We have now known Laurence and Pat for about 12 months after they began training our slightly over-excitable young cockapoo cross Amber – the transformation has been excellent. They are both extremely experienced and knowledgeable about dogs but also highly passionate and committed in their love of them. Amber has home boarded with them several times and we can rest assured that she is having the most fabulous time! In the summer they run brilliant agility classes – a great way to focus Amber’s energy and to challenge her.
ACGNS run a number of courses and my mother and I attended the ACGNS Canine First Aid course last Sunday. What can I say – EXCELLENT! Very well presented, informative, engaging and fun as well! I would recommend it most highly to anyone with a dog, they are after all our ‘best friends’ and I now feel far more confident that I would be in a much better position to help mine or anyone else’s dog if the need arose. Well done Laurence & Pat!

Brilliant Scentwork course at ACGNS, thank you Laurence & Pat 👍🏻 Super informative & interesting 🐾👃🏻
Bonni & I have been practicing in the garden, not quite perfect yet but a good start! ☺️😉💜 x

We have just collected Fergus and Cassie after a short stay with Laurence and Pat. We usually put them in kennels when we go away and it takes them a few days to adjust to home life when we return. This time, thanks to Laurence and Pat sticking to their usual routine and treating them as part of their family, they settled straight back in. Our dogs had a brilliant time at ACGNS and keep asking when our next holiday is so they can go back. They are professional and highly qualified dog trainers/handlers whose love of animals shines through. It is great to be able to leave your dogs in such safe and caring hands. A big thank you to Pat and Laurence from Greg, Amanda, Fergus and Cassie xxx

Laurence and Pat were recommended to us a couple of months ago and the transformation in our overly excitable spaniel cross Amber has been amazing even in that short time, with her recall and attention being so much better. They run agility classes on a Saturday morning at their fantastic facilities and these are great fun for both the owners and the dogs. Amber is able to learn new skills in a very safe environment and improve her general obedience and concentration at the same time. Both Laurence and Pat are very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviour but more importantly have a lovely way with both dogs and their owners, making everyone feel more confident and at ease. Amber is my Mum’s first dog and Laurence has massively helped her to be more confident in dealing with her. Laurence walks Amber twice a week and she is always delighted to see him, which is testament in itself! Pat also makes lovely healthy organic doggie biscuits which Amber absolutely adores! We can’t recommend All Canines Great and Small enough!
