We had to change days and signed up for a Sunday class with Ruth, I was really nervous about introducing a new trainer to Bear as it usually takes him a while to get used to new people.. Bear loved Ruth from the minute we got there. Ruth has been so gentle and accommodating with Bear, she amended training to suit his needs and he's got so confident within the classes! I'm so pleased with how well Bear is doing and I highly recommend Ruth!

Improver class

Ruths puppy classes have been brilliant! We have gained new skills with our dog Vinny and its been lovely to see his confidence grow each week. She has really helped us with him and we are forward to more classes in the future.

Puppy classes

Cookie has been going to Ruth's scent classes for over six months now and there's no turning back. Each class is different and Ruth goes above and beyond to make it as fun for the both of us as possible (the Easter "egg" hunt class is a favourite). Instructions are very clear and Ruth is always on hand to help if Cookie (or I for that matter) need a little nudge forward. Ruth's enthusiasm and adaptability to get the best from the dogs is infectious. Cookie and I couldn't be happier and we're excited to be working towards the Silver award. Five stars!

UKSD Continuation scent class

I have been attending Ruth's scent classes for five months. I came to her with a very nervous and reactive dog, unsure if I would be able to attend group classes without causing my dog stress. Ruth was amazing, she guided my dog and I through a process that totally engaged us both, grew our confidence and showed us how to relax and have fun around other dogs. Ruth has great imagination and is passionate about training, each week she presents us with new and fresh challenges. She has a keen eye and her lessons are well structured taking into account individual dog abilities. I highly recommend Ruth as a trainer.

UKSD Beginner scent class

Twiglet and I have been attending scent work classes with Ruth for the past 6 months, as a very excitable dog who loves using her nose this is perfect. Ruth makes the classes informative and fun, giving clear instructions and always tayloring her lessons so both the dogs and their owners succeed. Twiglet has achieved her Bronze award and we are now working towards Silver. Twiglet also really loves helping Ruth with some demonstration work! Ruth's passion and enthusiasm is infectious. We always look forward to our classes. In addition Ruth has been really understanding of having a very barky dog in class and has offered some great tips and advice which are really helping. Definitely five stars!

UKSD Scent classes

At first I was worried about taking my springer spaniel Bramble to group scentwork classes as he is very excitable and at times can lack focus. I needn’t have worried. Ruth was very understanding and has helped Bramble concentrate and although he can still be a little over enthusiastic at times he loves scentwork and it is a fun activity for us to enjoy together. If you are a bit apprehensive about attending a class I would highly recommend you give it a try. Ruth is very welcoming and caters for all levels of ability, and I’m sure you and your dog will have a great time

Cyprus experience working with rescue dogs Cyprus trip 2024 - Rescue dogs

An opportunity arose for me to go to Cyprus and spend time with (SPDC) Saving Pound Dogs Cyprus, 2nd Chance Dog Rescue, Simba Animal Aid - Cyprus, and Ammochostos Dog rescuers. Many dogs were either strays, abandoned, mistreated physically and or malnourished. Volunteers and other Aid workers had support from different trainers supporting them with positive re-enforcement training taking into account the personalities and welfare of each individual pup or dog.
