Brilliant 1:1 puppy training @ Daniels Dogs! With us being first time dog owners, Lucy provided lots of tips and advice to help us with our gorgeous cockapoo Nala! Lucy visited us on 4 occasions, and provided lots of training games for us to do with Nala all focused on being fun for both you and your pup. Handouts are provided as well, so you can look back on following session, if you forget how to do some things. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for 1:1 training!

Very helpful puppy training with Lucy, loads of good idea's and tips, especially with teaching my puppy to get on with my older dog and cats. Recommended training always nice to know you have someone you can discuss your difficulties with.

Lucy has been amazing in helping me a few times with my permanent foster GSDx (who is an older chap). As he was rescued from a kill shelter in Spain, he has a lot of anxiety from previous trauma and that can sometimes overwhelm him. Lucy has been amazing at giving me guidance with him, practicing recall and generally supporting me in giving him some fun games to do that will ultimately improve his life with me and give him some focus when life gets a bit scary for him. Thanks so much Lucy!

Our dog training experience with Lucy has been very positive and both I and my 1 year old rescue Cavapoo have really enjoyed our sessions and learnt a great deal! We used our sessions to focus on encouraging my dog to feel relaxed and settled before working on lead walking, anxiety reduction, greeting others calmly etc which has been so helpful. Lucy has a thoughtful, patient and supportive style and is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would totally recommend her services!

Following my intuition of some one on one training we found Daniels Dogs. Lucy came to our home four times. She was clear in her tuition, understanding of problems and caring yet concise in how to deal with them, always compassionate to the fact little 10 month old Munchkin is an adolescent puppy and will have his “moments”, and listened to me when I had my own “low self esteem” moments I am sure many puppy’s parents experience. We enjoyed the games, the long leads and the treats especially. I have a far better relationship with my pup and he is more secure with us. I would recommend as this type of training feels bespoke, kind and understanding of your pet. Ours was the “Teenage Tyrant” package, and we looked forward to each session at home or the park.

I had my consultation with Lucy last weekend. I’ve been wanting to train my dog for a few months as he has become dog reactive but always put it off. Lucy asked a lot of questions and really got to know my dog. She was really friendly and not patronising in the slightest (which I was worried about when using a trainer). I can’t wait for our next training session and hoping what she’s taught me will start to make a difference. Really impressed.

Lucy has made a massive difference to Poppy’s (our golden cocker spaniels) life. We have learnt valuable skills as dog owners that we can continue to use through all of our lives. You could always see instant results from Lucy’s training methods. We would strongly recommend, and if we ever need any assistance in the future we would not think twice about contacting Lucy.

We did a four session puppy training course with Lucy and it has been such a help in making sure that we are getting into good habits right from the start. The sessions were really personalised, with Lucy asking about the particular issues or questions we had and then giving us clear and easy activities to do, she demonstrated them and checked we were doing them right so that we were confident to do them ourselves and she also sent through helpful guides so that we could double check anything we had forgotten. She explained the reasons behind our pup's behaviour too, which helped us the understand exactly what behaviours and responses the activities were trying to promote and this helped us to be patient and clear about rewarding the right ones. Our pup is doing really well and we feel much more confident about supporting their development- and that's all thanks to Lucy 🙂

Lucy has helped us so much in making a start with training our adolescent dachshund. Due to working patterns we were unable to start training as early as we wished, but luckily we found Lucy who gave us a really good place to start when we had been feeling it was too late. We decided on going for the full package on a 1-2-1 basis. From the first time she came to the house, you could see that she really cared about helping both us and our dog live a better life together and she was always so switched on with being able to pick up on bad habits we had got into with our training methods and suggesting ways to carefully correct these with a focus on things that last as opposed to quick fixes. She was patient throughout and always used the most positive and welfare focused methods. We went from a dog that would not walk at all on the lead, to a dog that now can’t wait to go! She was always willing to give lots of advice around what we could work on in between sessions and has worked on lots of different areas of his behaviour. The email support was absolutely priceless and helped us keep on track between sessions. With the advice on our dogs well-being, she also advised we had certain things checked out with the vet, which lead to early identification of problems that we can now hopefully have caught early enough for preventative measures. We cannot recommend Lucy enough to others and wouldn’t hesitate to book in some further sessions if needed in the future.

Working with Lucy from Daniels Dogs has been priceless in understanding and working to help my extremely reactive 2 year old Black Lab cross. Understandably it will take time and consistency to keep building on what we have learnt with Daniels Dogs, but I saw a remarkable difference in his overall calmness (without his triggers) in the first 2 - 3 weeks. A much more relaxed and confident dog was beginning to emerge, and I felt a lot more sure about his reactivity behaviour and Lucy helped me have a much better understanding of how to support him correctly and understand what was going on for him. I only wish I had contacted Daniels Dog first, before trying to implement more punitive, control training advice which had just made it worse for him. I am so relieved that I got in touch with Daniels Dogs and got the correct approach and strategys that have made him so much more relaxed over all. I do feel that we are finally on the right track and I have had the right training and instruction from Lucy to continue moving forward positively. I would definitely recommend getting help from Lucy at Daniel's Dogs. Thank you Lucy!
