SpiritedDog

We have used Lauren and the team for puppy training, scent training and off-lead / recall training. They are always helpful, informative and knowledgeable. The classes are fun for both the dogs and owners. Would definitely recommend.

Have just got back from a 1-1 session and it was absolutely fantastic. Heather was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the session was jam-packed with advice personalised to me and my pup, everything explained really clearly and hit exactly the things we needed to work on. Thank you so much spirited dog.

Lauren's reactivity training was great! A clear routine was established in the field (with the use of her own dogs) before we tested it out in a busy dog-walking area. My dog was a star and managed to walk around and see other unfamiliar dogs for an hour without any barking. Thank you!

If youre looking for a brilliant trainer look no further than Lauren. She is such a fantastic, positive, confident and knowledgeable trainer who really cares about the outcome of the dogs she teaches. Shes so thorough and with each lesson you can see every dog in the class progress further and further. Shes a blessing to the Kent area!!!

Myself and my partner have attended both puppy classes and the Gun dog beginners classes that Lauren and her team offer and loved both of them. The puppy classes helped us form a good foundation of training with our puppy Winnie with commands like 'place' and 'leave' that have meant having guests in our house and leaving food in her close proximity are no longer a problem (although overly affectionate, she is a very well mannered dog and I believe that comes down to her early training with Spirited dog). We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the group training and it was lovely to not feel judged or critiqued when your dog didn't pick up the training as quickly as others. Everyone was able to learn at their own pace and it was a really friendly group to be a part of. We also attended the Gun dog beginners classes as we have a working Labrador Retriever and although we do not hunt or take Winnie on any shoots we have found the retrieval games amazing when we have her off lead on a walk to help tire her mind as well as her legs! I would also like to mention that it was lovely seeing breeds other than classic 'gun dogs' in the group, the trainers at Spirited dog were welcoming to any owner and dog that wanted to participate. Although we have only attended group training sessions I will always go back to Spirited dog if we ever have any worries about Winnie's training or behaviour as she matures, I have found the whole team very approachable and their training and overall ethos fully supports that relationship I hope to maintain with my dog.
