Waggy Dogs

I had a brilliant 7 weeks of group training classes with Lesley where I learnt skills to carry forward into the future with my puppy.Lesley ensures that the classes are tailored to each puppy’s needs, whilst implementing new skills for everyone to learn each week. We learned a range of skills from lead walking and recall to mental stimulation and settling skills for puppies.Pre course information was provided to help you get started before beginning the classes and guide you through the 7 weeksThanks to the small class size, 1:1 time was taken with each puppy and owner to work on any issues we were having. No question was silly and Lesley was patient and helpful throughout each class . Lesley also provides email updates of an overview of each week which was an excellent help when practising our training at home.Overall the classes were invaluable- my puppy has progressed hugely in the 7 weeks and I am now confident with off lead walks, knowing that my puppy has a good recall.I would highly recommend Puppy ABC’s to anyone with a pup!Huge thanks!

Great classes by Lesley who is very calm and extremely knowledgeable about what works best for your puppies. Classes are small and she makes time to speak to all the owners to discuss individual problems along the way. The puppies are all really happy mixing together. Any particular problems she’s more than willing to give advice over the phone or a home visit. Really enjoyed the classes and will miss going! Thanks Lesley

Couldn't recommend Lesley more, she has been our dog walker for a number of years and having just had a puppy we started the Puppy ABCs class. Lesley has provided the basis for us to have an excellent relationship with our puppy with easy to break down training and steps we can work with moving forward. She spent the time to get to know every individual puppy to understand their needs and learning styles. Would 100% recommend the classes to anyone looking for a positive environment for their puppy

We have just completed our seven week ABC'S puppy school with Waggy dogs, i would definitely recommend waggy dogs if you were looking for a puppy school. At the start of the course my Daisy was nervous around other people and other dogs but with Lesley's help she is now happy to meet new people and make new friends. We learned skills that has definitely given our puppy the best start in life. Thank you so much Lesley

We have had the absolute pleasure of 2 courses now with Leslie and we can't praise her enough for how much our maxi has improved. We took everything we learned in the follow on course with us on our recent holiday where we took maxi for the first time and he was an absolute star going everywhere with us from pub visits to restaurants to boat rides and much more with no issues at all..Leslie is so patient and supportive with everyone (dogs and humans) and is always ready to help if we were struggling or we wanted advice on a specific behaviour that we wanted to nip in the bud..she has a clear passion for what she does and all the puppies clearly love her, I know our maxi does definitely. I know she is only a phone call away should we have any issues in the future. If you are thinking of starting training with your new puppy I really can't recommend Leslie enough.

We had a couple of sessions with Lesley to help with our hyperactive cocker and what a difference she made! Lesley had all the time in the world for us and taught us some really great stimulation techniques, which we now use on a daily basis. She completely changed our mindset and approach towards Rosie’s behaviour, by encouraging us to focus more on positive reinforcement and praise. We can’t fault the support we received from Lesley and would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience, atmosphere and training!My puppy was anxious a little but grew in confidence and really enjoyed socialising with the other puppies.Leslie was fantastic and had lots of advice, tips and supported us all very well. Thank you

excellent puppy training Lesley is very calm and truly cares about the puppies .Really enjoyed the group hopefully do a follow up group

We brought a rescue dog from Romania called Larry and he was so shy and timid and scared of other people and other dogs. Lesley was able to show us some really good exercises and techniques and now Larry is a completely different dog. He's playful and friendly and so much more confident. We cannot recommend Lesley highly enough, she certainly knows her stuff and we are very thankful to her for the amazing progress that Larry has had in such a short space of time. Thank you so much.

We attended the puppy ABC training sessions run by Waggy Dogs with our Labrador puppy , the sessions are well managed with a small number of “students “ in attendance, the group had a welcoming friendly atmosphere introducing pups and owners to the world of puppy training .Having been previous dog owners , we soon learned that we had much to learn as well as our pet .Lesley had the balance just right between fun and learning for everyone and every pet attending .Each week new basic dog obedience and behaviour techniques were demonstrated and each week followed up with written notes to assist and remind owners of the previous weeks training objectives.An excellent trainer , who we can fully recommend, first class .
