We used Puppy Stars nearly four years ago for our Cocker Spaniel - Toby.
Nick Honor is amazing - highly recommend him. 🙂 🙂

Hi Nick,
Tucci is really missing her puppy training classes. We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed them and meeting all the other puppies.

Thanks for your time today in our 1;1 as before it was very informative and insightful to have someone so knowledgeable about dogs available to us.
You certainly reinforced some positive things we are already doing and taught us many new things to try, we will let you know how we get on…
Having such personal feedback on our lovely young cockerpoo will hopefully mean we don’t reinforce any behaviour that becomes a problem… well that’s the idea anyway!

Dear Nick, just to say a massive thank you for your Puppy Intermediate class. I really liked the structure of your classes. The exercises and activities you devised for our dogs were fun and Hector absolutely thrived in each class. Many thanks and I will look out for your next class in May.

In my opinion anyone with a puppy should consider attending one of Nick Honor's puppy classes. He brings to his classes an extensive knowledge of dogs and how they behave. The classes are held in a safe environment; are informative and consideration is taken for each puppy's individual needs. He never forces anyone or their puppy to do anything that they are uncomfortable with. You are shown how to make training fun with your puppy, and in doing so, form a respectful bond with each other. I certainly recommend them.

Excellent start to Wilma's training, she really progressed over the 6 weeks. Only wish we had been able to make all the evenings but will be back for further training soon. Its a relaxed and informative approach by Nick with plenty of tips and suggestions to take away. Wilma will make sure we put them into practice before she agrees to let her owner take the next set of classes!

Just finished our third course, Intermediate, and can’t wait for Canine Life Skills to start in a fortnight. It’s my weekly QT with Maddison and is certainly a great investment �I like the simplicity of one of Nick’s guiding principles ‘dogs do what works for them’ and it helps me focus on what I need to do with Maddie. Thanks Nick and Wendy for all your help and support

Pixie and I have just completed our Intermediate class. I am amazed how much we learnt; the classes were informative, positive and stimulating, with Nick in charge we progressed from week to week, even doing our homework was great fun, we would 100% recommend anyone to take this course, it’s well worth it!

What a great trainer. His patience is legendary and he didn't fall about laughing when he learned I had made the fatal flaw of having two large puppies at the same time! Will be progressing through the training classes with confidence. Thank you, Nick.

excellent. great fun for me and my rather horizontal deerhound. he has become the most friendly chilled out doggy and i can only say it is because i have continued to come to these classes and attempted all the things that Nick has suggested in-between. and its great fun. nearly every dog and person we meet loves him because of what we have learnt AND he has qualified for Crufts. not bad based on his useless owner!

Nick is an excellent trainer and we learned lots. He is a fabulous motivator, for the dog and handler! Class is suitable for those new to dogs as well as for more experienced dog owners. His training methods are kind, patient and fun. Most importantly his methods work and you will have a well behaved dog that comes back when called and does not pull on the lead etc

Excellent class. Nick understands the different breeds of dogs and their different characteristics. Very friendly, fun, professional, willing to help with other issues. We feel we have been trained to train Chloe - in practical simple steps. Now it is down to us!

Nick is the dog whisperer, he instinctively understands them and they in turn are putty in his hands. Excellent class, gave me a greater understanding of my dog, improved my confidence and great fun.

I have completed my puppy and intermediate training with my 6 month Cockerpoo Charlie. Nick who took our sessions was great fun and both Charlie and I enjoyed the classes. Charlie has made great progress, which is showing when he is out of a class room situation. I would highly recommend these classes and even considering going to the advanced class with Charlie later in the year. Thanks one again Nick for all your help and guidance with Charlie.

This is a great follow on class to Puppy Basics. It was really good to reinforce some of the skills learnt in the previous class and then to build on that base to take the training even further. Tess loved the classes and so did we, the follow up emails that we received each week were particularly helpful for practising at home. Nick is so friendly and caring that we felt we could ask his advice about anything that was puzzling us. He always has time to listen and offers lots of practical and useful support - thank you, Nick, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding time for us and Tess.

We are on our third go of this course, because it has been so good and such fun! The methods of training that Nick uses are brilliant and work so well. And it is not difficult. Having grasped the basics at Puppy Basic this is a natural progression to build on what we have already learnt. Foxglove loves going to class and I always go home feeling that it has been a really successful evening. We have learnt so much. Foxglove has taken and passed her Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze and Silver tests at the other training club we go to. She would never have been able to achieve this at the age of 7 months without the training she has been getting and is still getting, at Puppy Stars. The best puppy training courses I have ever been on. I wish I had known about Puppy Stars when my other 3 dogs were puppies. Thanks Nick.
Pat and Foxglove
