We started Agility with our dog, Walter, last year when he was only a few months old. His progress is unbelievable and it's thanks to Gee and Beth who are absolute stars. They always have good advice, are very professional and make the training fun not just for our dogs but for us humans as well.


Annette Thomas, November 2022

They go the extra mile with the 1 2 1 training. Very supportive with lots of advice

Everyone at Barkleys are so friendly and welcoming. My dog Binky loves to go and spend the day there, playing with her pals. Also the dog agility training is fantastic, the training staff are so good and very encourageing and professional

Friendy service- highly recommend


Holly Asquith, October 2022

I have always found Barkley’s training classes to be very organised, engaging and insightful. The trainers are incredibly knowledgable and even though it has been a group setting, they have always made the time to speak to and review everyone’s progress independently which made me feel very valued and supported when working with my dog. As a whole the Barkely’s team have made such a valuable impression on the wellbeing of both my dog and me- thank you 😊


Lydia Hardy, October 2022

We started Barkleys with our nervous German Shepherd puppy and she has absolutely loved it. Beth has been amazing and is so knowledgeable & always has the time to help you, even outside of the training room. Our puppy has come such a long way in 4 weeks and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without Barkleys Dog Training Academy. Thank you once again!


Anita Harper, October 2022

Barkleys really do need to have my vote as they are a team of very professional, patient,

and caring people who provide a fun and exciting opportunity for our little fluff ball.

We have been using Barkleys services from recall to doggy daycare for well over 2 years and, really can’t find fault. Our fluff ball gets excited in the car once he realises we are heading for Barkleys! Keep up the great work you all do 🐶🐶


Karen Harper, October 2022

We have had one to one training with one of the trainers from Barkley’s with our German Shepherd. Very friendly and knowledgeable team

We took our spaniel Chester earlier this year for training. The staff there are brilliant and give you lots of guidance. Chester did really well. My sons dog also goes to daycare and she’ loves it. Highly recommend.

As a loving owner of my puppy Mace, we BOTH absolutely love Barkleys- the various different training courses and interactive classes are amazing. Barkleys really do tailor to any needs of each pooch. Myself and Mace want to say a massive shout out to Beth who is undoubtedly an amazing professional caring trainer. We highly recommend Barkleys to all pooches and owners out there. Barkleys you get our nomination all day every day 🐶🐾❤️

Georgina has gone above and beyond to help me with my older dogs behaviour. She is knowledgeable, patient, reassuring and responsive answering and questions I have had.


Helen Robinson, October 2022

My rescue dog has been coming to day care and has really improved in his confidence. The staff are lovely and friendly. My dog also does agility training there and he has come on so much with his recall. He's such a happy confident dog who can have off lead walks and it's down to them.


Lydia Lancaster, October 2022

Our sausage Ronnie absolutely loves going to daycare at Barkley and Co


Yvonne Waring, October 2022

Would not hesitate to recommend Barkley’s dog training. They helped enormously with my lively Cocker Spaniel! They are not judgemental and their courses are delivered in a positive and encouraging way.


Charlotte McGinn, October 2022

Barkley were amazing with my puppy during our training classes, they were so patient and knowledgeable and were always happy to talk through any problems we had.


Rebecca Everett, October 2022

Barkleys has helped me with Lily (my exceptionally smart, stubborn and energetic Doxie) throughout months and have constantly offered support and advice well after our sessions had ended. Lily absolutely loves the team, and always enjoys herself whenever we visit, be it for the occasional puppy playgroup or a session of learning. All of the staff members are so knowledgeable and welcoming and I couldn't recommend them enough.


Donna Howard, October 2022

We attended puppy classes, the attention given to each of us was excellent. They adapting training as needed and offered helpful individual advice. It felt as thought the trainers genuinely love dogs and that everything I could ask for .


Emma Crossley, October 2022

We took our girl, Sundae, to Barkleys for puppy training classes & they were fantastic! We have seen such an improvement in Sundae & we will definitely be back for future training & the doggy daycare 🐾


Sarah Morris, October 2022

Great friendly enviroment and the trainers are always available should you need any help.


Jennifer Lake, October 2022

My puppy learned so much from their puppy classes and I learned so much too. The staff were great at explaining what to do, and the dogs had an amazing time!


Alison Ramsey, October 2022

Amazing staff - all dogs are treated like their own and they work with you to sort any issues out . They offer a variety of classes at a variety of times - highly recommended


Penny Clifton, October 2022

My dog, Buddy, and I have been going to agility classes for 7 months, with Beth, our trainer, and Abbie helping. We both love it. We get expert training with lots of advice and encouragement. The progress Buddy has made is amazing . I would definitely recommend Barkleys if you are considering any form of dog training.


Louise Bragan, October 2022

Great friendly staff.

Attended puppy school and puppy classes in 2022 and all the staff we met were fab with the dogs and owners alike.


paul mcguire, October 2022

Did loose lead course with georgina and my 6 month old sprocker Robyn and really enjoyed it Georgina was lovely with me and Robyn .


Jade Cooper, October 2022

Amazing puppy classes and it’s been really good for socialising our covid puppy at the playgroup they run on a Saturday morning. All the trainers are so knowledgeable and go above and beyond to ensure you and your dog get the best advice possible


Laura Megson, October 2022

Georgina our trainer was really friendly and made the training real fun for all the pups who attended the session.

She explained clearly how to get the best out of our pups and how best to keep their attention.

The training started on time every time and the training arena was clean and spacious. They also provided some props like the mat, extra long training lead and toys.

Welcome packs and photo certificates were a real nice touch along with Abbie who support Georgina throughout the session.

It was clear that Georgina and Abbie have a passion for what they do and welcome every dog that walks through their dogs.

Just an overall great place to go to learn and play.


Andy Mathery, October 2022

Outstanding care of animals and creative ways of engaging with them.


Donna Skeldon, October 2022

My dogs absolutely love the staff here and are so eager to go and have fun when I take them. Going here, with the support of the staff, has built so much confidence in one of them that you wouldn't think she was the same dog. Huge thanks from me.


Keely Micklethwaite, October 2022

The staff are amazing, very helpful and professional. We attended the puppy playschool for our rescue dog Spencer who was a bit nervous and it did him the world of good. He gained a lot of confidence and a lot of doggy friends. Thankyou Barkleys


Brooke Ennis, October 2022

The staff are really friendly and supportive and always come up with different salutations to your troubles


Hayley Thistleton, October 2022

The knowledge, patience and professionalism shown by the team at Barkleys Dog Training Academy is wonderful, and my dog Marcy has thoroughly enjoyed all the classes she’s participated in - from puppy behaviour to agility to a 1-2-1 session to help with her loose lead walking.


Sophia Krywycz, October 2022

The best dog trainers around! Wouldn’t recommend any where else!

The training that's been done with Peggy has made a big difference. We've learnt a lot which has made our life alot easier as we now have a well behaved and happy dog!


Helen Graham, September 2021

Mika has had 1:1 training at Barkleys Training Academy. We had an experienced and talented trainer in Beth. She was kind and patient with us all, and we all learnt lots. We use the techniques daily and everyone always comments on how well behaved Mika is for a 9 month old shepsky puppy.

Doggy Daycare really looked after Buddy our Beagle. Will always use them when in a pickle for Dog sitting services.

Pleasant staff, always helpful


Tyler Boston, September 2021

Wow! What an amazing team they really are. Duke has the best time ever with all of his friends and always came home shattered :). They team are so caring towards the dogs and want to make there time at daycare the best it can possibly be. The activities they provide for the pups is amazing and the fact the owners join in is just magical. It is like my child has gone to nursery they just make it so amazing! From swimming in pools in the heat and an air conditioned room for the pups, to having a sleeping area for napping and also lots of things to do it’s just one amazing place!


Judy Atkinson, September 2021

As a shift worker who often has to do extra shift work at short notice Barkleys day care is a life saver . It is very reasonably priced and is good for my dog Murphy in supporting his social skills. The staff are all lovely and clearly very enjoyable for the dog’s


Wendy Smith, September 2021

Experienced, knowledgeble and patient, they've really helped Hendrix become the good boy he is.

Ella Pinder, September 2021

We tried 3 different puppy training classes before finding barkleys, and theirs was by far the best. They really put effort into training you as an owner, and not just your dog, so it becomes a real partnership.


Rob Robertson, September 2021

Their dog training academy is outstanding. I've had all 3 of my dogs attend their classes and workshops and not only did they love it, but I did too. The classes are perfect for newbies and those mroe seasoned dog owners. 5 stars isn't enough. I've been to other facilities in Wakefield and Leeds who couldn't even fasten Beth's laces.


Bethany Morrison, September 2021

Beth the dog trainer is incredible, very approachable and knows what she's taking about!


Hayley Thistleton, September 2021

The staff here genuinely love dogs and make you feel so comfortable to be in the training environment. They are patient and thorough, and clearly have a great grasp of what it takes to get dogs of all ages and types to become well behaved, star pupils! Our dog Marcy has learnt so much with Barkleys Training Academy already and we can’t wait to start her on agility courses!


Ingrid Coughtrey, September 2021

Barkley’s training academy has been invaluable to us as first time dog owners. They were able to provide us with one-to-one support during lock down, which was brilliant for our pup. Since ‘graduating’ from puppy skool, we have attended various other events like recall training and our next course is basic agility. To be able to keep developing our skills as owners and build our bond with our dog has been amazing. The trainers at Barkley’s are very approachable before, during and after each course which has been reassuring and a real strength of this training academy. As they care about the training they deliver and want you & your dog to succeed. Communication is great, the information prior to any training is detailed and expectations/ goals clearly set out. They are always quick to reply to any queries or requests. The events are well run and Barkley’s staff create a welcome environment to make both dog & owners comfortable.


Natalie Gazeley, September 2021

Barkley's were excellent in helping us teach our dog some skills and tricks. As first time dog parents the friendly teaching and tips have been invaluable.


Bethany Morrison, August 2021

Fantastic trainers, we're so helpful during puppy classes!
