Brave and Courageous Pooches

Do you have a young pup that needs socializing? These workshops aim to help owners build their young dogs confidence around different stimuli that your dog may experience over its life. Early exposure helps the puppy learn and develop confidence. There is a misconception when it comes to socialistion. It is lead to believe that you should introduce your puppy to everyone, every thing and every dog. This can actually teach your dog the wrong thing and lead to frustration later in life. If you teach your dog that they can greet every dog in the park at a young age this will develop into poor recall later in life. A lack of soclialisation can lead to problems, it can lead to a worries or anxious adult dog due to lack of general exposure.

Socialisation is actually teaching your animals how to behave in a way that is acceptable to society.The workshop aims to help dog owners learn how to correctly socialise and build their dog’s confidence.

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.
