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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Thank you Pa, Chester and Caitlin x Less
Amazing, we enjoyed every lesson, winnie is continuing to do well with her training 😀
Pa is very knowledgeable and our puppy loves her. The sessions were fun and informative but focused on not overloading the puppies, which made them much more effective. We are very grateful for all the tips and exercises and the classes gave us a lot more confidence. Would recommend for any puppy owners, experienced or new!
Pa has been brilliant with Satch and I. My understanding of Satch and our bond has grown even stronger through fun games and training. I have noticed a real differnce throughout the 4 sessions and you really get out what you put into the sessions/homework. We can't thank you enough pa

People warned me puppies are hard work, but you don't know just what you're letting yourself in for until you're in it at the deep end! I was overwhelmed, exhausted and terrified I was getting it all wrong as a first time collie-pup owner. I'm so glad I found Dog-in-a-Box, which has proved to be so much more than what I'd initially expected of 'puppy training'. Pa's non-judgemental, practical and flexible approach guided me in such a positive direction and offered me some much needed perspective. I can't thank Pa enough for her ongoing support. From a puppy at 3 months who was pessimistic, nervous, unfocused and unsettled to one at 6 months who is more confident, happy and calm (with a now manageable level of attitude and independence!). He absolutely loves his Dog-in-a-Box sessions and the two of us look forward to learning more from Pa throughout the year ahead. Less
Pa was amazing with Tucker. She understood him and his breeds. Tucker really took everything on board and now listens to me! Thank you so much.
What a glorious find. Training at Dog-in-a-box has been enlightening. Professional and very caring. Georgie is a sprocker 16 months old and a puller. So Philippa has been working with Georgie and me and we have made much progress. Georgie loves the training and I do too. I look forward to our weekly meet up. Such good value. The bond between Georgie and me is so much stronger. We love it.
Pa is so knowledgeable! She really knows her stuff! Worked wonders on our dog. She teaches effective ways to train and bond with your pets, through using lots of treats, positive reinforcement and games! She’s amazing! 10/10! Thank you Pa!

Having moved to the country, I needed to find somewhere to continue agility training with my JRT. Word of mouth, I contacted Pa, who runs Dog In A Box Training. The lessons are great fun in a perfect safe and enclosed arena with all the standard agility equipment. Lessons are either group or individual and can be tailored to requirements. ie: just for fun or maybe you'd like to compete. There is also an enclosed area on artificial grass for those days when weather would stop play ! Highly recommend and it's not just agility, Pa caters for every aspect of dog training from puppies and beyond. Come along and join in the fun. Pa is a great trainer, who adjusts to each individual dogs needs. Few pics attached showing my dog with Pa. 😊 Less

Brilliant ! Great fun and Great Training!
Really nice lady, relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable on all aspects of dog training and behaviour. Our dachshund was abit unruly at 4 months, but took to training really well. Definitely recommend Pa.
Just completed the puppy foundation course with my flattie Finley. He did very well and still maintains the lessons that he learned with Pa. I also learned a lot. I would recommend this puppy course to everyone getting a new puppy.
Pa's style of training absolutely suited our pup, Leffe. We took away a great deal of information and enthusiasm which has helped us to continue training Leffe with confidence. We're looking forward to the next set of classes.
Pa is an excellent & hugely experienced trainer. I’ve had dogs for 30+ years & still learnt soo much in the puppy training classes. Lots of fun for owner & pup. Bonus to have classes with different breeds of other pups & friendly owners.
Sometimes in life you make bad choices but there are times when you know within moments you have made the best choice you could have made.

Sometimes in life you make bad choices but there are times when you know within moments you have made the best choice you could have made. My beautiful Labrador puppy was doing ok with her training but I knew we could do better with recall. Pa was clear, patient and my puppy adored her right from the word go. The games (exercises) were quick to pick up for both the puppy and myself and with just four private sessions I now have a puppy intensely focussed on me when I need her to be. If you need help with your dog, don't hesitate - pick up the phone! Less
Pa is excellent. We have a reactive dog and Pa has really helped both our dog and us with her training skills and advice. We really can’t thank her enough. She continues to be our guiding light. We are so glad we went to Pa and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. Thanks again Pa.
We have been dog owners for over 40 years and didn’t believe that there was too much we had left to learn. How wrong we were ! After taking on a rescue dog with a very complex variety of disruptive traits, we turned to Pa for help . Her positive training methods were amazing and taught us so much. Thank you Pa , see you soon.

Pa is very knowledgeable and was able to share positive and fun ways to train our puppies. She also took the time to address individual concerns with each client. The pups also had chance to socialise and meet other puppies and people, building their confidence.
We had a lovely time and learnt some very good training tips which have helped and saw improvement in the behaviour of our dog very nice atmosphere and would recommend

Great puppy training class, really helped to give my puppy boundaries.
Training with Pa was great! With a very enthusiastic puppy, she helped with lots of ideas and gave me a great deal of confidence. The advice is practical, supportive and helpful - its all great fun for dogs and owners too!
Super puppy training. Learnt lots of fun games to help our puppy become confident and clear about what we’re asking her to do. Highly recommend.
The one to one training my 18 month old cocker spaniel Rufus and I had with Pa has led to quite a transformation in his confidence - for the better! And I am now thoroughly enjoying his ongoing training with the techniques Pa passed on - we have a deeper bond which is lovely. A positive experience all round!
A great experience, training in a fun and positive fashion for both myself and Falco! My GSP.
I would like to give great big thank you, our Collie puppy Murphy has grown into a character over the last few weeks. The classes are fun for all and not just for pups and as a dog owner your learn so much through out the training. We had such a blast and thanks once more, see you soon for agility training.

We have a British Bulldog, before seeing Pa, we were at our wits end with George nipping at our feet, even though teething, he was becoming stressful. Pa is so welcoming and put us at ease right away. After the first session, George was like a different puppy. All 4 sessions with Pa have been a god send. We cannot thank Pa enough. Enjoyable, fun and lots of treats for George. Thank you Pa xxx
I have just completed the 6 week puppy course with my very excitable puppy Olive. Pa is a fantastic trainer who explains the importance for the correct training and how to get the best from your puppy with fun and kindness! … I highly recommend pa and very much looking forward to further courses and training.

Poppy and Bertie had a great time, we worked on various aspects and will continue to do so. Poppy, as a recent rescue, who had 3 unexpected puppies is now behaving better and has a proper spring in her step and seems so much better thanks to expert "Dog in a box's" guidance. Thank you, we will be back soon!
We just completed the 6 week puppy training course with Pa and it was awesome. Our pup Archie has come on such a long way in the time and absolutely loved coming on a Monday evening. We look forward to coming back with him for more training and to learn to do agility with him. Thank you Pa for all your support.
Pa is brilliant! Our puppy Dexter loves her and is doing so well with his training. We can’t wait to see how much more he improves over the next few weeks

At the start of the puppy training classes our pup was timid and very unsure of herself but by the end of the classes she was full of confidence. Pa has a wonderful approach and equipped us all with tips and ideas for training our pup.

Really enjoyed find ways to make my dog enjoy my company and become a well trained and obedient dog thank Pa.
Thank you so much Pa for all you support over the 6 weeks. We have learnt so much and really look forward to continuing our training with through our next set of classes. Steve and Amy :)
Excellent . My springer spaniel puppy has really improved with this training. He clearly enjoyed the training and we feel that we have benefited from learning new skills even though we were not novices in keeping energetic dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend dog in a box training

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 🐾
Well run training sessions with a good mixture of fun games to improve bonding with your puppy, and commands to keep them on track. Lovely facilities, and good practical advice. We had great fun.

Pa was fantastic with her training and her knowledge all things dog! No question was too silly and her sharing of information for a new puppy was very reassuring. Thanks for creating such a fun experience for both myself and Luna!
We took our two Labrador puppies to Pa for her puppy training course which was fantastic I have come away with happy and more obedient dogs and have also used what I have learned on my older Labrador. The training is fun and positive and in return we have positive reactions from Scooby and Archer. Thank you so much Pa

Took Rosie for 6 weeks puppy training with Philippa who was very patient with me and my pup. They helped me to understand my puppy better and would definitely recommend Dog-in-a-box dog training.
We learnt ,Glen and I ,lots of new ways .Feeding on the ground and only for rewards was one of the best..Just chatting through problems was very helpful. Glen is now a calmer dog .

Pa is kind, understanding and professional in her approach. She offers an excellent service and clearly loves what she does. Her manner with both dogs and their humans is that of patience. She has a desire to help, building the bond in the process and helping with any issues that there may be. I'm truly grateful for meeting Pa and for the help Jade and I have received so far.
Jessie and Monty love their lessons with Pa! Super welcoming and super helpful. Highly recommended!
A friendly greeting given to both owner and dogs. No pressure approach to training. Concentrates on making training fun with reward based response. Safe environment for all in the group sessions.
My pup has developed beyond what I expected in terms of obedience and confidence. More importantly, she absolutely loved going there. Highly recommended. Thanks Pa!

We got a 3 year collie last November which had received little or no training, a beautiful sweet natured dog who was terrified of everything, people, noises, other animals, and would cower in his kennel most of the time. When we tried getting him into the car he would flatten himself to the ground. We started weekly 121 training sessions with Pa in December and with her guidance and patience we now have a very confident and lively collie, who is a bit of scatterbrain but he is responding really well to training. He now leaps into the back of the car when we go out, sits, stays and returns on command (most of the time). Initially it was difficult to walk with him on a lead without him lunging ahead, he now walks really well alongside us without any pulling and tugging. Pa’s firm and quiet patience (not only with the dog) has been invaluable. I would happily recommend her services to anyone in need of an extremely knowledgable dog trainer. 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
