"We did the bronze scent detection course with Kris and loved it! We firstly decided to do this course for interaction with people and other dogs as Bella isn’t the most outgoing pooch since she was born in lockdown, it helped massively with her anxiety although still a little attitude! - Bella is a tiny dog (jackapoo) and originally I wouldn’t of thought such a small dog would be interested in the sniffer course but boy was I wrong! Kris and his team know exactly what to do and Bella was a little superstar doing better than I ever thought she would! It’s a lovely way to bond with your dog as well as teaching them to use their nose! Hoping to be back for the next one!" - Georgia Gotts. 2024
"Took my 6 month old miniature dachshund to the 4 week puppy training class here and loved every minute of it! Abbie is an absolutely amazing trainer and she makes sure to dedicate time to come round and see each of us individually and give us advice if we’re struggling or suggestions on how to move forward and progress, she is super knowledgeable and knows a lot about specific breeds, like my clingy little sausage.
I have left every session feeling more confident in what i am training my pup to do and feeling like i am doing what is best for her, especially being a first time dog wonder! Also met some other lovely pups and had an opportunity to socialise with them all. Would recommend to anyone, amazing class and perfectly priced!" - Charlotte Welch. 2023
“We just finished the silver scent course with our lab, Mabel, and it's been a great experience as always with Barkley & Co! The instructors including Gee are super knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to offer personalized tips for everyone on the course. Each week built on the last, and we saw real progress. Mabel loved it, and it was so rewarding to see her skills grow and her wagging tail as she did the exercises. Highly recommend this for any dog owner wanting to engage their pup in a fun and mentally stimulating activity!” Sophie. 2024
