DO YOU DREAM OF:

  • A puppy who controls those shark teeth

  • A dog that comes to your call

  • Stress free walks

  • A puppy who doesn't jump at every visitor

  • A dog who will settle at the pub

  • No more accidents in the house

Dream of your puppy actually listening? Your class solution

I only take on maximum three puppies to keep classes small so you and your puppy can get the attention they deserve and in a home-based learning environment for real life results

Puppy Training for the Real World

Why training in my outside training room, covered patio, garden and in the house works:-

Real-World Results, Not Just "Hall Behavior": Training around doorbells/household/garden noises, your puppy learns how to behave in your home

Master the "Cafe-Style" Settle: . Essential life skill of relaxing calmly by your side, making your future outings stress-free.

Low-Stress, High-Focus Learning: Large classes can be sensory overload.. Small classes provides a calm, low-distraction sanctuary for focus & fast learning.

Outdoor Skills in a Natural Setting: Transition your training to our private garden among natural scents—the perfect "halfway house" between the classroom and your daily walks.

Here what recent puppy owners have said

“Amazing dog trainer. I can't recommend her enough. She is incredibly knowlegable, patient, and she really takes the time to understand both the dog and the owner.

The improvement in my dog's recall has been fantastic. What used to be stressful walks are now enjoyable. The training methods are clear, positive and really work. Thank you for making such a difference for us"

— Elisha and Narla (labrador)

“Jemma is really supportive, positive and easy to follow and I have learned so much about how to communicate with my cocker spaneil puppy.

The recall training in particualr has been incredibly helpful. I have already seen a big improvement in my puppy coming back when called, which has made such a difference to our walks and confidence"

— Emma & Ralph (Cocker Spaniel)

“Jemma has given us the calm confidence that we need for raising our puppy Dilly. From methods to settle in cafes to excellent tips for recall, all our questions were listened to so well and great advice given. Dilly is my first dog and Jemma has built my confidence to be patient, positive and consistent with my approach to training"

— Caroline & Dilly (Spaniel)

She took such thoughtful care of my dog, treating him with patience, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm. Not only did she help him become more confident and better behaved, but she also helped me understand how to support his progress at home. Every session felt tailored, positive, and professional, and I always felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. What stands out most is how much Jemma loves what she does. She celebrates every little win, communicates clearly, and always puts the dog’s well-being first. My pup absolutely adores her — his tail practically falls off from wagging when he sees her! If you’re looking for a trainer who is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated, I couldn’t recommend Jemma more. She’s exceptional at what she does, and your dog will be in the best possible care.

I had such a lovely experience with Jemma. She was so kind and patient with Chunk and he warmed to her straight away. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing and actually keeps up with science-based training rather than the old punishment stuff. I was really impressed with how well she understood him. I’d honestly recommend her to anyone who needs a brilliant trainer for their dog or puppy.

Jemma worked a miracle with Bruce - a rescue dog with mouthing, lead walking and coming back to us when off lead. He came with awful mouthing which caused us great worry. She didn't just work on quick fixes, she put management in place so that my grandchildren were safe at all times. She focused on building up Bruce's confidence and teaching him to be less impulsive through treats and play. She advised a change of diet as she was concerned that diet could be contributing either to his arousal levels or could be causing tummy discomfort. The combination was magic. Even now if Bruce has a chew that doesnt suit him - he can start to mouth but it is now very gentle mouthing and if we ask him to "leave it" he does. He is nothing like the dog who would jump at you head height and cause bruises up your arm. He is a wonderful gentle soul and some family initially suggested he should go back to the rescue - we are all so glad Bruce didn't go back and Jemma helped all the family to understand him and that it was nothing to do with him being aggressive and that he was over aroused, needed to learn to control his impulses and also needed a change of diet and to be careful with an extra treats.
