  • “Sian is very patient and explains everything clearly. She is always happy to answer additional questions and helped with individual issues we came across with our new puppy, Poppy.”

    Kay & Poppy

  • Sian was very patient and acknowledged the difficulties of having a new baby and also trying to care for Willow. Sian taught us how to manage our Willow’s behaviour and taught us new ways to help her express how she was feeling too

    Jess & Willow

  • We're really impressed with the content of the classes and Sian's knowledge, patience and ability to train us to train our 12 month old Labrador, Mabel. Mabel really enjoys the classes as much as we do. She's making real progress.

    Shaun & Mabel

  • Thank you! We attended loose lead training as our dog pulled and pulled. We now have focus and walking on a loose lead more than I thought was possible. I am so grateful. Thank you Sian

CLIENT REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“After just 3 sessions it’s like we have a completely new dog”

“Our black Labrador was a nightmare with lead walking and recall. Sian came to our house and talked to us about our concerns and offered us advice with a variety of things. She showed us different techniques and then came along on our walks with us and helped us put these in to practice, she was very supportive and our dog Buddy loved her!”
