Jemma is a fantastic trainer. Her calm nature, attention to detail and the way she breaks down the exercises means I have always had great success with my dog when training with her.

Whistle and Wag are exceptional dog trainers with an ability to connect with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Their approach builds trust and with understanding of canine behaviour and effective training techniques by reinforcing positive behaviour in a way that’s clear and consistent. I can’t praise enough for their patience, professionalism, and passion for helping both my dog and myself build a stronger, healthier relationship. They deliver results that truly make a difference. They’re extremely approachable and I always look forward to my next course start date.
Thank you!

I’ve attended several events where Jemma from Whistle and Wag has been one of the trainers. She really understands spaniels which is great as I have 3! She always makes training fun and I have always come away feeling more confident and very happy with my dogs performance. Great trainers!

Whistle and Wag Dog training take great care to ensure that they work with the owner and dog to provide training to enhance the knowledge and confidence of the owner and in turn the successful training of their dogs. I have received first hand training from Whistle and Wag and their knowledge and expertise have been invaluable in helping me with my own dog

Lisa Chinnery, August 2022
My 6 year old cocker spaniel had become very nervous and lost all confidence after a situation at home. We went to jemma and Nikki's 8 week course and it was the best thing ever. The first week she didn’t come out from under a chair, by the eighth week she was so very happy and confident a totally different dog. Our walks are an absolute pleasure now, fantastic recall, and obviously I learnt a lot too! I can’t thank them enough.
