Holley is great; she doesn't 'lecture' or judge; she is incredibly knowledgeable and has mountains of helpful tips and information. She offers so many different options for working/playing/socialising.

Holley is an expert at what she does. She is incredibly knowledgeable and as first time dog owners we learnt a lot from her. Our dog responded to all her wonderful training sessions and I’m so glad we took him to her puppy classes!

Holley provides an excellent service to local dog owners, I have been to several different classes with my dog and we have both enjoyed them and learnt a lot.
Rosemary Dennis, August 2025
Holley helped us so much with our dog Benji, he doesn't like other dogs, Holley explained why he was like this and showed us how to help him. Now we can take him out for short walks.
Ray Hicks, August 2025
Holley is extremely helpful with our rescue dog who had so many problems. She always explains why he is acting in a particular manner and what we can do to alleviate any unwanted behaviour. Her patience and expertise with dogs and their ‘parents’ is what makes her service second to none

Brian Kenny, August 2025
Holly is patient, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We would not take our boy to anyone else.
Angela Keatings, August 2025
We have known Holley at Ruff since my dog was a pup, he’s now 5.
She offers a wealth of experience on all subjects, and her classes are great too, we attend socialisation for small dogs regularly. We’ve also been to Agility, we go to Scent Games..and they’re great fun! No question is deemed too daft, and most importantly for us, her advice gets results without aversion, something I really don’t like.
It was great to hear she has been nominated, it’s well deserved!
Pam Eadie, August 2025
Our 16 month old cocker Ozzy has received a lot of help with his training from Ruff Dog Training. He had a puppy package, attended puppy class, had dedicated training sessions, small group training, loose lead class, a six week scent work introductory course and currently attends fun agility. Holley is always professional and knows how to help the dogs learn and become the best version they can of themselves using fun, force free, reward based training. I would and do recommend Ruff Dog Training 100%.

Elaine King, August 2025
Holley is wonderful with my very excitable dog. She is learning all the time and just loves her sessions.
Chantelle Alp, August 2025
Holly has been brilliant with my toy poodle when she was a puppy teaching Brie and me basic exercise. Also I suffer with anxiety Holly made me feel very comfortable. Recently Brie keeps stoping on her walks. I went to one of Holly small dog groups and Holly but Brie in a smaller field of lead. Holly was telling me that Brie was happy by her body language and let one dog in at a time for Brie could play with. Then she has followed up with me about some extra training. I feel Holly go above and beyond for dogs to help.

Holley is a fantastic trainer and her passion for dogs is clear. She provides a wide variety of excellent services through Ruff and we couldn’t be more grateful for all her advice and support.
Julie Burgess, August 2025
Holly is fantastic; she has good understanding on how dogs work and think. Holly came to use to help us train our Dachshund Otto, who is very vocal and stubborn. Holly helped us to understand his body language and gave us tips on training. Holly full assessment on Otto is compressive with lots of ideas, and I still refer to this information when introducing new routine or to recap on ongoing training.

Zoe Bowles, August 2025
Holley is an amazing dog trainer. She is very approachable and knowledgeable and gives you a lot of information, advice and guidance around puppy training, scentwork, agility, recall and one to one services. I really enjoy the small dog club sessions once a month, when doggie parents and their fur babies can meet in a safe enclosed field to watch and enjoy seeing their dogs run around and play together. Such a lovely experience. Holley is so amazing and we always look forward to going along to the next session we are booked on.
Sally Horsley, August 2025
