  The reactive dog training course has made a real difference to my dog's reactive behaviour, it has also helped boost my confidence in dealing with situations that could cause reactive behaviour. I would highly recommend Danielle and her team.

  We rescued a young dog two years ago, he hadn’t been socialised and was extremely anxious about everything in the world. We were unable to walk him in areas where other dogs were. We have been with Love of Dogs for about 1.5 years now. I'm honestly amazed at how much I've learned and subsequently been able to teach my dog. Their online community is amazing & Danielle, Caroline and Caz are super quick to answer questions, it’s a place I can ask questions and post videos, and just get honest feedback and tips from the trainers and others who are going through the same problems. Training sessions are tailored towards me and my dog and no two are the same. Danielle is only a phone call away if things get overwhelming and listens with no judgment. Without LOD I would not be where I am today, and Colin may not be with us!

  I have been taking my French bulldog Chunk to Caroline for just over a year now. His behaviour has improved massively, and I am now more confident introducing him to other people and dogs. I am grateful for the work Caroline has put in with Chunk and I can’t recommend her enough.

  Danielle, Caroline and Caz are wonderful dog trainers/behaviourists. We are having a rough start with a difficult rescue dog, and without their guidance we would be lost! Always available for advice when you need them without judgment, and tackling every problem with a kind and positive approach. Couldn’t recommend enough!

  Missy has only had her assessment and her 1st 121 session, however I have already learnt so much about what she is trying to communicate to us, and am seeing small changes in her behaviour. I know we have a long way to go, but Caroline and team are so patient, calm and reassuring. I have previously used other trainers whose harsh methods I fear have added to Missy's aniexty, but I finally think we have found the right people to help us and look forward to seeing Missy's confidence grow. 😀

  Just been on a course with LOD about dogs and their body language. Have already been able to see when Ivy has been uncomfortable with another dog during play sessions, and dealt with it before it became an issue. As with any language, I’m still learning though! I would highly recommend the course if you get the chance. See their website for details of when the next course is going to be run. The teaching/ training sessions I attend weekly are both invaluable to me learning about my dog, but also to me personally. These guys are fully supportive of everything that happens on and off the field. So glad I found Love of Dogs. We’ll never have to go anywhere else for our dog training needs. They’re a brilliant, knowledgable, caring team. Thank you x

  I couldn’t be happier with the training and guidance Caroline has given over the months she’s been helping me with Bruce & Ralph. She’s not only helped them but she’s helped me understand them. I rescued Bruce & Ralph from a dog farm along with two of their brothers and sister. They were extremely malnourished, living in a shed amongst other things. They had zero social skills and terrified of people (especially men) Bruce has electrical burn scars along his tummy and I rescued him at just 13 weeks old. Caroline from the off was patient and took her time with them. We’ve gone from me not being able to walk them to me walking them both together a couple of times a week, Ralph has learnt to do little tricks through clicker training and Bruce has gone from not being able to leave the garden to going on 7 mile walks with a group of people. I couldn’t have got this far without her.

  Started the group training with my husky when he was about 8 months old, been there around 7 month and the difference is unbelievable, the trainers are amazing, very attentive, knowledgable and friendly, they take the time out to get to know your dog and what works for them, amazing value with a lot of options for sessions both in person and online, wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else, can’t recommend them enough.

  I contacted Love of Dogs at the beginning of the year after taking in a Shihtzu from a family that couldn’t look after her anymore. Peppa was very reactive and I was running out of options. The team at love of dogs have taught me how to understand my dogs body language and how to turn an uncomfortable situation into a positive one. We have come so far in the last 5 months and still have a way to go but I cannot thank the team enough for all their help and support!
