TESTIMONIALS
We strive on being a service you can trust, see below some recent testimonials from our lovely clients.
''I went to Yasmin with my 6 year old reactive terrier, I didn’t have high hopes that he would improve being a little bit older. But she definitely proved me wrong, Walter has improved so much in just a few months! It’s abled us to be so much more confident, go and do all sorts of new things that I never imagined we would. I’m so excited to see what he’s going to be like in the months to come! Would definitely recommend Yasmin, she is fab!''

''I can’t recommend Yasmin enough. We worked through her course for 6 month plus dogs and saw real development with Peanut. The classes are really encouraging and the worksheets after keep you on track with the training.
We’ve continued our training on a one to one basis and found I’ve finally have a trainer that fits with us and gets what we need. Peanut has really come on and we are overcoming our challenges with the support Yasmin has given us. Wouldn’t use anyone else now.''

''Massive thank you to Yasmin at Doopie Dog for helping us with our two boys. Our youngest needed help building his confidence on walks and after doing several 1:1 sessions, he has come on leaps and bounds and is now more confident on walks. He has come and long way in such a short space of time. Your advice has been invaluable and walks are now more comfortable for us and our boys. We couldn’t have done it without you - thank you!''
- Chris
''Thank you for your help and advice with our little troublesome teenager Peanut. Yasmin has been invaluable helping our family settle our little lad when out and about sociably. Her detailed reports after each session show how dedicated and passionate she is about her job and the wellbeing of dogs.
I would highly recommend Doopie Dog''

''We've had 6 sessions with Yasmin, working on our dog's reactivity and she has been absolutely brilliant.
I found the reports following each session and the support in between sessions so valuable and can't recommend Doopie Dog enough.
Our dog has made fantastic progress with Yasmin's help and we now have the tools we need to continue working on his reactivity.''

''I contacted Yasmin for help with my pup. I was made aware of the various packages on offer so we could work out what was best for us . I particularly needed help with loose lead walking , recall and neutrality whilst out walking .
I could not be happier with the service we received. Sessions were focused and always had a positive approach with clear instruction and guidance . I received detailed session reports , which enabled us to practice in between appointments . Importantly , my pup loved the sessions and has absolutely thrived . We now have a much stronger bond . I am so thankful another dog owner recommended Yasmin. I would not hesitate to recommend Yasmin to anyone needing help with training ''

''Yasmin is a true professional, her genuine love of dogs is obvious, she makes the classes fun for puppies & their people. Classes are small enabling Yasmin to give everyone individual attention and advice when needed. I would recommend Doopie dog training & care puppy classes to anyone who wants their bundle of fun to understand basic commands and stay safe whilst out and about. With a bit of practice at home in between classes it’s surprising how quickly they learn''

''Yasmin has been integral to not only improving our puppy’s life, but ours. She has helped us with recall, reactivity and loose lead walking to the extent that I no longer get nervous whatsoever going out for walks. Her approach is thought out, helpful, and supportive, and she clearly has an immense passion for what she does. I was a little apprehensive as we have had a dog trainer in the past who had been rather condescending, but there is none of that with Yasmin. Absolute 10 out of 10.''

''Couldn't recommend Yasmin at Doopie enough. We first reached out in January for help with Ralph and his reactivity whilst out walking, as a giant breed weighing 60+kg it was becoming a task me and my partner would dread and we thought we would never be able to enjoy family days out together with him. After 5 months I can say this training has been the best thing we have done for Ralph, he has come along so much on his walks and is even noticeably calmer in the house when we have people come and visit. The training sessions where great and the reports sent after each session really helped make sure we put in the time and knew what we had to work on before the next session. In the last 4 weeks we have taken Ralph to the beach, Temple Newsam and round St Aidans RSPB something we never thought would be able to do. This wouldn't be possible without the help of Yasmin, we only wish we had found her when we rescued Ralph as a puppy''

''Yasmin is incredibly knowledgeable and knows a great deal about specific breed traits, she’s given lots of fantastic advice which in a short time I have already noticed a difference in my Collie!
We are enjoying our puppy classes and look forward to more!''
- Kerrie
''We used Doopie Dog for help with our border collie Bruno, in usual border collie style he was a car chaser and his recall wasn’t the best! Yasmin spent three session with us working on these issues and how to manage them. Literally he is a different dog, we can walk nicely past cars and his recall is amazing. We were so impressed with the work that Yasmin put in not only in the sessions but the follow ups with her session reports and feedback and the check ins in between sessions. Would absolutely recommend Doopie dog to anyone needing a little bit of help and wouldn’t hesitate to go back again if needed!''
- Nova
''Yasmin has taken on the task of training our Labrador puppy. First Biscuit was sceptical of someone new but come the end of the first session he had gained confidence and a new friend.
Yasmin knowledge is exceptional as well as professionalism. Within one session we have already mastered some tricks and commands which were not possible before. Highly recommend and the prices are extremely reasonable for 1:1 sessions.
Needless to say this is long-term training plan and can't wait to see the changes in him as well as my own bond with him.''
- Adam
''We have just finished the 6month plus training program at Springfield with our 9month old collie pup Poppy. Throughout Yasmin has made the sessions easy for us to get to grips with, fun and so supportive. Poppy has so enjoyed every session and we’ve all learned so much and have built a stronger bond with lots of new skills. The sessions are nice small groups with plenty of distance which is ideal as they prepare you for real world distractions. Yasmin also supported us with advice around feeding our pup and older dog to avoid any food aggression/nervousness which I’m pleased to say is working perfectly. Poppy is going to miss her Saturday morning sessions with Yasmin!''

''we are currently on our last few weeks of Puppy Class with Doopie Dog and we can't recommend enough! We have a typical Jack Russell pup and he has thrived since starting the puppy classes. They are engaging for the pups and very informative for us as pup parents.. you also realise you are not going through the ups and downs of puppyhood alone. If you have a pup and are thinking about puppy classes honestly give Doopie Dog a message. We have already signed our pup up for the next set of classes''
- Seffron
''We reached out to Doopie Dog when our 7 month old French Bulldog Reggie, was showing signs of aggressive behaviour when meeting new people. We knew it was something that had to be done before there were any serious consequences. After having one conversation with Yasmin she immediately reassured us we were doing the right thing. For us, it was the best decision we could have made. After one session Reggie has made so many improvements. We were introduced to many activities and routines which have become part of his day to day life. Many people have commented on his calmed behaviour and can’t believe he is the same dog!! We would highly recommend this service. If this is the difference after just one meeting we can’t wait to see how our little Reggie does further on the down line:)''
- Abigail
''We loved the gentle way that Yasmine trained our energetic cockapoo Kevin (and us) to be more relaxed and less stressed. The advice and the practical demonstration s she gave us helped us in his daily management! We received excellent reports after each session which were extremely helpful. We would highly recommend Yasmine as a trainer, she had a wonderful way with Kevin.''
- Moira
''Just finished a 6 week puppy course with Yasmin. Very good!!! Our puppy Cooper loved it. Great interaction with a great group.
We learned the basics on all the essentials and she was always ready to chat if needed about any issues. Even said to call or message her when not at the class.
If you’re thinking about it. Don’t think. Sign your puppy up''
- David
''My puppy and I are recent graduates of the puppy class and the 6 month plus class. These classes hsve been excellent in teaching us vital skills and some fun tricks too. Highly recommended the classes and Yasmin has a wealth of knowledge to help with any puppy problem.''
- Caroline
''Yasmin is excellent, very knowledgeable on all aspects of dog training. Betty my pup labradoodle and myself have learned so much in the 6 week puppy class which we couldn’t have done on our own. Would definitely recommend her for all your dogs needs''
- Mandy
''We took our puppy to training school with Yasmin, we could not recommend her more! She was fantastic, patient and at the end of the phone at all times. Daisy has picked up puppy training like a dream because of Yasmin's hard work. Thank you again Yasmin you super star!''
