Tracy is fantastic. We’ve benefited from both her group classes and a 1-2-1 which has completely transformed our relationship with our puppy for the better and our dog seems so much happier and contented too!

A lot of people have told us that Beagles are untrainable but when we told Tracy about Lottie and talked through the training options she just took it all in her stride and worked with us. Lottie absolutely loves sessions with Tracy and having now completed the beginners course we’re all looking forward to building on the skills that we’ve learned ready for intermediate. More...

Tracey was lovely and worked so well with Rex. She is super knowledgeable and does everything so positively. 3 days after doing what Tracey recommended and Rex is choosing to go in his crate for snoozes now and I can leave the room without him following me!

Just completed the 6 session begginers class, I can not recommend lupo academy enough, full of knowledge and tools for friendly ways to help train my pup, tools that I will continue to use at home. The confidence and bonding experience has been amazing for Bailey and myself, and even though he's entering the teenage years (which is a struggle) being able to have the tools to know he can now he can concentrate on me even that tiniest bit has shown me that it really works and he can do it (despite his nature to get distracted ) I look forward to hopefully going on to the next course More...

Great teaching for both dog and owners, feeling great after our session today. Solar improved amazingly after each run. Also loved setting trails for Rio and watching Redford.

Had a great afternoon on the mantrailing introductory course. Tracey is a very professional teacher and encourages both dogs and humans. Her instructions were clear and precise and it wasn’t long before dogs and handlers knew what they were doing. It was really satisfying to see the dogs successfully completing their trails and to see them so pleased with themselves when they found the hidden human. Would definitely recommend Lupo Academy.

Dog Training
Absolutely fantastic 1 on 1 training I cannot recommend her enough!
Harriet Jeckells
Just completed a 6-week beginners dog training class with Tracey and can't praise her highly enough. She makes dogs and owners instantly feel at ease with her flexible kind approach but also gives practical guidance that you can apply when you're at home. Better than the other experiences of dog training I've had as she helps tailor learning to your own dogs needs rather than having a long list of unachievable rules. I would recommend Tracey to anyone wanting a little help in getting the most out their relationship with their dog. Looking forward to signing up for our next class! More...

A home visit - all my questions were answered, friendly and helpful advice, and a dream visit all round!
I received advice for my yappy pups and how to train them to walk better on a leash, better greeting with people, and obedience training.
All in the space of an hour and a half!
Would recommend, absolutely amazing help and instant results!

Had a 1-1 session with Tracey this evening. She identified his impulse instinct was quite strong and had lots of suggestions on how to alter his behaviour with positive training. It was a great session and my woofie, Bryn responded really quickly, she gave me an extra insight on dogs and how they think and act, it was really helpful. Thank you Tracey! More...

I started training 4 weeks ago, and have loved every minute of it. My dogs (2 Dobermanns) learnt so much today that using their brains wore them out better than any walk has done. Tracey the instructor, is so enthusiastic about dogs and their learning with positive reinforcement, that it rubs off on me and gives me the confidence to try new things. She is very patient, the classes are very personal and she makes sure we get the individual attention that would be impossible to have in a larger class. My dogs have enjoyed training, as it is such fun , they get to use their brains, & because copious treats come their way. I have been given multiple ways in which to encourage the behaviour that I want, & to lose the unwanted behaviour, which work well in real life situations away from class. It's like having a tool chest full of tools that have a myriad of uses. Tracey also made sure that anything I was having trouble with at home (ie; getting through doors in an orderly fashion instead of a" free for all"), she addressed , therefore making lessons very relevant. I would happily recommend lupo academy to anyone who wants their dog to start listening to them, it developes an even tighter bond with your dog, and i love the way that since starting training my two look up at me for instruction, their attention is more focused. Thank you Tracey, I will miss training when it is over. More...

I would highly recommend Tracy and Lupo Academy for puppy classes. I was a bit apprehensive beforehand as I wasn't sure how much we'd learn and wasn't sure if I could justify the cost, however I'm so pleased I signed Frank up. He loved every minute and learnt loads!! I also learnt a huge amount and have some great tools to work on with Frank. Thanks so much Tracy and I hope to see you again for more training x More...

Eddie loved the puppy classes lupo academy provided and had a few one to ones with Tracey. Amazing interaction and goes at the pups own pace.
Love seeing the pictures of how they are doing in class too. Booked in to start beginners ��
Update:
Eddie has now completed all lupo academcy training courses puppy, beginners and intermediates and he has come so far and learned so much. Proved challenging little monkey at times but does know his stuff really. Recommend to anyone would us having trouble with their dog.
Even those big characters bigger than themselves!

Lupo has been a great help to me assessing a couple of dogs I had on foster. I have decided to adopt one of them. A deaf Staffie who is an absolute joy to have around. Lupo will be helping me with sign language and training advice. Highly recommend to anyone looking to train or seeking advice about their dog. More...

Lots of people told us that Beagles would be hard work ... and they are... but with the amazing training we have had from Tracey he is off the lead and recalling every time (touch wood) and more! We have had 121, and puppy classes and we have just booked on for beginners class! Bowie loves his training time with Tracey. More...

Lupo Academy has done an amazing job with my anxious and scared dog. These past 2 weeks we've seen a massive change in her game playing, learning abilities and walking abilities.
Thank you Tracey for all your help. Sookie will need a little longer to get used to the Hoover though. She still barks like crazy at it and hates it lol.
Thank you xx.

121 with Galahad... we have lots to learn but Galahad wanted to do anything Tracy asked and was rewarded for getting it right ,there was lots of jumping and drool, Tracy had Galahads usual dribble baths and him being his usual hooligan self, but he soon got the gist of what was wanted from him and I now know what I need to do to get what I want from my lovable oaf .
. so lots of practice to look forward to. It was great to learn for myself and Galahad ..
Thank you !!!!

Group classes
I hold group classes in Basingstoke on Tuesdays and Sundays. Tuesday puppy class for pups under 20 weeks of age starts at 7pm with beginners starting at 8pm.
On Sundays, puppy class starts at 5.45pm and beginners at 6.30pm. courses run for 6 weeks. My facebook page shows lots of photos and videos of the exciting, fun games we play to teach obedience as dogs learn much faster when they are having fun.
