Puppy Course. 'Mira my whippet is very shy and timid, she has come a long well in class though still nervous, Kate was very good with her and approached her slightly differently allowing her the space she needs. Mira has learnt to play with other dogs and learnt that a tunnel and a ramp are not the scariest things on the planet !! Her obedience has become much better and i felt she enjoyed the learning process x'

It wasn't too much of a problem because out on walks she would just give them a wide berth, but then my Goddaughter had a little boy 2 yrs ago. She was really nervous around him and if he approached her would growl and bark.Enter Kate, She spent more than an hour with us and persuaded Lexi that time spent with a

Puppy Course - ' I met Kate during summer time with my first dog Nana to take the foundation course. And this year, I took my second dog Cotton to attend Kate's course again. She is very friendly and uses force free techniques to teach owners to train the dogs. I saw much difference before and after each session from my dog and I recommend everyone who needs to train their dogs to find Kate. Both happy owner and puppy x'

We needed someone to come and look after our 6 month year old golden retriever Dexter. Kate fitted us in with such short notice and helped us out all week. Dexter seems to have loved it! She’s washed him off every day and fed him before leaving. Really happy with the service. He’s been a tired pooch all week 🐶🐾 . Repeat client since April 2019.

I was really pleased with the pet minding service from Kate. She came to meet my pet family before I went away and put my mind at ease as soon as I met her! She genuinely loves animals and when I went away she sent me pictures and messages telling me how they were doing. The pictures showed my animals were getting lots of affection and looked so happy! I would definitely not hesitate to use Kate's services again and would highly recommend her!

Amazing foundation course for my chocolate lab Bella (1yr old) who is very energetic. Wanted to socialize her with other dogs as she was getting a little hyper on her lead when meeting other dogs. I can't believe the transformation with Bella during the 8 weeks, she's learnt lots and I've learnt how to handle her better on her lead. The harness has really helped recommended by Kate and it was great to see Bella interacting with other dogs. A wonderful environment full of extremely friendly people and very cute dogs.

Kate, who runs the course is friendly and full of good advice and is happy to answer any questions you have, no matter how obvious the answer might seem! At the class, there is just the right amount of dogs/puppies to allow you to socialise your pooch, but not too many that it becomes loud and unmanageable. Classes are split into puppy play time, tricks, basic training drills and techniques and question and answer sessions. Instructions and tips for training were really clear and all based on positive reinforcement. Frank our loud and anxious border

After meeting Kate at the Middleport Mutts event, I contacted her to get my dog fitted for a Perfect Fit harness as Kate is a local supplier. The harnesses come in three different pieces of differing sizes so can be mixed and matched to get the correct individual fit for each dog. My dog now has a comfortably fitting harness which stays in place. I can not only highly recommend the Perfect Fit harness but also the service Kate provides.
