Taking The Lead

Great classes for puppies and dogs, very experienced trainer using kind, thoughtful methods. Our pup was coming when called within a few weeks no matter what was around. Classes are small with assistant to give extra help. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful dog training class, both my dog and I gained a lot out of these lessons including more confidence in each other. The outside lesson was great fun! Hoping to go to further classes as Rex really enjoyed himself!

We booked onto Gill's online puppy course - although we have a rescue 14 month old dog. Gill has been brilliant - we've learned loads and our dog has benefitted hugely from the course. It's a completely different technique from anything I've come across before and it works beautifully and is a lot of fun. Gill has repeatedly gone the extra mile for us - and we're hugely grateful to her. Can't recommend the course enough.

We signed up for the course when our dog was 12 months old. The classes are smallish which was much better with plenty of help & advice.We have found our dog to have really embraced the training & so did we.Would highly reccomend Taking the Lead.

We started puppy training classes with Gill over Zoom when ours was just 8 weeks old. I was a bit apprehensive at first as to whether it would work remotely. I couldn't have been more wrong. The classes have been excellent. Gill explains the benefits of a certain game, how to do it and then we have a go, with Gill providing excellent feedback. Our puppy has really benefited from them and has helped us to understand him better (why he does the things that he does). I'm so glad we didn't wait for restrictions to be eased before signing up.

Really friendly and focused on the dogs just what you need

I have always been sceptical of dog behaviorists, trainers etc after knowing so many people waste money with little or no success.However we noticed the amazing reviews about Gill and we're not disappointed.Her professionalism and knowledge is exceptional and with just one lesson, she changed our lives.She explained what happens in a dogs mind, when you do certain things, she was truly amazing.We now have a calm and totally manageable border collie and we cannot recommend her highly enough.If you have a problem with your dog. Any problem, this is the person to call.
