She is well-accredited and skilled, always using positive reinforcement methods that keep both dogs and owners engaged and motivated.

I give Preston Trick Dogs 11 out of 10. Dawn Heaton is fully qualified in many areas of dog training, I or should I say we as in ( two of my dogs) have learned so much since joining the PTD family from the online classes and workshops which I can recommend. I love the trick training which is great for building a greater bond with our dogs. All the training is delivered in a fun way which makes us humans and dogs want to do more. Dawn also adapts her workshops to accommodate dogs that may not be confident working around other dogs which makes it inclusive for all. Puppies, older, dogs, rescues and everything in between are made welcome, in addition the training is adapted to the dog and handler in front of Dawn, it isn't a case of one cap fits all. There's lots available to choose from, take a look then book on you won't go wrong that's for sure. Thank you for everything Dawn from Marion & Max Less

I’d been looking for a trainer for our 4 year old pocket pointer rescue for a while, thank god we found Dawn and PTD. Puppy classes are excellent, well managed and focus on teaching the owners the foundation and basics, well. I can see a huge difference in the relationship and bond we have with Verne thanks to all the hints and tips we’ve learnt. Dawn is a master of her craft and a fountain of knowledge when it comes to dogs of all shapes and sizes. Absolutely brilliant!!! 🤩 Less

As a business we've hosted Dawn from Preston Trick Dogs to the Scottish Borders for the last 3 year for Tricks & Heelwork to Music workshops and they have always been absolutely fantastic. Dawn works with each team to make sure they fully understand everything. Always a sell out and always so much fun for both the dogs and owners! Less

Attended the 4 week puppy foundation course & was so pleased with Dawn's methodology, knowledge & the experience that I booked on for an extension for a further 8 weeks. Dawn is someone with genuine experience & isn't someone posing as a dog trainer, I love that her own dogs aren't robots and can be cheeky, allowing their personalities & characters, whilst having incredibly well behaved & obedient dogs. You get out what you put into this. I think her puppy classes are a little more complex than your standard, offering life skills, alternative tricks & explanations as to why we might shape a behaviour. Dawn is approachable, knowledgeable & a true dog lover, patient & fun! There is a wide range of classes on offer, which I am sure I will look at attending. Less
