"Together me and my dog Crumpet completed the behaviour progression course with Abbie, it was fantastic! We both absolutely loved our Thursday night training sessions, excited to see what we’d learn together each week.
The training was always full of fun, engaging and enjoyable. Each step of the training was very well taught by Abbie, explained and demonstrated clearly, full of encouragement and praise with no pressure to be perfect which is key with my crazy excited cockapoo. Highly recommend! 10 outta 10 woofs from Crumpet too!" - Sara. 2025
"We attended the July course run by Abbie and she is amazing! Not only do they help you practise good ways to train your dog she took time out to speak to everyone individually and give help and advice on any issues we were having that was not related to the training class. As there were 5 other puppies training at the same time it was good socialisation too in a group environment that was controlled but not too much. Cant wait to sign Gherkin up to other courses and hopefully daycare!" - Hannah. 2025
"We recently completed the introduction to mantrailing course with our 1 year old Show Cocker Spaniel, Mabel. I can honestly say it was one of my favourite things to have done with Mabel and I can't wait to book onto a progression course. Leading the session, Gee and Kris, were amazing at talking us through this new skill while it was great fun watching how the other mantrailing teams went about following the trails. Would 100% recommend to anyone!" - Rhys. 2025
