Walk and Train Edinburgh have been nothing short of life savers. When we first contacted them for advice, we were having difficulty even on the shortest, simplest of walks with our 1 year old rescue dog. After the first consultation with Linnea, we already felt better. Instead of dreading going for a walk, we were given tools and advice that we could use to help calm and focus the dog (and us) when out and about and build trust between us all.

We had difficulty with our dog reacting to other dogs in the neighbourhood/in the park and also people she did not know, coming into the house or trying to talk with us in the street.

We joined these fantastic ‘reactive dog’ training classes and noticed a massive improvement in the dog but I think even more importantly, there was a difference in us. Walk and Train Edinburgh give you direct, non-nonsense advice, trying to explain how the dog is feeling and how you can work with them to provide a calm and confident environment.

Our dog has settled down a lot, she now knows how to deal with previously stressful situations and we know that we can all work together to make further improvements. This result has only come about through the caring ad clear advice that we have received from Linnea and Gregor. They are always on hand to offer advice, even though we now live too far away to attend the classes, and I would suggest anyone that is struggling with their dogs behaviour, should speak to these guys over anyone else. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without them!
