Here's what clients have to say 

I knew very little about how to treat a rescue dog and particularly one so lively as a young English Springer Spaniel who was most likely been trained to the gun.

 

I have found Sue’s approach and instruction invaluable in my understanding and behaviour. I particularly like the approach of trying to understand how a dog can learn and what it needs to understand commands and how to put them in a way that it is attractive to them to obey – rather than trying to use brute force!. …most of this was not obvious to me.

 

Despite an absolute genetic (and possibly trained) desire to flush out Purdy is coming along very well and is really listening to me now and after almost 3 months I am getting more and more confident that she will come back to me on command once she has had her run and unless she is TOO excited she is so much better on the lead. As Sue says it is early days and as long as I am consistent I am seeing improvements almost daily.

Training has been fun for all of us, both dogs and handlers.

 

For us (but probably not for you) the small classes are a real bonus.

 

Hardy and Sue have done some of the Good Citizen Tests in the past and found them a very useful target/gauge of progress.

 

We drive 13 miles, past the venues of several other dog training classes to get to Swanage and think it well worth while
