Training Classes Nicola’s training classes were great! The pup was clearly excited each time to learn new things and to see Nicola! So many vital basics learned and we have come away with a good understanding of how to make a dog respond in different situations. With Nicola’s calm manner and years of experience to impart, we would recommend her training sessions for everyone’s furry friend! 

1-1 training: Nicola was a really supportive teacher, we saw quick results implementing new things with our 4 month old puppy. Nicola was calm and completely in control at all times and could really read our dog’s behaviour so well. We learnt a lot, from basic commands to how to extend these into more challenging situations and how to cope in the outside world on walks and meeting other dogs. Nicola is a joy to  be taught by and we both enjoyed the lessons.. would highly recommend! Will hopefully be doing more work with our dog in the future. (May 2026) 

1-1 and Training Classes Nicola initially did a home visit to help with Freddie our mini labradoodle who was biting a lot! This was very helpful and she also provided follow-up advice. 
We thenn attended her beginner and intermediate classes. I thoroughly recommend her classes – she always provides lots of helpful suggestions and advice, and were fun as well. Freddie really enjoyed them, he learned a lot and adored Nicola. 

Training Classes I have just completed the beginners and intermediate sessions with Nicola.It has been a great experience.It has helped Lottie with her training but it has also been so much fun.Lottie our dog can’t wait to get out of the car and start her training with the other dogs.Any questions Nicola is always ready to listen and give advice.I feel much more confident with Lottie and it has helped the children too as they have both enjoyed taking an active part in training. 

1-1 training Thank you Nicola for all your expertise and patience! We really enjoyed our lesson with you and Stanley is already gaining from the handling skills you taught us. Its so useful having the exercise sheets with all the tricks and lessons printed out so we can refresh our minds. You showed us Stanleys capabilities and we look forward to training him and see him blossom. Thank you again!!

Behavioural Consultation- Separation anxiety Nicola came to visit us at home to help with our 4 month old cockapoo who was having difficulty being left alone. I spoke with Nicola before she came to us to go through our issues and she was so reassuring and patient with me (as a first time dog owner I was worried that some of my queries were a bit stupid but Nicola never made me feel like I couldn’t ask). We also sent some footage of our puppy before our visit so that her behaviour (and ours) was demonstrated. Nicola camewell prepared with lots of treats and spent about an hour with us going through a variety of different techniques to use with our pup and what we as owners need to be doing in regards to making sure we are training our pup and not her training us! 
We only had one meeting with Nicola and she sent us a lovely follow up email which is now stuck on our fridge to remind us of what to and what not to do. We were also really grateful to have a follow up conversation a week after our meeting to ask how we have been getting on and giving further advise on areas that needed tweaking.  I have no hesitation in recommending Nicola for any of your doggy worries- I was so scared that we would have somebody turn up that would make me feel guilty for needing help with our pup but we was made to feel the complete opposite!! A really friendly, reassuring and helpful service that has helped us loads as first time dog owners! Thank you so much Nicola!
