Develop Your Dog Bewertungen 

I have been training with Develop Your Dog since my Labrador was about 6 months old and together we have progressed from puppy school to working towards our grade 3working gun dog certificate.
The classes are never more than 6 dogs at a session and each class is thoughtfully planned, well structured and fun for both handler and dog.
Jill is open and friendly and is always open to answering any questions any of us might have.
I would highly recommend Jill and Develop Your Dog

I have trained all my current dogs with Jill. I started working with her twelve years ago. Jill’s programme of progress is well thought out yet has time to go “off piste” should there be a need or if someone in the class asks for help in a certain area.
She has shown herself to be cool and calm in difficult situations as well as in every minute of the training class. We learn so much more in the classes than the actual training. Jill is a caring and calm trainer whose main aim is the welfare of the dog in every sense.
She trains her humans well.

Jill is the most fantastic teacher and really helped us with our young springer spaniel from the very early stages. The lessons were fun and enjoyable and it was so fulfilling to watch our dog develop. The interactive videos that Jill sent us after each session to consolidate the training were really helpful.Jill is a wonderful trainer and we were delighted to be introduced to her. We could not recommend her highly enough. Phil and Tina.

Jill has really good training exercises for dogs that encourage your dog to engage with you and enjoy the trining experience. Jill explains clearly to owners how to carry out each exercise and works at a pace suitable for both dog and owner!

A fantastic gundog trainer who has worked wonders.

My flatcoatted retriever was a massive handful when we started gundog training with Jill. I wondered if he would ever be more than the nutty, goofy clown. Jill was kind, supportive and very clear on her instructions and training. My pup has quite literally transformed before our eyes!

Still goofy (and we love that) but being properly trained to do the job that he was bread for has improved his temperament and attitude no end.

All this after only six sessions and lots of practicing in between. I must say that I’m glad that the sessions are two weeks apart so that I had plenty of time to practice sufficiently with my pup and make real progress without feeling overwhelmed by more sessions looming large on the horizon. A perfect balance of clear instruction and time to put it into practice.

I recently took my young dog Ronnie to Jill’s gundog classes and was really impressed.

From the very first session, Jill’s calm, confident approach put both of us at ease. She has a fantastic way of breaking down each skill so that it’s easy to understand and even easier for the dogs to follow.

Ronnie made noticeable progress every week—his recall, steadiness, and general focus really improved. Jill tailored her guidance to suit his personality, keeping him motivated while maintaining a high standard of control and consistency.

What really stood out was Jill’s ability to create a supportive, positive environment. She’s encouraging, incredibly knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help each handler-and-dog team succeed.

I would highly recommend Jill’s gundog classes to anyone looking to build a solid foundation with their dog. Ronnie and I are already looking forward to the next course!
