I have attended classes run by Lyn with our three dogs. I have found Lyn to be a very knowledgeable and competent trainer and she is also very friendly and easy to get on with. She is a very gentle person and very experienced in dog training and behaviour. All three dogs have emotional sensitivities in one form or another, so, not only is Lyn an excellent all-round dog trainer, but she also completely understands emotions and reads dogs very well and she has made each one feel happy and at ease in class.

The time she spends with me in class means that we are progressing well and nothing is stressful. Her precision with regard to the instructions on clicker training means that the dogs are learning fast. I thoroughly enjoy Lyn’s classes and would recommend Lyn to local dog owners needing clear, friendly, well-structured training advice.

I have known Lyn for approximately 10 years and want to recommend her knowledge and skill in dog training.  While I’ve done work with her long distance, all of her teaching has been accurate and effective.  Because of the depth  of her understanding, and her familiarity with how a dog thinks, she can take a very complicated training issue and make it understandable through the mail!  Her methods are always applicable for the dog she is working with, very motivational without force, resulting in a happy working dog.  I do not know of a case where she was not successful in helping with a training issue.   Whatever  training you are wanting to use her in is probably something that she already has experience with.

I have known Lyn for many years, she is one of the best dog trainers I have had the pleasure to work with. I would and have recommend her to anyone wanting to learn how to train their dogs to a very high standard. Both of my dogs have attended her classes and love going to training. One of my dogs and I attended her ringcraft classes, he has gained many first places at Champ shows and earned a Reserved Challenge Certificate plus his Stud book number with the Kennel Club. I now have a new puppy which has started training with Lyn. I find Lyn to be clear, understandable and above all patient and kind with the owner and dog. She is always ready to answer any questions and is quick to respond either via text, phone or email. My dogs and I look forward to class every week.

I asked Lyn for help with my Great Dane, and found she was excellent. I like the way in which she trains. She is extremely patient, kind, friendly, has a good attitude and uses only kind, positive methods. My Great Dane adored her and we both learnt a lot! Am so glad I found Lyn and would greatly recommend her to anyone

I recently completed a dog obedience course with Lyn. I really enjoyed the classes as did my dog, we had fun whilst learning. It’s a friendly relaxed atmosphere and I found Lyn to be very helpful and extremely patient. Lyn is always quick to respond to any questions via email too which I found to be very helpful she explains things very well and I feel both myself and my dog made very good progress. I was really impressed with the kind methods Lyn used towards the dogs she really understands them and I would thoroughly recommend her as a dog trainer. Thank you Lyn ….. 10/10

I have known Lyn for many years and she is a very well qualified trainer who knows her stuff. She is very committed to her work, she works extremely hard and I would certainly recommend her to anyone

I have known Lyn for many years, she is an excellent dog trainer and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn how to train their  dogs to a very high standard. I have attended her classes with several of my dogs, they always enjoy the class and I come away having learnt something new. My puppy had great fun in the puppy classes, we went on to do the Ringcraft classes and it helped a great deal towards our 2nd place at Crufts in 2011. Her dog Tammy is a shining example of positive, clicker based training. Lyn’s skills are exceptional. Her teaching is very clear, focused and easily understandable, and gets positive results every time.

Lyn is a very creative trainer and definitely value for money.

The rapport I had with Lyn was amazing could not have been better. This is definitely the best thing we have paid out for.

The training was presented in a very clear way, step by step, Lyn was very friendly but professional and respectful. This  training changed my attitude and approach to training. Loved the course and saw a huge positive change in our dog.

As soon as I met Lyn I could tell she was calm, caring and very professional in her manner, this gave me confidence straight away.  Her knowledge of dog behaviour and how best to get them to become calm well behaved pets/companions shone through, I have two dogs a GSD and a Labrador and they both took to her straight away, they sensed her calmness and loved her gentle, quiet way. She had them quite literally eating out of her hand. I found the lesson and information Lyn gave fantastic, she went at my pace of understanding and adapted everything to my personal needs. When she left I was on a high and I can not recommend her enough. Thank you Lyn, best wishes

Another brilliant, friendly, enjoyable puppy course. My pup always has a good sleep after her training which proves that she works hard and enjoys it. Really looking forward to the next one. Thanks Lyn.

Fab fab training – patience and positive attitude, interesting exercises and small classes. 10 out of 10.

The you-tube links are most useful to remind us of our homework.

Keesha has really loved it and we have more to learn than she does. It is a great course,we would love to do more of this.

Chris Capel

All the training has been invaluable so far. With regards to the 1-2-1 training it has been really useful to have the training tailored to what we were struggling with at that time, rather than just following a prescribed programme.

The training could not have been improved.  Everything was clearly explained and Zara (one of TDT trainers) is really professional and has a wealth of knowledge, giving us alternative approaches when something wasn’t working. This has bee a really positive experience.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped train Stanley so far. We will carry on the training as it is really spot on and affordable.

I love Tammy’s Dog Training. All is taught at a pace I can learn from and, in turn, am able to teach Hamish correctly at home.       Melanie Evans January 2025

I have been taking Arlo to Lyn and Zara since Arlo was 8 weeks old.  He turned two in October.  Arlo started with puppy socialization and then continued training  He adores Lyn and loves his sessions and gets so much out of it. We continue to do these once a month. I only need to get to the turnoff to Fareham and Arlo knows where we are going and gets super excited. He has learnt so much not just obedience training but fun/trick things with shaping.  He enjoys the tricks and mini agility fun which is built around his abilities. Lyn is brilliant at the shaping method of teaching. Nothing here is forced its all reward based training and the dogs love it.

 Zara has been a godsend with her nutritional advice (Arlo has been diagnosed with Inflammatory bowel disease and we had an horrendous start the first year and a half with his gut and trying to find something he could eat that wouldn’t cause the regular flare up’s) I really don’t know what I would have done without her and with her help we got him onto a food which he can tolerate after several attempts.  Zara has also helped with training for handling to get him better behaved at the Groomers.  (Yes she is a groomer too)  I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

You could not meet more informative, conscientious, caring people at TDT .  It says it all really, I travel from Waterlooville to Gosport to do training.

We are thoroughly enjoying learning puppy training with TDT. My 11 year old son especially who loves to practice the things we have learnt in class.  Have found it all relevant as I have never owned or been around dogs before.   Thank you.      Sarah and Neil with Hugo.

This course was delivered at a good pace with clear and concise instructions and demonstrations. Lyn has a brilliant method in delivering her course to both dogs and owners. Professional staff were on hand to support and reinforce all aspects of the course.     This was a brilliant course which  Ralphy and us enjoyed.  Thank you Lyn and staff for all your help and support throughout the course.   11th Feb 2025

The puppy socialisation was amazing as pups met each other in a controlled manner. Luna. 12th February 2025.
