The 30 Best Dog training classes in Manchester

“The best person to leave your dog with! I can’t say enough good things about Debby and how great she has been at looking after my puppy George. He adores her and loves going to doggy day care with her. I know when I drop him off I don’t have to worry and can set off for work rest assured George is going to have an amazing day and be well looked after. After lockdown I was called back into work with short notice and I tried leaving George on his own for a few days for short periods and when seeing how distressed he was I searched for a doggy day care online. After seeing Debby’s reviews I sent an online enquiry and she called me within a few minutes, offered me to pop over there and then to see her house and meet her and now George goes to her five days a week and I wouldn’t want him anywhere else. She has a great set-up in her home and garden where everything is secure and I feel like it’s another home for George where he is shown love and affections as well as being able to socialise with other dogs. He gets lots of exercise, playtime and food and I get to pick him up at the end of each day super happy and pretty tired which is perfect for me after a long day in work. Debby is always accommodating and I know she will always make decisions based on what is best for all the dogs to make sure they are happy and safe. I know there are larger set ups for doggy day-care but what I love about Debby’s house is it’s George’s second home and he will only ever be around other dogs that have been vetted by Debby to ensure they can play safely. Debby sends regular updates throughout the day of George having lots of fun and he is so desperate to get to hers in the morning he barely eats breakfast! I really couldn’t recommend a better person to look after your dog! Thank you Debby!”

“Fergus has been attending DogsZone for the last few months & I can honestly say the staff are so friendly & helpful & seem to really enjoy the company of the dogs. Fergus has some health issues with his stomach & staff sometimes feed him for me & this often isn’t easy as he’ll lose his appetite but they always persevere. I receive videos & photos all day of Fergus & the other dogs playing indoors & outdoors which is very reassuring. I highly recommend DogsZone!”

“The Dog Walkers are just amazing. Darren & Viv are just so lovely and clearly have a great affinity with the dogs - our lab just adores going for his dog walks! They are always providing photos and updates, which is really fun and also reassuring to see our dog happily socialising. I honestly could not recommend them highly enough!”

“1st session: Glyn from Cheshire Dog Services Ltd is amazing. Took us ages to pick our jaw up from the floor. We've got an 8 month old GSD who pulls on walks, doesn't listen to my wife at all, jumps up all the time in the house and on walks. In one session Glyn had him listening to his every word, waiting 15 minutes next to a pile of treats without eating them. He showed us how to get Samson to sit, lie down, wait at the door and how to get Samson to heel on his walks. He gave us clear commands to give Samson in various situations. It was amazing,. The next day I took Samson out for his walk, did what Glyn had told us and he walked to heel, wasn't as distracted by people and other dogs. A week on he's brilliant on walks. We both enjoy them a lot more, he heels, leaves other distractions behind him, no longer jumps at, or on people on his walks, and he doesn't try to pull your arm off when other dogs are around [to play with them] . He's a different dog, all thanks to Glyn. I cannot recommend Glyn and Cheshire Dog Services enough for what they have done for us and Samson. We're continuing to see Glyn to embed what we've learned so far and to enrich ours and Samson's future.”

“Amazing groomer, lovely friendly salon and always does an amazing job of my little toy poodle . Rachel is amazing. I love all the little extra touches she does you can tell she really loves dogs and has a passion for her job. I always feel comfortable to leave my little baby in her safe care would 100% recommend.”

“Very relaxing atmosphere from the moment I walked in and didn't feel any sense of hard selling as with some others. Very reasonably priced for some of the works of art that I saw go past me in that place. I went in to get pets nails clipped and waited there. The service was fast and efficient and the dog groomer was very friendly and easy to chat with which was a bonus. Groomer seemed both knowledgeable in the care of animals conditions which might require more delicate handling, as with mine--clearly very experienced. The shop comprises of a dog grooming salon, offering wash and dry, cutting deshedding and nail clipping from recollection. The other side has a good range on offer, from bedding and toys to food stuffs. Thank you once again!”

“First time at Signature dog grooming. As new dog owners they explained everything that we asked and wanted to know, which was amazing. Our Bella came out looking a million dollars. We can't speak highly enough of this professional team and we won't be going anywhere else.”

“This is an amazing doggy daycare :) My dog Willow used to be nervous going in, but now she cannot wait to get in, and is barking her head off to tell her mates she's arrived. She is a very fit dog, but Happy Dogs always tires her out. Paul and Adam are very friendly, and the reception always looks great. I really don't know what we would do without them, it's a great place.”

“We come up from the south for a few days, we took our cocker spaniel puppy Lola who was 6 months old at the time. She’s never been in a day care before and the way she came out was unbelievable she didn’t wanna go home she loved it so much there! We saw photos on Facebook on how the day was going and she looked like she was having such an amazing time. When we took her back for the 2nd day she couldn’t be more excited to go! She rushed through the gate and didn’t look back! I highly Recommend dogs and divas when we come back to Manchester she will definitely be coming back it’s such a shame you’re not in the south! Thank you so much.”

“Ben is absolutely amazing. We contacted him to do house visits with our 1.8 month old dog and our puppy as we were at work. Ben came every single day and spent a good while with our dogs, he kept us updated consistently and sent us pictures of our doggos. One time our puppy made a mess with the toilet paper and he was kind enough to tidy up. He has walked them and has helped with our older dog who is a bit barky with other dogs. You can tell he loves and understands dogs and it's reciprocal. Our older dog is very nervous around people and he took time to build up her trust. She now loves him and approaches him enthusiastically. Would 100% recommend him. He's extremely professional as he takes care of both yours and your dogs needs and is very flexible.”

“Thank you so much Leah and family for taking such wonderful care of Anastasia, your warmth, kindness and love truly shines. We were staying locally, due to a family bereavement and Leah came to our rescue at very short notice. As a fellow dog walker in the South of England, Leah is such a credit to dog professionals, you're so lucky to have her in Rochdale and beyond. Thank you so much again Leah to you and family for everything. Rich, Ben & Anastasia.”

“Great friendly dog grooming service. Drop the dog off and get a call ten minutes before he's ready to be picked up, gets a bandana to wear home too. The prices in photo below.”

“I have just completed the level 3 dog grooming diploma at The Paw Pad, I have had an amazing 1-1 experience with kind, friendly and experienced tutors. I felt comfortable and confident when handling the dogs in the salon knowing that I had full support by the staff. The owner Al was also able to provide amazing tips and tricks from a business perspective which has set me on the right path to becoming an Independent dog groomer. You are all amazing and thank you for all your help! If you are thinking about completing a dog grooming course, I highly recommend The Paw Pad team.”

“Thank you for looking after my hedgehog Logan! Dorota did a great job and I felt reassured after meeting her, she’s lovely and friendly. She even sent photos of him which put my mind at ease :) Would recommend and will definitely use Dorota’s service again :) thanks again”

“Cannot recommend the Dogs & Divas doggy daycare service and cat sitting service enough! Our dog loves playing at doggy daycare with all the other dogs and the staff are extremely friendly. We have also used the cat sitting service which is more preferable for our cat than a cattery and he got so much love and attention from Dawn and the team on his daily visits.”

“Very informative. If you have a dog who can only eat certain things they are really helpful.”

“Amazing kennels, my two dogs always go in tails wagging and leave happy! I dont worry about them when i'm on holiday. The staff are lovely and are always so accommodating. Would highly recommend!”

“Really great for dogs walks , day care and boarding..the grooming salon is also amazing!! I would easily say the best in the area!!!”

“I cannot recommend Dogz Club enough! We got our little Dachshund just as we entered the first lockdown, so there was inevitable anxiety around a lack of socialising, but DC has ensured our pup is so confident and happy around other dogs. The staff are so attentive and update me with honest feedback whenever I ask for it. The picture/video updates during the day of all the dogs having fun, regular themed parties throughout the year and goody bags are all examples of extra touches which makes this such a great day-care. Thank you to the whole team!xxxx”

“Fantastic place, can't recommend enough, and all the staff are great and very friendly. We have one very happy boy who is sat at our front door every morning waiting to go and worn out when he's back home.”

“We can’t recommend Digs for Dogs highly enough! Our dog absolutely loves going on her “holidays” with them and gets so excited to jump into the van when she’s picked up. While we’re away, she’s completely spoilt and treated like a princess, which gives us total peace of mind knowing she’s being cared for and loved just as if she were their own. We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos—it’s lovely to see her enjoying herself while we’re away. Georgia and Oliver are so professional, kind, and welcoming, and they made the whole process of setting up our dog’s profile really easy. If you’re looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for your dog, we’d highly recommend Digs for Dogs!”

“Marley absolutely loves Precious Paws. They are extremely reliable and caring. My dog absolutely loves the home boarding they provide and no longer goes to kennels when we are away. Best decision I made getting precious Paws to walk marley while im at work. Thank you xxx”

“I have just received the pink waterproof coat for Biscuit our 18 month old West Highland Terrier. She looks absolutely gorgeous in it and it fits perfectly. The coat has leg straps so that it stays secure while she walks. Fantastic quality and I will be using the website again. Many thanks Lesley Cooper”

“Karl and Paula did an amazing job with mine and my Mums dogs , Charlie and Chase. They always come back looking and smelling great. He did my Grandads dog today also and he came back looking better than ever, they must have been amazing with him as he usually barks and doesn't go to people he doesn't know yet Max was really at ease with Karl so thankyou very much.”

“it's great returning from work knowing jack has had a good run out, excellent service really pleased thanks glen”

“Tracy's looked after our cat during two separate holidays now and I can confidentially say she is the perfect sitter! She is super friendly and organised. She popped round before we went away to discuss the cat's food arrangements and other routines before coming back twice a day whilst we were away. On the first occasion, we'd only had our cat a couple of months when we left her with Tracy but we felt totally reassured as she was such a natural with her and kept us up-to-date with messages and photos on WhatsApp. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“We are so happy to have found Dave to walk our dog, he is totally reliable, friendly and professional, and always keeps us in touch with the walks sending photos of Tiggy playing. Dave is very calm with Tiggy, and taught her to socialise with other dogs; and Tiggy is very happy going with him! I totally trust Dave and feel I can relax knowing Tiggy is with the best walker.”

“Michelle was recommended to me by my regular cattery who was fully booked. My puddy tat Charlie warmed to her instantly, She's professional and and punctual, BUT !! most importantly she has a very caring calming nature. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for you're Four legged treasures.”
