EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Gaynor Lloyd-DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare is the perfect dog training coach. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease when you're trying to get your young dog to focus . She's so calm and has excellent tips and advice about how to do that effectively and have fun with a great sense of achievement for both you and your dog 🐕🐕Posted on Andy LancelotTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Digby absolutely loved his training sessions and we learned some superb retrieval and search techniques and some very useful tricks. Digby’s confidence in himself has increased massively. He’s very happy and therefore so are we 😁👍Posted on Jen RigbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant workshop with Clare, who was welcoming and knowledgeable. She gave great tips for managing behaviour in the field as well as clear instructions for how to do the games, which our dog loved. Highly recommend.Posted on Malcolm JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The taster session I completed today with my dog [Twm], was a perfect introduction, and confirmation that this type of class suited us , and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Clare was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about helping both dogs and their owners succeed.Posted on Delyth HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare has been amazing in helping me train my very excited, over-the—top 20 month old Golden Retreiver. She never criticizes bad habits but gets good changes to happen in a fun way for me and for my dog. I cannot praise her enough. Diolch, Clare for all your patience and perseverance. 🐶Posted on Esyllt HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Rufus (7month Golden Lab) and I loved our Scurry Dogs taster session and are signed up for the foundation course already! Thank youPosted on Caroline BenjaminTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve just completed the Scurry Dog classes with Bound Ahead Dog Training, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! These sessions, which cleverly use gundog-style games tailored for pet dogs, have been an incredibly fun and rewarding experience for both myself and my dog. Under Clare’s expert guidance, I’ve learned so much – not just about training techniques, but also about reading and understanding my dog better. The classes were engaging and enjoyable every single week, filled with practical games that my spaniel absolutely loved. Clare’s calm, supportive approach made learning easy and enjoyable, and she was always on hand with advice, encouragement, and insight. The skills we’ve picked up haven’t just stayed on the training field – they’ve made a real difference in everyday life. From improving recall and focus to building confidence and a stronger bond, I’ve seen noticeable improvements thanks to Clare’s knowledge and thoughtful teaching style. We’re already looking forward to continuing our training journey when the new classes begin. A huge thank you to Clare and Bound Ahead – we’re hooked!
