I can totally recommend Sue from Good Start Dog Training, her lessons were productive and the information and support between lessons was invaluable as putting into practice what we had learned made the progress much quicker . Sue stated that training yourself as much as your dog was essential and after these things started to come together I understood why. I would totally recommend Sue for any o...

Fleur has just completed the Enjoy your Walks course with Sue. On this course we learnt a lot of useful tips to use on our walks including avoiding distractions/ learning to walk near other dogs and the great Rucksack walk! Thank you for another successful course. I would thoroughly recommend Sue as a trainer. Her excellent follow up emails after each week remind us of our homework and Sue is a...

We were a little worried about Orla’s training and socialisation having got her as a puppy in lockdown, but Sue’s online classes were perfect. The classes and exercises were really well thought out and very practical and fun to practice in between sessions. We look forward to taking everything we’ve learned and continuing to enjoy our time and training with Orla who we feel now has had the best st...

Would highly recommend this Puppy course. My pup has made so much progress and so have I. We have had clear structure that we have enjoyed following; the advice has been excellent. It’s hard work and you have to put the time in, but the rewards are seeing your pup become confident and controlled in a range of situations. Massive progress, but there’s much more to do, so we have already signed up f...

The Junior training course was great! Sue was very knowledgeable, provided a range of training techniques which were delivered in a fun way! The weekly emails were really appreciated as a reminder of what we did in class, really relatable methods easily practiced at home.   Dawn Haddrick, Steven Blascow and Ralph the dog – Junior Class- June '19

Sue has taught us all the skills we need to develop our own positive training philosophy. We really feel we have a ‘good start’ to build upon. A lovely calm and welcoming class that our whole family enjoyed; we would recommend it to any family with small children.   Courtney, David, Kitty (9), Iyda (5) and our black Lab Clemmie – 14 weeks old.

Sue is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher. The lessons were always interesting with lots of participation required. So many toys, props and dog treats. We thoroughly enjoyed every lesson and thought the course great value.   Katy and Andrew with Jet – Sept 2019 Junior Class

Sue’s classes have been well structured and informative. Although I’m an experienced dog owner, Finlay is my third springer puppy. There was much in the lesson content that I had not considered before. I liked the ‘reward good behaviour approach’ in principle and Sue underpins all the sessions with prompt emails that leave the forgetful with little excuse but to follow up. David Henderson &...

Purdey and her human have attended Puppy and Junior Classes and have really enjoyed the tuition Sue has given us, with patience, fun and her knowledge, all the dogs and their humans have come away with ideas to enhance Dog / Human relationship. I have no hesitation in recommending Sue’s Classes. Annette and Purdey.

My lovely Sheltie is now 15 months old and is evolving into a really charming and happy dog. I owe such a sweet doggie nature in large part to Sue and her training and support. She cares passionately about the happiness of your dog and their welfare and is clear and patient about training steps and is awash with good ideas and solutions to behaviour problems. She really is the Mary Poppins of the ...
