   Me and my puppy completed the puppy school course with Steve. The course was very enjoyable, structured lessons delivered in a way that was easy to understand. My pup is also booked in for home boarding for a couple of weeks in August and had her assessment day last week. She had a great time and was exhausted afterwards. Steve and Maria are lovely and it is very clear they have a passion for what they do.

   I highly recommend the services and support offered at Train Me and My Dog. Maria and Steve are always so helpful and have provided us with guidance and information which has been invaluable. Our girl always loves going to day care, she looks forward to her visits and sleepovers and is always very happy and content on return. I never have to worry about her whilst I am away as I know she is in such safe hands. The dogs have so much fun, have variety and stimulus throughout the day and are cared for by an exceptionally experienced team. Maria and Steve really know all of the dogs and understand their characters. An outstanding service.

   We first came across Maria and Steve at Train Me and My Dog when we were looking for Puppy training classes. The beginner classes were really good and we learnt a lot from Steve on how to start to get our new puppy trained and also how we should act around her to get the best from her. At the end of the six classes we felt much more confident with Toffee (our Jackapoo) and we’re so impressed with Steve and Maria’s obvious love of dogs that we have enrolled for more training on the advanced classes with Maria which we have found to be extremely beneficial. Toffee has also boarded with them whilst we went on holiday for two weeks. We were nervous to leave her anywhere as she was still a puppy but we needn’t have worried as Steve and Maria treated her like she was one of their own dogs and we liked the fact that regular pup dates & photos were put on Facebook - Toffee was clearly enjoying herself. Toffee has also been to socialisation classes with big dogs as we wanted her to be confident with all dogs and this proved to be an excellent way of introducing our new puppy to other dogs of all sizes. Toffee now regularly attends doggy day care and is always very keen to go to Steve or Maria for a fuss on arrival - she clearly loves going and we would have no hesitation in recommending any of their services.

   We don’t know what we would do without Maria and Steve, or as our very active springer spaniel Luna ‘Looney Tunes’ knows them as, Aunty Maria and Uncle Steve. We met Maria and Steve at puppy training. We thought it beneficial to start training with Luna as soon as possible. Maria taught us how to train Luna as a puppy but also what was best for her breed, being so active. What we learnt at puppy school, although considered basic commands have been fundamental to us and Luna’s training. Attending puppy school also had the added benefit of Luna being able to socialise with other puppies after class which helped to teach her what was acceptable play. After finishing puppy school, we decided to book Luna into day care. Luna attends day care once a week and absolutely loves it. She gets to play with her friends and spend time with Maria and Steve, people that love her like she was their own. As soon as she comes home, she eats and goes to sleep, very happy. If she misses a week because of holiday, we know it! We also decided Luna would benefit from further advanced training as she loves learning new things and we needed further training on a few things since puppy school, mainly her stays, loose lead walking and gate training. Maria taught us some invaluable tricks that worked for Luna and us. Now we can take Luna for a walk and not the other way round. Luna has also spent a night with her aunt and uncle and she loved that too. Leaving Luna somewhere that is a home from home is such a relief to us. We know when she is with Maria and Steve, she is safe, very well looked after, plays, has cuddles and has other friends there to keep her company. Luna loves cuddles more than treats and knowing that after such a hard day of playing with her friends she gets to snuggle on the sofa between her aunt and uncle with a blanket is what makes Maria and Steve’s doggy services stand out from all the others. We have no hesitation whatsoever dropping Luna off and leaving her with Maria and Steve as we know when we pick her up she will still be one very happy Luna ‘Looney Tunes’.

   We adopted Teddy earlier this year after he had been mistreated in his previous home meaning he has trust and confidence issues that we have been working on. For us, we needed someone who would be able to work with us and Teddy on his basic training while keeping in mind his individual needs and character and thankfully we found Maria. Maria was fantastic from start to finish keeping training informative and most importantly fun for Teddy and us and, with a small group size of only four dogs, we never felt abandoned during sessions. That, along with additional support between training sessions where we could ask any questions we had, however daft they seemed, made such a difference. We still have a lot of work to do, both on ourselves and with Teddy, but this has been a great start of the journey which we will definitely be continuing with Maria in the New Year. We can’t thank Maria enough for all the support so far and definitely recommend her for anyone out there wanting an engaged and fun training programme for them and their dog.

   We were recommended Maria by a friend who was using her services. We initially approached looking for advice on our best approach for our new family member. Maria listened and took time to understand our goals and considered the best options.We enrolled on a puppy training class. The atmosphere was informal but very well coordinated and very successful, we have a puppy that we feel is still very much a puppy but the tools to help her develop as well us develop with her. They also have boarding facilities and day care, both of these we have used and continue to use. The daycare is very good for our pups social skills and we have a family member who is social with other dogs and understands how to interact. Boarding service is very reassuring to use as we know Maria and her Steve treat our little pup with the same love and care as we do. We really cant recommended training me and my dog enough. You and your furry family member will enjoy. Thank you Maria and Steve.
