Ruth is very skilled and we would highly recommend. Ruth came for one session with our very young puppy and we were amazed just how quickly the puppy grasped the commands. We have carried on with the training and have a very obedient young puppy. Well spent money and wouldn't go anywhere else.

We have a Rumanian rescue dog who has settled in brilliantly except she has absolutely refused to have a lead on and therefore we could not go out for a walk.
We sourced someone to help and Ruth came to the rescue. Within an hour Ruth had her walking, and now(48 hrs on) she walks and walks.
Thanks Ruth, you were fantastic, and would recommend her highly

The session was excellent. I have a new, loving and obedient dog that requires no stress, shouting and chasing by us. You stopped all the bad behaviour straight away and left us with all the tools we need to start her on a life of success. Thanks so much.

Ruth came to help train me to train my dog for reacting to other dogs!! She was marvellous - could make my chihuahua do anything- we did loads of exercises with him and he was totally responsive to their training methods!! I would highly recommend this dog school

Ruth was amazing. We only had 1 session and the value I got from the time spent with her was unbelievable. Wasn’t instant has home work to do with our dog Buddy putting into practice the techniques Ruth recommended.

Buddy is now off the lead most of the time and is recall is amazing even when seeing other dogs which was our real big issue.

T H A N K Y O U ! ????

This 1-2-1 session was really helpful, Ruth knew exactly what she was talking about and proved it with the respond from our dog! We decided to get Ruth in to help with our 12 month old Cocker Spaniel who has always pulled on the lead and extremely food focused, within the first 5 minutes we honestly could not believe the change in Oscar and how quickly he was responding to her training! We really felt at ease with the training steps and we are definitely seeing results from the practice and tips Ruth taught us. Very happy with the results so far!

Excellent session. I am an experienced dog owner but still found this of value! Ruth is lovely. Very calm and authoritative with training and listens carefully to any concerns around the puppy! Great service and highly recommend ??

Ruth was absolutely fantastic! We decided to look into getting some training sessions for Ollie, our 7month old Golden Irish puppy to work on jumping up, walking on the lead and recall.

We were a bit apprehensive as we were worried we would be made to feel like we had been training him wrong however it was the complete opposite. Ruth was lovely, calm and very professional. She really put us at ease and went through each training step in a way that was easy to follow and was very patient when we were practicing. She uses a correction and reward technique that really works!

The session was very personal and we all (including Ollie) really enjoyed it. We have been practicing all that Ruth taught us and it is working really well.

Thank you Ruth, love Paula, James and Ollie x

Amazing. Ruth is so lovely and so knowledgeable. Within a few minutes of our puppy training session our puppy was responding to her behaviour training. The session was so informative and she worked with the whole family. We were left feeling confident and happy that we knew how to proceed and were given so much useful information both during our session and helpful videos to watch after. Our puppy clearly felt really at ease with Ruth straight away and we can’t thank her enough.
We will definitely be recommending York Dog School to all of our dog owning friends.

We had a 1:1 puppy/obedience session this morning with Ruth and it was more than we could have hoped for. We worked on so many skills including heel and avoiding distractions. It really built our confidence and we can see it working already with our pup! I would thoroughly recommend the dog school, it was effective, personalised and they follow up after the initial consultation so that you feel fully supported. Give it a go, you and your dog will be glad you did.

Ruth was very calm and understanding from the start and was quietly confident in her approach. Our 8 month border collie was having real problems with lunging at traffic. However, with the right tools, she quickly showed us how his behaviour could be instantly improved. He was a different dog by the end of the session and we were very impressed and super happy how more relaxed our dog was. She sent helpful additional information which was greatly appreciated.
I would highly recommend Ruth if you are having any problems with your dog.
A trusted and capable trainer.

Our dog is a re-home and while quite well behaved didn't walk to heel and did not come when called. In just one session, he grasped both concepts. Ruth has been fantastic, very friendly and very skilled. In that session she helped us develop our own commands and everything we needed to be able to carry on, on our own.

Ruth arrived at our house yesterday and immediately put us at ease that she knew how to help us with our rescue dog, she is calm and patient and really clear in teaching us how to correct our digs behaviour. No fuss no shock treatment just responsive and responsible dog training. On the walk she showed us how to correct bad behaviour and our dogs barking and lunging towards other dogs has completely stopped! He seems more relaxed at home too which is brilliant. We can’t thank you enough!! Leah and Rob
