Kate is an absolutely fantastic trainer, she has so much knowledge and is such an empathetic person to work with too! Couldn't ask for better - if you want a trainer who will help you and your dog have the best relationship then Kate is the trainer for you! Less

Kate is a fantastic dog trainer! She took the time to understand our problem and her expert advice and guidance has had amazing results for our Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend booking 1:1 training with Kate! Less

We’ve only had 3 sessions so far and Kate has already helped my red labrador with reactivness looking forward to the rest would definitely recommend 👍🏻Thanks Kate Less

I'm thousands of pounds deep and my dog is worse.I have never missed payment for service. I had issues such as booking an hours lesson and the training venue being booked for only 30 minutes! I just wanted someone to help with training due to a decline in my health.Some days I'd be told there was no training venue available on the DAY OF the session/offered a completely inappropriate venue.I had difficulty with accommodations considering she was an assistance dog trainer. Why take on a client KNOWING they were autistic (which effects communication) & disabled to later discriminate based on "communication' difficulties. When the trainer was the one not sending things as promised and not responding in a timely manner. We were promised a training plan "that week" and it wasn't sent for 3 weeks and was half a page of vague info that would have taken 15 minutes at most. They were working above their competency level.Constant sessions putting my dog over threshold. I tried to explain I was not comfortable with my dog put in situations where she would whine/lunge but wasn't listened to. Due to my conditions I find it really challenging to advocate for myself.£240+ a month for damage to our training progress from before we saw this trainer.I was disappointed with the trainer not booking an appropriate venue. Constant last minutes changes. I would often have to request the venue location on the day of training. Sometimes multiple times. We had sessions in busy inappropriate environments to train brand new and complex behaviours dog dealing with typical excitement.The trainer also listed payment as an issue. However. I ALWAYS PAID and would always pay on the day of the session AT THE LATEST. I paid via bank transfer and sometimes there is a delay beyond my control for the transfer. I explained about my disabilities but no accommodations were offered. I would have been more than happy to offer to do a direct debit.The sessions were supposed to be £60 for 45 to 60 minutes. But often the sessions were cut short. The venues were often only booked for 30 minutes. For 1 hour sessions.I feel taken advantage of as obviously this is not okay.For a 1 hour session a venue should have been booked for an hour minimum!The first time at the field we started late, 10 minutes we were parked at the end of the drive waiting to park and get in as the trainer apparently had conflicts with the prior user. These problems should have been dealt with by the trainer, it is unfair for a client to foot the bill for this.If you don't feel confident working with ND individuals then please don't work with them to later criticise them due to their disability. The trainer had vast info to understand my conditions as she was meant to be helping with training for assistance dog tasks.I've spent thousands on this training.And all it's done is make my dog WORSE. I can't express how hurt I am and how much my trust has been destroyed.I have never given a business a bad review but I want other ND people to avoid this same experience.I found out the trainer tried to lie about my experience when I shared it publicly. A customer is well within their rights to express dissatisfaction with a service and share a cautionary tale. And if a business owner is unhappy with this there are channels they can pursue if they believe they're in the right.I will be approaching some orgs as autistic persons being criticised for communication is harmful as communication difficulties are part of the condition and can't be helped.I will be contacting trading standards as things such as being charged a fee for an hour training whilst the trainer books venues for only 30 minutes is taking advantage and is extremely poor.Just be cautious using this service as if you share your negative experiences with this business you will face endless denial, twisting of the facts and an army of their friends blindly believing their story and posting counter reviews so your experience is covered up.

Couldn’t recommend the faithful dog trainer more. Kate is a wonderful human and her love of dogs is evident in everything she does. She has helped us from the week our lab puppy came home and I would really recommend her puppy package. We’ve also been to classes which helped our dog to learn with plenty of distractions whilst being safe in her own space. We’ve seen so much progress with our clever puppy who loves to learn. She’s the first dog I’ve ever had who I can walk off the lead and it’s all thanks to Kate who is very knowledgeable and super patient with us. Thank you 😊 Less

Kate helped me to understand my dogs behaviour better, she helped me to find ways to get my dog to respond to cues, and how to build them up from the smallest steps Less

Kate The Faithful Dog Trainer is superb and a lovely person to work with. Kind, patient, force free, knowledgable and a great sense of humour - recommend her unreservedly! Less

Kate is absolutely amazing! Our pup, Lorelai, adores her, and we do too! She’s not just a trainer—she’s part therapist, part friend, and 100% incredible at what she does. Her positive training methods have led to such positive changes, and she always makes us feel comfortable and confident. She’s also been instrumental in laying the foundation for Lorelai to become an assistance dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares🩷 Less

Well what can I say about The Faithful Dog Trainer. Not only does she work wanders with your dog but she is brilliant with the owners too. Kate helped my daughter train her people reactive dog to not only walk past people calmly but also sits on his mat when people come into our house. She really connected with my daughter and had a really good understanding of how to work with them both. Thank you Kate for all your help. Less

We had a block of 5 sessions with Kate recently and can’t recommend enough. Our 11 month old puppy Benji was very reactive to other dogs and we saw massive improvements in just 5 sessions. We now also have all the tools we need to carry on his training going forward. Less

Kate has help mylo and me and the family out so much she listens and understands the stress of having a people reactive dog and really help you understand your dog better and supports you the whole way through mylo has made a loads of progress in just 5 weeks not quite there yet but I can see his massive improvement all thanks to Kate Less

I would highly recommend Kate to anybody who is looking for help and support with training their dog. We have learned so much in our 4 week course and 1-2-1 session and can see such a big improvement in our Labrador. Kate is patient, knowledgeable and friendly and our doggy loves going to her classes. Less

My puppy has come on so much from following the guidance Kate gave us. The classes where in small groups with each dog having their own section to work in. Less

I have been having 1:1 sessions with Kate and our Vizsla Bella. Kate has so much time and patience during our sessions and gives constant feedback and reassurance to both myself and Bella! Kate adapts her sessions based on the dogs breed, which has quickly helped us figure out what does and doesn’t work with Bella. Thank you for all your help and support so far Kate ☺️ I would definitely highly recommend! Less

A great dog trainer. Kate has so much knowledge about dog behaviour, and it’s evident she loves what she does. I always recommend to anyone who wants an obedient and happy dog. Less

Kate is a very positive and patient dog trainer. My crossbreed loves her. Kate explains training steps in a way that's easy to take on board and practice at home. Would highly recommend. Less

Kate is wonderful. Kate helped us with our Doberman, Rubie, when she was going through some difficult late puppy/teenager behaviour. Kate was patient and knew how to grab Rubie’s attention quickly, so we got so much from the training. I would highly recommend Kate. Less

Kate is the absolute best trainer. Our puppy has become an absolute dream after working with her. We always have detailed training plans to look back at and Kate’s always on hand for advice. So knowledgeable about everything puppy and everything that will come in the future, she really knows her stuff. And it helps that our pup absolutely loves her (probably more than he loves us) Less

I cannot recommend Kate enough. She has helped us with our Dobermann, Rubie, when we needed help with her over guarding of the family and general puppy work. We now have a wonderful pooch! Less
