TESTIMONIALS
“From our very first session, it was clear just how knowledgeable Jenny is. Throughout our training relationship Jenny has consistently shown patience, insight, adaptability and generosity.
More than two years later, she remains deeply invested in my development as a handler and in my dogs. She has provided world-class training, helped me source a new dog and dog breed, believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and helped shape my raw ability into something that set me on a new path.
Jenny has a rare ability to understand what each dog needs, while also being incredibly effective at connecting with people. She personally understands the challenges of dog ownership and dog sports, and she is deeply committed to supporting long-term success.”

“The first time I met Jenny was just epic. The first sentence was all about the relationship you (the owner/handler) have with your dog and how the quality of that relationship underpins everything and it does.
Jenny's endless energy, enthusiasm, humour and experience is infectious. I can see why her dogs love her and work so well for her, the dedication is extraordinary and a great goal to strive towards. I think I might run out of superlatives for Jenny Richards...but safe to say I strongly recommend her.’’

“Jenny is a fantastic trainer who I can not recommend enough.
I’ve been training with Jenny for the past year to build my Belgian Malinois confidence in agility who would shut down and become nervous if another dog barked, even if the other dog was at a distance this would still effect my girl. The difference in my girl is incredible you wouldn’t even believe it’s the same dog! Thanks to Jenny me and my girl are now out competing with loads of confidence and winning agility runs .
Best instructor I have ever come across.

“I'm compelled to write a fabulous review for Jenny and her wonderful help with Jax and I in our tracking journey.
We travel almost 2 hours for a 1 and a half hour session with her to work purely on tracking as we're complete newbies and are working towards our IGP1.
After 3 visits and brilliant training sessions we're actually enjoying our tracking which was not the case before working with her.
She explains everything so well and makes it really easy to understand. Not only on our 121s but when I send her videos with questions and comments, she helps build my confidence and I know exactly what to do after her advice.
Super happy we found her and love our work together. Jax has come on loads but that's only because Jenny has trained 'me' so well

“I first attended a Play and Motivation seminar with Jenny working my own dog, and what I experienced was something so unique. The passion Jenny has for building relationship into all parts of training including the play and rewarding was incredible.
As a Detection Scentwork Instructor the reward has always been of high priority when working the dogs, but Jenny has the incredible talent and knowledge of taking this to a completely different level, building the relationship as a vital component linking the handler and reward. I encourage my clients to attend her seminars to gain this crucial foundation and am privileged to be able to work alongside her on Detection Workshops to build the incredible relationships with the Detection dogs I train. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, passion and energy is contagious!
I would not hesitate to recommend Jenny for support with any dog sport.’’

“Inspirational, supportive, patient, knowledgeable, passionate, communicative, caring, professional, energetic, enthusiastic, fun - I could go on but I’ll run out of space….!
My sessions with Jenny never disappoint, she knows exactly how to help and support ( or give a jolly good talking to sometimes ) to get the very best from both ends of the lead
I’ve been training 2 very different dogs with Jenny for some time now and the 6hr round trip is absolutely bloody worth it!
Jenny has a completely unique teaching style and personality and it’s totally brilliant
Thank you Jenny we love you’’
Woodhead Woofers - Dog Trainer and Competitive Obedience Handler
“I absolutely love training with Jenny! Every session is jam-packed with valuable information and practical exercises.
I always leave feeling motivated and excited to continue the training at home and it's amazing how much we learn each time we attend. Beyond the skills, I cherish the bond I'm building with my dog. The relationship and play techniques have transformed our relationship. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking to train, build a better relationship and have fun with their dogs while working towards their goals!

“ Relationship, Relationship, Relationship!!
Working with Jenny has been an eye opener for Charlie (my lurcher) and me. Surely you just tell/ask your dog to do something and that’s “it”. Right??!!
Jenny’s has shown me that there’s a whole new and exciting world of working with Charlie through relationship and clear communication where he wants to please me. Different areas - tracking, motivational play and on occasion scentwork - need different skillsets and Jenny shows me the path to this fantastic world.
Just love the relationship and teamwork that I’m building with Jenny’s guidance and patience. Very excited for the journey ahead and wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to anyone who is even slightly curious about building the bond with your dog whether they are a pet or working dog.
