Dog Training Services

Training with Roy at Learn Doglish has multiple benefits for you and your dog. Firstly, Roy is an accredited, certified dog trainer with the Guild of dog trainers. He has also completed dog training instructor courses with the national dog training academy, which equip him well to train group classes. Classes are always small and manageable, allowing Roy to take time in class to assist those dogs and handlers that may need additional assistance with their exercises.

All our training exercises are based on science led, reward based, reinforcing techniques. This is especially good for puppies. It allows them to learn in a happy relaxed environment. This helps to build your dog’s confidence and creates a more receptive learning environment. Our classes will help you build a strong bond with your dog and teach them to choose you first.

At the end of each class, you will leave, more knowledgeable than when you started. Throughout your classes you will receive continued support with training materials and videos, along with homework to prepare you for your next lesson. You will enjoy fun games and exercises to grow your dog’s confidence when out in public, you will begin to look forward to manoeuvring through your new daily scenarios with your dog.

Testimonials

Jennifer and Tipsie

Tipsie and I have thoroughly enjoyed the group sessions.

It’s definitely taught Tipsie how to interact with other dogs nicely.

Please sign us up for the Junior class starting soon.

Hannah and Chewie

Roy has been a great communicator from the start and taken time to understand what’s best for our dog.

We’ve had 1 lesson so far and already the results are impressive and we are communicating much better with our adolescent!

Would highly recommend.

Michelle

Learn Doglish is Excellent, Roy is the perfect trainer!

Definitely worth the money, going to book more lessons. We have booked a group lesson in bulk and on our first lesson we learnt loads and we are doing further training at home. You can call or text or email Roy at any time for advice it’s a first class service and I’m looking forward to learning more.

Any dog issues Learn Doglish is the place to go.

Lena

We’ve had our first 2 sessions with Roy and can see results with our timid rescue dog Millie.

The main thing I like is that Roy explains dog’s way of thinking so well and uses understandable example from our daily life. He is good with Millie and she, being so timid, connected with Roy on the first day. Roy is patient, honest, with good teaching skills and supplies well prepared training materials in his follow up emails. He replies promptly, is as detailed as possible and is serious about his work. I had bad experience in the past so the communication part and support via email or sms is also very important to me.

I’d definitely recommend Roy.

Thea Gioe

Roy isn’t just great at working with dogs, he’s great at instructing their humans.

We were incredibly impressed with his re-starter class, which was perfect to help us figure out where our new rescue dog had skills and could use some polishing. Our pup has gone from towing us in his wake on every walk to walking like a gentleman at our sides, and his recall is miles better too.

We’d like to give Roy a particular call out for making our 9-year-old son feel a welcome part of the lessons, empowering him to learn how to speak doglish and building a strong bond between boy and dogs.

Sarah and Chip

Roy was absolutely amazing with us and our 5 month old puppy.

The progress we have seen and support we have got has been second to none and we couldn’t be any more grateful for what we have achieved in such a short space of time with the support we have had.

Pauline Jones

Roy came for a home visit to help us with training our Whippet puppy Rosie.

We are new puppy parents and Roy very generously gave us lots of time, talking about all aspects of training and by working with Rosie to demonstrate situations of rewarding positive behaviour.

We were really pleased to have the benefit of Roy’s expertise and intend to continue by attending his next Puppy Class.

Glen and Moxy

Roy at Learn Doglish has been a massive help!

Great service, fair price and we’ll continue to use the services.

Max

Thanks for the pdfs and thank you so much for all your guidance yesterday. I started implementing all those things from the minute you left and Ham has already started jumping up on the sofa less frequently. I also had a much easier morning by following your instructions with the crate. He whined a bit but only after a while and I made sure I walked in and out every so often without making eye contact and throwing the occasional treat in.

I’ll try some of the other exercises this afternoon but it’s already been a lifesaver! I’ll send you the payment for the puppy class at some point today.
Really looking forward to it as well. Can’t wait to see this pup learn all these cool new things.

Thank you!!
Gill and Milo

Jason and Rey

Thanks Roy, looking forward to our next training soon.

Julie & Hazel

Roy is an extremely knowledgeable and patient trainer, with a great sense of humour which keeps the classes moving along. He is always willing to advise on individual behaviours and becoming a member gives you access to loads of PDF training tips and exercises.

My energetic GSP loves going to the classes and sleeps for 2 hours afterwards.
