Puppy Pals Cumbria

Fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgable, Chris and Jess are five-star dog trainers. Their genuine love of dogs is obvious for all to see and they make every class enjoyable for canines and humans alike. They have helped us with a range of training needs and they do it all through methods that are kind and positive. They are always there to answer questions or discuss concerns, and I could not recommend them enough.

Highly RecommendedChris has helped us so much with our ex racing greyhound Chloe, who struggles with loud noises and anxiety.After understanding the problems, Chris recommends practical easy to follow solutions.Chloe also absolutely adores Chris and loves her sessions.We now have a much more confident dog who we understand far better ❤️

Working with our one year old pup after a bit of a scare, so not your normal training issues, Chris has identified the issues and is working with us to resolve. We are very pleased with the result after one session, and Chris is very friendly and approachable, so we look forward to following her instruction so we can help our pup in the long term!Thank you, Chris!

I recently took part in Puppy Pals Online Parkour course and it was really great fun. Jess and Chris talked through and demonstrated each of the tasks, watched what we were doing and gave expert advice and positive feedback. They showed us a range of ways to teach different skills, encouraged us to practice during the week, and also gave feedback on the videos we sent in.My dogs absolutely loved doing the exercises, it made me think about where I could practice and kept me accountable for getting on and doing my homework. I learned that Parkour is not just about teaching your dog’s tricks, the skills learned can be applied across many dog sports, and gives you different tasks to do with your dogs. It certainly made me think differently about my walks.I can’t recommend PuppyPals highly enough, both Chris and Jess were very encouraging, happy to go over anything we weren’t’ sure about and made the whole course fun to be on.

Both myself and my mum have had the pleasure of working with Jess on a one to one basis and have been super impressed. She really understands what the dog needs and the classes she offers are great too! Highly recommend to anyone, especially those with more challenging dogs!

I'm 'proudly owned' by my third border collie and would never take a dog anywhere else for (my) training! Chris has infinite patience, wisdom and empathy. The depth of her experience is incomparable, and, being a positive trainer, she helps to strengthen the relationship between human and dog. Cap starts getting excited in the car from 3 streets away, so it's a paws up from him too!

I can't recommend Chris and Jess enough. The knowledge they have between them is immense, I don't think there is a canine problem that they don't have a solution to. Zak and I have both loved every class we have been to, and have gained a lot of knowledge. I will be forever thankful to both of them for the help and support I have had and continue to have with my challenging Zak. Which ever class you do, you will have fun and learn something new. Zak and I enjoy them so much we keep going back for more.

What can I say...If you are looking for knowledgeable, fun people to help you build the best relationship you can with your dog..then look no further. Chris and Jess are just the best at giving you the tools and confidence to be able to train and bond with your pupster, in a non stressful and enjoyable way. Love visiting Puppy Pals Cumbria. Always a joy ....oh and the dog LOVES it too :)
