Leads and Wellies Reviews 5

Laura was exceptional with Luca. At the start, I felt quite overwhelmed and unsure how to manage his strong husky traits, and I honestly didn’t think we would make much progress. However, Laura completely changed that. She broke everything down into clear, practical steps and showed us effective training methods that were easy to apply consistently.

We had four sessions, each in different environments, which made a huge difference in helping Luca generalise his behaviour rather than just responding in one setting. Laura was patient, knowledgeable, and very hands-on, always taking the time to explain the reasoning behind each technique so we felt confident continuing the training ourselves.

Since working with her, Luca has improved significantly in his behaviour and responsiveness, and I feel much more in control and confident as an owner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive dog trainer.

Laura has been fantastic helping us with our 8 month old cockapoo Suki! She provided excellent advice around training treats, choosing more natural options. We’ve been having frequent lessons with Laura, mostly focusing on loose lead walking and practicing recall for off lead! Would highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for support to train their puppy!

Laura was recommended to us and has been a great help with our toy poodle puppy. All of her techniques are gentle and kind, but so effective. He now walks happily on a loose lead and is well mannered when out and about, we’ve had lots of comments on his good behaviour. She has also really helped us with his separation anxiety and with her encouragement he is making good progress at being left alone. I would recommend Laura to anyone wanting personalised support in their home environment. We had been to puppy classes previously but Laura’s puppy package was much better value for money. She is so lovely and our puppy loves her visits as much as we do!

Working with Laura has really helped with the training of my 7 month old cocker spaniel Mabel. Notoriously hard to train Laura had shared and shown strategies and techniques to support Mabel’s training. There is still work to be done and look forward to working with Laura again, but we have some very solid foundations thanks to her expertise. Would highly recommend.

As first time puppy parents, my husband and I quickly became aware of our lack of experience in raising an exuberant pup, made all the more challenging by having two young children, so we signed up for Laura’s VIP sessions without hesitation. These sessions were invaluable for bolstering our confidence and enjoyment of our dog, Lola, and we noticed an almost immediate improvement in her obedience and own enjoyment.

Laura is knowledgeable, friendly, reassuring and readily available - the puppy training is really only a part of her service, she has been such a support to us! I genuinely feel that we have had a much more special experience in this fleeting part of Lola’s life because of Laura - we all feel much more tuned in to Lola’s needs and behaviours. Investing the time and money at this stage means we are well on our way to a contented life with our dog; we will definitely be signing up for her dog training sessions when Lola is old enough.
