Dog Training by Design

★★★★★

“I was delighted to find Dog Training by Design, close by in Edinburgh, when I first brought my wee pup home. Pamela has been a huge help over this first year, sending plenty of resources, reassuring me of the different developmental stages and ensuring that me and my wee boy build a strong bond of love and trust. Pamela cuts through a lot of the archaic narrative around dog behaviour, sharing her years of experience and training, to give sound and rational advice. My little pup has such a lovely personality but I will definitely book more training again soon, to continue both his and my learning, ensuring he has plenty of compassionate discipline and mental stimulation. I’m so grateful, I couldn’t have done this on my own without Pamela’s support.”

“I signed up for a course of training sessions with Pamela at Dog Training by Design. The training sessions, which were tailored to fit our individual needs with the puppy, were held in my house and garden. The course was of great benefit to me in understanding the behaviour of my lively puppy. What I really liked was that weekly Pamela sent me example videos of the type of training sessions we had undertook, which reminded me how to keep up with the training. Pamela is very experienced and knowledgeable and has a strong background in dog training, and I would highly recommend her services.”

“Our 2 1/2 year old rescuevcollie-cross was very willful & liked nothing better than chasing bikes on the prom, snarling & lumging at other dogs ( despite being very gentle & friendly). We had 4 sessions with Pam, who really paid attention to our dog & how we were interacting with her. She explained what we needed to do when other dogs were around, & vitally, taught us the emergency STOP which we are now using very successfully when she dashes off to greet a cyclist. She, & we are much more chilled around other dogs. Success!”
