Bark to Basics Dog Training and Behaviour

Excellent service from Nia, who was highly skilled and imparted her knowledge liberally. Has helped us as owners understand where we might have been going wrong in training our puppy, and approached the root cause professionally and with no judgement. Her follow up written review and phone call check up ensured we were keeping on top of things. Would highly recommend her services to all dog owners who could use support.

I found Laura by recommendation. I am very glad I did. My dog has been attacked and bitten on a good few occasions, he was also the runt of the litter and a highly strung breed. I tried all the training videos and groups for reactivity but my boy was not responding. In 2 hours with Laura, he was like a different Beddy, calmer and engaged with her and then me. Looking forward to continuing the training. Recommend.

Would definitely recommend Nia - she's a great behaviourist and trainer with so much knowledge and adapts to suit the needs of each dog.

Nia was absolutely amazing with our German Shepard puppy. He was destructive full of energy and very hard to tame. Within 15 mins she had him walking to a heal listening to every command and watching her like a hawk. She gave us the techniques and skills to train our pup and use up his energy. We were absolutely amazed by the progress even in the first week. Would highly recommend to anyone having trouble training their own dog!

Nia is a great instructor who taught the basics of what I needed for my puppy. The classes are very thorough without being too much. There aren't too many people in them so the sessions are very controlled. Nia and Sarah are both watching in the classes and step in when you need further support. Nia explains everything in a very relatable way, and also provides content after each of the session so you can refer back when training your dog. I could not recommend enough :)
