I am so happy that I found Pa and Dog in a Box and can definitely recommend her. We started our agility journey when my wcs turned 1 but after a few months we stopped as we felt she wasn’t mentally mature enough.

I am so happy that I found Pa and Dog in a Box and can definitely recommend her. We started our agility journey when my wcs turned 1 but after a few months we stopped as we felt she wasn’t mentally mature enough. About 18 months later I happened upon Pa’s post offering an agility taster session and we haven’t looked back. Every obstacle Polly threw at us (be that sitting & refusing to jump or following a scent) Pa just simply came up with different ways to get her attention/focus back - each week it seemed like it was “forget what we did last week, try…”. 7 months on and my spanner is starting to run proper courses - couldn’t be prouder of her and so impressed with Pa & her knowledge. Thank you so much from both Polly and myself. Less
Our puppy Shelby has been many times now, and they are fantastic. Friendly. Knowledgeable and know their stuff. If we have a question outside of the class, we can contact them, and they are happy to help. I can't say more than pawfect. Thanks, Marc , Vicky, and Shelby
I did 1-2-1 with my GSD and my wife has done the adolescence training with our other one. The difference in the pair of them in such a short space of time has been incredible.

A few months ago we attended the Lightning Recall workshop with our new rescue young dog we'd just brought back from Spain. I've had dogs all my life, but mostly Labradors - this young hound breed was certainly going to be a challenge to tame! Our primary concern was recall. We didn't need her to perform tricks or even be perfect on the lead etc, but we did want to enjoy long country hikes with h... More
A few months ago we attended the Lightning Recall workshop with our new rescue young dog we'd just brought back from Spain. I've had dogs all my life, but mostly Labradors - this young hound breed was certainly going to be a challenge to tame! Our primary concern was recall. We didn't need her to perform tricks or even be perfect on the lead etc, but we did want to enjoy long country hikes with her safe in the knowledge we could get her back! Incredibly- and much to our continued astonishment, the 2 hours we spent with Pa at this workshop literally changed everything! I can't stop telling everyone- especially those dog owners who are too scared they might not get their dog back if they let them off the lead - to go and learn this simple (and fun!) method of recall ~ it'll change everything you thought you knew - and makes PERFECT sense 🙌 Less
We have just completed the 4 week puppy class. Kymmie and Pa were excellent! As they keep to small classes they are able to tailor the training and advice to the puppies and their owners. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Enjoyable and informative recall workshop. Peggie had so much fun !
Aria had a brilliant time at the 4 week adolescent antics course, and her hoomans learned lots of really useful tips and tricks to get through the teenage phase! kymmie is really knowledgeable and Aria adored her. She couldn't wait to get through the door each week for her next lesson.
An excellent experience with masterful trainers. Kymmie made it understandable, fun and detailed enough to get real value. Always happy to entertain any questions and concerns we had as we tried to do our best for our puppy. We will be back for more, and feel comfortable that we have the support of a great team. Thankyou.
My trainer is knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. My dog and I will benefit greatly.
I attended 4 sessions. Pa is a lovely, warm person and full of wisdom. Her knowledge makes you feel really reassured, she definitely knows what she’s talking about and treats all the dogs with kindness and affection. You can ask her anything and she has the answer.

May i say that i have received the most positive , helpful advice from Pa , she spent time , laced with extremely useful advice working with me and Audrey ( my lovely dog). I cannot fault the in depth way Pa worked with me to achieve a solution . Thank you . I will be using Dog in a Box to assist with my new rescue dog Bea in the near future . Sue Burrows
Since starting our journey with training Duke and I have learnt such a lot. I absolutely love life with Duke and Pa's techniques definitely work. Dog in abox training is superb and I highly recommend them. Thank you so much.
An absolutely brilliant course! The puppy training classes and two one to one sessions package was superb! Would highly recommend!
Fun session. Clear instruction given in a friendly way.
I am so glad I found Pa, not only is she an excellent & highly experienced trainer, she is such a lovely lady who has an abundance of patience and understanding with both owner and dog. Pa has an extraordinary ability to read every dog and owner & know how each one thinks, which really brings out the best in both it's never a one size fits all way of training with Pa.

I am so glad I found Pa, not only is she an excellent & highly experienced trainer, she is such a lovely lady who has an abundance of patience and understanding with both owner and dog. Pa has an extraordinary ability to read every dog and owner & know how each one thinks, which really brings out the best in both it's never a one size fits all way of training with Pa. Willow absolutely adores Pa and is always a very tired happy pup after all the fun she has. I have seen Pa on a 1-1 basis and in group classes and I always come away so much more positive and confident in my future journey with my best friend. Willow and I have both learnt so much. I can't thank Pa enough for everything. I highly recommend Pa Dog in a box training. Less
Moss& I did a one hour loose lead workshop and we are so impressed with how quickly Pa’s tips helped us crack this! The next day on our walk Moss’ walking was a thousand times better, and a week of practice later she managed a 30 minute walk in a completely unknown place with many distractions - quickly bringing her attention back to me. We are so pleased and now enjoying more relaxing walks!
Wonderful puppy training! My golden retriever Lily and I had lots of fun and found the training really helpful. We will definitely do more training with Dog in a Box. Thank you.
Pa is very knowledgeable, experienced and patient. She is there when you need her to help with any questions you may have. Our puppy loved going there and learnt so much from her as we did. It is a good set up and we had a book for homework which was really useful. She be will be booking more classes as there is a wide range.
Pa was absolutely fantastic with my Romanian rescue dog throughout our 121 sessions. He is not an easy dog to understand, (agreed by all that know him!) but Pa was able to use her extensive knowledge to work with him and understand his struggles!

Pa is so very helpful and answered all my questions, no matter how small or silly. Everything she has taught us makes so much sense and has allowed the bond with my dog to flourish further! I will be booking in again to continue and further his training, as Pa was able to bring out his clever, playful side which is something we didn't see enough of before! Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Pa, Chester and Caitlin x Less
Just did an agility taster with my young rescue dog at the weekend. What fun we had, no pressure, no judgement, just a session full of positive encouragement and common sense approaches. Thanks Pa you are fab! Love from Ali and Boots x 🐾
We took our two Labrador puppies to Pa for her puppy training programme she was great with them and her training techniques are great I have come away with happy and more obedient dogs. Thank you Pa for your expertise and help Kelly

She was so lovely and understanding and Ted loved her from the start (and her special liver treats) Our main concern was how Ted becomes very excited around visitors and doesn't calm down, especially with other children, but Phillippa was able to show us how to use distraction methods to keep Ted calm. We would highly recommend Phillippa and are excited to put all our new advice and tips into action. Thankyou again Phillippa. Less
A fabulous afternoon that taught new tricks and ideas to buddy. it was very informative and enjoyable. thanks PA Boone
A friendly warm welcome from the lovely Pa Boon, and a fun and very informative couple of hours spent under her instruction. All the dogs and the owners learned new skills. Confidence increased and new fun games explored. cannot recommend doginabox highly enough. Thank you.xxx
