MyDogsTrainer Reviews 

We took our 9 month old German shepherd to Caitlin in the Oxfordshire branch as he was very excited, jumping up at people & mouthing them, just wanting to be friends with everyone but not being polite about it at all! We also wanted some help with loose lead walking because he pulled LOADS & even more if he sees another person or dog that he wants to meet. Caitlin sent me multiple updates throughout the 12 days, including videos & photos. When I picked him up she went through a few of the training bits & let me try it out myself. Don’t get me wrong he still gets SO excited when he sees people & other dogs, but we now have the knowledge & skill to get him to focus more on us. It can still take a little while but he knows what he’s got to do & will settle WAY quicker than he used to. It feels a lot more manageable already & it’s only been a few days since we got him home! Caitlin’s also already checked in on us to see how it’s going & invited us to get in contact for any more issues going forward.

Holy is a brilliant dog trainer full of knowledge and expertise. I’ve had 3 other trainers and none of them could help with my stubborn dog Rocco. He loves Holy and listens and has learnt so much since he’s been there.Holy is a real asset to MDT and I’m so greatful we were able to book Rocco in with her.
Thankyou Holy. X

Holly was lovely and Fizzy clearly really liked her. I loved receiving the videos and photos of her during her training and it was a much nicer experience for her than just going into kennels. However, our reactive dog is still reactive - we haven't seen much progress if I'm honest, but we do better understand her needs. I think for five stars I'd have liked my expectations managed at time of booking. Our issue was we were expecting much more time with other dogs rather than the occasional dog across a road. She could already do that before beginning training and in fact can walk quite close to our neighbours dog on a shared walk. A muzzle was recommended for her and that really bothers me as she's so good with people, I don't want them to shy away from her.

Really helpful admin staff who called me as soon as i had put in my info request. Much better to talk to someone rather than receive generic feedback to a website. Made my decision then to send my dog and was accommodated with dates due to my working hours. My dog loved his stay and i could really notice a difference in his walking even after only 10 days. Morgan was great with him and updated me every 48 hours with pics/videos and an overview. We had an hour together when i collected him and really went through how to manage him to keep him making progress. She is still in touch via email with little queries i have and is happy to meet up if we plateau and can't move forward again. Would definitely recommend for intensive training for lead walking. The kennels he stayed in seemed OK but weren't well signposted and quite tricky to find!

I was a little apprehensive sending my miniature dachshund here for a number of reasons, he’s a typical daxie - loud, barky, growls, doesn’t like people, separation anxiety. So to me there was little chance of this working, but I had to try it as unfortunately his behaviour was becoming too much for me to be able to deal with and to enjoy having a dog as this is what I anticipated when getting him.

We are now a month after the stay and I could not be happier with the results, we were blessed with Holly as our trainer and she is literally a dog trainer angel sent from heaven.

During the 2 weeks my dog was there she kept me updated from the moment I left, sending pictures, videos and general updates.

When we came to collect him, we spent a long time talking about my dog, all the behaviours she had picked up on and it was really refreshing to hear her take on things, she is clearly very knowledgeable about dogs but more importantly, she took the time to really understand my dog. I didn’t get the standard ‘he’s barking because he’s trying to establish his place in the pack’ but instead an actual reasonable explanation to his behaviour. This has helped me massively with his training and I am far better equipped to handle my dog.

He’s far more manageable, I feel super intune with him. I understand him a lot better and feel very well connected with him. He’s still not the perfect dog but he’s improving day by day. I’m really impressed with how holly still checks in with me about him over a month on and how she genuinely cares about how he’s getting on. I feel far more confident taking him out and about, I know what to do, and I really can see a change in him as the days go on. Sometimes I cannot believe he is the same dog.

Would give holly 1000000/10 - thank you so much for improving my life with my dog, I feel so lucky and grateful to have been placed with holly and cannot recommended enough!!! Thank you a million times over!!

Best decision I ever made sending him!

This is our second experience with a trainer from My Dog Trainer and we have to say we couldn’t be happier with Holly.

Upon requiring further support with our dog Kane we were assigned Holly and she had a different approach to our previous trainer.

We were a little sceptical having been pleased with the previous trainer however once Holly got started it was clear she was extremely passionate about her work and her approach was second to non.

We went away on holiday and left our dog at Broadmarsh kennels which enabled Holly to work with Kane for a couple of weeks and provide us the most incredible report we’ve ever seen.

The report was extremely in depth and enabled us a tool to go back to in order to ensure we kept up the good work Holly had put in whilst we were at home.

Our dog Kane has improved so much in many areas of concern to us and recently we even received a home visit which enabled Holly to get a feel of Kane in his home environment.

Thank you Holly we look forward to having further interactions with you. A+

Our two rescue dogs worked with Holly in the midlands . First thing to say that the communication was excellent and we could soon see that there was a rapport between trainer and pups with regular video updates. The dogs always seemed happy in their surroundings.
They have returned home better trained and more trainable and we understand what we now need to do in order to fully resolve their issues.
The trainer seems to spend a lot of time working with the dogs and interacting with the owners.
The partner kennel also seemed well run and we liked the fact that the dogs were walked in varied locations away from the kennel.
Happy to recommend but if your dog has issues don’t expect a magic wand. They don’t exist.

I was very nervous about sending a 5 month old puppy on 12 days residential training but I am delighted with the results. Morgan did a wonderful job on Fern’s recall and loose lead walking. When we collected Fern, Morgan spent a considerable time showing us how to continue with the training at home. As a result of her training, Fern is much calmer, walks very well on a loose lead but the biggest improvement is out in the forest off lead. She continually checks in with us rather than being off in her own walk. A very good outcome.

Absolutely pleased with sending my furry friend for training. We met Holly on the day who answered all our questions and put our mind at rest. Our main issue with our furry friend was pulling in the lead especially as he is nearly 38kg, Holly has worked wonders and glad to say the training along with the follow ups has done brilliant things. No longer getting pulled and we are able to go for a family walk with our furry friend. Would highly recommend to any persons looking for excellent training. Thank you especially to Holly

Great experience! Amazing trainers that know what they're doing! Not much else to say really besides I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone because of how good, open and put of the way it is! So much space for the dogs to have fun and get trained properly!

We left our dog for 10 days in the kennels and under the stewardship of Lucy's training. She listened keenly and observed his behaviour while implementing a practice that recognised his houndish traits while encouraging better behaviour.

After 3 previous dog trainers in London worked on our, at times unruly hound, we were delighted to finally notice a substantial change in his behaviour thanks to Lucy. We highly recommend Lucy and will be sending our dog back for further sessions if needed. She constantly kept us updated with messages, photos and comprehensive notes.

I highly recommend Lucy and this training program.

Morgan was great. She sent regular videos of Honey which made me feel more involved. Honey is a very excitable English bulldog she came back a lot calmer and responses to direction now. When she doesn’t respond Morgan has given me the tools to react in a calm way to get things back on track. I would happily recommend Morgan and My Dogs Trainer.

We took our 8month old Hungarian Viszla to Morgan. He’s such an excitable pup and we were really struggling with his lead walking and recall. We’re so pleased with the results. Morgan trained with Juke for 12 days and when we went to pick him up he’s improved so much already. Morgan showed us everything we needed to do to continue his training from home. He’s a lot more calmer walking on a lead and isn’t always pulling which was such a big issue for us and his recall is great! Thanks so much Morgan x

My dog has an issue with chasing after dogs when we were out on a walk and had difficulty focusing on me when dogs were around which was really frustrating.
I took onion to broad marsh kennels and we had Holly assigned to us as our trainer. Onion took to her straight away and she made sure she understood all of my concerns. I was worried about onion in kennels for the first time but Holly sent lots of videos, photos etc to put me at ease.
She also sent videos to show me her training methods while they were out and about.
When I went to collect onion, Holly came in on her day off to go through all they had worked on and what I need to do going forward to keep seeing improvements
She also emailed me a very detailed report with images, behaviour to look out for and training details which was above my expectations and advised if there’s any problems in the future to get in touch which was lovely!
Holly is an amazing trainer and I very much appreciate her training method (positive reinforcement). By no means have onions issues been completely fixed but I know how to work on them and what to look out for!
100% would recommend!

So glad I made decision to put my 8month old goldendoodle pup in to kennels with residential training. He was well looked after, and got lots of additional stimulation and exercise with the trainer (Morgan). Morgan kept me fully updated whilst we were overseas with videos and emails, she’s amazing and I’d have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone! Her training methods, explanations, patience and understanding with our pup Sidney was amazing! As we dog lovers know it’s the owners that also need training and I think Morgan explained things succinctly. We’re very happy to have our boy home and the care given during his stay at Delvallie Kennels in Nursling was also fantastic, it’s kept so clean. I totally recommend the entire package, I will use again. So reassuring knowing how attentively cared for he was. Thank you all

Our dog went away as a little demon and came back as an angel! Everything she has been taught is amazing and she is performing so well!
Thank you to Caitlin, who our dog absolutely adored.

Our 2 Fox Red Labradors have just spent 12 days at the St Albans branch and I have to say we have seen a vast improvement in their behaviour since we collected them. We asked for training specifically on lead walking and recall and we can already see the difference it has made. I have to say that not only were they well looked after but their Trainer Lucy did a fantastic job and also really built up a bond with both dogs. Lucy sent us updates every day with photos and videos plus some very good info to carry on the training at home. very impressed by the whole set up from booking to dropping off and collecting and Lucy was a star. They also very well looked after at the kennels.
Thank you Lucy and team.

Morgan is a fantastic girl worked with my stubborn strong Akita/ German Shepard extremely well , she has come back a different dog
Really helped me as my disability’s I struggled.
I can now walk my girl by myself using the tools Morgan gave us
A fantastic trainer who knows her stuff and really does care .
Highly recommended

Our gorgeous young cocker spaniel had the delightful Morgan as her trainer for a week.
Morgan was kind, thoughtful and understands dogs brilliantly. We received useful training tips and our cocker has improved on her lead walking and recall. We would definitely recommend My DogsTrainer

The whole experience was invaluable. From enrolling to onboarding, training and off boarding. We got a totally different puppy back. A huge thanks to Holly, who patiently trained our furry family member 😊 I do recommend MyDogs Trainer.
