  • We had a 1-2-1 session with Adell to help with our pups pulling and lunging on walks as he has a leg problem. The difference even after one session has been amazing. We are definitely going to go back for more sessions. I'd highly recommend as Adell's attention to detail and after care email etc was all amazing.

  • Adell gives a very professional service. She understands that rescue dogs are not so easy to handle through no fault of their own. Definitely going back for more sessions.

  • Excellent session and the advice regarding working with our reactive puppy was straight on. Adell fitted us in quickly as we were holidaying in Orkney and needed 1-2-1 help to support Mabel.

  • Luna has had a few traumatic experiences which has left her very anxious. Adell came to our home and gave us tasks to do each day to start to build Luna back up. We have since been out to Adell and did some lead work too. Adell is very reassuring and patient with Luna and is also building my confidence up too. I know this will be a slow process but so happy we found Adell.

  • We went to see Adell for a 1-2-1 session and I can say it was worth every penny spent from start to finish. Adell was patient, clear and very helpful. She gave us simple tips and training for recall and much more. We got a follow up report sent to us almost straight away and I am already seeing so much difference in working with Riley. Overall, I couldn't recommend Adell more.

  • First 1 to 1 session with Adell was excellent. She made us feel at ease and I'm sure myself and Wolfy are going to learn heaps. Now on to the homework. 😁

  • I recently had a 121 session with Adell and my girls Jessie and Ruby, we all very much enjoyed it and learnt lots. An in depth follow up report was sent promptly allowing me to continue training at home before our next session. I have recommended Adell to a family member also! Highly recommend!

  • 1:1 session with Adell was fantastic. She is both knowledgeable and patient and put both of us at ease almost instantly. Would definitely recommend 😊

    Cathy & Winnie
  • We had a great time learning new training games with our pup Bailey. Adell explained what we needed to do and why we needed to do it, in a very relaxed and easy to follow way. We learned lots and Bailey enjoyed himself so much. Definately be back.
