Don't just take our word for it, here's what some of our students have said:
"Myself and Rocky really enjoyed our experience with Tracey at Dogwarts K9 Academy. We completed both the beginners and progression sessions and have seen such a big difference in Rocky. I started very anxious with a puppy who was always overexcited and constantly bitting on his lead to a dog who walks so much nicer on the lead and can even remain on his boundary. Calmness is definitely key! Would definitely recommend!"
"After getting my Jackapoo girl I wanted to start on the right foot, in terms of her training and my training. I was fortunate to come across Tracy's beginners puppy session on Facebook. Tracy is very knowledgeable and is ever so helpful with all my questions. Enjoyed so much the beginner's sessions that I did not hesitate to sign up to the next level up. Looking forward to more game based training and the platform based videos and reading e-books/articles that Tracy shares with us. Excellent way to really bond with your dog 😃💛🐶"
"Rudy is doing so well and settling in well after his first puppy class. Here he is chilling on his magic carpet with his stick rather than chasing the kids around the living room "

Tracy
Welcome to Dogwarts K9 Academy where I help stressed out dog parents overcome their dog training struggles and fall back in love with their dog again with pressure free, fun training techniques that get real life results.
Helping all dogs but specialising in Puppies and Reactivity & Anxiety cases.
When you work with me you get the training your dog would choose if they were given the chance to pick a trainer. Why? Because my training helps you to understand your dog, to speak their language to help you understand the real meaning behind their behaviour which creates an unbelievable relationship of trust that enables you to get wonderful results.
I do not use and will not recommend any aversive training methods so you can be assured that the training you receive is judgement free, pressure free and fear free. I will never use intimidation to get results but instead use fun techniques that your dog can relate to, learns with, and puts the joy back into your training time together. When you work with your dog this way, your results really do become unstoppable.
I help you to break it all down, help you understand your dog’s go to response, pick up on the triggers (these may not be what you think they are) then we work together to bring hope back into your lives.
From dogs that have escaped war-torn countries to dogs that need help to learn that not everything in the environment is something to worry about, I have helped dogs with lead reactivity, dog/people reactivity, noise reactivity and separation related reactivity, I have helped them to reshape and rebuild their emotions so they can live their lives with less anxious reactivity and experience more adventures with joy.
