We had a fantastic 1-1 session with Abbey and my dog Mulder. He has insane prey drive and we would love to let him off the lead one day. I feel so much closer to being able to with Abbey!

Kim

My Bear is loving the 121 training he’s been having for off lead training. The field for this is amazing for him to have free roam too

Jennie

Abbey has been brilliant and given my beautiful dog a quality of life I never thought we could achieve. My rather wilful working Irish Setter was a problem both on and off lead with no understanding of walking etiquette or recall. An instinct driven blur of red.
Abbey has been amazing! Patient with both me and the dog, adjusting techniques when I couldn’t manage them and helping me understand both the dogs reactions and needs.
She has praised and supported us along this journey  and whilst I am well aware we still have a way to go, I am so grateful to her and can’t recommend he highly enough!

We have known Abbey a while through using the secure field for Our dogs.
Abbey has been amazing over the last four months, helping us with settling in a new puppy.
We have had quite a few issues along the way but Abbey has always been there with her support and help, which we really appreciated, Getting back to me as soon as she can. Sometimes when it was even out of normal work hours.
She has a natural Way with Dogs, and goes above and beyond to help you with training and any  other issues whilst being aware of what is best for your dog, taking into account age, breed, abilities etc.
Abbey makes training fun for both dogs and humans alike and shows you as well as explaining any new training ideas clearly so you know and understand.
We had Abbey for 1-1 sessions with our pup and found these both helpful and valuable. She is patient, kind to
Both humans and dogs and does not make you feel awkward or Silly if you need more explanation on a particular training technique.
We would highly recommend Abbey 100% for any training needs/ concerns you have regarding your pooches.

Abbey is a fabulous trainer, we were not feeling very confident about how we were training our one year old cockapoo, as we had not progressed well with other trainers.
We have had three sessions so far and saw a big difference after session one. Abbey has helped give us the tools, confidence and support and we now feel much more confident. We know we still have a lot to learn but feel really confident that we can do this, with Abbey by our side.
Abbey is very adaptable with  her training methods and isn't one way works for everyone and this has been a breath of fresh air. Abbey will show us first what to do and then watch us, this really works for us, she is also on hand between training sessions to help if we have any questions. We find Abbey really easy to talk to and get along with, we don't feel judged, we feel supported and feel we have found a trainer that wants to help and work with us.
We highly recommend Abbey for any training needs.
Thank you Abbey, we are very grateful to you.

Had 121's with Abbey. My boy, now rarely pulls on lead, and I know what to do if he does. He's improved walking past other dogs. All reward based training. Really enjoy our sessions.

We started lessons with Abbey earlier this year .. Abbey is absolutely brilliant at her job . ⭐️She is very friendly, professional and as got the patient of a Saint.. Rokit our 2yr old gsd has improved so much in all his training . He was a bit naughty at chasing sheep (on lead) and with Abbey's guidance he now knows to leave and walks past brilliantly 👏. She explains in great detail every step of training as well as brilliant advice on other topics to improve his focus and his eating habits..
The secure field is superb ... we have done a lot of training at Abbey's home as she as sheep to train Rokit with.. Abbey as given me confidence to let Rokit off lead (in certain places) as she did a brilliant job with his recall training for him and me lol 😆 thank you Abbey 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🖤

Matt

Brilliant service from Abbey! She really helped us with our enthusiastic cocker spaniel. We did a batch of three “1to1” sessions and focused on loose lead control. We now feel she has given us a robust toolbox of skills and look forward to lots of lovely walks. Highly recommended!

Denise

Abbey is great, She has a positive approach to dog training. I'm really pleased with what i have learned thus far.
Down to earth friendly approachable and always ready to help. 5*'s from me ...Denise x

Went to Abbey as we have a very stubborn staffyX with a high prey drive. Knew that she had experience with active dogs with high prey drive so was a no brainer. We've had a couple of sessions and his recall is infinitely better. Now working on lifestock aversion. Abbey really knows her stuff and it was well worth the drive to see someone so knowledgeable. Can't wait for the next session!
