Eric

Linnea and Gregor have helped us so much over the past 2 years I don't even know where to start in beginning to thank them. Our dog Eric, is a rescue from the charity Wild at Heart Foundation. He is a pointer/spaniel cross. Eric came to us when he was around 3 months old.

I had actually emailed Walk and Train back when we were at the stage of planning to get a dog as my husband and I were really keen to get off to the best possible start with regards to training and we knew that we would need some guidance. At this stage we were not even clients of Linnea's and she kindly responded with some thoughts and advice. We knew that Walk and Train were the place to go once Eric arrived. We have since had one to one sessions, attended group classes and Eric is also walked every week by Gregor and has boarded with Gregor and Linnea when we have been on holiday.

Linnea and Gregor go way above and beyond any expectations that we may of had of a dog training and walking service. Their passion and willingness to help and support is immeasurable. It is obvious to us that they deeply care about the dogs in their care and genuinely want people to succeed.

Linnea has a way of teaching which has resulted in us learning so much about Eric and understanding his personality and his needs. We have been given a lot of practical advice to help us deal with various behavioural issues we have had along the way but we have also had an education on dog behaviour and understanding the influence that our own behaviours have on Eric. As a result I think our bond with Eric is so much stronger and deeper and this is thanks to Linnea.

We also massively owe our thanks to Gregor for all the hard work and dedication he puts in to Eric's development when out on the walks. I can't stress how grateful we are for this. Because of Gregor's expertise, Eric has the opportunity to socialise with other dogs and have time off leash in a controlled environment. These are areas that we are personally still working on during our own walks. We trust Gregor and Linnea wholeheartedly and it is such a relief to know that Eric is safe and happy when in their care.

We would highly recommend Walk and Train and feel very lucky to have their on going guidance and support.
