“It was a great experience - Amanda explained each exercise really well, demonstrated it herself and then gave us lots of time to practice with her watching to give advice.”

GOOGLE REVIEW: “We just completed 6 weeks of 121 sessions with Amanda with our new 18 month old rescue dog. It was a great experience - Amanda explained each exercise really well, demonstrated it herself and then gave us lots of time to practice with her watching to give advice. Our dog has come from the streets and so I was particularly nervous about recall and whether he would actually come back - Amanda has given us a lot more confidence on our walks and he is now happily running around a long lead and we are still hoping to be able to fully let him off in the future, with more practice. I would thoroughly recommend Amanda and we are looking forward to attending the Canine College classes next year”.

FACEBOOK & GOOGLE REVIEW: “Getting a puppy has been a steep learning curve for me and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to be guided and supported through this than with our Happy Buddies course! Amanda and Bella have such a lovely supportive way of teaching, totally grounded in reality of day to day life with a puppy. It is clear that they are passionate about dogs and their wellbeing and enabling that through giving owners the skills they need. My whole family attended the training and we all enjoyed it and had fun in the process.We have all learned a tremendous amount in the six weeks, and have tonnes of additional content and resources at our fingertips for those moments when we really need them.

GOOGLE REVIEW: “We had a fantastic 121 training session with Happy Buddies dog training. I was very nervous before the training, however Amanda was very professional, and immediately put me at ease, she is very knowledgeable and absolutely loves what she does! Her passion for dogs really shows, her approach was fantastic from before we even met her, to way after our session, ensuring we are ok and sending messages and links to questions I had asked throughout the training session, we have learnt so much! I definitely now have so much more confidence when out and about with my dog, and she has the most fun and loves going out for a walk. Thank you so much Amanda from the both of us”.

“We have three young children and Amanda has taught us how Rex’s body language communicates how he is feeling in different situations - this was so important for us to know (and to be able to teach the children) when he needs time alone/extra reassurance.”

FACEBOOK REVIEW: “Amanda is amazing! We have recently completed puppy school & have booked on to follow on courses. Our puppy Rex was slightly nervous at first - it was like Amanda could read his mind and was always one step ahead! We learnt so much in the training class she also recommended products/dog walkers etc. We have three young children and Amanda has taught us how Rex’s body language communicates how he is feeling in different situations - this was so important for us to know (and to be able to teach the children) when he needs time alone/extra reassurance.

“Amanda is absolutely incredible, always going above and beyond in every way you could imagine ...”

GOOGLE REVIEW: “I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but having just finished Amanda’s Puppy School I just really felt I needed to. Amanda is absolutely incredible, always going above and beyond in every way you could imagine - from being prepared with stuffed Kongs each week and offering me extra personalised advice and support for a problem I was having outside of class with my pup at no extra charge. She always came to class with a huge smile and clearly loves her job (which shines through in the amazing work she does). I can’t wait to come back for K9 Hoopers! I honestly can’t recommend her enough, worth every penny and more. Thank you Amanda!”

“Both dog and handler gain a great sense of achievement, an even greater bond and so much pride! I could not recommend it [Hoopers] more.”

WEBSITE COURSE REVIEW: “The Hoopers course run by Amanda is greatly beneficial to both dogs and their "parents". It allows dogs to learn at their pace through repetition, in a calm, friendly, fun environment and build confidence. The small number of dogs allows Amanda to closely monitor individual progress and adjust instructions. Both dog and handler gain a great sense of achievement, an even greater bond and so much pride! I could not recommend it more.”

“We’ve been informed of so many little tips and tricks to make the puppy life somewhat easier.”

FACEBOOK RECOMMENDATION: “Myself and my family have attended the 6 week puppy course with Bella and it is so interesting. Interesting in a way, that it’s amazing how many people I’ve come across that don’t know how we’ve been advised to train our little pup. We’ve been informed of so many little tips and tricks to make the puppy life somewhat easier.  After our 6 week course, we then proceeded with 2, 1-1 sessions with Amanda. She is so knowledgeable, kind and lovely. She really does care about our puppies little world. I’ve honestly learnt so much and things that I can implement at home and has made my life so much easier. Thank you Bella and Amanda. It’s been a pleasure and thanks for introducing and helping me with mum life.”

“Bella's advice was reassuring, pragmatic and insightful with lovely humour.”

WHATSAPP MESSAGE: “Bella is wonderful and understood our individual "quirks" tailoring the approach and training contents. Bobb was easy, it was me and Scott who were hard to train! Bella's advice was reassuring, pragmatic and insightful with lovely humour. Bobb's progress is so heart warming and the process has enabled Scott to bond fabulously with him and Bobb's confidence has grown so much. A huge huge thank you to Bella, it was wonderful for us to have Bella's expertise and support at the start of our life with our little treasure”.
