“After attending and loving a GRC competition trial run by Linnea, I signed up for Walk and Train’s shadow programme — and I’m so glad I did! Between both Linnea and Gregor, they were full of knowledge and genuine love for the work they do. Throughout the programme, I got to discuss my future and how to get into the dog training world as well as observe a wide range of training sessions, from puppy development and obedience work to behaviour modification and GRC training. Each session offered something new to learn, and both Linnea and Gregor took the time to explain methods, reasoning, and the “why” behind every technique! What I loved was how calm, patient, consistent and fun they were with every dog and client. The ability to tailor their approach to each individual dog was brilliant and made me reflect on how I can apply the same adaptability in my own work. The experience was educational, motivating and so much fun — I came away with a deeper understanding of canine behaviour, training structure and the importance of clear communication between handler and their dog. I’d highly recommend this shadow programme to anyone looking to grow their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, or simply spend time learning from passionate, and skilled trainers! I can’t wait to continue developing my training journey with everything I took away from this experience ❤️”

“Jess and Aimee were absolutely fantastic with our little chaotic border collie during the puppy classes. We would recommend these classes to anyone.

Sorry in advance for the barking!”

“I have shot many weddings here and its by far one of my favourite venues! The staff are wonderful, insightful and helpful in both the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. So many fantastic spaces inside and out for different parts of the day from Queens Street Gardens for photos, confetti on the steps outside, Cullen Suite for fizz and canapes and the New Library for the ceremony and wedding breakfast, the venue is simply stunning and I highly recommend it to any couple looking for either a small, romantic and intimate wedding all the way to a full day celebration and I can't wait to return!”

“An amazing service. I was very nervous leaving my cat while I went away but after I met Angela in the pre house visit I was put at ease. It is clear how much she loves animals and my usually timid cat went to her straight away...even climbed on her back. My cat was taking medication which was no problem for Angela and they sent me daily updates including pictures. I would not trust any other company to look after my girl! A***”

The place is clean, fresh, and really well set up, with fantastic play facilities that kept the kids happy and busy. It wasn’t too noisy or overwhelming, which made it a pleasant experience for parents too. The price was reasonable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the other families there were lovely. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be back!”

“Thank you so much to Nyssa and all the staff at ESFW. You helped us to have such a magical and happy wedding in August at Kirknewton Stables. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and served. There was almost zero waste as everyone loved it! Lots of guests commented on the staff being so helpful and friendly and generally facilitating the whole day going so well. We thoroughly recommend ESFW.”

“Everything went very smoothly, from the security staff to the customer service team. We were applying for a France visa and paid extra for the 7:30 AM appointment, which was well worth it. Big thanks to Gwen, who assisted us so kindly and patiently, especially when helping us sort out the correct share code for our application (we accidentally used the employer one). Overall, the process was efficient and well-organized. My only small worry is that I only attached my employment contract along with my three most recent payslips — I hope that will be fine! But the staff made the whole experience easy and reassuring.”
