Dawn supported me and my GSD Ella to get confidence swimming and accessing the pool which was marvellous non weight baring fun exercise which Ella really enjoyed and developed confidence with.The pool appeared very clean and well maintained, with a dock diving area for confident dogs and the ramp for those less confident with jumping in, it also provided easy access for them to get out.There were toys to play with but we took our own which of course need to float and had lots of fun. Will definitely visit again, Thankyou Dawn.

I give Preston Trick Dogs 11 out of 10. Dawn Heaton is fully qualified in many areas of dog training, I or should I say we as in ( two of my dogs) have learned so much since joining the PTD family from the online classes and workshops which I can recommend. I love the trick training which is great for building a greater bond with our dogs. All the training is delivered in a fun way which makes us humans and dogs want to do more. Dawn also adapts her workshops to accommodate dogs that may not be confident working around other dogs which makes it inclusive for all. Puppies, older, dogs, rescues and everything in between are made welcome, in addition the training is adapted to the dog and handler in front of Dawn, it isn't a case of one cap fits all. There's lots available to choose from, take a look then book on you won't go wrong that's for sure. Thank you for everything Dawn from Marion & Max

I’d been looking for a trainer for our 4 year old pocket pointer rescue for a while, thank god we found Dawn and PTD. Puppy classes are excellent, well managed and focus on teaching the owners the foundation and basics, well. I can see a huge difference in the relationship and bond we have with Verne thanks to all the hints and tips we’ve learnt. Dawn is a master of her craft and a fountain of knowledge when it comes to dogs of all shapes and sizes. Absolutely brilliant!!! 🤩

As a business we've hosted Dawn from Preston Trick Dogs to the Scottish Borders for the last 3 year for Tricks & Heelwork to Music workshops and they have always been absolutely fantastic. Dawn works with each team to make sure they fully understand everything. Always a sell out and always so much fun for both the dogs and owners!
