Dog on the Hill

Jane came into our lives during a rather tumultuous time for our sweet 2-year-old Boxer. We'd moved house in the throes of his teenage years and after two rather traumatic surgeries. Jane immediately reassured us and was there to patiently listen to every single question and concern we had. She gave us the tools and peace of mind to work with our dog and set him up for success in life. I feel better equipped to handle challenges that may come our way and love our dog for exactly who he is. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone who wants to be the best owner/parent/friend/partner to their pups.

We can’t recommend Jane highly enough!We have worked with Jane both during her 7 week “life skills for puppies” course, and in 1-2-1 sessions. She has a deep understanding of dogs and only uses positive and science based methods. Her approach to training is not based on simply teaching tricks or commands but rather behaviours that will set you and your dog up for success.We’ve loved attending the course with our Labrador puppy Clifford, have seen great results from day 1, and are looking forward to working with Jane again in the future.

Jane (and Penny) were invaluable for our first 8 weeks into owning Rocket. We learnt so much in our classes each week and it was all broken down into simple procedures that we could take-away and put into practice. It has worked wonders for Rocket's behaviour at home, on the lead and when he's running around in the woods. We immediately felt at home in the class and Jane's teaching style makes the initial shock and awe of dog ownership a far less stressful affair. We have recommended her to several of our friends already and will continue to spread the word. The lessons are just the start as we'll be checking in with Jane to see if we're all making progress.

So pleased to have found Jane via many facebook recommendations. She is a true professional and expert in her field. We have seen massive improvements in our dog since starting the sessions and are looking to book more with Jane to keep up the momentum. 100% highly recommended - no need to look any further

It has been wonderful working with Jane - she clearly understands dogs inside out and has taught us lots of new skills which have helped us so much with our dog’s behaviour. Her style is really understanding and insightful. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. In just 4 sessions, we already feel like we have a different (better behaved) dog!

Jane has been beyond wonderful and patient and professional to the max! She’s not only helped our rescue to adjust to life with us, but gave us the confidence and tools to be the best owners for her. Jane’s experience and knowledge was life changing for us, we went from not knowing how to help our dog to now knowing how to read her and help her. It’s like having a new dog, we now can take her anywhere! Thank you Jane!

Working with Jane has been a real joy. We have a giant dog and needed some help with obedience and communication. Jane's expertise in science-based positive reinforcements, and years of experience, proved immensely effective. Walking our dog is now stress-free. Would highly recommend!

Jane and Penny at Dog on the Hill are simply outstanding. Our puppy has just graduated from the 7 week life skills course and we have come away with knowledge, confidence and understanding.Classes were well organised and efficiently run with attention to detail and understanding for each individual puppy. The classes are in a comfortable and encouraging atmostphere whilst allowing the puppies to decompress and relax into the surroundings.Our puppy is very much an outside girl and to begin with was very unsure of training camp. Jane and Penny recognised this from the off and took great care throughout each session. Instead she looked at videos throughout the week to monitor and improve training cues. Week 5, 6 & 7 it was an amazing experience to see Jane and the puppy bond and practice cues.Jane provided detailed class notes and homework and checked in on progress. She was always happy to take time throughout her day to monitor and guide us.We have thoroughly enjoyed learning and training over the past 7 weeks - I cannot recommend Dog on the Hill more highly.Thank you for everything - you really have set us up for success and with that comes a strong bond which is just incredible.A, C & T

This was an excellent, informative and caring class. Jane led the session with care and attention and we've really noticed an improvement in our puppy's (and our own) confidence. Highly recommended to everyone with puppies, whether you're an experienced dog owner or new to having dogs in your life.
