What our clients have to say

Engaging

We’ve just had our first session and already looking forward to the next. Morty is flat out on the floor having had his brain fully worked out and we humans have been left with lots of positive techniques to work with.

It’s true that training a dog is as much about training the humans and Ally teaches in an easy to understand manner and most importantly doesn’t rush through the detail. Each part is explained in a fun and engaging way which makes the whole training enjoyable for all involved.

Would highly recommend and will no doubt end up being better owners.

Invaluable

Ally is a highly skilled and knowledgeable dog trainer, but most importantly she loves all dogs and they love her. Ally advised us on how to prepare for our puppy which helped us to settle him quite quickly.

The 1:1 training sessions in our own home were great. They often ended with Ally answering lots of questions over a cup of coffee while Sam fell into an exhausted sleep, so we also learnt a lot.

Ally’s advice and support were invaluable, and much appreciated.

Brilliant

Where do I start?... Ally has been there to support us right from the beginning and boy did we need her help! Our gorgeous pup was what you could call a handful from day 1. we had brought up a puppy before but this time it felt 1 million % harder.

We were at breaking point when Ally came along like Mary Poppins just at the right time. She worked with all the family and provided her knowledge, patience, dedication and love. I really do not know what we would have done without her and I can't thank her enough.

Ally has been amazing and our pup just loves her. she really is brill!

Down to earth

Ally is so down to earth and understands the reality of how dogs fit into a busy family!

She has made us love dog training again without the guilt that can sometimes be felt if you don’t get it quite right!

We have already noticed massive improvements in our dogs lead work and lunging behaviour.

Enthusiastic

Great enthusiastic intuitive teacher for both dog and I. Really enjoyed the training and Tallulah, my dog, amazed me as Ally brought out the best in her.

Off to a working test this weekend, fingers crossed!

Fantastic

Ally has been there to support us and I recommend everything about Karma Dogs.

Ally is fantastic and everything she’s told us has worked. Very knowledgeable and professional and also a lovely lady to work with.

Totally gets her clients and never belittles the owner or their methods.

Fun and Tailored

We had such a lovely time with Alison.

Pippin learned easily and enjoyed the fun involved and the little tricks and treats I’m proud to have an obedient (mostly, squirrels always a challenge) dog.

I appreciated Alison’s advice and her willingness to tailor sessions to park or house depending on what I could manage.

Calming

We have loved our sessions with Ally at Karma Dogs so far!

Ally is an extremely calming influence and her breadth of knowledge and advice on training is second to none?

I would highly recommend Karma Dogs to anyone.

Confidence

Ally is a fabulous dog trainer. Not only has she taught me loads in a short space of time, she has instilled me with confidence which I’d lost. Literally the best money

I've spent in a long time. I felt a huge sense of relief that I have a pro to guide me both with my training and as a sounding board that will help me get both of them where they need to be.

A million thanks Ally.

Lisa with Beau

Patient and Gentle

Highly recommend Karma Dogs.

Booked 5 sessions with Ally to provide guidance in training my 6mth old rescue pup Jessie.

Ally was fantastic in showing me methods for training and keeping my puppy stimulated to help prevent boredom. Ally is extremely patient and gentle with training methods.

I thought the cost of 5 session was value for money. Jessie was always tuckered out after each session!

Thank you Ally for helping Jessie and I!

Lauren with Jessie

Friendly

We’ve just started our second lot of sessions with Ally at Karma dogs and the positive training techniques we’ve been given are working wonders with our German Shepherd pup.

Ally is really friendly and knowledgeable and has given us lots of great ideas and tips. We look forward to our sessions each week and we grow in confidence as owners after each visit.

We are so happy to see our furbaby growing in to a well rounded dog and a lot of it is down to Ally!

Charlotte and Daron with Stark

Invaluable

Having recently got my first dog Ally was invaluable at giving advice.

The sessions Ollie and I had were enjoyable and Ally is so informative. It was the best thing I could have done with Ollie and I quickly gained in confidence through practicing what Ally taught us in the 'lessons'.

I have recommended Ally to all my dog owning friends.

Jenny with Ollie

Patient and Kind

We booked a puppy course with Ally a few weeks after returning home with our puppy, Henry the Cockapoo.

Henry loved Ally from the moment he met her (probably because of all the amazing toys and treats she came prepared with).

He’s quite a reserved puppy but by the end of the first session he was already gaining confidence and we took loads of helpful tips and advice away with us. I’m not sure where we would have been without Ally.

The puppy course is excellent value for money and trains you in real life situations that you can practice every day. Thank you Ally - from Henry’s family!!

Kim and Pete with Henry

Real life training

I contacted Ally at Karma Dogs when our Border Collie decided at 7 months old it was time to become a little tyke, and following a bit of a hiccup with a runner causing me to lose confidence.

Ally gave me, a first time dog owner, tools, advice and tips to get my cheeky puppy back on track and to rebuild my confidence.
Ally is knowledgeable, patient and kind. She never looks at a clock, or the weather forecast (have waterproofs handy) and focuses on the needs of you and your dog the whole session. Our dog is now 2 and a half but I still drop in on Ally for advice and guidance if I feel it's needed and she's always there and happy to help.

Wonderful start

I enlisted the help of Ally on the recommendation of a friend when Tilly was just 9 weeks old. I had never owned a dog before and wanted to get things right from the get go.

From our first session together Ally taught me the best way to be with Tilly - everything from foundation training, daily routine, transport, sleeping and all aspects of puppy well-being.

Everything was done in a calm, friendly, encouraging and professional manner. Tilly absolutely adores Ally and loved all our sessions together. I feel I am now a confident owner of a flourishing puppy who loves learning new things especially off-lead training to the whistle.

Thank you Ally for providing us with a wonderful start of what I know will be a long loving life together!
