What Our Clients Say

Check out some of the amazing feedback we get from our clients

Jess is a very competent dog trainer. She teaches you how to gain and maintain the attention of your dog to enforce positive behaviour. Our dog made massive progress after puppy class.

Ulrike Behrendt

Jess is a brilliant trainer, she is so helpful with every query and question whether that was in class or a text message after hours. She made every lesson fun and engaging and my dog was always so happy to see her. I cannot recommend Jess highly enough - her dedication and passion for these pups shows and I just think she’s fantastic at what she does. Thank you for everything Jess

Emily Girling

Had a fantastic time at our first Hoopers workshop. Jess was very clear with her instructions, and really helpful with noticing the small adjustments needed. Jess made the whole experience fun and informative. Buddy really enjoyed himself and so did I. Cannot wait for the next workshop. Many thanks Jess

Tracy Wyatt

I have just had our second 1-2-1 training session with our 1 year old spaniel. Jess recognises his “spaniel instincts” and tailors the training techniques for the best outcome. We are working on lead pulling, recall and engagement and I can’t believe the difference in just 2 sessions! If you’re looking for a kind and knowledgeable trainer I would highly recommend Jess!

Lisa Thompson

I really enjoyed our training sessions with Jess - sometimes it can be hard to find dog trainers who are good with dogs and humans but Jess definitely ticks both boxes! Her teaching was always clear and straightforward to replicate and she was always more than happy to take extra time to go over anything we were struggling with. I look forward to learning from her again!

Dog training can be overwhelming and emotional for dog owners. It can be difficult to understand why your dog is exhibiting a behaviour. Do not feel lost and overwhelmed, speak to our qualified trainer for advice and reassurance.
