We have one shot with Squid to make sure he’s content and confident. Meadowview have given us and him the start we need to not only just bond together, but also to set ourselves up for success. We are incredibly grateful for the thorough yet so very enjoyable training. We’ll see you soon on our next course!

This course gave us so much on how to best support our puppy in their development and some invaluable basic training skills. The course was fun, clearly delivered and well structured. It also offered lots of opportunity to practise and socialise with others. Our lives have become easier since doing this course, and we have been able to bond more with our puppy through greater understanding of her. We now feel ready to tackle more training with her from this solid foundation.

We partic liked the small class size and the support offered by Donna and Pablo, both of whom Annie absolutely loved. Although we have had dogs for years we found the classes helpful and always positive.

Really helpful classes run by super informative, passionate and caring instructors in a wonderful environment. Dotty loved the course and we learned so much. There’s always extra tips to help with whatever problem you might encounter with your puppy. There’s many more training classes to take once you’ve completed puppy school too, which we’re definitely going to take advantage of! Highly recommend.

Having had a reasonably well trained dog previously, we attended this puppy class to tone our skills and help socialise our new little chap - Otis.

However this class, the staff and facilities offered us so more than we could ever have imagined. Donna and her team are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about puppies and dogs. They are so generous with their time, always happy to listen to problems and continually offer marvellous practical solutions. The facility is simply perfect for dog training. From the offer of a cup of something welcoming, to sensibly priced carefully selected food, toys and training aids they really offer the complete package.

We are so pleased we found this fabulous facility, even as past dog owners we have learned so much and now really feel part of a brilliant dog orientated community. We will certainly be looking to take advantage of more fun filled, informative courses with Donna and her team as well as booking the paddock for 'play dates'.

It's a definite recommendation from us!

Together with my ridgeback puppy, I have just completed Donna and Lucy's six puppy school sessions. I have previously attended puppy classes with my older dog but Meadow View's were so much more interesting, relevant and fun. The venue is great too - brilliant not to be outside in the middle of winter. Both my pup and I enjoyed the whole course, learnt a great deal and will be returning for puppy scent training.

Just finished our 6 week Puppy School training course with our little Westie Ernie. Can’t thank Meadow View enough for being so accommodating fitting us in at last moment. Learnt some valuable tips and pointers and looking forwards to progressing with further training at Meadow View. 😁

Matilda had a great time at the puppy foundation class and learnt lots. Donna was very kind and went above ans beyond to help us catch up on some missed sessions when we were ill. She really cares about giving puppies the best possible start.
Donna kindly gave advice and tricks on how to manage Matilda who was launching at cars on the fast road close to home, amongst other things less related to class directly. Her advice is always easy to implement and it works! We cannot wait for the next class and really enjoyed the approach at MeadowView. We cannot thank Donna and the team enough.

Milo and I loved this puppy class. Donna and the girls were so patient and kind towards everyone, encouraging the dogs, and their owners, at every point. They also set up message groups so we could keep in continuous contact during the course, helping to check that we were getting the techniques correct, and posting videos of how our puppies were doing. Milo had a shoulder injury causing him to miss two sessions, but Donna and the team were great and allowed me to still attend on my own, and also with our family dog, plus they offered for us to join onto the next course if Milo was falling behind. Milo did complete the course, and he is gaining confidence everyday, as am I. I would highly recommend this course and the people who provide it.

We have been dog owners for years, but we wanted to give our new Cocker puppy ‘Bam Bam’ the best start possible, after all there is always room for us to learn more. We were really impressed with the facilities, indoor barn, outside training area and a paddock. Donna & Lucy are absolutely passionate about what they do, as are the other trainers. Their knowledge, wisdom and experience shone through at every session. Not only did we do Puppy School, which we passed with flying colours, but we have also been to a Puppy Social Workshop and a Basic tricks workshop (that was great fun too) and what ‘Bam Bam’ learnt in 1 session was incredible. We are shortly starting Scent training and we are very excited to be returning to Meadowview (so is ‘Bam Bam’). Thank you Meadow View for a wonderful experience.

Lupin and I have just completed the Puppy Foundation Course which was fantastic. Lucy and Donna are always happy to chat through any ideas or worries and sooo many handy tips and recommendations. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and plan on coming back and continuing our training journey with Meadow View!

Such an amazing course. Willow loved going every week, and being able to socialise her with other puppies without it being ‘Play play Play’ was really useful. We have a good Basis to continue training, and to make it fun to! Would highly recommend this course and the Meadow View team

A very good intro to training a puppy. Although I have had rescued dogs , never having had a puppy before made this essential learning. Recommended.

Brilliant classes, tailored the training to the characteristics of each dog. Helped me achieve things I didn’t think were possible with a whippet!

Fabulous class learnt so much from Donna she is so knowledgable, caring and enthusiastic. Twix is a happy and engaging puppy thanks to the guidance and encouragement of Donna and her team.
Would highly recommend whether this is your first puppy or like me have owned dogs before I have learnt so much.

The puppy class was amazing, warm welcoming and informative! Donna is so enthusiastic and passionate about her job and the information and training was beyond expectations. We had a great 6 weeks and learnt so much not just about training but health, exercise and nutrition. We are now booked on the life skills course. Would highly recommend Donna and Lucy.

This class was way more than we could have expected. Donna and Lucy have a broad range of knowledge teaching us not only the basic commands as you might imagine but also teaching us general life skills, tips and tricks that we can use for the rest of our lives.
Donna and Lucy are so kind and offer support whenever it was needed. Could not recommend this class enough if you have a puppy. We’ll certainly be looking to join onto another course to further progress our skills as our lovely Vizsla pup Reggie grows!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything, it really has been a great 6 weeks x

So glad we found Donna through our vets recommendation. We have had dogs for a while but learnt lots of new things about feeding and behavioural issues as well as obedience. Flynn was very keen on Donna so was very excitable in class but Donna was able to “manage” all the puppies and owners brilliantly. Even our older dog picked some things up in the course of training Flynn. We will be bringing Flynn to the Life Skills course next.

Having heard great things about Donna and her puppy trading classes I booked my JRT Ember long shanks in for her 6 week class .
From the start Donna’s enthusiasm and professionalism for dog training hits you , she makes the classes interesting for the puppy and the owner too , they build from the first session until the last where you have a better understanding of how to motivate your dog and have good control with them in a positive way , I would highly recommend the classes they were great value and a good experience for both Ember and myself 😁👍

Fantastic puppy classes couldn't recommend them enough. We've had dogs for years and still learnt so much from Donna, not just about training Abel but also about enriching your dogs or puppy's lives! Abel too learnt so much, and we are all really looking forward to the next stage of training Abel to become a well-mannered dog 🙂

Absolutely brilliant puppy trainer and course. My GSD is a very nervous pup especially when she first arrived but by the end of the course she was like a different dog, much more relaxed and listening and engaging with the class and all the other dogs. Can’t wait to get her on her next course with Meadow View :)

Can not recommend these classes enough! Leo is a rescue and was a bit older when he joined but this was perfect for getting him used to the high level of distraction of other dogs etc! Meeting the other owners and pups was great and we were all very encouraging of each other. Donna was great and had loads of great tips and suggestions around feeding and grooming as well as the basic training. We also can’t thank her enough for all the help she gave us when we first got Leo as a scared little rescue from Bulgaria! She gave us fab advice and support and he is so much more confident and settled !!

Do these classes 👌🏻👌🏻🐕🐕
