I would highly recommend Passion for Pets if you are looking to do something fun with your dog that works their brain and provides a great opportunity to grow as a team. Rachael is highly experienced and patient, giving each dog the attention they need in an individualised way. Rachael has experience with a wide range of breeds and is very knowledgeable on how to get the best out of your dogs in a fun way. Even my stubborn little Frenchie is doing great under Rachael's tuition. It's a fun and friendly group of people who want to learn something new with their dog, build that bond, and keep the dog busy. We have been attending Rachel's classes for over 18 months now and I honestly cannot fault it. I've seen improvement in my dogs general behaviour around recall and her ability to listen with distractions, as well as learning lots of Hoopers skills that we are putting into practice. Definitely our favourite day of the week. Thanks Rachael for all you do!

We've been training hoopers with Rachael for a year with our adolescent border collie, Bonnie. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone looking to build a stronger bond with their dog and work on focus around distractions while having fun. Bonnie has gone from being being over aroused in a class setting, to being able to settle relatively quickly. Most of the time anyway. Rachael herself is super knowledgeable, frequently attends training courses and is attentive to each dogs feelings and needs. The classes have a lovely atmosphere, they seem to attract wonderfully supportive people who are passionate about their dogs. We're hoopers obsessed - highlight of our week!

We couldn’t be happier with the classes that Rachael provides. Rachael came highly recommended to me by a friend and I started attending her “Tricks and Hoopers” and “IMDT” classes. My dog Dillon, was 6 at the time we started is thriving and within 9 months he has already achieved his Level 1 and 2 trick awards, Level 1,2,3 and 4 IMDT skills and his Bronze and Silver Hoopers awards! The certificates and rosettes are a lovely bonus! However, even after we work through all the grades on offer, we will continue to train regularly with Passion For Pets. Rachael as a trainer is professional, super knowledgeable, she is always super patient, but most importantly her training is kind, (R+) and is made fun. I’ve seen Rachael think outside the box with dogs struggling to understand what is being asked of them and Rachael is quick to suggest alternative methods to help them achieve. Every one of Rachael’s classes is organised, planned and worth every single penny. Training your dog is an important investment but Rachaels classes make it easy to become a hobby, helping build bonds between owner and dog. Book now - you won’t be disappointed!

I was originally a little apprehensive of having someone come into the house when we aren't there and trusting someone with our pup but heard amazing things about passion for pets from others. Needless to say there is no trace of apprehension left, the girls are extremely trustworthy and I have always had an amazing experience with them. Beth and Rachael are an amazing team, we have seen such a change in our pup since having dog walks, he absolutely loves the girls and think he's even happier to see them than us lol! I would highly recommend training sessions with Rachael as we originally struggled with engagement and lose lead walking but he is amazing at it now. Very professional sisters whom even take into account the heat when considering if it's safe to take the dogs for walks. Couldn't be more thankful to the girls! Would highly recommend! If youre considering dog walking, training or home stays deffo choose Rachael and Beth!
