Adrian with Amber the Labrador
I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. I’ve learnt so much since starting training, and the progress my dog has made has been incredible.
The teaching is clear, practical and lots of fun. I’ve become much more confident in handling my dog, particularly with recall and heel walking, but also with retrieving, including both obedience and gundog training. My dog also had an unpleasant habit of scavenging which Sarah has taught me how to deal with.
What I really appreciate is how attentive Sarah is to my dog. She is able to explain my dog’s behaviour clearly and help me understand not just what my dog is doing, but why she is doing it. That has made a huge difference to how I approach her training.
The classes are excellent, and the 1-to-1 sessions have been incredibly helpful too. I’ve learnt a huge amount and have seen such a difference in my dog.
I genuinely can’t recommend my trainer highly enough!
Testimonials
Alison with Hattie the Golden Retriever
Sarah at Hollindale Working Dogs has saved my relationship with my dog. As a puppy we had a different trainer who left me feeling so unconfident as a dog owner that my relationship with my puppy suffered badly, and she ended up being very difficult to train and I was on the brink of giving up.
Sarah showed me how to work with my dog and how to change the dynamic between us.
After an inspiring 1 on 1 assessment where Sarah highlighted where we could make changes we saw an immediate improvement in our dogs response to us. We followed this up with 6 weeks Adolescent Classes.
We now have a lovely relationship with our 11 month old Golden Retriever, who is still in training, as are we, but we are loving being dog owners and seeing how clever our dog is.
Alice with Conker the Working Cocker Spaniel
Had a 1-1 consultation with Sarah for my then 9 week old WCS puppy, where Sarah came round and I got loads of useful advice on how to raise him to make sure he has the best start, followed by training plan guides which I can keep referring back to (and the rest of the family!) It’s also great to be able to message Sarah with any questions I have, she’s always helpful and really knowledgeable.
I then attended the Puppy life skills course, which has been a great way to keep up the momentum of training, and we learnt new skills every week. Everything Sarah teaches, she explains why it is taught that way in terms of how the dog understands it, which makes it easier to follow and more engaging. Enjoyed it so much and seen such good progress that we’ve booked onto the next Adolescence course.
Thanks Sarah for your help so far.
