I have been attending Andrea’s dog training sessions with my 18month old puppy for about a month now. Her wisdom, experience, professional training has been invaluable to us. Each session, Andrea gives very clear instructions, advice and support. Sessions are followed up by a written report and videos which I have found incredibly helpful to refresh and cement what was taught in the sessions. Highly recommend Thinking Dogs, from attending, learning and enjoying the sessions, I am now looking into agility classes for my puppy something I wouldn’t have even considered before!

I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough; from my first consultation with her on the phone to the end of our initial 4 sessions (we’re going back for many more!!!). She truly understood what we needed to learn as owners and what our dog needed to learn to get us where wanted to be with him. It is all done at safe and secure premises (with the promise of further enhancements to come!) with training spaces both indoors and out. Every session is followed up (normally later the same day!) by an email describing the session we’d just had, what she had noticed about improvements and where work was needed and any “homework” training exercises to do.. Not to mention the training videos sent via WhatsApp. Just brilliant. Andrea obviously cares about you and your dog and wants the best for both. She adjusts her training to suit you and gets results, we are just so happy with the positive changes we’ve seen in our dog and everything we have learnt from our sessions and the follow up materials. Oh, and it helps that Andrea is lovely too.. Don’t hesitate to make the call!! We are so glad we did..

Ramsey is a dogs trust rescue dog who had been with them for a year and a half and been returned twice. Andrea has shown us how intelligent he is and how to help him be happy. We have had him for three months and with her guidance and encouragement he has blossomed. We are eternally grateful.

Andrea is amazingly good! We have learnt so much in two sessions with her and so has Bailey. Andrea has explained loads to us and everything works - her ideas are really clever but simple and she shows you how to do everything. I cannot recommend her enough - in summary Andrea is incredibly good - thank you so much for your help so far.

It has been refreshing to find Thinking Dogs and I highly recommend. Andrea is knowledgeable, professional, flexible and fun to train with, the dogs love our sessions too. The follow up notes are really helpful and I am seeing changes in my dogs and in my approach to solving problems. A super training field and easy to get to location.

Andrea is really calm and patient explaining what training she’s doing and the purpose for each activity. She’s so engaging with the dog, who truly hangs on her every word. She helps teach you what you can do to get your dog to listen and engage better. Would recommend Andrea for anyone seeking a dog trainer in the area.

We couldn't be happier with the one-to-one training sessions for our puppy! From the start, Andrea was professional and approachable. She has helped us with essential aspects like biting, walking on lead, recall , food manners, door etiquette etc —issues we were struggling with before. Andrea's approach is gentle but effective, and we immediately saw improvements in our puppy's behaviour. What really stood out to us was the follow-up support. After each session, we received a detailed email on how to reinforce the training at home, which helped us stay on track. Short videos of training aspects covered, were incredibly useful for us to practice consistently between appointments. These videos also gave us a clear visual of the techniques, making it much easier to follow through and reinforce the commands. Thanks to Andrea's personalized sessions, our puppy is making great progress with walking on the lead, waiting politely at doors, and having better food manners etc. We're so grateful for the guidance and the extra tools provided to help us continue the training at home. Highly recommend Andrea for anyone looking for a professional, fun and supportive experience in helping their dog become well-mannered and confident!

Andrea is a fantastic trainer. So knowledgeable, professional, patient, kind and with the dog's best interests at heart. She has helped us tremendously with our puppy and we look forward to continuing our journey with Andrea. We have also appreciated the detailed notes, videos and ongoing support between sessions. I would highly recommend Thinking Dogs, thank you Andrea!

Andrea is an excellent trainer, both for my dog and myself. Positive reinforcement, enabling my dog to make the right choices himself. A fabulous calm environment, outdoors and indoors, Andrea follows up with training notes and videos to practice in between visits. She demonstrates her love of dogs and her job throughout, would highly recommend.

We are first time puppy owners and soon found ourselves rather overwhelmed and out of our depth with our clever, lively cockapoo Todd. Finding Andrea has made such a difference. She is skilled with people as well as dogs! Our work with her has helped our relationship with Todd to flourish and address all kinds of issues such as finding the right groomer to helping us understand his development. Having her support and expertise continues to transform our experience with him. We highly recommend Thinking Dogs.

Andrea has been so great in helping me with my nervous dog. She has helped me to see different ways of increasing his confidence and given me the confidence to do things with him that I was worried might upset him. I can already see a difference in him and me. The 121 sessions are really informative and the notes and homework sent to you after the session are really helpful. I would definitely recommend Andrea 😊

I cannot recommend highly enough. Andrea has given me the confidence to be happy on my dog walks again. The training really is tailored to you and your dog with notes and follow ups so you know what to practice on. Andrea does this in a very patient and understanding way. Will definitely continue with the training.

Andrea has been extremely patient with both Toby and I . We have picked up some bad habits through Tobys first 3 years. He is a gorgeous Goldie with a mind of his own. Andrea is teaching us really practical skills and we are both learning what his potential is. Sessions are fun in a purpose built and safe environment. All learning is supported by a full report of progress, video clips to master the new skills and homework to practice at home. We have used trainers before but this approach gives me a far better understanding of why the techniques work and it is focuses on positive reinforcement and getting Toby to work it out. There is absolutely no harsh punishment or negative approach techniques. So if you have a pooch as a pup or even older Andrea can help teach you to have the best relationship with your best friend. We are really looking forward to the future with Toby. Thankyou Andrea for sharing your expertise with us.

Highly recommend, the most outstanding dog trainer. I’ve been to a few trainers but Andrea stands head and shoulders above the rest. A pleasure to work with she is patient, experienced and gets results. Going to Andrea with an anxious border collie, she took the time to understand our needs and create a realistic plan that worked around me and my dog. My dog really enjoyed the sessions and so did I, she gave really clear lessons and we made lots of progress with a reactive border collie. Can’t recommend enough.

We were so glad we found Andrea when we did, having just got a new puppy for the first time in twenty years! Andrea was amazing, always on the end of the phone giving us advice and this was all before we'd even started the one to one training. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Her knowledge and experience is second to done! She follows up with comprehensive notes and videos to help you remember what she has taught which ŵe found invaluable. We have just finished our initial 4 week training and have booked to continue. We are so grateful to her for all her help and look forward to more training with Chester.

Excellent training and advice given by Andrea, who really understands dogs and their behaviour. The videos and training notes she provides are invaluable to continue the training at home. Would highly recommended Thinking Dogs 🐕.

Andrea has transformed my communication with my dog and has helped my confidence with being responsible for training my dog. Even after only one session I made huge advances in understanding my dogs breed, behaviour and what my dog needed from me. Andrea is friendly and provides wonderful notes and videos on what she teaches in the sessions which are invaluable and I refer to them often. I am so grateful to her and Thinking Dogs.

Thank you so much, Thinking Dogs, for your invaluable help in training my puppy! Your expertise and guidance have made such a positive difference in our journey together. Grateful for your dedication and support.
