Thinking Dog

My working cocker and I have attended training classes with Cassie since my pup was 4.5 months old (she is now 2 years old). We started with Cassie's puppy skills course, followed by her adolescent life skills course, then her agility foundations course, and now we attend weekly agility training. All of Cassie's training uses positive reinforcement techniques - no lead jerks, sssshhing, harsh punishment, etc.  It's important to remember her training is as much (if not more) about training YO...

She sees things and picks up on things that most others would miss.

We are absolutely loving our journey, and I'm so proud of how f...

Cassie is an amazing trainer, she worked wonders with my little Alfie. I never thought he would be so responsive and enjoy training so much. I have been training him every day with chopped up venison sausages (he loves them), and I can't wait to join Cassie's advanced classes. I highly recommend her, patient, observant and I think she even trained me without even realizing it at the time. Thanks, see you again soon.

Thinking Dog has been enabling me and my partner to go out to work for the last five years! It can be a bit tricky balancing full time work with dog ownership but with the help of Thinking Dog we can leave the house safe in the knowledge that during the day they’ll get some exercise and a break from being indoors. We really valued the training our two had with Thinking Dog in their younger days, the opportunity they have to socialise with other dogs and the enrichment exercises that form part...
