Mel is wonderful at what she does.

I have been working with Mel for a couple of months now, and she has been pivotal in helping create solid foundations with our Golden Retriever puppy. At just 15 weeks old (the puppy, not Mel), the amount of comments we get about her steadiness and c... Read more By Jamie

Priceless training for us and our two Vizslas.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said, “I wish we did this 3 years ago!” We have a 4 year old Viz and a 5 month old pup. We tried everything with our older boy, from internet searches, books, friendly advice etc to train recall, loose lead... Read more By Ben Paull

Life Changing tuition for our Toy Poodle

Prior to collecting our Toy poodle we shopped around for trainers for our puppy (and ourselves as first-time puppy owners!) Of the responses we received, the best by a mile was a phone call from Mel that literally changed our lives. We were so nervou... Read more By Louise Thorley

From 8 weeks old to puppy classes and individual training, any breed.

It's like taking an entirely different dog for a walk

My Lab had been attending reward based / force free training with another trainer for over a year - with no discernible results. He still had little or no recall and was a nightmare to take for a walk. Having found Breckland Dog Training via Google (... Read more By Diana Round

Good find

Having bought another pup, I searched the internet to locate puppy classes. I phoned Mel at Breckland Dog Training and was immediately impressed by her professional, helpful ‘can do’ attitude. We have only done 4 classes so far, and I am enjoying a s... Read more By Jayne
