School of Dogs Reviews Summary

Obedience and Behavioral Training

Pros:

• "Lee uses modern methods, clear and easy to follow techniques and the dogs adore him."
• "I cannot thank Lee enough for the Outdoor dog training I've just completed with my vizsla, Frankie."

Cons:

• "Pip suffers with severe anxiety to the point she is now medicated to take the edge off."
• "One class said Pip was just a naughty dog that hadn't been told right from wrong."
• "Another class only today told me that when Pip barks I should jerk her lead and shout 'no' firmly'."
• "Another class didn't want the 'problem'."

Socialization and Confidence Building

Pros:

• "Stanley loves them, they are part of his pack and it has made him a better more confident dog."
• "Very reasonably priced and got so much out of it as a first time dog owner with tools to get the best out of the dog as it grows."
• "Nala gets plenty of socialising when at agility class and out for walks (even if she’s a drama queen)."
• "We've just completed an intensive puppy course & can highly recommend school of dogs. What I liked most was that the classes were limited to 6 which means if you're struggling Lee will notice and give you extra support."
• "It was daunting thinking about leaving her when she was still so young, but the team are so relaxed, friendly and confident, and they all adore her."
• "Our dog gets excited to go to the day school on Friday’s and comes home so happy. He’s really well socialised with other dogs."
• "Our puppy Pepper absolutely loves Doggy Day School at School of Dogs!"
• "She went from being nervous and at times reactive to being a calm, mostly unfazed dog."

Cons:

• "Due to illness I could not do a lot of training and thought my dogs would never be able to go out together or walk past other dogs."
• "My dog bobby was a total basket case and terrified of everything and everyone to the point of being aggressive and not allowed off the lead."
• "We think she came from travellers, as she had no training whatsoever, and could sniff a bunny out from miles away!"
• "Previously to Lee's day care, we had an awful experience with a different day care."

Support and Aftercare

Pros:

• "Lee leaves the door open for clients to contact him with any problems and after graduating the course we feel we can contact school of dogs for any further advice or issues which gives us real peace of mind."
• "The advice and training techniques are second to none."
• "Lee is a very patient and knowledgeable trainer who will help you however he can to get the best partnership between you and your dog."
• "If for any reason I can't keep it up I will definitely ring Lee again."
• "Lee has really helped me find out what motivates my puppy - and me - to make training an enjoyable, stress-free, fun time together."
• "We had in the past been to other trainers and delta didn't have a connection with them."
• "I have recommended him to anyone who’s asked me about dog training."
• "I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Cons:

• "Finding School of Dogs has really been a game changer in helping me socialise my boy and help him to learn to calm and focus."
• "I honestly don’t know what I would of done without school of dogs."
