I’ve been agility training with Kate for years. Excellent fun, has really developed Holly’s stamina and coordination (and also helped with my brain fog!). She’s a 12 year old Border Terrier and still very fit and active, thanks to agility. Would definitely recommend Canine Hub :-)

I enrolled my 5 year old golden retriever on the "LOOSE LEAD WALKING" workshop with Laura and it was EXCELLENT. Laura gave us helpful tips on how to stop him pulling by distracting him (cheese cubes work every time) and getting him back in the correct position. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and we will go back again because it's good for us both. The Canine Hub is a wonderful local training venue which we are very lucky to have. Kate, Laura and Phil are all very knowledgeable and helpful, without making you feel stupid if you didn't "get" something on the first attempt. Thanks everyone and see you again soon.

Great place to start your puppy off in the right way. Lots of support for the humans, force free training for the dogs, clear & easy to follow instruction. You also get access to the socialisation sessions, Facebook page & some free videos. Reg & I learnt a lot & I’ve already booked us in for more. Highly recommend.

For the past three years, since Ellie was a puppy, I have been attending various training classes at Canine Hub. I have found Kate and her team so welcoming, professional and supportive in helping me to develop Ellie into a wonderful dog. (That’s not to say she can still be a bit naughty! ) My skills in handling her have been greatly improved which would not have been possible without their support and valuable advice. It’s also great fun and we love going to agility and now scenting. I highly recommend them!!!
