Wow! Luke is amazing. He understands all dogs somehow - so much experience. Marnie is a rescue street dog (5/6months) then in kennels for 2 months. We have worked closely in 1-2-1 sessions over the last few months and he has given me so much confidence (massively) and practical training adapted each time to suite Marnie. He finds the dogs passion and works with it. I can’t list it all, but for a start I will try and list some: recall, nervous dogs, lead walking, reduce barking, make sure dog feels safe (so simple), name recognition (similar to recall), using a whistle, special words, and one of my favourites play play play. Thank you Luke

I've used LDS twice now (adolescent classes and one to one training) and my experience was completely positive. Luke is a great communicator and advocate for dogs' needs. I really like the compassionate and understanding-led style of training used by the school. Luke tailors the training to the dog and your environment and provided us with specific - and fun - strategies to take away. Having been at the end of my tether with a reactivity-prone, anxious young dog, I now have have so much more confidence moving forwards. Cannot recommend highly enough for those needing some extra help to get the most out of your relationship with your dog.

Luke's dog school helped us immensely with helping to train our puppy and helping to train us to know how to work with her. She has come on leaps and bounds, literally working on the leaping up today and now we know what to do we can move forward with this and all the other training we have done so far. Heidi wouldn't be where she is now in her development without the training that we have had with Luke's dog school. We will be continuing with further training opportunities where Luke's dog school deliver bespoke training for individual dogs and their families.

We attended 3 different workshops with our 18-month rescue dog (lead training, recall and impulse control) and we really enjoyed all of them. Luke’s instructions are very clear, and the classes are fun for both the dog and the humans! Luke’s guidance has given us the confidence to seriously work on specific issues we had been facing, and we’ve quickly started seeing results. We’ll definitely be back for more classes as this was a great experience

Luke's Dog School has helped us so much with our enthusiastic 8 month old Labrador. Luke's calm and positive approach has enabled us to strengthen the bond with our pup and given us lots of helpful ways to manage our training around distractions. The classes were really well-organised, productive and fun and Luke was always happy to offer tailored advice where needed.

Luke and Reena are so patient and informative. Learnt a lot in 6 weeks and my puppy loved being taught new instructions too.

Luke knows what he is doing. He is always punctual to the sessions. No aggressive training- very kind and thoughtful of my dog’s needs. Although my dog is very nervous and anxious around strangers at all times she took to him by the end of the first session. I will go to Luke for follow sessions in the summer.

Had one 121 session with Luke on loose lead walking and recall and I’ve already seen a great improvement. Will definitely be booking in for more training sessions.

    Knowledgeable & friendly

    “Luke is an excellent dog trainer.

    He explained the reasons why my dog might behave the way he does, and demonstrated clearly how to reward the behaviour I wanted.

    I found Luke to be knowledgeable and friendly, and a fount of knowledge.

    I’ve been practicing what he taught us, and it is paying off. Monty is starting to settle when we’re in a cafe instead of needing constant attention.”
