Found the class very helpful, Lottie and mainly us learnt a lot. Very friendly and helpful when we didn't quite get it. We continue to work and improve, using the notes that were emailed to us each week, recovering the class that had been delivered. Would recommend classes to puppy owners.

We were so pleased to find Sam at Rovers Return for our little puppy Tilly. We’ve learnt so much and it’s really handy to get worksheets with info on the work you’ve been doing at each session. Would highly recommend

Sam is extremely knowledgable and has a lot of great information to share. I approached Sam, for help and guidance with our dogs occasionally fighting. Sam looked at the events that happen throughout the day, that could contribute stress for our dogs and cause a fight.

Sam is extremely knowledgable and has a lot of great information to share. I approached Sam, for help and guidance with our dogs occasionally fighting. Sam looked at the events that happen throughout the day, that could contribute stress for our dogs and cause a fight. Since Sam has spent time with us, the dogs have been a lot more calmer, there have been no fights. We have also learnt calming techniques and ways to stimulate the mind of a bouncy bulldog. I would highly recommend Sam’s services, and hope that she could help you too. Thanks so much Sam. Natalie, Paul, Pig, Poppy & Bella :-) Less

Sam provided excellent training advice and techniques that have helped improved our dogs behaviour around resource guarding and barking indoors, would recommend.

Sam worked wonders with Oscar. He’s had such a rough start and Sam gained his trust very quickly and showed me games and training we can do to rebuild his trust. We are still working on a few bits as it’s not a quick fix but just knowing Sam is only a message away really helps with my confidence too. I honestly can not rate Sam high enough.

I cannot recommend this consultant enough! really knew where we were going wrong and helped us with our dog. Thanks

Sam is an absolute gem and has been instrumental in helping my little Buddy build his confidence. His noise sensitivity, reactivity towards other dogs, and inability to cope with strangers in the house has just been bubbling up into a chronically stressed out little terrier. Sam showed us how we can work on changing his emotional state around these things and in just a few sessions we've already ... More

Thank you so much again Sam for helping us with him, his life is undoubtedly going to be so much better because of you and he's on track to becoming a resilient little chap 🙌🙌 Less

I found the classes to be enjoyable & fun with my pup

Attended Puppy Classes and found them really useful. Step by step instructions given and Sam was excellent at answering questions and giving tips. The follow up emails with all the instructions from that week are invaluable, great for reference when you forget what you should be doing. Thank you Sam and hope to see you again when we sign up for more classes.

A thorough examination to tackle my dogs assortment of problems Fantastic knowledge, friendly and great advice. I was seeing improvements in my dogs anxiety behaviour within 24 hours. Very in depth videos and other on line material. Looking forward to our next visit.

Although Patrick was very much older than the other pups in his class (1 year) as a rescue with no previous training, we found the class invaluable. Starting with the basics has given us and Patrick the confidence to build on them and he is coming on in leaps and bounds. Thank you Sam, you’ve been amazing. We will definitely be enrolling in other classes you offer. Sue, Pete and Patrick x

Excellent service and lot of practical advice. Me and my dog Loki love our personalised plan and it's amazing to see the transformation. Sam, thank you very much for all your help and support.

This lady is amazing and has helped me so much with my reactive frenchie. He is improving daily and its lovely to watch! Thank you so so much xx

Interactive, enthusiastic trainer very knowledgeable provided lots of support. the 3 session course as did our cocker spaniel. Would recommend.

Sam has been amazing with Harry and helped us to learn about calming techniques with him. I was struggling to even walk Harry but now he’s much calmer and able to venture out doors without getting too over excited . I would highly recommend Sam , she’s a lovely person and very knowledgeable. So pleased we found her . Thanks again for your help Sam .

Sam when I had my little George I cannot thank you enough for the support you gave me with his separation anxiety. You support meant I was able to understand George more and work effectively with him - thank you 🙏

First Class. A school which teaches owners that dogs are not human but how to think like them. Many ingenious training tips that we would never have thought of on our own – but that really work. The copious supply of easy-to-follow written notes following each lesson allow us to continue the training. A mixed ability class where even the slow learners were never left behind.

We contacted Sam to help us with our Cockapoo, Wilf, and his resource guarding. Sam is very knowledgeable and guided us through various ways of teaching Wilf to “leave” and “drop”, and also various distraction techniques when Wilf has something he shouldn’t. Sam was great with Wilf, very patient and attentive and even got the children involved! We are confident that Wilf will continue to learn an... More

I just can't speak highly enough of Sam she's excellent and had so much knowledge to share! My puppy minty has just finished puppy classes with Sam and we've learnt so much my favourite tool to use is orientation as it keeps minty engaged and is fun to do. Minty has problems with reactivity so we met up about a month before classes started to ensure minty we suitable for class and I'm so glad he was, his reactivity is mostly street based. We are working closely with Sam on this, I'm glad to have the support and somebody on the end of the phone when i feel like I'm struggling. Sam will go above and beyond to help you out and I really cant thank her enough. Less

We asked Sam for help with our reactive rescue dog. It was a real eye opener. We have learnt go much about his behaviour and the information she gave us has made a significant difference to his behaviour is a short space of time. Would definitely recommend her!

Great class and lovely lady would definitely recommend

Sam has given advice and lots of ideas for training and mental stimulation ideas for my boxer to help keep her calm and relaxed around other dogs. she's very knowledge on the way the dogs brain works, she's calm and friendly and has been a great help. Thanks Sam!

We met Sam to assess mintys suitability for the puppy foundation class as he's scared and anxious of other dogs, it went amazingly she gave me tips and the walk went brilliantly, Sam is so patient and full of good ideas to help you out. Also Sam's dogs are brilliant and so patient. minty will be going to puppy class in May which we are looking forward to.

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough, she has turned my little lady round, I was beginning to think we would never get out on a walk again, but with patience and understanding Sam has given me the tools to help poppy & I get back out and enjoy the great outdoors, thank you ☺️

Sam is personable and really helpful. She understands your dog and gives great advice and tips. I’ve seen a huge change in my pup in only 3 weeks. Thank you xxx

This was a great trsining session The dogs loved it as much as myself Well recommend

I attended the lead walking workshop with one of my dogs because he was pulling so much on the lead. Sam showed me how to interact with him and after just 3 weeks, we seem to understand each other a lot more and I can honestly say, walking with him on the lead is so much more enjoyable. Thank you Sam.

Absolutely recommend, I have a very active 1 year old golden retriever who would never sit still or nap and Sam has helped me teach him down time and to not destroy his bed and actually use it to sleep on. Learnt so many new ways to stimulate his brain and get him using his working side. Can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to keep learning!

Sam is a brilliant trainer, she has an abundance of knowledge about different breeds of dogs and knows how to get the best out of them. Bear loved his training, we still use Sam’s training tools to this day. I would thoroughly recommend to any dog owner.

Sam helped us with puppy training. The sessions were tailored to our dog and dog. Our puppy is complemented on his behaviour all of the time, which is due to the learning we took from the classes. We have owned dogs before but still learnt a lot. Sam had lots of resources which she would bring to show us.
