ProgDog Puppy and Dog Training

We can’t recommend Jo highly enough! Our puppy has recently completed his foundation training and the three of us thoroughly enjoyed our training sessions. It’s been so rewarding to see how much he’s enjoyed it and how intelligent he is. Jo is so helpful and knowledgeable, and we’ve learned so much and got much more from our sessions than we were expecting. We really feel like she has helped us to give Gus the best start!

I can't recommend Jo enough. I met her through a friend (Percy is just the perfect trained dog). Jo has been with us since the beginning, as first dog owners we had millions of doubts and she gave all the instructions for success with the pre puppy guide, and how to survive the first week.She is so knowledgeable, patient and lovely with Sonia, and always focused on the positive. She is very accesible, always answering our questionsWe have been working on basic commands, recall, loose lead walking and other games to help Sonia overcome her fears and stubbornness like a good Chihuahua...I trust her so much and I hope we carry on our training with Sonia, we can not afford to loose her...She has helped us so much!!!Thank you for everything Jo.Sonia and Patricia

What can I say, thank you doesn’t even cover the gratitude I have for what Jo has done for us and our girl Joni.We graduated from the puppy package almost 2 years ago and carried on doing further regular training with Jo… we both loved it so much!!Jo trains in a way that is totally bespoke to you and your dog, she is kind, patient and above all easy to get along with. She makes the sessions so fun and engaging you really don’t want them to end! We have worked on lots of things from recall and emergency stops to fun tricks and games to play when on walks.With Jo’s guidance, We have gone from having a bonkers spaniel pup to having a wonderful, sociable and focused dog. We often get comments on her beautiful behaviour when out on walks and never need to worry about her running off or not coming back when recalled… the dream!!My heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Jo xx

I cannot recommend Jo Highly enough. Jo's attention to detail, her patience, her understanding of the dog's needs (and the owners!) is impeccable. I cannot believe how quickly Max as improved after our first batch of lessons, with very little practice in between. Her notes that follow every session are detailed and tailored to each individual exercise, they are incredibly helpful. I cannot wait to book the next set of lessons and am utterly astonished at how Max has improved both mentally and physically.

My 12 month old Rotty Minnie and I have just finished a block of 5 sessions with Jo. We both loved the training and learnt so much. Jo is great fun and changed my perspective of training showing it is rewarding and fun for both me and doggy, the supporting notes are detailed and will help us carry on our training journey.Jo has a passion and knowledge of dogs that shines through, my advice to anyone in the area with a puppy or older dog that needs some guidance give her a call.

I came across Jo working with another client in Bradgate Park and was impressed with her training activities and techniques and actually learning out in the real world environment. She was working on skills that I knew I needed to do with my dog TJ - improving recall and staying close by. The client couldn’t recommend Jo enough, so I booked in. I’m so pleased I did. Jo is wonderful at training people to train their dogs, I could enthuse about her for hours but what I particularly liked is that we covered such a lot in each session and it was all tailored for me and TJ. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, she knows her stuff and is amazing with dogs. I would highly recommend.

Jo has helped us transform both our dogs and helped us to understand the different training we need to do for their different personalities. Amazing trainer and teacher who has taught us so much towards having a loving and healthy set of dogs.

When looking for a dog trainer, I was hoping to find an experienced professional who was gentle, positive and encouraging in their approach. What I actually found in Jo is an exceptional talent who not only intrinsically understands the needs of each and every dog she meets but also a empathetic and true ability to understand the owner, their wishes, needs and challenges. Put together, I can assure you that you simply will not find a better trainer. Jo has worked alongside our family in training our Maltese Teddy for over a year. The transformation in Teddy is truly remarkable and I believe that we would not have achieved these results with anyone else. Truly the best in the business.

Can’t recommend Jo enough, kind, caring and generally wanting the best for you and your pooch.Jo’s been with my Reg since he was 16 weeks old, from a puppy he was in pain and wasn’t keen on going out, this led to an operation and him being house bound for quite sometime, however Jo was amazing, constantly checking in and gave us plenty of exercises to keep his mind stimulated while his body healed.She’s taught us both so much and now nearly 2 Reg is able to go out properly, we’ve been putting everything Jo taught us to the test and he’s thriving.I honestly can’t thank Jo enough, nothings ever too much.If you are wanting the best for your pooch then Jo is definitely the way to go!Xx
