Barkleys Dog Training Academy

We’ve used Barkleys Dog Training Academy for a few classes now and really appreciate the trainers experience and knowledge when it comes to dog training and behaviour. Their ethical and force-free approach is what every trainer should strive for, and using reward-based training and positive reinforcement is something we learned and fully embrace even now with our dog to get the best from her. Fully recommend Barkleys for anyone looking to use one of their wide range of training programmes.

I chose Barkleys Dog Training Academy in Wakefield for training my Labradoodle because they are passionate about using force-free, positive reinforcement and reward based methods to help dogs thrive. The team were fantastic and my dog responded really well to the positive training and really importantly it helped us make a really strong bond with her. My dog is now a happy and well behaved pup!

We first got involved with Barkleys to help with a strong, pulling Labrador. We worked with Abbie and she taught us how to use positive techniques and different approaches to get it so he will now walk lovely. We have also been to some of their classes with both my boys and then done the scent detection course which my lab loved. If any courses come up in the future that either of my boys would benefit from we’d not hesitate to book them on. They both now attend daycare and I have no concerns leaving them there as I know they are in the best hands.
