First & Foremost Dog Training, Devon & Dorset

I messaged Elena recently looking for training for my schnoodle, Beau has always been so excitable and I didn't have the skills to train him alone, my anxiety was through the roof just at the thought of walks. Elena was so lovely from our first contact! - she didn't make me feel bad like some other trainers have in the past. After just 1 hour with Elena she has given me the skills to walk beau, meet other dogs and know exactly what to do. I'm looking forward to getting out again later to put ...

My wife and I have just got back from a week away abroad which was made even more relaxing knowing that Elena was looking after our Border Collie Jimmy. We have never left Jimmy before since he came to us as a puppy so obviously we were a little nervous to leave him. We cannot thank Elena enough for the incredible amount of love and care she has shown Jimmy, the regular videos and commentary of what a great time he was having were so lovely to receive and made our holiday just perfect. We cam...

Elena is just fabulous! We trust her 100% to come and look after our dogs in our home when we go away. I was a bit anxious to leave them but Elena put us totally at ease and the dogs loved her ❤️ We received regular updates, photos and videos while we were away and it was clear the dogs were having a great time without us!! Elena’s passion for caring for and working with dogs shines through. She is calm, knowledgeable, caring and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Elena! 🐾

First and Foremost Dog Training We found Elena online as we were looking for doggy daycare for our cocker spaniel pup and are so glad that we did! Rather than doggy daycare Bramble was puppy sat in our own holiday accommodation, received training, walks and, from the videos Elena sent, was living her best life - truly a doggy version of Mary Poppins! Elena was fantastic in her communications to make the necessary arrangements, arrived early and, in the handover, inspired faith and confidence...

Wow! After one session with Elena our dog was walking to heel & by traffic again which he was absolutely terrified of, made such a huge difference to our walks, am absolutely delighted. Such immediate positive results. Unbelievable. Was so impressed, Elena is now helping us perfect other points. Her approach definitely works with our dog. She reads dogs so well & explains the behaviours to help us understand. Highly, highly recommend.
