Bella's Owner (2y/o Bulldog)

★★★★★

My dog used to overreact to wheels, pull on the leash, and get so distracted on walks. Since working with Beth, she's been patient with my pace and making much better decisions about her reactions. I felt completely understood about my dog's needs and supported the whole way through. Beth is so patient with both dogs and owners, and my dog felt totally comfortable with her from the start. Just book it, you won't regret a thing!

★★★★★

I had a new boisterous puppy, a young energetic household, and a husband who worked away a lot, so I felt a little overwhelmed. Beth's combined walk-and-train approach was exactly what we needed. Billy's still a young, energetic golden, but the consistency of training has given us great baseline habits to build on. I felt supported, understood, and back in control. Beth always arrived with a smile and such a positive, relaxed attitude. Billy would literally jump with excitement every time she walked through the gate. Just do it, you and your pup won't regret it.

Leah & Billy ( 2 y/o Golden Retriever)

★★★★★

I wanted to give my puppy Mushu some real structure and routine. Since starting classes, he's so much more responsive, and I finally understand how to help him feel secure. Even when our training slacked at home, Beth made me feel like I was still doing all the right things. She's so warm and kind, and truly appreciates every dog for who they are, she loves them as much as I do. Classes were fun and comfortable, and I always felt supported enough to ask questions. Don't hesitate, even just a chat with Beth puts you at ease. I'd definitely recommend her classes.

I got a new puppy and started with puppy classes, then wanted to continue. I'm hoping to pursue animal-assisted therapy with August one day, so every bit of training helps. I feel so much more confident managing both familiar and new situations, giving him lots of learning opportunities. What made it special was trying different things in a safe, non-judgemental space, at our own pace. Beth is approachable, honest, and explains things so clearly, with plenty of chances to practise in class and tips for home. I always felt comfortable asking questions, and I'd definitely recommend her group classes.

We just wanted our puppy Goose to keep learning. He started at 20 weeks, and Beth's perseverance through a very distractible teenage phase really set him up for success. She always helped us feel understood, validating both the good and bad days, and took the time to understand what was happening at home as well as what she saw in class. We couldn't have found a better match for Goose's challenging personality, the personal touch made all the difference, since Goose truly loves Beth. Book it! You'll be more confident, your puppy will develop, and your bond together will grow so much stronger.

Moose was my first dog, and I wanted guidance to prevent behavioural issues, continuing into group classes since he's very dog-orientated. He's now far more focused on me and can make his own decisions around other dogs. He used to force play on other dogs instead of using proper play bows, but learning about dog communication taught me when to step in. Now he initiates play politely, and I can take him to cafes and on walks without the stress I used to feel. I felt so supported, with zero judgement, it was amazing. My advice: trust and follow the guidance completely.

I've been coming to Beth's classes since Bear was a puppy, and now we just come for the fun of it! He's so much more engaged with me, and we both get real enjoyment out of our sessions. I always feel extremely supported, and Beth guides me in the right direction whenever I feel frustrated. She has so much knowledge, patience, and understanding, and her sessions are genuinely fun. I love the social side of it too, and I can tell Bear loves it just as much. Don't even think twice, book her before she's fully booked out!

I wanted the best possible relationship between my Cavoodle Bodhi and the rest of the family, and I believe training and positive interactions are the way to get there. Our relationship is beautiful now. She can sit, drop, and come when called, with lead-pulling and barking still a work in progress. I felt so supported throughout, and Beth was endlessly approachable and patient with my questions. It was worth every penny, with great outcomes for both of us. The demonstrations, the chance to practise in a supportive setting, and the feedback made it all so worthwhile.

I needed help teaching my exuberant, friendly puppy some good manners on walks. He's so much more relaxed now, greeting people politely instead of jumping, both in the house and out. I went from feeling stressed with zero confidence handling him, to feeling ready for any situation. Beth helped me adapt techniques whenever I needed it, it felt like training with a friend rather than a formal session. It's money well spent, and so worth the time invested in a dog with genuinely good manners. I'd definitely recommend her.

Willow was so nervous out and about, freezing and staring at other dogs, so we reached out before it became full reactivity. She's transformed, she now runs straight to the car when Beth arrives, and responds to her name instead of fixating. We tried 4–5 trainers before Beth, and never once felt this calm or confident. If you want real change and someone who truly loves your dog rather than just running a session, book with her, I'd recommend her a hundred times over.
