A Dog Trainer That Likes Dogs

As a trainer, I have no issue handling big reactive or high energy dogs. Walks or visits will always have a structure that allows them to get the most out of our time together. With this heat, morning and nights will be where we play the most :) Often we will book secure fields as well to take your dog if you allow it. Finally the safety of your dog is paramount. Send me a message to discuss any concerns, special needs/considerations and let’s get your walk or visit booked :)

Our reactive dog started with James for a night and looks like he was well looked after. James agreed to meet us a free times before taking our dog, which really helped us feel at ease. Would recommend!

James was great, he looked after our dog 2 night and we will certainly be booking him again. James was professional and calm from the get go. Upon arrival he took our dog out for a walk straight away to get familiar with each other before bringing him in the house, which I thought was great and not as overwhelming for our pup. James kept us posted throughout the stay and was happy to accommodate a slightly earlier pick up time, which we really appreciated. Thank you James!

James looked after our dog Poppy for 6 days. Poppy was extremely well looked after and received excellent care from James whilst we were away. Even though she is 14 she hasn’t really been away from the family but she seemed calm and happy when she was picked up. Thank you James

James is absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I only joined Rover in a pinch because I'd left it too late to book a kennel for an August holiday. However I now see that as a happy accident as it lead us to James, and I'd be happy to use him again in future. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and Lola has come home completely chilled after having a great time in James's care.

Pets

A typical day

My day with my pet begins with a joyful wake up call from wagging tails. After breakfast, we go for a morning walk, enjoying the fresh air. A short walk during lunch is next, followed by a relieving evening play in the park. Usually by the end they’re nice and tired.
