REVIEWS

I have just completed the scentwork bronze award with my dog Bella. We had an absolute blast. Juanita is an amazing trainer and explains things so clearly. The course was really good fun and scentwork is so addictive. We are looking forward to coming back soon to do the Silver award. I would highly recommend Juanita to anyone. Thank you. Helen and Bella 🐾

Great trainer for scent work plus tracking plus gun dog work, for all breeds. Always enthusiastic and fully explains tasks, wish I'd found Juanita sooner!

Juanita’s classes are excellent. She presents information clearly and couples this with a detailed email at the end of each class. It’s no surprise she is a leading trainee in her field! Raphael and I have thoroughly enjoyed Bronze and are signed up to start Silver. Juanita is really friendly, accommodating and professional. We feel lucky to have found her! Can’t wait for the next course!

My miniature schnauzer, Inky, has just completed his Bronze trial and the entire course has been a great experience for both of us. Juanita is very patient and makes learning fun for both dog and human. Every class was wonderful and fun to attend and it's done absolute wonders for Inky and given him something fun to do every day. Juanita is a fantastic instructor and I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to doing the Silver course.

Entry level Bronze sniffer training. A wonderful way to learn to work with Ruby our Cocker which enhances the bond between us but provides such a huge source of pleasure particularly during trial week. The weekly training sessions are genuinely looked forward to by both myself and partner who also took part in training sessions. Instruction by Juanita, ably assisted by Vikki is comprehensive, clear & quick fire. Each session is followed up with a briefing email of the days training. Homework is a pleasure as we created the various stances in the house and on the drive which was kind of the instruction we were looking for-how to challenge Ruby. Enjoyed the course so much that we have signed on for the Silver course.

I have 2 working lemon and white cocker spaniels. Joey did scent training all the way through to Gold. Now his little sister Lily has started and just received her Bronze award. She was very attentive in class, hung off every word Juanita said .

We attended Bronze level Sniffer Dog scent training as a way of attempting to tire out a very wired cocker spaniel!!! He absolutely loved the classes and really enjoyed the extra practise we completed at home - constantly looking for where the home kit was! The classes were fantastic, so well explained and encouraging and then the weekly email with guidance on home practise was a real god send for helping us remember what to do. I honestly never thought that Alfie the crazy spaniel would ever concentrate well enough to find a tiny piece of Kong but I was very wrong - found all hides within the times given!!! Thanks Juanita and your team for providing such a great class that we have both enjoyed.

I have really enjoyed learning with Juanita. Arlo thoroughly enjoys the sessions and can’t wait to join in. Using his nose is so enriching he comes home worn out and enjoys playing scentwork games at any time. Juanita’s teaching is clear and positive and supported by excellent resources and follow up summary of the session. I recommend Juanita.

Claire & Arlo (03/08/2023)

Islay, my clumber spaniel, absolutely loves the sniffer tracking classes. She and I have attended various classes with Juanita and she totally understands the clumber spaniel brain! Always happy to highly recommend her.

Karen Rose (03/08/2023)

Our nervous Parsons Russell terrier, Elvi really loved the scent work courses - the pace was perfect for him and lots of fun and it’s a nice venue; Juanita’s teaching style is clear, easy to follow, with positive reinforcement and she is supportive of both dogs and owners. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the course ourselves. We will be back for Gold when we have the time. Juanita herself is a highly qualified and very professional trainer. I always recommend her for all of the courses she delivers.

Carolann Bickerton (03/08/2023)

Amazing! Juanita truly is. My Sheepadoodle, Donald, loved achieving his Distinction Bronze UK Sniffer Dog award. Likewise, his Silver training. Unfortunately he was poorly the day of his exam, but we will be back despite moving 37 miles away! Juanita is that good!

Lyn Roshier (03/08/2023)

My young border collie has attended Juanita's bronze and silver scentwork courses and can't wait to try gold scentwork plus the tracking courses. Her sister has also attended bronze scentwork and is half way through silver. They both absolutely love the courses, where Juanita explains everything so well and follows every class with a written summary. Scentwork is such a useful skill for keeping intelligent dogs stimulated. Juanita clearly loves her job and her doggy pupils and is always positive. We would never go anywhere else.

Emily & Rosie (03/08/2023)

I have attended Bronze and Silver scentwork classes with my two young border collies, and we are really looking forward to taking part in the Gold scentwork course and the tracking workshops. My dogs absolutely love attending Juanita's classes. The scentwork courses have been wonderful at keeping their brains busy. Juanita explains everything clearly and the reasoning behind scentwork, and the tasks are varied and interesting. Juanita clearly loves her job and her doggy pupils, and they respond accordingly.

J H (02/08/2023)

We did sniffer/scent training up to gold level with Juanita. She really knows dogs and how to motivate them, and their owners! It was all great fun and so rewarding for the dogs. I don't think you could find a better instructor. The things we learnt on the courses are still used from day to day when playing games and having fun.

IanS (02/08/2023)

So far we’ve done the Bronze scent work course with Juanita and her team. Great course- pace was perfect; lots of fun; good venue; teaching was clear and supportive. We learnt so much and really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back for silver!

Sherree & Jigsô the Border Collie (01/08/2023)

We loved doing scentwork and tracking with Juanita - having done scentwork up to gold and tracking to silver. Juanita explains things so well and is always very encouraging and positive - even when we got things wrong! Would definitely recommend her and we are looking forward to our gold tracking workshop!

Penny (01/08/2023)

I have used Juanita several times in the past doing tracking and Sniffer Dog work with my Lagotto, we are at the moment doing an advance sniffer dog class as well. Juanita is so good with the dogs in all the classes I have attended, explains things well and guides you through issues when your dog does not quite get what is being asked of him. My dog loves doing the sniffer work and tracking, it really helps wear him out with all the sniffing. Juanita always sends an email every week with an outline of what we have covered that lesson which is very handy for going over it when doing a bit of training at home before the next class. Personally I think she is a wonderful trainer and my dog loves her too. Would highly recommend her for Sniffer work and Tracking and any other training that is required as well.

Joanne Denton (01/08/2023)

High praise from me and Tehya, Juanita trains in a way that not only is fun, easy to understand and positive, but conveys why the training works in a very professional and qualified way. I would highly recommend her for all of the courses she delivers.

Diane Jeffs (01/08/2023)

Enzo has thoroughly enjoyed his scent work classes with Juanita. Every class is explained fully with practice exercises and lots of encouragement. There is always an alternative approach from Juanita if your dog struggles. Great instructor

Julie (01/08/2023)

Been taking my Belgium Malonois, to varies training courses and it is Brilliant, my Dog loves going to them , and Juanita explains everything so well and makes it FUN..we’ve made some doggie friends and Human ones too😁 at the classes. It is very addictive to try all the different classes 😂 Totally recommend Juanitas classes and so would my Dog👍

(01/08/2023)

We completed both bronze and silver sniffer dog course with Juanita. We thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt so much on the way. Juanita’s enthusiasm for sniffer dog training was so apparent and she made every session exciting and challenging for each and every dog, offering support and techniques for us to practice at home. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone

Vicky (01/08/2023)

100% reccomend. I have a small slightly nervous dog who really benefited from sniffer training. Juanita made it seem so easy to learn and had so much extra other good advice. We went in to try agility and a bit of general training too! Our dog just loved it all and was always tired after! Whenever he gets bored at home and its raining , the sniffer training games come out and we have a very happy pooch.

Annmarie (01/08/2023)

We have completed Bronze, Silver & Gold scent detection classes with Juanita and we’ve been blown away with how much our dog has loved it. It’s a really fun course and has given us so many more tools to keep our dog entertained and enriched. By far our favourite training and Juanita is so knowledgeable we’ve been excited to see follow on classes being added to her training so it doesn’t have to stop at gold.

Emma (01/08/2023)

We have done several courses now with Juanita including the Bronze sniffing course. I have to say her training is second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending her. She is brilliant and has this incredible way and understanding of dogs. The Bronze sniffing course was excellent - and i have taken away so many activities that we use frequently.

Carole and Maisie (01/08/2023)

Lovely atmosphere and fun classes. We are taught in an encouraging way and learned so much. Juanita explains everything really well and thoroughly enjoyed our training 😁

Clare Bond (01/08/2023)

Maisie and I have attended all 3 levels for the scent classes and are working through the tracking workshops. We have thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions. Juanita and her team are excellent

Deb Neil (01/08/2023)

I have completed the Bronze and Silver Sniffer Dog classes and am booked in for Gold in September, my Cocker Spaniel Merlin ( who is crazy) loves the classes and gets so excited when he knows where he is going because we both enjoy training with Juanita, I would definitely recommend her as a trainer for her knowledge and patience

Trish (01/08/2023)

I've completed several courses with Juanita with my young spaniel Hobbs. These have included the UK Sniffer dog level 1 tracking, and both Bronze and Silver Scent courses. We are already booked to start Gold and can't wait. Juanita is such a good dog trainer, she really brings out the best in both dog and handler. She makes the courses accessible to all and really works with you to identify your dogs strengths, and where you may need more help. Every aspect of the training is backed up with great communication, including information before you start a course and weekly emails covering what you have done. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Dawn Smith (01/08/2023)

I have completed all the scentwork classes with my dog Louie. All the classes are fun and enjoyable and we have loved working through Bronze, Silver and Gold! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun class with their dog!
