What dog owners say about Doggie Dawdles

  • - Debbie Spooner-Chapman -

    I would highly recommend Tracy. My dog was very timid and Tracy made us feel safe on our first day of training. We had 7 training sessions and enjoyed ever single one. My dog learnt a lot over the 7 weeks. We found tracy a very patient person very kind and a very good trainer. I would definitely go back to her if I ever needed to.

  • - Alaina Matthews -

    Tracey helped us address our Springer's aggression and guarding behavior when he was on strict crate rest due to a leg injury. Her guidance not only improved our pup's relationship with our cats but also addressed the issue of him pulling on the lead. Thanks to Tracey's expertise, we have seen significant progress in our dog's behavior. We are grateful to have her as our trainer.

  • - Liz Mary -

    Tracey is always so helpful and brilliant with our dogs. She is really lovely and has the dogs best interests at heart at all times. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

  • - Gemma Vaughn -

    Our boy loves his home visits from Tracey. She plays enrichment games with him as well as giving cuddles and attention. Tracey’s communication is on point! Would 100% recommend her.

  • - Amanda Bevis -

    I can't recommend Tracey highly enough. Her care, patience and compassion to the dogs is first class.
