"I am a Veterinary Surgeon who runs four small animal veterinary hospitals in the Dublin area and am delighted to supply a reference for Lisa whom I have known and held in the highest regard for several years."

"All our hospitals have liased closely with Dog Training Ireland over the past years and have found their approach to the training and behaviour issues of dogs at all times to be of the highest standard and not only to produce excellent results but very happy clients. The courses run at Dog Training Ireland are done so in a professional manner and in a pleasant environment. Indeed I am aware veterinary surgeons in all districts of Dublin send cases to Dog Training Ireland and all speak of them in very high regard. The seminars run by them are attended on a regular basis by our qualified veterinary nurses who have found them both useful and informative."

"I've worked with DTI since it was first established and have found their trainers' professionalism, expertise, care and pure love of dogs and dog training to be of the highest order."

"I first came to them as a client to train my puppy, and over the years (and several additional dogs) have enjoyed many classes (such as agility) and seminars (on managing difficult dogs, on agility, on training with visiting experts such as Dr Ian Dunbar, Dee Ganley etc). I also have greatly valued the support of DTI with my work in running Irish Cavalier Rescue (www.ckcsrescue.com)."

"I've known Lisa and Tara for several years both as a client of theirs and as a fellow professional. They are dedicated, great teachers, helpful and progressive trainers. Through their up-to-date training methods they teach dogs and, more importantly, they teach the owners how to train their dogs in a happy and positive manner."

"Their daycare facilities are the only one of their type that I know of in Ireland. The dogs get to socialise, play and rest in a safe, supervised and cared for environment."

"I can't say enough good things about the guys at DTI and the daycare facility. My dog, Toby has always been a nervous dog and could be quite dog agressive around dogs he didn't know because he was so scared. Walks were a nightmare and I couldn't bring him around other dogs anywhere unless he knew them well. I dropped him into daycare one day to see how he would cope while all the time expecting a call any minute asking me to take him back. Instead when I called to collect him he was relaxed and running around with other dogs."   Read more...

"When we got the chance to write about our expeience of dog training ireland Shep and I were delighted. We have wanted to tell everyone about this wonderful service . Shep joined our family in February 2009 . He was 10 weeks old and a very timid and scared collie pup who really was afraid of his own shadow.!!! Well, me and shep decided that we would do something about it . We joined up for pupy socialisation classes as soon as we could . I remember the first evening of the class. All of the other adorable pups seemed to run off and play with each other filled with confidence . Poor Shep cried and tried as hard a he could to be invisable !! He cowered in a corner and shook !! . Anyway the girls Lisa and Laura were so great with him and explained that he was just lacking confidence and seemed to understand Shep's behaviours straight away. They were so calm and confident with the dogs that it made me and Shep Calm too . The girls suggested that Shep go to DOGGIE DAY CARE to learn to socialise with the other dogs and build his confidence . I was really anxious handing over my most precious belonging the next Monday. The staff were amazing and reassured me. They even were so understanding when I called an hour after I had left him to see how he was doing!"   Read more...

"Dog training Ireland has been a real find for me! My first contact with them was when Tara came to my house to do a puppy hour with me and my Bichon Dilis. As a first time dog owner I had done a lot of research prior to getting Dilis but was very nervous when he arrived as it wasn't until then that I truly realised that my life would never be the same again. I was now responsible for another life; Dilis would depend on me for all his needs. Would I be a fit mother or would the doggy social services be after me?? Tara put my mind at rest, she gave me lots of practical advice and her calm confidence was very reassuring. We made it through our first few weeks and my kitchen floor was washed more often than ever before."   Read more...
