Testimonials

"We have now just completed our first fun agility course with Kat. It was just fantastic-great fun for both me and my four legged friend. We are eagerly looking forward to the next course! I can't recommend Kat highly enough. She is so lovely with the dogs (& their humans), patient and gains their trust and love. My little chap is besotted! I would certainly recommend Kat and Poochadise."

-Alison

"If you're looking at doing agility, I definitely recommend booking with Kat. I wanted to find something fun to do with my dogso we tried agility for the first time and it's great fun. My dog gets very excited around other dogs so I decided on the 1-1 option. Kat is very patient and there's no pressure to perform perfectly. It's a great way to bond with your dog and have a laugh, especially when your dog runs off with the plastic number signs!"

-Jenna

"1000% would recommend bringing your pup to Poochadise Agility. I won't go anywhere else! I've been to many different types of classes but haven't enjoyed any as much as I enjoy Kat's! Nancy is one of a kind and can get a little frantic around other dogs. These classes are structured in a way which means you can take it at your and your dogs own pace. Nancy doesn't like some of the equipment but Kat is always more than happy to adjust the course for her so she feels comfortable whilst we work towards building her confidence on certain things. There is absolutely no pressure or judgement but lots of fun to be had by all! If you fancy giving it a go but are worried about how your dog will react (as i was), then this class is for you! I felt completely at ease at the first session, it's a very friendly and supportive environment."

-Victoria

"Oh my goodness 5 stars isn't enough!!! Kat is incredible. Both Gracie and myself have had an absolute blast on our first 5 week course. So much so we've booked onto another!! Kat is fun, caring, patient and a great trainer. Thank you so much".

-Sarah

"Kat is absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable! My bouncy Cockapoo now walks by my side which is something I never thought I'd be able to achieve! I can't believe the difference in him from just a few obedience sessions. Highly recommend".

-Amy

"Kat is amazing, my Cocker Spaniels love her. She helped me in a family emergency. I have holidays booked this year and I have the peace of mind she will take care of my fur babies. Thanks Kat, you're an angel!"

-Nicky

"Very professional and friendly service. Kat knows her stuff and cares a lot about animals. She's definitely the one for the job!"

-Laurie

"It's so good to see someone who genuinely cares about dogs as much as Kat. At very short notice, after being called away with work, she took great care of Claude. He clearly had a great time, I will definitely be using this service again."

-Keith

"Kat is fantastic with my pup, she always lets me know what's happening on the day and sends me photos of Rocky. I love to read his report card when I get home from work. She is brilliant at giving advice and is very supportive. Would highly recommend Poochadise to anyone wanting a reliable, friendly and fun person to take care of their fur babies!!"

-Katy

"Met up with the wonderful Kat for a socialisation session for our new puppy Dobbie! Had a fabulous walk with Kat and her own dogs Lola and Tinkerbell.Dobbie and I had a fab time-highly recommend."

-Chrissy

"I have known Kat for a number of years and never known her to be without a dog in her household. Having been on many walks with Kat, I have witnessed her fondness and respect for man's best friend. She has a very natural warmth and empathy which dogs respond to. Kat is fun-loving and has a genuine sense of commitment to any dogs in her care. She clearly wants the best for any dogs for whom she is responsible-whether that be from the perspective of diet, exercise, grooming or general well-being. There are not many people in this world that I would trust implicitly to look after my dog-Kat is one of the few. I recommend her serviceswhole-heartly."

-Helen

"Kat has been a godsend in helping us with Chloe, our very lively Rottweiler puppy. Kat offers so much more than just 'walking the dog around the block'. She always arrives on time, with a big smile for me and a big cuddle for Chloe! Every outing is an adventure including trips to the forest, beaches and parks. I am always informed beforehand as to where they are going and whether Chloe will be on a solo walk or with a group. Kat also works in line with any training you have in place and ensures she uses the same commands to avoid confusion! When house sitting with Chloe, I feel confident that 'doggy house rules' are strictly adhered to and that all doors and windows are secure before her departure. Kat sends photos of Chloe's adventures and at the end of each session I get a report card detailing Chloe's day and behaviour. I have no hesitation in recommending Kat for all your dogcare needs, whatever their age or breed."

-Sally

"Kat came to look after my dog for a few days, not only did she do a great job of comforting Pippa who's very anxious, she also gave great advice for her diet as she's a bit chubby! She sent me photos and videos everyday and reassured me Pippa was fine and happy! Her report card was a great idea and was nice to be able to read what she had been up to! She's very friendly and easily approachable! Would 100% recommend and will definitely use again!"

-Gabbie

"Kat is amazing!! We trust her completely looking after our little fur baby, Star is shattered after her hours visit. It's obvious Kat loves her job and looks after Star like she was her own. Love the updates we get on what Star's been up to. Kat is always on hand for help and advice too."

-Gemma

"Kat is amazing! Kat is so professional, you'll always feel confident your pup is in good hands. Our Otis gets so excited to see her it's obvious she gives the dogs all the love, care and attention as she would her own. Nothing is ever too much and Kat will always try and help out wherever she possibly can."

-Amy

"Kat has now been walking the boys for over a year and all I can say is she is fabulous! She puts so much time and energy into the dogs she walks and clearly has a passion for each and every dog she works with. The boys love her and not only has she been a great walking addition she has been on hand to offer some tips and advice for some training and development needs. The poochies are really happy and so are we. Would definitely recommend Poochadise to any doggy ownwers."

-Stacey

"At very short notice, Kat saved the day and fed the cats! Very professional and friendly and kept me updated on them on each visit, which was great ease on holiday! Will recommend and use again!"

-Tania

"Excellent with dogs. My puppy loves walks with Kat!"

-Martine

"Kat is a great people and dog person and it's clear to see the dogs just love her. From the moment I met Kat at my home at a meet and greet for my 9 month old dog Luna, I knew Kat was the dog walker I wanted for Luna! Plus the photos and videos are hilarious she puts up on Facebook that day!"

-Lucy

"Our dog just loves Kat and as owners we couldn't ask for a more dedicated, loving and trustworthy person to look after our pets. We have used Poochadise for over a year now and as long as Kat's around, ready, willing and able we would never entrust our pets to anyone else."

-Karen

"If your dog is your baby, your pride and joy, no-one could understand better than Kat. Our pup adores his daily walks. He is a big ball of energy and Kat doesn't bat an eye in the wake of his over-excitedness. In fact, we've also done some one-to-one training with Kat to try to calm his extreme levels of excitement when meeting other people and dogs. With Kat's unrivalled patience and understanding of dog behaviour, he has come a long way and is now able to greet others in a much more calm manner. This makes walks and having people over much more enjoyable tasks! You couldn't ask for better for your beloved pooch.

-Aimee

"Before we even met Kat we thought she was so professional and clearly loved her job and we were looking forward to being part of Poochadise. We've been nothing but more than happy with Kat looking after our puppy and it's so reassuring to know that she is left in safe hands whilst we are at work. Kat is always happy to offer advice and guidance and gives us an update on how our puppy has been that day. We love the updates on facebook too and are able to see our little pup having a great time. Kat is clearly so dedicated to the dogs and we would recommend her to anyone!"

-Nic

"Highly recommended professional who is as crazy in love with all pooches as we are!"

-Rachel

"Kat is absolutely amazing with our Lab Ralph! She loves the dogs she works with as much as their owners do (which is every dog owners dream!). Kat is so flexible, always keen to help and has such a kind, compassionate way with dogs! We're so, so pleased we found Poochadise, and when Ralph hears Kat's voice on videos he gets beside himself with excitement!! Thank you so much for everything you do Kat, we're very lucky to have you!"

-Emily

"Kat has walked our Lab for the last year, he loves her, so do we. Never have to worry as we know he is in very good hands, always happy to change days to help out. Always a smiling face even when Bandit runs off into bushes and comes back wet and covered in poo and she still manages to bring him back clean! (She has a great portable dog washer)"

-Ruth

"A really friendly and professional service. Kat taught us to relax around other dogs with Tia and how to stop her from getting excited when the door bell rang. Two visits as we were looking after Tia whilst our daughter was on holiday. Well worth the experience."

-Tony

"Poochadise gives a fantastic personal service. I would highly recommend them! Keep up the good work ladies."

-Liz

"I've never met such a dedicated and dog crazy team. Our dogs love them all. The whole team, headed up by Kat, are all ultra professional and your dog(s) always come first. I could not recommend them highly enough."

-Kev

"Great company. I normally wouldn't feel comfortable giving people a key to my house or trusting a stranger with my dog but Kat and the girls are all fantastic. I can't recommend them enough."

-Neil

"Kat and her team are all amazing with our fussy Frenchie. It's clear to see that the dogs in Poochadise care are absolutely adored and in very safe hands. The Poochadise girls always go out of their way to help and I don't know what we would have done without them over the last few months. Our prince pooch wouldn't go to anyone else."

-Nicole

"Kat is amazing. So trustworthy."

-Nat

"Well...where do I begin?! So so glad I reached out to Kat as I now have a whole new level of motivation. I am relieved that I finally picked up the phone and made that SOS call-it was the best thing I ever did for our rescued fur babies. Thank you from the whole household for coming today and for showing us how to make everyone happy, our lives lives have changed dramatically already. Feeling super motivated and I know we will make you proud with our dog training progress. Simply the best trainer ever!"

-Christine

"We had a recall refresher session with Kat and it was great to hear her expertise on dog behaviour. She gave us useful tips and we're really looking forward to practising them with our dog. Our first enrichment game was dog pinata! Thanks Kat. You're great and I would highly recommend you."

-Abi

"I had a 1:1 recall session with Kat and our little dog Teddy. Kat was fantastic. Very informative and encouraging. My fear was holding me back from seeing how awesome our fur baby was at listening. On her advice I feel confident to confident to continue the journey to build my confidence and trust with our little dog. I would highly recommend Poochadise."

-Kate

"Our nine month old rescue, Tess has just graduated today from Poochadise Academy. Starting later in life at six months old for training and not speaking English, Tess has come on leaps and bounds since completing Kat's six lesson package. Tess has come out of her shyness and has become a close member of our family. A lot of this is both hard work by Kat and dedicated followers of Kat's instructions. We wish to thank her very much and would highly recommend her to others."

-Mike and Angie

"Kat has been helping us with our puppy who had very little training before we got him at 4 months old. She's been really great at giving us lots of positive training tips which have really helped make a difference! Thank you so much Kat, your help has been invaluable."

-James and Hazel

"Had an amazing 1 to 1 walk and Kat gave amazing advice. Really looking forward to joining the agility classes soon!"

-Sammy

"Bruno loved the obedience classes and has come on leaps and bounds. Kat is absolutely amazing, highly recomend her classes. Friendly, fun and rewarding! Thanks for all the tricks Kat, lots of love Bruno."

-Lisa

"We would not hesitate to highly recommend Kat. As first time puppy owners, Kat has been a wonderful guide, sharing her extensive knowledge and experience, giving our family confidence to deal with everyday life situations that occur in the first months of welcoming a puppy into our home. Kat has certainly shown us that this isn't just a job to her it's a passion, going above and beyond our expectations of any trainer. Thank you Kat for making this new adventure with our puppy Herbie a very positive one! We can't wait to start our next class and look forward to learning new skills with your help and guidance."

-Kathryn

"Kat is absolutely incredible. We had an addition to our family that had been a bit more stressful than expected. We booked a 1 on 1 with Kat and even after the first sessionthings made a lot more sense. She's taught us so much and now we have high hopes with the future with our new 'crazy' addition. She's helped us form bonds and understand her behaviour more. Kat doesn't show any judgement and has always been completely understanding. Thank you so much Kat."

-Georgina

"Kat has been amazing help with our 6 month old Boxer we have picked up. So much help and information after just one session we are now able to continue training him so we now will be able to walk him for the first time on a loose lead! Would highly recommend Kat".

-Jan

"We have just completed the beginners obedience course with Kat. My dog and I have learned such a lot and he has thoroughly enjoyed himself. Kat is so enthusiastic, wonderful with dogs and is a great teacher. It has been such a fun experience for me and my furry friend! The course gave us both lots of confidence, taught my dog the basics and gave me the courage to let him off lead".

-Alison

"Jack and I had great fun at the obedience classes, we have learned a lot and it's really helping with his training. Kat's enthusiasm and passion for her work just makes each class so enjoyable. Thank you so much Kat x."

-Sue

"Kat is fantastic with Derek in the hydrotherapy pool. He adores his swims and is so happy. Would 100% recommend!"

-Anna

"We have only just started beginner agility classes with Kat, but have loved it so far. Kat is lovely and very welcoming. Our puppy can struggle with excitement of other dogs, but there's plenty of space for us to move out of the way if needed."

-Faye

"Sonny is an 11 month old pup. Kat was amazing with him, patient when he was unsure and allowed him to work at his own pace. He loved the jumps, weaves and even went through the tunnel for the first time! We look forward to seeing you again soon."
