Lynsey is approachable- listened well- assessed me and my dog’s problem very accurately - and taught us how to remedy it!
She ( and her Partner and two dogs on the second visit) came to me- so I didn’t have to travel. The dogs allowed my dog to demonstrate his problem - and I’d been taught how to nip it in the bud, without it escalating. The last week has been the absolute best time of his 21 months, and I’ve now got a dog that I can let off lead, knowing that I can get him to return to me!
Thank you so much Sensible Dog Training.

We've just completed the ecollar training course with Lynsey (6 hours over 3 consecutive days)
Woody had a good recall in low distraction environments but a very high prey drive which meant walks were becoming increasingly stressful and ultimately would have resulted in him being back on a lead for all future walks.
Lynsey spent time understanding Woody's working levels which meant training was done in a safe and ethical manner. Lynsey also understood our initial apprehension about ecollars so she patiently explained every step of what we were doing, and more importantly for me explained the 'why'.
Our first two sessions were done at home to ensure we were comfortable with the equipment and how to use it in a secure environment. Our final session was putting what we'd all learnt into practice out in the real world. It was so wonderful to see Woody enjoying his freedom (with his tail happily wagging ) and for us to have confidence in a reliable recall even with distractions.

I would highly recommend Lynsey.
I have a jr x lakeland, who struggled to pass other dogs on a walk, she shown us how to help him understand he doesn`t need to react. Walks now are so much nicer and less stressful.
Many thanks again Lynsey.

I asked Lyndsey for help with Loki, my 5-year-old rescue Boxer x Bull Mastiff, to work on his reactivity towards other dogs. After years of going through trainers with no real progress, I felt defeated. Earlier this year we did some training that was great for obedience and lead manners, but I knew we needed a different approach—something that actually suited him and our goals. And thank god I trusted that instinct.
Lyndsey didn’t just train Loki; she trained me. She helped me shift my mindset from focusing purely on obedience and control to learning how to let go and trust my dog. Ever since, he’s been able to truly relax and socialise appropriately. He’s now off-lead the majority of the time, and walks are no longer something I dread.
At 5 years old, his whole life has finally transformed. He can safely be trusted in different environments and around other dogs, livestock, and people. It’s absolutely amazing to see him thrive🥰

Our beautiful rescue GSD/ Caucasian Shepherd is an anxious, reactive dog. We have had 3 other trainers in the year that we have had him. Sensible dogs we can see enabled him to progress more in 3 visits, (about 4.5 hours), than in the past year since we were blessed with him. We have paid over £1000 in total to the other trainers but Lindsey is so reasonably priced and so compassionate. She cares about the dog and the owners, (who need most of the training), Cannot recommend her enough!!! She is just brilliant, and completely understands dogs AND their owners. We have a little way to go, but we can see that Bane will reach his full doggy potential.

Lynsey is such a fantastic dog whisperer. With her lovely pack of doggo's she did a wonderful job teaching our 6mo puppy the basics.
