Dorsetdogtraining Avis 

We attended our second adult dog social with Dorset Dog Training this week and enjoyed our time immensely! The lovely trainers are full of advice and knowledge - I learned a lot about dog behaviour and it gave me some insights into my own dogs view of his world. The sessions are well managed and I feel more confident in recognising and understanding the interactions we might have when meeting other dogs on our walks or in other social settings.

We started obedience training with Azurite from a very young age — from session 1 and now progressing through session 3. We have three dogs, but she’s the only one we trained properly from a puppy, and the difference is very noticeable.

While the others might wander off and get distracted, Azurite always stays close to us. She’s very well behaved, her recall is strong, and she’s learned a lot.

With our other dogs, ehwn they were puppies we focused mainly on socialisation, but honestly, that alone isn’t enough. Proper training from the start really sets you up for a much easier life with your dog.

Both trainers we’ve worked with, Annie and Sarah, are fantastic and very experienced with dogs. They truly understand dog behaviour and guide you through each step of teaching your puppy new commands. They also explain your dog’s body language and support you individually if your pup is struggling with certain tasks.

Very highly recommended!

Very happy with the instructions from trainer . Learnt actually quite a lot from her with my German Shep and I thought I was quite experienced .
Thank you and look forward to next week

I went to Dorset dog training feeling quite anxious about the outcome, Sarah very quickly put my mind at rest, she was very thorough with researching my dogs history and observed his behaviour while keeping me fully informed, I honestly came away with a full understanding of of my dogs rank and how to move forward making him a happy boy and myself a more confident owner, we now have the tools to make life so much happier for us both, I couldn’t recommend them more, absolutely fantastic !

I feel so welcome when I go my dog loves the instructors especially Annie. I am very happy with all the help and support I get. I ave been taking my puppy since he was 4 months old and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

No nonsense, common sense and balanced training from knowledgeable hands on experienced trainers . Would recommended every time

Both our dogs have been trained by Sarah and Annie and cannot recommend them highly enough. The training sessions are practical and enjoyable - although I think its us that need to be trained more than the dogs sometimes!

Had an assessment with our rescue puppy ... after about 20 minutes, we had him walking to heel ... after pulling me over previously. Can't wait for our next session. !

We are currently halfway through our experience with Dorset Dog Training on Puppy Obedience Stage 1 and finding it so useful! Annie has been fantastic with our energetic cocker spaniel. The classes really help set us up for training at home and Archie has come on leaps and bounds since the classes.

We were recommended Dorset Dog Training by family and we are so glad we chose them.

Annie has been fantastic. I’d highly recommend the puppy classes. She is really knowledgeable and responsive even if you need to ask a question outside of the classes. We will be going to the next stage of puppy classes.

I cannot recommend Sarah & Annie at Dorset Dog Training highly enough. We have had Annie running the puppy obedience classes we go to. She keeps very calm, explains everything carefully, checks you have understood. She is happy to answer questions and spend time afterwards with you if necessary. Sarah has helped us with the puppy "blues" on a one to one basis. She explained clearly why the behaviour was happening, where she felt work needed to be done and how. She was very honest even if it could be a tough listen. She has been patient communicating with us with any questions or concerns we have had going forward.

We took our puppy to Dorset Dog Training classes for the first time yesterday. They were very helpful and patient with our unruly puppy. We will definitely be going back. I would recommend Dorset Dog Training so anyone else who needs help in training their puppy.

Fantastically supportive, helpful &
really knowledgeable. Both Sarah & Annie are able to convey that knowledge & understanding of dog behaviour, to you, in the perfect way, making it easy to understand and apply. I'm already seeing great results.
Thanks ;)

Excellent knowledge and guidance, me and my dog loved the puppy classes and will be returning for gundog training later.

Good, practical advice matched perfectly to the needs of my dog.

Sarah impressed us greatly. Her expertise was evident as she quickly understood my dog's behavior. She provided straightforward and detailed advice, giving me confidence in a more peaceful and joyful future. Dorset dog training comes highly recommended.

I have taken nine dogs to eleven different classes over the last thirty five years and this is one of the best.
Sarah has a down to earth practical approach to dog training and is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of dog behaviour.

We attended the adult dog social group . Although the field was very muddy after a lot of rain it was great to see the dogs running around chasing each other in a safe space. Sarah and Annie were on hand to de-escalate anything if needed , but all the dogs got on really well , it was a joy to watch them having a great time

Very efficient, easy to book

Sarah is very knowledgeable and personable, made me feel assured in understanding the needs of my Dog. Honest straight to the point and assuring regarding the road ahead for my Dogs training.
