I cannot speak highly enough of Leah and have already recommended Positive Training For Canines to a number of people as a result of our positive experience.  My dog has attended Leah’s classes since he was a young puppy (he is now 1.5 years), recall workshops and has recently started fun agility which he ABSOLUTELY LOVES – an hour that works his little legs but most importantly, his very busy brain!  Puppyhood and adolescence has brought us a number of challenges which has tested us as dog owners – we had sleepless nights and anxiety issues around being left and subsequently, being around other dogs.  Leah has helped us tackle each of these as they have arisen.  She is approachable, non-judgemental and has always helped us see all the amazing behaviours our dog offers us all the time!  We are very lucky to have such a strong bond with our dog, a relationship of mutual understanding and trust, which I honestly believe that without Leah’s assistance we may not have achieved.

I am attending classes with my new puppy Olive, this is the second dog I have had as an adult and I went to other classes when my last dog was little. I am really impressed with the classes which are very calm and provide a good learning environment for puppy and owners. We’ve picked up loads of ideas for practising training at the classes and through all the emails. Leah is also very happy to help chat through specific problems at the class or by phone and gives great support and ideas. I would highly recommend – a great investment with any new dog.

Leah is very responsive to questions and provides advice based on the individual dog’s requirements.

Leah has been amazing at helping us with our 14 week old whippet. We have been going to her puppy classes for 4 weeks now and we have learnt so much that we can put into practice when we are home and out about. Definitely recommend Leah’s classes!

So looking forward to outdoor Fun Agility classes restarting every April! This is our third year participating, and both human and dog absolutely love it.

We’re now back with our 10 week old new arrival, Otis, another black lab. He’s enjoyed his first 2 classes with Leah. Leah also sends Puppy Power Pointer emails each day covering common puppy issues (biting/chewing, not saying no, how to gradually leave the pup alone) which have been really helpful.

We would recommend Positive Training For Canines with out reservation- thanks Leah!

Leah came to see us, identified Taff’s problems and put together a programme to help us overcome them with weekly Zoom calls for anxiety and latterly a combination of one to one and group sessions with other dogs for jumping up, always followed up with email notes on each session.

Taff has improved massively under Leah’s guidance. We are sure if Taff could have seen her when he was a young puppy his problems would not have developed, as it is really owner training, the dogs are smart enough to understand what they are asked to do.

We can not thank her enough for her help.

I have attended Leah’s online classes for the last 3 months with my puppy. It has been fantastic. I’m new to positive reinforcement training and each week we’d learn new exercises to practice with our dogs. My puppy has loved it all and is now far better behaved, with better lead work than I’ve ever achieved before with traditional methods. Leah explains the ‘dog logic’ behind the methods she uses and looks to solve problems from the dogs perspective so you set them and yourself up for success. It works. Couldn’t ask for better.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you so much for your help and attention at times when we needed you. I’ll confess, I was sceptical at first about how dog training could be done online but you did a terrific job at adapting and we got a lot out of it.

I think back to my rather anxious email to you asking for tips back in October when we picked Ruby up and now look at the lovely pet that Ruby has grown into.

Thank you so much for your help to date and your clear dedication to the training, clearly more than just a job to you!

We have worked with Leah with 2 dogs now and have found her to be kind and understanding with lots of helpful hints and tips. Our eldest dog is now 8 years old and an absolute joy, yet as a puppy her fear aggression was so problematic that she was almost unmanageable. Our vet even suggested that euthanasia might be the best option! Yet Leah supported and encouraged us to keep trying and her techniques have really paid off. We now have a really wonderful dog that we can take anywhere without worrying.

More recently, we have acquired a new puppy who is also becoming reactive in adolescence. Leah has been able to provide clear targeted advice once again. She is calm and positive with an uncritical approach which makes it easy to ask for help when it is needed. We have attended puppy and junior classes and Leah has been really helpful in ensuring that we get the most out of these sessions despite the extra challenge of an anxious puppy. The classes are well-run and in a calm environment. I would definitely recommend her classes to all new dog owners and to anyone in need of extra help with behavioural issues. We are really thankful for her hard work and expertise.
