" I can highly recommend Dale Foley. My dog bella used to be bad for chasing cows, horses and other dogs - Dale came out with us and we worked on her recall and after a hour, her recall was heaps better and I was far more confidant - I now have a dog who will come away about 95 % of the time and who has almost stopped chasing everthing in sight - not bad going for a stray Lurcher!" - Helen with Bella - Lurcher

"Recall is my most precious and hard work command I use to let my husky off the lead everyday.  The only reason I can do that is by using my recall commands which have been given to me by doing your classes.  Definately recommend any husky or mally owner to do it and you need to be trained as much as the dog too x" - Bobbie with Cody - Siberian Husky.

"Hi Jenny, Dale really gave me help in the lead training class and Charlie has responded in just 1 day so I actually enjoyed our walk this evening instead of coming home wound up with an aching shoulder!  ~Thank you. " - Verity and Charlie (Jackadoodle)

"Fab training session tonight Jenny, Dale and team - thanks!!! Greta was very proud of herself :-)" - Charlotte with Greta - Mini Schnauzer

"Jenny, thank you so much for Emily-Jane's rosette, she is thrilled with it and it has pride of place in her bedroom!" - Liz with Rosie - Rhodesian Ridgeback.

"Thanks so much for our rosette Jenny - I still can't believe we were best off-lead as there was some brilliant work going on!!! Elsa says thank you too :-)" Charlotte with Elsa - Mini Schnauzer.

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your advice regarding settling our rescue lad into our home. The tips and advice given by yourself, Dale Foley and George Lees-Smith have been very helpful and made it much easier, not just for us but also bella and mooky. And for showing me in class you can teach an old dog new tricks :-) Sarah and Beagle mooky xx"

"Hi Jenny thanks so much for todays lead training, Me and Norm really enjoyed it. You have given me the tools, now I can put it into Practice when we go on walks. Thanks again." - Karen with Norman - Newfoundland

"Thank you to Jenny and George for an action packed and challenging Nosework lesson. Clearly this had involved a great deal of preparation and planning. Great opportunity to learn, good company and stimulating for the dogs." - Janice with Max - GSP

"Thank you Jenny for everything,
This is such an improvement in so little time I'm so happy with what you've done for us it's amazing!
Thank you so much you're a star :)" - Gareth with Shadow, deaf Great Dane (Residential Training)

"Really useful tips - we had a silent walk this afternoon and kept changing direction, by the end Rosie was glued to our sides and even ignored 2 other dogs!!! Thank you Jenny :))" - Liz with Rosie - Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy.

"We really enjoyed these classes and learnt a lot:). Cookie has improved so much. Jenny has given me the foundations to continue her taining. Thank you so much Jenny x" - Karie with Cookie - Border Collie

"Thanks for a great Lead Pulling Workshop on Sunday - Ruddles and I really enjoyed it! We have been practising and she is really getting the hang of it now - its wonderful not having my arm yanked out of its socket every time we go out!" - Miranda with Ruddles (Labrador)

"The girls were on the common today in a sit/wait and even though there were other dogs, kids etc I could walk right around them, get them to wait and then release as I threw the ball. I was really chuffed with them. Sitting and waiting even distracted Greta so much that she ignored a rather non dog-savvy child who poked her with a stick!!!!" Charlotte with Elsa and Greta (Mini Schnauzers).

"A huge thank you to Jenny and team, Maddie and I have learnt so much over the last 6 weeks, had fun too! xx :-)" Julie Grist with Maddie - Labrador.

"Ahh thankyou. We both love going to training with you, myself and bailey have learnt so much from you in the last year and just can t give it up. Bailey and myself have such a good bond together and i think the classes have helped with that. So thankyou. :-) xx" - Nadine with Bailey - Cocker Spaniel

"Charlie has repeated every new command this evening, happily :)  You are one kick ass dog trainer and even the young parents respect you! Thank you!" - Faiza with Charlie - Korean Jindo

"Would just like to say thank you to yourself and the team that helped at the begginers class we recently attended and completed at parkbarn community centre; both marley and myself have enjoyed and learnt alot from it and has been very beneficial" - Neil with Marley (Labrador)

"We take part in the Life Skills recall classes regularly and have achieved an almost perfect "beagle recall" with Jenny and Dale's help. infact it has its own pride of place on Adolescent Dogs website :)

This class I have found the most important to us as beagle owners. Jenny also once again showed us how to work on a perfect recall ...with Bella tailoring the lesson for her as an individual dog and using different techniques.

We now use these techniques and tips on every walk, and so far they have had a 100% recall rate, including from playing with other dogs.

Getting a beagle to recall back to us from a very interesting scent speaks volumes for Jenny's classes and training methods and she comes very highly recommended by us both."  Sarah keith and Bella beagle. xx

"I have 3 little words to say to Jenny and Dale , Thankyou , Thank you and Thankyou ! If you had not taught me and Bella how to do the emergancy stop , Bella would not be with me ! Last night she got over excited when she saw one of her friends over the road , she went running towards them and could of been hit by some one doing 50 down mph down my road ! i shouted wait and gave her the hand signal and she stopped in her tracks and then just laid down ! So once again Thanks for saving her life ." Helen and Bella x (Lurcher)

"Just wanted to say that me and Bella have just had a really great walk and put into practice everything we learnt on the Life Skills Recall Class and she came every single time called away. :) I didn't even need to turn and run as she came running before I could finish saying here!! Thank you so much for all yours and Dales advice and for making training fun x" - Sarah with Bella - Beagle

"Holly and I really enjoyed Beginners and are looking forward to Improvers and the new skills we will learn. Holly surprised me by not being as noisy as I thought she'd be in class! I wish there was more time in my schedule so that I could do the Scent class - think Holly would enjoy that being the busy bee that she is! Glad summer is coming so that we can come to the evening social walks and Life skills class :D - Laura with Holly - Staffie x"

Great course, really good fun, and informative. I liked the way it was tailored to individual dogs, and wasn't a one size fits all - particularly helpful when asking a 5 year old newf to do new skills! Thank you Jenny" - Cheryl with Tilly - Newfoundland

"Thanks to Jenny we're much happier and confident people with our big pup. We started at puppy classes and since then Jenny has been essential to helping us with Sully's training. Sully grew up fast and soon became a real handful in so many different aspects, it was hard to maintain control of him and at the same time make sure we weren't making things worse. With Jenny's help within a few months already he's much improved, and we are so much more relaxed. She has taught us exactly how to handle situations that would arise, and how to understand and read our dog before we got ourselves all tangled up in a Sully situation. There was always a reason behind everything that was happening with Sully and Jenny has been spot on about all of the problems. We're now having much more fun with our big pup and we're able to enjoy all the silly cute things he does much much more as well as all the fun training at all the classes! He's still only 10 months and we still have a while to go but there is light at the end of this tunnel, and we are starting to see the really good dog that Sully can be! It's really impressive to watch Jenny with Sully and the other dogs, she really does have a natural ability which we could all learn from! I would HIGHLY recommend adolescent dogs to anyone! Thank you immensely Jenny!" - Phil & Laila with Sully (Golden Retriever)

"Buddy and Poppy are thriving and are a constant joy to us. The training is ongoing with Buddy really getting the hang of things much quicker than Poppy. The training really paid off the other day when the odd job man left the front door open and they ran out. We called out WAIT! and they both did exactly that. Phew!" - Helen with Poppy and Buddy - Sheepdogs.

"I always enjoy your training classes and look forward to them. Find Maddie hard work at them sometimes, I need to work on keeping her attention!!! but we too have learnt so much from you. :-) Thank you X" - Julie with Maddie, Labrador.

"We had a great time at the scent course and will continue to lay trails/ hide from her when out walking as she just loves it so much. She is improving, albeit slowly, and I think that is down to the constant work of the different courses we've done over the last few months. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you. I have just got to get her pulling less and try and overcome her stubborness!" - Karen Moses with Pippa (Clumber Spaniel) (Residential Training)

"Tough course (Improvers) which made T.J and I work very hard and in doing so I saw him growing in confidence and enjoying his special time with me away from his two brothers. He is a smart little boy and learns quick in the park but I appreciate your patience in his stage shy problems in the hall. He has a good circle of friends at the park so he is quite the socialite, however the hall situation bought out the naughty side. He loves to learn and I will keep everything improving." Sandra Everist with TJ (JRT)

"The Beginners Course was excellent! We started off with such an over excited 6 month old staff, and now she is fabulous to live with. She has come on so much thanks to Jenny (and Anna and Glen on the dog walks!) The small class sizes and lots of one to one attention really worked, so much so that we even managed to pass with Distinction! Thanks you!" Ellie and Dan with Red (Staffie)

"Hmmm... its difficult to know where to start...We found adolescent dogs through a web search over a year ago. Since then we have trained both of our dogs through them Although we were taught all the lessons with our first dog we enjoyed it so much we took our second. A MASSIVE thanks to Jenny and Anna for helping us to have two fantastic (Not mad!!) Springers. Your guidance and support has enabled us to really enjoy our dogs hence the fact we have two now! We look forward to any further courses in the future. thank you"
(Emma & Drew with Poppy & Jaspa - Springer Spaniels)

"This class is fantastic!! (Mixed Ability Class) Mollie has already completed the beginners and improvers classes and in an enclosed environment does very well. HOWEVER being an excitable easily distracted Staffie, I have found it difficult to transfer her training into 'real life' situations outside. Working with other dogs in the Mixed Ability class in the 'real world' with support and advice from Jenny is an invaluable transition from indoor to outdoor. It was also great to be able to do training then go on the social walk afterwards, giving Mollie a playtime reward after the training class."
(Jane Martin with Mollie - Staffie)"

"Dear Aunty Jenny & Anna! Mummy said I could use the computer to say thankyou for making me a good boy! I came to the beginners class and the recall class. Not only did I learn how to be a good boy very quickly, I got cheese too! Mummy said that she was surprised and delighted with how you explained everything so easily and how quickly I learnt. She said we got out of it what we put in and although Ive been hard work (I doubt it!) all the lessons and homework were really good fun!.I sometimes come and see you on a Sunday at the walking group.Mummy and daddy tell me about all the valuable tips you show them on how to keep me the apple of their eye! Woof woof lick lick! Bertie x" (Diane with Bertie - Labrador x Dalmation)

"I just wanted to say thank you for helping my dog gain confidence with other dogs and also listen to me a lot more. He's still my little baby no matter what you say!!! :)" Claire Chitty with Toby (Miniature Schnauzer)

"Josh and I would like to thank you and everyone else at Adolescent Dogs for helping us train Monty. We are really looking forward to working with you all again in the future classes." Josh and Renee with Monty (Cocker Spaniel)

"I just wanted to say how BRILLIANT its been getting me and Dave off to a great start. Clicker training is just fantastic and Dave and I both love an excuse for a quick 5 min 'session' when we're out walking or in the house or garden. It seems to be such a quick positive easy way to communicate with your dog and it's obvious he's loving learning and getting lots from it all too. He adores getting it right and his face just lights up when he's cracked a new command! You've made everything really clear and simple for us and I can't believe how much has been possible, in such a short space of time, with a young pup." Owner of Dave (Cocker Spaniel)

"Good basic principles covered in a nice atmosphere and a small group, meaning that one to one "coaching" was there. Some great owner training principles as well as dog handling aspects also covered. Lottie's doing well and mastering the basics - many thanks." (Fiona Bride with Lottie - Labrador)

"The beginners class provides an excellent grounding for all dogs. Jenny and Anna teach kind techniques which encourage respect and harmony between dog and owner, giving optimum results. Small class sizes which ensure individual attention as required are great value for money. Plus, you get excellent customer service, as Jenny is always happy to help by phone or email if you have any concerns between classes. Both Mollie and I thoroughly enjoyed the beginners course and love the walking group. We will definatley be doing more! I would highly recommend Adolescent Dogs to anyone (& frequently do)." (Jane Martin with Mollie -Staffie)

"I had a very naughty little staffie about 6 weeks ago. Biting, barking being a right little you know. I attended the beginners course and was so impressed with the professionalism and help I recieved I now have a staffie that does what he is told! A very big thankyou to Jenny and Anna." (Andy Watson with Bailey - Staffordshire Bull Terrier)"

"Thanks for a lovely lesson and class today ! Bella slept for 3 hours this afternoon and only woke up cos the was sausages in the offing" - Helen with Bella - Lurcher.

"Thanks so much to you all for the recall class. Your help,patience and understanding is much appreciated. Thanks too for the extra support and advice.You have given us the confidence to put all your training into practice. Scooby enjoyed the sessions and we look forward to joining you on the walks in the future." Teresa Searson with Scooby - Staffie

"I like the way you use positives and never put people down. You empower the adults you train. (Owner of Cookie - Lurcher)"

"The beginners course was fantastic and Stanley can now do all the things we learnt and we would love to continue to the next level. Many thanks for all your help, he's a very good boy now! kind regards Cathy" (Cathy Baileff with Stanley - Dachshund)

"We joined up to the improvers classes and we are very pleased to say we graduated at the end of the course. Jenny made each lesson fun, she made sure each component of what we were learning was explained on both our level and from the dogs ...perspective making it easier for us to understand exactly what and why we were asking our dogs to do. The progress Bella has made is being noticed by friends and family, and we have become much more confident as dog owners. We also take part in the social walks afterwards and this socialization has proved invaluable as we never encounter dogs on our walks and so Bella had begun to become over excited on meeting dogs. This has now been almost cured within a few walks with Jenny and the gang. Jenny and the other trainers have been a huge support to us and we come away from each class feeling we have achieved so much and the time and commitment put in by the trainers is fantastic. The best dog training in Surrey without a doubt. " Sarah with Bella Beagle

"Bella is your typical beagle, Incredibly bright but also stubborn. Taking part in Jennys classes has helped us enormously to focus Bella's attention and has also given us the confidence in our abilites. Jenny explains everything so well and gives you an insight into a dogs mind which is a very useful tool. Bella thoroughly enjoyed the classes and social walks are a must for all new dog owners. I only wish I had joined in with them sooner. Thank you so much Jenny. - Sarah with Bella - Beagle"
