Quotes From Recent Reviews:
Oct 24 - Google Business - CC - "Wow - the best advice in doggy kingdom
Wow! K9Dreamers are the best. They came over to help us with our 9-month old Saluki. We were so impressed with the expert advice we were given, which was professionally shared. The level of detail given was incredible - and we now have a dog who is much better behaved and a pleasure to be around. We almost gave up on her - but thanks to K9, our lives have been changed!"

May24 - Trustpilot - SP - Jill was fantastic from the moment she stepped in our house. She calmed our very anxious reactive dog. Her knowledge and understand of our dog Franks issues was amazing and we are putting in her techniques. It is very early days but it seems to be having a positive effect. It has filled us with confidence that we can do the best for Frank and allow him to live his best life.

November 23 - TrustPilot + Google Business - JL- Thank you Jill for such a helpful and informative one to one session for our new puppy Murphy. I really didn’t know where to start with training him and you went above and beyond providing that knowledge for me! You give such thorough material and clearly really know your stuff! I feel much more prepared to provide Murphy with everything he needs to hopefully grow into a calm and well behaved adult dog.

Sept 23 - AmberM - Pre University Shadowing - Recently I’ve attended both classes and 1:1 with Jill shadowing for experience with canines ahead of my Masters Degree. Jill is lovely and welcoming with plenty of knowledge and experience to help everyone from puppies to advanced dogs. She had a kind approach especially to those who are new to classes. I have learnt a lot in the recent weeks and have enjoyed seeing all dogs progress

Aug 23 - TrustPilot -SW - Understanding a nervous dog - Jill has a wealth of knowledge/understanding of dog behaviour and a desire to help dog owners improve/deepen their bond with their dog as well as aid the integration of the dog into social settings. My dog is a nervous dog around other dogs and Jill gave a lot of advice as to how to manage that and help my dog in her interaction with other dogs.

June 23 - TrustPilot - AM-Mc - Jill was recommended to me from a Dog Training group. When I was studying my Animal Assisted Intervention course, I shadowed Jill's Dog training classes to compliment the course work that I was learning, she also provided me with further training info. Jill's patience and genuine care for the dogs was apparent and has a vast amount of knowledge and is always keen to continue her learning to keep updated. On a personal note, Jill has always made herself available for advice and has recently provided me with a New Puppy info pack supported with a 1:1 chat. This was great, loads of info and plenty of chance to ask questions, helping me feel more confident & prepared for my new pups arrival. Thank you... Exciting days ahead! x

June 23 - GoogleBusiness- F+D- Our very bouncy young pup seemed to ignore all our attempts to train him until we met Jill. Her confidence and knowledge of dog training not only impressed us but had a marked and immediate effect on our pup . Many thanks to you Jill !

April 2023 - Mrs M - TrustPilot - I thoroughly recommend Jill to anyone thinking about buying a puppy or has just bought a new dog. We bought our puppy two months ago - Feb 2023. He is our first dog and we had no idea about training or how to keep a puppy happy, safe and stimulated. Jill came to our house before our pup could start official training classes. We learnt so much in the initial 1:1 session. Even though discovering how to introduce new skills such as "sit" to an 8 week old puppy was amazing I found Jill's advice about what to expect and what was "normal puppy behaviour" the most reassuring. We are now in the middle of Jill's puppy training classes and I have really appreciated Jill's regular advice. Every week we are taught something new and I can raise any concerns or questions during the puppy classes. Every week I go home confident that we are on track to raise a great family dog. We have a very content puppy and, reassured confident owner thanks to Jill. Classes are worth every penny!

April 2023 - SC - Google + TrustPilot - Jill has been amazing in helping us train our puppy, Nell. She is patient, knowledgeable and friendly and we really look forward to attending our weekly group with her. Jill has made the whole experience of having a puppy for the first time a lot less daunting for us and for that we are incredibly grateful.

Feb 2023 - NF- TrustPilot+ Google Business - My Labrador (Hugo) and I love going along to the K9dreamers classes. Jill makes the sessions practical, engaging, educational and informative. Despite Hugo being a playful puppy, he has really progressed since attending the classes and it has helped give me and him discipline and structure towards his development. Jill’s classes have been a fantastic contribution over the last few months and I would highly recommend them.

Jan 2023 - JG – TrustPilot - Jill really knows her stuff. Invaluable knowledge for a first time puppy owner, lots of handouts given and get a Kennel Club Certificate if you pass the assessment.

Jan 2023 - DB - Google Business - Lyra and I are working with Jill right now. Our 121 session was full of wonderful advice, guidance and an abundance of exercises, all written down, for us to work on together to ensure we achieve my aim: to have a well behaved, calm and happy dog. I would happily recommend Jill as she has so much personal experience and knowledge gained over a period of time, and as a behaviourist she is able to give you insight into why your dog is behaving as she is, and then provides the how, for you to adjust, should you need to.
AND ALSO - DB - TrustPilot - Outstanding trainer and dog behaviourist - Lyra, my 6 month old puppy and I have been working with Jill over the last couple of weeks. Her calm and methodical approach to training makes it so much easier, and all training notes are provided in order that you can remember what you've been taught in class. It also helps you to embed the learning outside both the class and home, with the copious notes which come with the class. Jill also provided an invaluable 121 spending time with Lyra in our home. Observing at first hand her behaviour and where she needed more help. More importantly where I need more help as I'm fully aware its me being trained, rather than the dog. I would heartily recommend to Jill with any dog with or without behavioural issues who is looking for a kind and knowledgeable trainer __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dec 22 - RS - Jill is such a lovely person, trainer and behaviourist. I can’t believe how far my springer has come within a year! I would be lost if I didn’t have the help from Jill. I could see how much he has matured during each class. Not only did I enjoy the classes but my dog did too and we have learnt some new tricks and games. Highly recommend! Thank you Jill for all your help and support!

Dec 22 - TC- Jill has given us amazing advice and helped us understand our lovely border collie. She has given us confidence to help us enjoy our beautiful but complex dog _________________________________________________________________________________________
Nov 22 - KS - Jill is an excellent dog trainer and behaviourist. She uses positive methods only and is a pleasure to work with. Both her small class sizes and at home one to ones have made being a dog owner easier
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Oct 22 - I couldn't recommend Jill enough, she's been so kind and helpful in getting us started with our puppy. The 1:1 session we had with her was so beneficial, it really helped us work out what we needed to focus on and gave us some really good tips on getting started. So far we have attended 1 of the puppy classes as well, and we are really excited to continue working with her! If you're in the market for puppy classes or someone to help you with your dog, K9dreamers is the place to go!

Sept 22 - JW - Jill came to our house to help us understand our new puppy and how to interact with her in a way that benefits us and our pup. The information and tips given completely transformed our puppy and how we now go about playing with her. The contact from start to finish and the information, knowledge supplied was absolutely brilliant throughout
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Aug 22 - LK - Jill has been an absolute lifeline for us - our Pointer/Labrador Alfie is now nearly 11 months old and we've been going to her training classes since he was 4.5 months old. Her advice is always spot on, and she's so encouraging - even when we're having a tough week, she's supportive and has a wise word. Even if it's just to remind me that "he's only young, he'll get it!" Her leaflet on disengagement has become our Bible - thanks so much for all your help so far, Jill!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aug 22 - MC - Jill was approachable and reassuring that our 6month old puppy’s behaviour and barking were normal and understandable She gave us lots of practical guides and information before her visit and afterwards. I felt much more confident after her visit that I was doing the right things.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
July 22 - B+D - Highly recommended! We had a really great experience with Jill. She was incredibly generous with her resources and experience and we have greatly benefitted from her specialist knowledge of collies. She explained everything really thoroughly and gave her time outside of our session to help. She clearly loves and understands dogs and would definitely recommend her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
June 22 - DL - We are older owners who have had dogs before but never a puppy and wow, are puppies different! We started with a 1 to 1 and then progressed to puppy classes. Jill is always patient and, while she uses the kennel club plan as a foundation and for assessing progress, is always able to modify her training to suit the individual puppy (ours is a smart, determined, often naughty, very special male Cairn terrier). She also provides written information in case tips are forgotten. Classes are small with puppies who seem to be compatible. She is very good at responding to e-mails too and making the classes relevant to the dog's and the owners learning curve. Couldn't recommend her more. 100% yes.

May 22 - LT - Jill is a fantastic trainer! I have a background in animal behaviour, so I spent a really long time researching which trainer I would like to take my puppy to as I can do a lot of training myself, but I think it is important to have outside input as it gives you a different perspective (Particularly when you think the puppy is not doing what you think it should!) This is where Jill excels as she is extremely knowledgeable about dog training but also has a growth mindset so she is always learning more from different trainers so she can bring the best knowledge to class. We've had some fascinating conversations about dog training and my puppy loves her classes and Jill. I cannot recommend Jill highly enough - whether you are a dog training nerd like me or just want a happy well-behaved puppy!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
April 22 - NA - Fantastic positive reinforcement training classes for our pup and the initial session at home with Jill was invaluable for helping us understand so much about dog behaviour and training, and how to make sure we have a happy dog! Loads of amazing resources too to look back on, would absolutely recommend Jill for 1-1 or classes for any pup!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
March 22 - LT - From the very beginning Jill was patient, understanding, kind, non-judgemental and encouraging with us as new dog owners. She went above and beyond to reply to our emails quickly and with a wealth of much-needed detail and information. it is clear to see she loves what she does, is very knowledgeable and for me she also has that additional, rare quality of truly listening without critique. The world can become a very isolating and difficult place (for owner and dog!) when you have a reactive and anxious dog. I cannot describe the relief I felt upon receiving Jill's reassuring and encouraging advice. Jill visited our house and explained her Trinity of Training - I never knew how important these elements were and now I live by them! She also shared with us some really, really helpful resources I would highly encourage any dog owner to investigate! Can't recommend Jill enough and we can't wait to be in a place where we can attend her dog training classes in the future.

Feb 22 - AS - We found Jill online after googling ‘Positive Puppy Training’, there’s so much out there but Jill gave us a focused mission and reassurance, amazing preparation documents kindly posted through, a book to help us and she really taught us so much when she came! She even taught him ‘sit’ and ‘wait’ in the first session! Everything she’s told us has worked, he does business outside, sleeps through the night, let’s us leave the room and most importantly is happy, settled and calm and we’ve only had him a week! Thank you Jill. We really trusted you because you had such a positive and kind attitude and we are so, so grateful! We have a calm, obedient and happy pup!!!

Jan 22 - EW - Jill from K9 Dreamers is absolutely amazing! I'd never had a dog (let alone a puppy) before - but Jill has been brilliant so far. I definitely recommend the pre-puppy 1:1 sessions - they have been worth their weight in gold and have highlighted SO many things that I hadn't even considered before the arrival of pup! Monty and I are very much looking forward to joining the puppy training classes in a couple of weeks and showing off our 'sit', 'down' and 'turn'!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jan 22 - CT- I found Jill at K9dreamers very helpful and patient with my head strong terrier puppy, Zack. Jill's classes are small so that dogs don't get too excitable. Every owner then has a chance to put their dog through their training. Jill is also on hand via phone or email if you have any concerns with your pet. I would highly recommend these classes for dog owners with new puppies, dogs with issues or rescue dogs.

Jan 22 - LT + GM - We have been part of the K9 Dreamers classes for a year, in between the lockdowns. I wanted to start puppy training not only for Kai but for myself to build up my own confidence and understanding of dogs. Jill’s support and guidance has been next to none as we have had some challenges as I expect all new puppy owners experience. Kai loves going to his training classes and can’t get in the car quick enough to go. He is known as the singing lab as he is super excited in classes but with Jill’s support we have worked on calmness with Kai and seen a huge improvement. I would recommend K9 Dreamers to anyone seeking support and guidance or who just needs to build up their confidence with their canine companions.

Jan 22 - RS - Jill is an amazing dog trainer, understanding all different breed needs. Jill has been such a game changer helping with the process of our new puppy. Always provides good positive feedback in the classes. Always nice and calm, provides a supportive atmosphere. My puppy is always so excited when he gets to go to jills classes. Thank you for all your help with Sydney!

Jan 22 - AM - I would 100 % recommend K9Dreamers to everyone.... I used this service on a 121 basis twice with my puppy, Jill is absolutely fantastic with puppy’s/dogs. She knows her stuff and my puppy was like a total different puppy after following her advice and going out on a 121 basis... Excellent fantastic lady

July 21 - HJ - I contacted Jill Timms with some distress about my Working Cocker's increased aggressive/defensive behaviour towards other dogs, and also people passing on the pavement. Jill was immediately responsive and throughout she always responded fully to my emails within a few hours. She helped me analyse the source of the increased defensive behaviour - workmen parked outside the house for weeks, and constantly going backwards and forwards to their vans throughout the day, increasing his threshold of arousal. She sent me a lot of background material and then paid a two hour visit to discuss the problem. Following her analysis I bought more toys for the dog, to engage him during the day, and also started to follow guidance for pre-emptive discipline when we met another dog: sit, make eye contact, use beef jerky (easily held in the hand) as a distraction. Within a few days there was a great improvement in my dog and friends commented on how much calmer he had become. Right from the start I felt I could trust Jill to help me every step of the way and I intend taking her training classes even though my dog is nearly 4 years old and actually very obedient, I feel he will benefit from being in close interaction with other dogs in a controlled environment, and I will continue to get tips on making our lives more relaxed and enjoyable.

June 21 - SK - We adopted our beautiful Yogi, a cross Collie/Shepherd in August 2020 from Bosnia, and he was approximately 18 months old. He was neither lead or house trained, just a massive ball of undisciplined fun! We took Yogi to his first training class just 2 weeks after his arrival, and my husband and I decided that we too were in need of training, and attended a class each with Yogi, one on a Wednesday night, and one on a Friday night. Jill has a phenomenal knowledge of dogs, and advised not only on training, but any other aspect of canine care that we were struggling with. Nothing was too much trouble, and during lockdown, when classes were forbidden, Jill started a WhatsApp group, where she would discuss any problems we were having, and support all of her pupils in the continuing training of our dogs. We worked through our exams, Bronze, then Silver, and finally 2 weeks ago we succeeded in passing Gold, much to my surprise, but not Jill's. We are continuing to attend classes, and Jill is now giving us further objectives to achieve. An unbelievable achievement in just 10 months! We now have a well behaved, very happy rescue dog. On a public forum, can I say thank you very much Jill for your help in Yogi's training. Your depth of knowledge on all aspects of canine training and welfare is enormous and has proved invaluable.

March 21 - MB - Jill devised some 1:1 training sessions for my lively Ridgeback puppy.
In the first session some key points for development were identified and we concentrated on these.
Jill provides perceptive and useful feedback on our progress during the sessions and follows this with a clear, written summary and further guidance for our continuing development. This written feedback is very helpful, you are able to consider it carefully after the session. Jill creates a calm, very supportive atmosphere which is really encouraging.
We are finding the sessions extremely useful and I highly recommend Jill, she is a highly professional trainer
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
March 21 - BS - Jill has such a great knowledge and understanding of dogs, discussing our dog with her was like a light bulb moment.Looking at the bigger picture such as what phase they are in their life and the arousal bucket, his, at times unpredictable behaviours actually make sense. I am feeling so much more confident in my training and am looking forward to building an even stronger bond with my wonderful quirky dog who just needs me to understand him a little bit better.

Feb 21 - MS - Jill has been an enormous help to us throughout the process of getting our new puppy. She is always interested and engaged, very knowledgeable and clearly loves dogs. She has been really brought in to help us make things work which has been a real game changer! I don't think we could have done it without her so massively appreciated :)
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jan 21 - CD - Jill's advice is very clear and broken down to into manageable pieces. I will be making this a regular occurrence! Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
July 20- TI - Jill at K9Dreamers has been an absolute star in guiding my wife and myself to get the best out of dog. Always there with help and advice over any behavioural issues, this has been great help especially during lockdown. Jill continues to push both myself and my dog to become a strong unit. I know with K9Dreamers help we will continue developing new skills and understanding for both myself and our dog.
