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.

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.

Beverly Davies 29 Nov 2024

Excellent training, continued support, friendly patient trainers that are very knowledgeable.

Alison Murray  25th November 2024.

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.

Sean Carter 29th Dec 2024

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. 

Rachael Giles and Arlo 6th January 2025

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.

Having never owned a dog before I found this all so very useful. It fascinates me how, with Lyn’s guidance, the pups just get it.  Emma and Sable Penfold. March 2025.

I have found Lyn’s support, guidance and training invaluable, especially as I am a
first-time puppy/dog owner. I highly rate the training at TDT, and I would not
hesitate to recommend TDT to anyone who owns a dog. Lyn is highly
knowledgeable, professional, patient, adaptive and also a very lovely lady!

Jo. March 2025

So happy we chose Tammy’s Dog Training for our dog training journey. Trainer Zara is great, small classes are perfect and Buddy loves learning.  The method in which things are taught is so clever and shaping is amazing. Everything taught is so useful.

Paula Jankowski and Buddy. March 2025

Everything we have been taught has been very helpful. Lyn is very thorough and always there to answer any questions we have during the sessions and afterwards.  The videos sent to refresh memory after class were most useful. This is our first pup and we have found the course very helpful. Also it is great having the extra staff members there to guide and help, they are a great help also.  Hollie Kendall and Pip. 

Lyn is extremely well prepared in the training she provides. Always the health, safety and welfare of the dogs come first. Her demonstrations, explanations, helpful tips, guidance and support is second to none.

Thanks to trainer Zara for all her help over the past few months, it has been truly invaluable, she is a real asset to your training school.  I would  definitely recommend Tammy’s Dog Training. Sue and Skipper. May 2025.

Tammy’s Dog Training is the real deal. I really enjoy the training sessions and all the techniques used are really useful and effective in training my puppy. I’m super excited to complete the second part of puppy training and going on to other training provided by Lyn.  Dylan Botha June 2025

Thank you so much Lyn and the team. The level one course was incredibly useful and so well taught. I can see this technique coming in useful for so many skills going forward. I would recommend T.D.T. to any new puppy owner. Rebecca June 2025.

Just want to thank Lyn and all the team at Tammy’s Dog Training. Reggie (my very excited cockapoo) started there as a small pup at puppy social and has now completed stage 1,2,3 and some extra classes. He always loves coming to the unit and we have both learnt so much. I really cannot fault the support and training given, it has been so useful.       So just want to thank you for your patience, professionalism and obvious love of dogs – this shines through so much. Karen and Reggie.

Friendly and welcoming place to learn, training here is great.  Interesting experience watching the trainers teaching the puppies.   Laurie Tappenden. Sept 2025

The training was very informative and helpful. I am looking forward to starting the puppy training course.  Jenny Taylor and Billy. October 2025

We found the course very helpful. Over the last five weeks it’s been great to see Doris develop and learn so much. It has also been very helpful for us to learn and understand how to communicate with her and help her thrive and learn safely.         Andrea Marshall and Doris. Zara’s course Oct 2025.

A very good course, informative, well paced and engaging.    Andy Van.   Zara’s course August 2025

I have been with Lyn for over two years now. I first contacted Lyn for some mentorship whilst I was doing my Animal Training Instructor course. I started observing, then worked my way up to a helper, assistant and now I am Lyn’s scent work trainer. Lyn has been so supportive through my journey and I cannot thank her enough for passing on her amazing knowledge  to me. I would not be doing what I do now without her. What Lyn doesn’t know about dog training isn’t worth knowing. If you want mentorship or even if you just want to do it as a hobby look no further than Tammy’s Dog Training. Helen Humphreys December 2025

After seeing TDT’s advert for people to join the Puppy Socialisation classes I got in touch with Lyn. I went to meet her and then started observing classes back in September.I was immediately struck by how much there is to learn about our beloved dogs and I was hooked straight away. Lyn is nothing short of incredible with all dogs (and owners).

I’ve now been volunteering for over 3 months and, wow! I have learned so much. Everyone involved in TDT is so supportive and amiable. Volunteering here has now become part of my routine and I’m so happy I took that step and made contact all those weeks ago.

Puppy Socialisation was very good for Winnies confidence. Found these sessions very useful.  Emily and Winnie January 2026

As a first time dog owner and having a rescue puppy we have found all the training useful. The little tips that Lyn offers throughout the class has been invaluable.  Rusty really enjoys coming to the centre and gets excited waiting to go in.   Rusty and I have learnt so much from Lyn and the team, we are now looking to take even more classes. February 2026

I first met Lyn when I was looking for a trainer for my puppy. It quickly became clear my pup was – and still is – a little challenging, but Lyn was fantastic from the start. Her support and knowledge made such a difference that I wanted to deepen my own understanding of dog training to help my pup succeed. I was lucky enough to become one of Lyn’s helpers at Tammy’s Dog Training over a year ago, and it’s been an incredible journey. Her mentoring has been invaluable, and I learn something new at every session. The whole team at TDT is so supportive, and the atmosphere is always positive – we work hard but have just as much fun as the dogs!  Sarah Smith. February 2026

This has been really useful. Everyone is really friendly and helpful, Denise loves coming, thank you. Katie Hawkins. Feb 2026.

Very helpful in stopping jumping. J.M. Ellis. Feb 2026

Since volunteering as a helper two years ago, I have learned an incredible amount of knowledge about dogs – learning, training and teaching. I started as an observer, went on to be a helper and worked my way up to a TDT assistant as well as becoming a canine first aid instructor.                                                                My confidence with both dogs and people has grown beyond anything I could have imagined. Learning from Lyn has been one of the best things I have ever done and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you don’t think you can do it. I thought the same thing but now have the ability to stand up in front of the class,  help teach, do some training,  talk and work with people I don’t know, understand the learning, offer advise and practice everything I’ve learnt so far with my own dog as well as those who come to the unit….and it’s all thanks to Lyn, her immense knowledge and experience. TDT opened my eyes to a whole new world of dogs and I am so thankful that I am part of a team who share my passion.  Louise Atherton Feb 2026

Lyn is a great trainer of both dogs and people. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to approach with any questions we have. Sabrina Pankhurst March 2026

Zara is amazing. Lady does exactly what Zara wants her to do. She explains everything and is patient with me. These sessions were so much better than expected. Hazel Wordley and Lady. April 2026

Lyn is always there ready to give advice when I have problems. Suzanne Maison May 2026

Each step of the training is explained in a calm way with emphasis on, not just training your dog, but also training yourself. Anything you don’t understand or indeed need more help with is always available. Not having a puppy for 13 years it has been a huge rewarding learning curve for both of us. Lyn is a font of knowledge and has a calm gentle way of teaching. Having been to another training school for a short time Lyn’s methods of teaching are vastly better. Brenda Wiggins May 2026

We’ve learnt more about dog psychology in our TDT sessions than we did in 20 years and 3 dogs worth of beginner training classes. The approach is centred around building solid foundations and a close relationship with your dog. This is our first shepherd breed and she has been very different from our terriers, so the support has been invaluable.         The techniques taught really highlighted the importance of consistency, timing and even subtle things like food placement. Lyn brings humour into every lesson and uses relatable analogies that makes everything easier to remember (I’m still waiting for that £50 note!).         There are always extra helpers at each session, as well as mini photo shoots that beautifully document the journey along the way.  We’re really looking forward to continuing our journey with TDT. Thank you Lyn and the team! Sabine Braines. May 2026

The helpers session was great. I got some hands-on experience and to test my knowledge from the previous courses. This was really helpful and  is a lovely supportive environment.  It was also useful to think through some of the shaping scenarios and see what others did. It is a chance for learning, to share knowledge and is honestly invaluable to both see and to be able to practice. Vicky Wyatt June 2026.

Puppy Socialisation sessions. These were very useful for  learning new strategies and  gaining confidence.  Friendly environment with personable instructor.  Kirsty Draper June 2026

Finding these sessions useful and beneficial. Am bonding with Mabel and the hand touch is very useful.  Simon and Mabel June 2026

Founds sessions very useful. Plenty of tips when things became tricky and all questions answered. Emma Evans. June 2026

I have really enjoyed attending Tammy’s Dog Training. The classes are informative and cover a wide range of things to learn. Lyn is excellent with the dogs and there is always some-one on hand to keep your puppy entertained if needed when you are listening.  The follow-up emails (after every session) are very helpful.  Nicola Payne July 2026

The whole course was most uselful and nothing coud have been improved on.  I appreciate the expertise of yourself and the ladies that work alongside you. I enjoy coming home and putting what you have taught into practise. Valerie loves to learn and enjoys showing off what she’s learnt. We love that she is shattered when she gets home after training and has a long nap – peace and quiet!!!! David Wright July 2026

I find using the clicker really useful . Audrey is enjoying her training and doing well. Hayley Hunt July 2026

I found the follow up emails with the video links very useful, I often looked back over these to recap on what we had done during the session. Lyn is very knowledgeable and calm and the replies to my emails were very quick. July 2026

I love how supportive the environment is and how welcome we felt. Everyone is so supportive and Jax loves exploring the different smells, tunnels, snuffle toys etc.      Altough Jax is not my first dog I am learning so much. I love the way the social sessions are approached and structured. I feel extremely supported, respected and valued.  Michele (TDT helper) has been especially helpful and supportive, as well as the gentleman with the camera (Mick). Thank you so much. Zenobia Pattison August 2026

Really enjoyed taking Doug to his first lot of puppy classes. Lyn’s been great with him, always happy to help. You can definitely see a difference in him from when we first started. Doug is a proper character and can be very excitable at times but Lyn’s shown us some really simple ways of getting his attention and getting him to listen.   He absolutely loves going and get excited as soon as he realises where we are. We’ve enjoyed it just as much as he has and will definitely be carrying on with his training at TDT. Anthony Pawlow and Doug. August 2026

We have found all the training incredible value so far. It has been amazing to see how much Mabel has learnt in such a short space of time and how quickly she applies those lessons at home. Encouraging Mabel to focus on us has been especially rewarding, not only in terms of her training but also as a great way to build a stronger bond with her.  The clicker  has worked particularly well and Mabel really enjoys every aspect of the training, both at home and in the unit.  The lessons are well taught and then backed up with additional information being provided via email for us to refer to at home.   Mabel loves coming to the unit and it is always clear to see how excited she is when she realises where she is. She has learnt so much in a relatively short time and continues to build on those skills at home, which is a reflection of the excellent training and support we’ve received.  Lyn has been fantastic throughout, always on hand to answer questions and offer advise, whether durining lessons or via email between sessions. We are really looking forward to the next stage of the training programme and can’t wait to see how Mabel continues to grow and devolop. Simon Ashwood and Mabel Aug 2026

The weekly handouts and sessions themselves have been excellent. The handouts are clear and easy to follow and understand. As new dog parents all of the information has been invaluable. The shaping concept is also really  interesting. Sam and Tony August 2026

The demonstrations and video links were most useful. Am very happy with the training, great teaching environment and excellent trainer. Adam Gregory. Sept 2026
