“ Thank you so much for your help recently. Not only did my first pup home session go well with your help but you also gave me the confidence to do it. My group pup session starts on the 02 May and I promise to load a photo or two. ” - Debbie
“ I have just finished the train the trainer course and I can honestly say it was the best . I have never been so scared about anything but it was brilliant!!! Anyone wanting to get in to training this is a must!!! Thank you Sandra and the team !! ” - Mandy
“ Can I say I found the course excellent, providing both theory and practical in equal measures which allowed us to practice what we had learned. This cemented the information whist giving confidence. You, your staff and your customers were great, allowing us to be part of your world throughout the course. ” - Paul McCarthy

The training is fantastic. You are usually in groups of about 6 other dogs. The trainer's make time for one 2 one conversations and and advice. Family's also attended the course, which is great for socialising. The location is on a farm, which is a bit of a tip. You'll need Welly boots as it can get muddy, and old trousers as the dogs my jump up on you.

I travelled from Northern Ireland to complete "Train the Trainer Course" I cant recommend the Academy high enough. I am now running very successful Dog/Puppy classes. Sandra and her staff are brilliant. their knowledge and know how is second to none. They are very professional and passionate about the work they do which comes across in their training. If you want your dog 🐶 trained or you want to become a trainer The National Dog Training Academy Southampton is the place to go. Not only do I have a successful business, I have an extremely well trained dog "My Lacey" myself, who get compliments every time we are out.

Having been a customer of the academy for almost 8 years now I can honestly say that the dog training is excellent and you will not find better anywhere else. I have taken all three of my dogs to Sandra to various training from 1:1, obedience to agility and gun dog classes and all the classes and the trainers are excellent. Well run classes, knowledgeable, friendly and approachable trainers. Sandra is the best trainer I have been to (I have tried a few!) and trust her and her positive training approaches 100%. I would (and do) recommend to every dog owner I meet as it has improved my dogs lives no end.

Having taken my puppy to Sandra and the team for training I realised that this is what I wanted to do. The team make training fun and it works. When I heard that Sandra ran a 'train the trainer' course I knew I had to do it. It was really good - very thorough and Sandra and the team are extremely knowledgeable. After completing the course i felt confident enough to run my own classes. Sandra is always there to support me and help with anything I need further advice on. I know she has lots of happy clients who continue to take their dogs to her for training and fun.

We originally signed up for 8 weeks of puppy training which proved to be instrumental in obtaining a firm foundation for good control and obedience, and also a stronger bond with our puppies. We immediately signed up for a further year of classes to progress our doggies through their Bronze and Silver awards onto their Gold, whilst learning it's as much about the handler as it is the dog. We have been impressed with the standard of knowledge and advice on hand and have thoroughly enjoyed the behaviour classes and especially the agility. We have recommended the The National Dog training Academy to friends and family and will continue to do so. When circumstances allow we will return to continue training.
