Testimonials

"We enrolled our Shichon puppy, Amber, in the Play 'n' Learn Beginner classes when she was three months old. Over the six classes, Amber's ability and behaviour greatly improved and she's now doing all sorts of impressive tricks as well as the basic 'sit', 'down' and 'stay' etc! Julia and Chris were brilliant; very knowledgeable and informative and the small classes enabled each dog to get individual attention. We would highly recommend these classes to all dog owners. (A Shichon is a Bichon Frise - Shih tzu cross!)

"Julia and her colleagues are THE most helpful dog trainers. Julia was recommended by my vet, who knows a thing or two about canine behaviour and what works.  And Julia certainly knows what works.  She's super.

Julia's classes and one-to-one sessions are great.  It's fun for the dogs - they love it.  She gives owners the confidence that they can do it - her methods really make the difference.

All the owners and dogs that I have seen her teach have been successful - even me!  She is as gentle with people as she is with the dogs.   Nothing is too much trouble for her bright and breezy personality, and the classes are organised and structured most professionally.  I cannot recommend Play 'N' Learn too highly"

"We have two rescue Weimaraners, one of which had been extremely badly mistreated and didn't know any commands.  She was so nervous of people and other dogs and desperately needed to be socialised.

The Play and Learn Training classes with Julia and her team were so relaxed and friendly with simple clicker and reward techniques. Portia soon became more relaxed herself and in no time was responding to commands.

Portia benefitted from the small number of dogs in the class as Julia was able to give each dog individual attention.
The classes were fun and rewarding for us as well as the dogs."

"Our family and dog, Holly, have had a lot of fun on two of Julia's obedience classes and one trick training class.  We learnt how to teach Holly to sit, down, stay and leave using the clicker technique

We have done other training classes with previous dogs but the clicker is very effective.

Holly is a stubborn dog and easily distracted but she loved these classes and the fun we had following up with training at home and out on walks was good (unless a squirrel was spotted!!!). 

Our girls particularly enjoyed the trick training classes and how to begin teaching the tricks.  Thank you to you all!"

"We are a family with a young puppy Cocker Spaniel called Jenson.  We started going to Play 'N' Learn puppy school when Jenson was 9 weeks old.  We had never owned a dog before so everything was new, Julia has taught us how to discipline, play and learn with our dog using the clicker system. Every week we have become more confident and our puppy has learned various rules of dog training.
 
I can highly recommend Play 'N' Learn Puppy school and  we will definitely go onto the more advance course with Julia."

"Bliss has attended all of Julia's Play 'N' Learn clicker training classes, she has really enjoyed each one starting with the puppy class, through the intermediate class and most recently the tricks class.

Bliss has learnt a great deal from the classes and enjoys showing off her new skills, we use all the skills Bliss has learnt on a day to day basis. Bliss also enjoyed the social side of the classes meeting new dogs and making friends."
