I wish I had found Sue’s class for my dog’s puppy course as we previously attended a course with too many dogs present and he found it too distracting. Good Start Dog Training is held in a large venue with barriers to help young dogs to focus. Training Loki in this environment was so much easier and a lot of fun. The skills are broken down into easy steps for both the owner and the dog. Sue is ...

Before we started our six week junior training course we had a one to one session first to see how Kira would respond. Sue was very clear in her instruction both to us as dog owners and to Kira who responded very well. The Racey Recall is brilliant as a back up call. I was very impressed with every aspect of the training as there was no way I would have done it by myself. It is invaluable to...

We found this course excellent . The development of our puppy was fantastic and was a joy to see and watch as the weeks went by. Sue was very professional in her approach and her methods, above all she is very caring and sympathetic in her work, obviously loves dogs. Thank you, Ray, Chris and especially Poppy.

Training is SO important. We didn’t realise how much there was to learn whilst training your puppy. The classes are a great way to start your training, making your relationship with your dog stronger. Also much less stressful having a better behaved dog! Excitable Eric has loved every class. Thank you. Emma

Although I have read many training books it can be very confusing and attending the training class helped to focus in a practical and down to earth way. Jenny McWilliam (and Milly)

My daughter and I look forward to the classes every week – it was great that the classes enabled all the family to be involved in our puppy’s training. It was an informal, friendly class and we picked up lots of useful information. It was great to see our puppy progress and become increasingly responsive. We will be signing up for the next stage!   Jane Stephens (and Austin)

Sue’s classes give good clear instructions on training skills and it is delivered at the right pace and in understandable sizes of information at each session. Sue herself explains very well some dog psychology which shows how dogs can react well or badly as a result of good/ not good training. A big emphasis on socializing and why it is so important for all dogs. Sue also encourages conversation ...

Sue always has an element of fun in the classes for the puppies and accepts each puppy learns at it’s own pace. She also has lots of different ways to teach the same thing so even if you have attended classes with another puppy it is not the same. I also trust her to only introduce methods of teaching that are positive which is very important for sensitive puppies.   Elizabeth Ayrton an...
