EXCELLENT Based on 202 reviews Posted on Google mazastar chanclasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lee Valley Dog Training School has been fantastic. The puppy lessons were just what we needed – clear, practical, and really helpful. Peggy Sue has now completed her training, and the difference is amazing. She’s a happy, confident pup, and that’s thanks to the time and support we got from the team. Definitely worth the effort – I’m so pleased I chose Lee Valley.Posted on Google Dean LangsdonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had a session with Winston for our 3 yr old Cuckerpoo Teddy who suffers from separation anxiety. Already seen a difference after one session, Winston was calm and patient and very professional. He had some excellent advice and we wished we had seen him earlier. Would highly recommend and we are hopeful that we have turned a corner with Teddy.Posted on Google Jess GatfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great 1:1 home session to help with our new puppy which included helping to overcome his fear of the stairs and training for the lead to help him on walks. We are looking forward to puppy classes next to help with socialising!Posted on Google Wickeddragon13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time puppy class and it couldn’t have gone any better, very professional and lovely. They know what they are talking about and I learned loads as did Finn. Looking forward to next weeks classPosted on Google Kelly TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve only had one session with Winston so far, but we’re already so impressed! Our dog Reggie is highly reactive to just about everything, and Winston handled him with such calm confidence. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us some practical tips and strategies that are already making a difference. It’s clear he really understands dog behavior and takes the time to tailor his approach. We’re looking forward to booking more sessions and continuing Reggie’s progress. Highly recommend Winston to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive dog trainer!Posted on Google charlotte de le VingneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have loved training with (we started with our labradoodle puppy and progressed to middle/ adult dog) Lee Valley Dog Training School. So many schools you have to commit to an 8 week programme, and while that might suit some. The fact that there is flexibility of pay as you go works so well around family and general life. The classes are small and friendly everyone routing for each other and the outdoor classes (there are indoor ones too) use a lot to real life distractions. From walking past dogs without reactions, genuine noices and smells, to long recalls without getting distracted by others milling around. The trainers are also always willing to have a laugh, whether dancing for distractions or threatening us with having to make cakes if our dogs steel sausages. No questions feel stupid and no mistakes made by us (not our dogs feel too bad, just something to learn from) Rogue is a family dog we won’t be doing any crazy competitions but I want a dog that is disciplined, that I can relax with, and enjoy in all situations and that is what Lee valley is helping me (as we will contribute to, as we will keep coming for me and the dog love it) with. Dogs love to learn and this is a great environment to do it.Posted on Google lucia angeloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a 121 with Winston and talked about behavioural issues that are rescued dog had. He was very quick to identify the issues and set to work addressing each one in a clear and concise way. He got all the family on board with training and we went through all the steps. Allowing each family member a go at using the training techniques and correcting us. Since seeing Winston our dog’s behaviour has improved remarkably and we as a family can’t recommend him & his team enough, thank you Christou FamilyPosted on Google Roy AinsworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant dog training school, Winston is incredibly knowledgeable! him and Kat have worked wonders getting my boerboel to where she is today i cant thank them enough.Posted on Google Alan BridgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enrolled our puppy, Bailey, at Lee Valley Dog Training School, and it’s been an amazing experience from start to finish! The trainers—especially Winston, and team are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about each dog’s progress. The class sizes are small, which meant Bailey got plenty of individual attention. The friendly, supportive atmosphere made every session enjoyable. We now feel more confident taking Bailey out and about. If you’re looking for a professional and caring place to train your puppy, I can't recommend Lee Valley Dog Training School enough. It’s been a fantastic investment in Bailey’s future and our peace of mind.

Winston and Team are just fabulous, can't recommend them enough. The 1-2-1 home visit when we first got the pup was great, really useful and confidence giving, it helped us work through potential challenges particularly with using the crate. Following this we have attended weekly puppy training group sessions and it has been a delight to see both the pup and my daughter develop and learn together, and looking forward to further fun now he has moved up to Middle School! There is a lovely informal vibe at the school, whilst still being very professional, and any nerves my daughter had about taking part were completely negated. The flexibility is also great - you can pay as you go and don't have to sign up for a set period, or attend every week which means you really can fit around other commitments.
We just finished our one on one session with our 9 week Rhodesian ridgeback pup Maui. After only a few days we found ourselves overwhelmed- not sure if we were doing enough or doing things the right way- anxiety was starting to set in- some may call it the puppy blues- but after one hour with Winston we feel relieved, refreshed and most of all excited for the journey ahead. He listened to our very long list of questions and qualms and gave us amazing advice which is working instantly- we feel ready to continue steering our puppy to be happy and healthy dog. Winston thank you so much, we can’t wait to join your puppy classes once Maui is fully vaccinated.
I've gone to LVDT since my dog was a puppy. Highly rate them and one of the only dog training schools that offer drop in training, rather than having to sign up for a course. I've learnt so much and the trainer, Winston is really positive and chilled. My puppy hit adolescence at lockdown which was really tough. I arranged a one hour home visit with Winston, the trainer, once lockdown eased and I can honestly say it's the best thing I've ever done. The transformation was unbelievable and just one hour of my time. The change in my dog is so noticeable that I've been asked for Winston's number several times. I can't thank these guys enough.
All of us at Lee Valley Dog Training School look forward to meeting you and your dog and helping you form a loving and loyal relationship.
