Find a Dog Trainer in West Bridgford

Best dog trainer that I have ever met. Her methods of dog training are extremely effective and gentle, also useful. As a member of the Junior and puppy classes she makes it easy to train my puppy which is really hard as she is food obsessed! The classes have a really good environment and fun with all the activities like distraction ally and obstacle course. I highly recommend the classes as they are great quality at a great price.

I highly recommend PTT to anyone wanting to reduce the stress of walking a reactive dog. My Jack Russell, Wally, is 7 years old and walking him is a bit of a nightmare - Natalie at PTT is really helping us work together and Wally is so much more relaxed when on a walk, after only 3 sessions. After the first one I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with information, but Natalie sent me some notes on what we had covered, and then at the next session we improved the techniques. It is a completely positive experience, and Wally really enjoys it too. We still have a way to go, but it give me hope that he will soon have learnt how to be out and about, and a normal dog enjoying his walks, rather than always looking for the next dog to get worked up about. I think the service and knowledge is very good value for money, the sessions are tailored to your needs, and it's also great to see that Natalie genuinely loves dogs. She is super friendly and I don't feel silly if I make mistakes!

So we moved to Melbourne, Australia almost 4 months ago however our Staffie cross collie dog (Zebadee) was not allowed to fly for another 3 months after us. This left us in a difficult position as nobody in the family could have him and kennels are not suitable for longterm boarding. Zebadee wasn't the most well behaved dog in the world. More like a spoilt child with a few behavioural issues with smaller submissive dogs. He sat on sofas (and destroyed one in the past) chews kiddie toys. That sort of thing! A friend who had a rescue (also with a few behavioural issues) recommended Laura and Ben and from the moment myself and Zebadee visited them, we knew it would be the right place. Laura regularly sent updates of how Zebadee was doing. She create trained him so a) the journey would be easier for him and b) we could give him a secure start in a new home with new boundaries. She took him to the vets and helped manage the process of ensuring he had all the right jabs as needed to fly here taking a lot of stress and worry away. It was clear to see from the updates that zeb was happy, safe and cared for. He really enjoyed his stay with Laura and Ben. So much so we were worried he wouldn't be happy to see us. Today we collected Zebadee!!! Once we got zeb home he ran around like a crazy dog and much to our relief, he was really happy to see us. But once the euphoria of seeing me, Tess and our 2 year old daughter Jaime wore off. He went to his new create and had some quiet time. He hasnt jumped on any sofas and after a trip to the park today, he has socialised with tonnes of dogs and I must say is a different dog (in all the good ways) to the one we left in the UK. From myself, Tess, Jaime and most of all Zebadee... Thank You so much for the training, care and importantly the love you have shown Zeb. Its been so reassuring knowing hes been looked after and we would recommend anyone for training and boarding. Good luck with the baby and wedding!!! We send our love and wishes all the way from Melbourne. We cannot thank you enough!

Amazing assistance dog and his extremely good trainer. Love these two. I wish I had been a tenth as good at training my dog when I had her. Watching the videos here gives me loads of tips for when I get my next dog.

We love Ruffles!! Our boy Buddy only goes 1 day a week, mainly just for the social aspect as he was a lockdown pup. He has come on amazingly in such a short time, he now loves other dogs and is friendly towards other people. He is so excited to go and comes home ready for a long nap (peace and quiet for us 😂). The girls at ruffles are fab, sending updates throughout the day and always giving us a debrief on his time there. We also love how easy it is, from booking him in, dropping him off and payment - it just works. Ruffles have got it spot on and I couldn’t recommend it more!!

A really wonderful group of extremely committed Vets and Nurses, I have been lucky enough to spend time on placement here and have seen how brilliant the team are and how respectful and gentle they are with the animals behind closed doors too. Bill has been our vet for years and he or a member of his team has always been really quick to see us whenever we needed an appointment. The facilities at the practice are great including being able to do laparoscopic spays. The whole team are lovely and great at explaining things so you always feel like you understand exactly what is happening unlike some vets that try and blind you with science and throw a bill at you. We have received top class service from Bill and his team over the years, my family and all our animals are very grateful :)

You would find it difficult to find a more OTT boxer puppy than ours, we had previously attended another dog training class prior to Laws for Paws that had little beneficial effect on her behaviour. Michelle's training, advice and encouragement is now really starting to pay dividends. Our boxer really enjoys the training sessions and will be taking the bronze award in the next few weeks. If your dog needs training we recommend Laws for Paws.
