her.

We first met Sarah when we took our dog Lilly on a ‘Feisty Fido’ course which really helped us to gain confidence and find strategies to help with Lilly’s dislike of other dogs. We took our 10 month old rescue Bella to Dogskool’s ‘Puppy Class’ and Recall Class and we all loved it. Sarah came and did a 1 to 1 session last summer when Bella was being destructive and Bella now attends Beginner’s Flyball every Sunday and loves it. Sarah is really knowledgeable and very friendly.

I had heard about Dogskool from my dog walker and the various classes/fun sessions that they do. With me having a puppy - I opted to go on the Puppy Class for beginners. The location (Audley Community Centre) is great for parking and the session in ran in the community centre itself which was very pleasant. The trainers in the session are very qualified in what they know and made the session fun and engaging!! It also felt very relaxed and friendly as well with all us nervous dog owners. The techniques were a good starting point and gave me some confidence on how to communicate with my dog. Can't recommend Dogskool and their trainers enough!! Well done guys and keep up the good work.

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!!

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.
