Me and Ozzy have had the BEST time doing Foundation Sports Classes with Erin. It’s both our first experience attending training classes and I couldn’t be more impressed. Erin was so accommodating and was happy to adapt the class to what we wanted to learn each week. The support outside of the classes went above and beyond with weekly emails including the exercises we had learnt and an online group with competitions and challenges. Ozzy has improved so much and is doing things I never thought he could at only 5 months old. We will definitely be continuing classes with Pure Dog Adventure Training 😊😊

Bess, relatively new to me rescue dog, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our first training classes. Both my mobility issues and Bess's needs were met in practical ways that ensured we participated and enjoyed ourselves.
With Bess making progress and gaining in confidence.
We shall be going back to continue our training journey as soon as we can.
I would definately recommend Pure Dog Training to help with training for your dog/s.

We needed a proper trainer for our very driven working spaniel with ADHD. Laura teaches long term interaction reward based training, 18 months on we have a hyper spaniel who is fully under control, and loves his work and scent training. Always on hand for advice via social media or WattsApp. A working dogs needs are different to other dogs, Pure Dog has the programme nailed perfectly.

Thanks Laura

My Springer Spaniel Alan & I have recently started Scent Detection classes with Laura. Alan’s favourite thing in the world is ‘Find it’ and he loves to go litter picking in the forest, so we wanted to expand on this and we are over the moon we did.
He’s picked it up so quickly and actually I’m more the student now. I love learning new things each week from Laura (and Alan).
I leave every Monday evening with a super tired spaniel and a huge smile on my face. Not only has Alan learned a new skill, I’m finding he's more obedient and we’ve formed a much closer bond.

We have recently started attending Scent Class with our newly rehomed Labrador, Teasel. We knew Laura was the trainer for us because of how lovely and positive she is towards our other dogs (who both attend sports class). Our new Labrador was previously a working dog, is quite nervous, and can be a bit of a grump! Laura suggested a complete change of 'hobby' and Scent has worked really well for us. The dogs work individually, work hard but also have plenty of brain breaks. Laura's positivity, and the other lovely people that attend the class, put me (and Teasel) at ease immediately. We have being doing some practice at home and I certainly am seeing a happier side to Tea - she LOVES it. Scent is amazing for anxious dogs that want to use their brain - and us humans who want a post-training peaceful evening!!

I am so grateful to Laura and all the training techniques. She has shown me over the past 12 months with a Monty. I managed to take him to MJ‘s café in the village at the same time as 4/5 mums with pushchairs and babies all arrived. They then decided to move the furniture around so they could all fit in. Monty just sat there as quiet as anything just watching what was happening, and then another lady came in with a small dog again Monty‘s reaction wasn’t that bothered just sat by me and wanted to see what was going on. I rewarded him with lots of treats and praise. Tell him what a clever boy he was for a Labrador that’s 22 months old to be able to do this was absolutely fantastic. I feel quite confident now that I can take Monty anywhere a pub, a café or restaurant and he’s so well-behaved it’s all down to the training and the techniques and the time and perseverance that we put in with a Monty. So if anybody is struggling out there with their pup and wondering if you’ll ever get to that point ! You will just follow the training practice practice and you will get there and you will then have an amazing pup x

Laura gives so much help and encouragement from the very first scentwork lesson and she is the gift that just keeps giving.  All of my dogs have enjoyed their time at scentwork adventure training and it has been amazing to watch their confidence growing during that time.  We have been there since the start of her scentwork classes and sincerely hope to be there for many more years to come.  I'd recommend that everyone give Pure Dog Adventure Training a try .....  there will be something to 'fit' you and your dog there.

Our 3 year old Labrador, Eric, has come on in leaps and bounds after attending the monthly scent class. Laura and her team do an excellent job of training the humans too. They genuinely want to see your dog do well and improve how they search. We have learned so much and know that it's never too late to train your dog at any age. We have also tried the weekly sports class which is a good mix of mental stimulation and fun games for the dogs. Eric in particular has learned his best socialisation skills here meaning we can train without him being distracted by other dogs. Our bond is so much stronger as a result.

My gorgeous Willow started to come to Laura when she was just a little pup. I realised I had accidentally over socialised her and she believed every dog was her best friend which resulted in poor recall and a safety issue. I went to Laura to help neutralise Willow around other dogs (which has worked wonders) but we soon realised what a wuss she was (Willow, not Laura). I started taking Willow to sports classes which at first I thought was mad because she didn’t have the confidence to do any of the things compared to all the other dogs BUT Laura gave us all the tools to build her confidence and complete different tasks. Never would I have imagined Willow retrieving a dummy, going through hoops or even jumping on unfamiliar objects but she does all of this now! I couldn’t recommend Laura enough! She has such patience for dogs and humans and wants what’s best and the dogs to be enjoying it every step of the way!

Thank you Laura!

Since starting classes with Laura, over a year ago, Dan (the dog) and I have come a long way! You can take everything at your own pace and Laura always comes up with new and individual ways to get things to work for you and your dog. The sessions are always fun (for the humans and dogs) and you can expect real results with whatever it is you are wanting to work on with your dog :)
