Helen's Testimonials

Grace came to me as a very sensitive, nervous and dog-reactive rescue and I asked both Helen and David to help me settle her into her new life. After an assessment with David who offered loads of advice, Grace started weekly training sessions with Helen. Grace has been doing recall, search, agility and scent work for a year now and all I can say she is a different dog. Grace quickly gained so much confidence, is eager to please and loves to show off her new skills each week. She absolutely trusts and adores Helen and greets her with such affection. Grace is a lurcher but with this training, her recall has improved enormously as well as her general manner on walks. Helen gives reports each week outlining all the commands she uses, showing Grace's achievements with fantastic photos to keep me up to date with what and how the training is going. I'm so pleased to have found Helen who gives 110% with Grace and has such a calm, kind and knowledgable approach to dogs, I can't recommend her enough."

Helen has been walking Wilf our Labradoodle from when he was very young. He’s now 16 months old.  Helen is much more than just a dog walker, she is 100% attentive to Wilf and has taught him basic and advanced commands. Helen’s walk and play sessions are the highlights of Wilf’s day and he adores Helen. On a personal level, Helen is very flexible, very reliable and keeps us informed on Wilf’s progress. We have been very lucky to find Helen.

Helen looks after my dog Flex, who is a loving but very strong mastiff/staff cross.  She visits him twice per day and has done so for the last 8 months, varying his activities according to his mood and always keeping me informed of how things are going with texts and photos.  Flex has had surgery during this period and during his recuperation, she incorporated gentle exercise, fed him and generally just kept his spirits up.  It is clear she has a genuine affection for the dogs in her care.  Having searched for some considerable time to find someone professional and trustworthy and who would not be intimidated by an un-neutered dog of this type of breed, it is a massive relief to have found Helen.  I trust Helen absolutely and am never worried when Flex is with her.  She is an absolute ‘jewel’ and I cannot recommend Helen highly enough.

What Helen offers is more than just a dog walking service.  Her passion for, and therefore understanding of dogs, really shines through and she loves the dogs she looks after as if they were her own.  What’s more, they LOVE her!
I really value the training element on Helen’s walks – it makes the service she provides second to none.  She has been working with my Labrador since she was a puppy and it’s definitely paying off.  Helen is a very rare find and I don’t hesitate in recommending her.

Helen has been fantastic with Milly, our very nervous crossbreed. She has worked tirelessly for the past couple of months to improve Milly’s lead walking skills, recall and to mentally stimulate her whilst we are out at school. I am pleased to say that Milly’s lead walking has improved amazingly. Helen is dependable and very flexible, always with the dog’s well being at her heart. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for training and dog walking to anyone.

Helen has been looking after Moretti my German Shepherd twice a week for almost a year.  I am completely confident that Helen will look after Moretti when arranged.  More importantly, I know that Helen will be completely responsible and attentive when exercising Moretti whilst around other; less well trained/controlled pets.  I feel that Helen takes a genuine interest in Moretti’s well being and she always does her very best to accommodate any last-minute visits.  With many thanks

After breaking my ankle I was in need of someone to walk my two dogs, an elderly Whippet and a young Shetland Sheepdog. I contacted Helen to see if she could help me. Helen came to my house the following day to meet my dogs and we organised days and times. Helen always arrived on time. My dogs and myself were very pleased to see her. Helen took each dog out separately as they required different types of walking.  Helen was very kind, gentle and also positive with my dogs. They adored her.  I would thoroughly recommend Helen and will keep in contact with her as I felt very happy with all her help.

I’ve always been cautious about asking people for advice and support about my dogs; there seem to be so many people with different views.   Meeting Helen and David I realised that I had found two treasures, both completely different.  I can thoroughly recommend anyone seeking their advice, expertise and support.  One of their aims is to ensure that dogs and owners become comfortable with each other, in fact enjoy each others company.  Helen, thank you so much.  You came into our lives at a very crucial and difficult time.  I do not know how my daughter and I would have coped without your support.  You had only met myself and both dogs the day before, but with no hesitation the next day you responded calmly and practically to my daughters request.  You took us all under your wing for about two weeks, training both dogs with your sensitivity and experience my daughter soon became comfortable working both dogs.  Thank you for giving up so much of your time to check on all of us, even after you had finished working with us.  The dogs just adore Helen and David.  I can honestly say that I have never met any two people who really love and work with dogs in such a caring, wise and sensitive way.  David to me is an original dog whisperer.  He has that special element, that certain something that dogs recognise and respond to.  I have no hesitation in recommending Helen and David and I wish I had not left it so long before contacting them

For the first time since Kia was rescued (and she is now 14 years old) we found ourselves needing somebody to help care and walk her for a few days each week whilst away on holiday.  We were extremely fortunate to find Helen who has proved to be an absolute treasure.

Helen listened carefully to our requirements on her initial visits to the house and within hours had produced a schedule of times when she would take care of Kia both morning and afternoon.  Helen ensured she gave Kia walks and fun exercises completely appropriate to her age sending through photographs and messages about the type of things she had been doing with her.

We have no doubt Kia loves being with Helen. From our point of view, we have found Helen to be trustworthy, totally reliable and dedicated to providing the very best service possible.  We cannot recommend Helen highly enough.  

With our very grateful thanks.

Helen has walked our energetic and bouncy Entlebucher Mountain Dog Alfie for a little over six months, and I only have good things to say about her! She's always on time and texts us after every walk to let us know how much fun Alfie has had. Alfie loves her and squeals with delight when he hears her car approaching. She doesn't just take him for a walk, she plays with him, and adds a little obedience and tricks training to their walks so he gets valuable mental stimulation added to his day - important stuff for clever working dogs like Alfie. Alfie gives her five stars, and so do I

If you are looking for someone to take care of your dogs, then I would highly recommend Helen. She has been a regular feature in our lives for over two years now. She is reliable, thoughtful and always sensitive to the needs of different dogs: young and old and gives me a daily text to update me. Our dogs love her!
