Great support and advice from Mike and Jenny in a timely manner.

Online academy is brilliant: videos easy to follow.


Vicki Spencer, August 2024

I've been learning a lot over the past year and have found them really patient, understanding and helpful while we have been training our assistance dog in training. They always put their hearts and souls into each individual teams learning and makes sure we get the best we can throughout each stage of the awards. The community as a whole, are like family, helping each other through the highs and lows.


Louise Vardy, August 2024

The support that we have received with training my daughter's Assistance Dog in Training, Hazel, has been life changing.

From the general support on the Facebook page, to regular challenge series, enabling us to improve in specific areas, to the weekly training and behaviour Q&A live sessions, to Share your Wins (and struggles), Training Tips Tuesday, and the monthly Assistance Dog workshops.

We have also used the Adolescent Dogs residential training package and it was amazing. Regular contact from our trainer with update videos, photos, and messages about Hazel's progress. Prompt vet attendance when she got a nasty reaction to a bee sting. Fantastic communication and genuine affection for her.

Adolescent Dogs Ltd were just 'there' all throughout lockdown and beyond, even as a life long dog owner I couldn't have predicted the effect on my dog during those years, always going above and beyond not only for clients but their charity work for assistance dogs too - Mike and Jenny are fantastic welcoming people who train owners in how to give their dogs the best life, in the best way :)

Adolescent Dogs are absolutely pawsome! Both Jenny and Mike are highly knowledgeable in their fields of expertise and go above and beyond to help with every aspect of training your dog.

The most helpful company ever! Unbelievably good at what they do, always finding a way to do that little bit extra, brilliant ongoing support, and just the most lovely people. Can’t recommend them highly enough.


Lucy While, August 2021

Puppy classes, online video tutorials, Facebook posts, Q&As, Live demos, residential offerings (which we haven’t tried yet, but plan to) are all there to support dog owners with excellent expertise. Very responsive too. I am so grateful that we found Adolescent Dogs!


Andrea Tyrson, August 2021

Despite planning our pup arrival last year, lockdown started the day we picked her up. Mike & Jenny's online academy was invaluable to our training. My husband was a newby, and I needed to unlearn what I knew and learn a better way to train in sync with my husband. The way they break down training makes it achievable for anyone, and the feedback on how the humans do is fantastic. I can't imagine training with anyone else.


Penny Holroyd, August 2021

I am a new puppy owner and only been with Jenny and Mike for a couple of mo the but their excellent videos and lectures make training so clear and fun. They responded d to questions so quickly with suggestions. And Mike has even offered a one to one lesson for me and my cocker spaniel. They are fun to watch and inspirational to learn from.


Julie Tabone, August 2021

The level of commitment that they show to their members is incredible ensuring that we are all supported whilst accessing the training online, the webinars and for me personally the offer of one to one assistance with my rescue. They make it so simple to understand and if we don’t they put so much effort into supporting us through it. I am so happy we’ve found them x


Catherine Watson, August 2021

I have subscribed to their online dog training and find jenny and Mike knowledgeable and supportive. My dog is 1 year old and whenever we have had any issues with her jenny and Mike have sorted it out with their wealth of advice and positive dog retaining techniques.

They are very friendly, nothing is to much trouble, they both do whatever they can to help you, no question is ever silly and they want you to succeed with your training and will give you all the help and support you need to achieve that. It’s not about the money with them, they genuinely want to help you and are very passionate about what they do!

Louise Moore, August 2021

I joined the Adolescent Dogs VIP online academy which has helped provide structure to my dog training, without which I would have been clueless. They answer any particular concerns I have, either in the large library of training videos available or directly through the Facebook support group.

They work tirelessly helping so many dogs and pups. I can’t praised them highly enough. Truly generous with their time and utterly professional.


Diane Morton, October 2020

My dog, Banjo, received three weeks residential training at Adolescent dogs and it was the best thing I could have ever done for him and us. Would love him to have some further top-up training there.

They’re dog training is superb. Really fantastic organisation.

I have worked through 3 of the online courses that addressed my GSD problem areas . Benson and I enjoyed the activities and he has made great progress .

To be honest the courses have been a God send during lockdown and this troubled year .


Rowena Chapman, October 2020

They are just the best! So supportive and go that extra mile!


Elizabeth Roberts, October 2020

Honestly, Jenny, Mike and their team understand and love dogs! Their residential training is first class. We had peace of mind, through regular updates and videos of Monty whilst he was living with his trainer. We could see he was enjoying himself. During Covid 19 we signed up to their affordable Online Academy which offers video courses with unlimited and ongoing support. It's brilliant. Most importantly Adolescents Dogs don't just train dogs they train their owners!


Catherine Dowler, October 2020

Catherine Rutherford, October 2020

Non judgmental, patient and friendly. The training methods are force free and fun for both dog, owner and the whole family . The after care is amazing.

As someone who works for the NHS the reduced rate for the online courses. Made me feel valued and determined to work hard as I felt I had been given a very generous gift.


Hayley Nye, October 2020

The online courses are great, as well as the weekly live q&a’s, and the fact they are so knowledgeable and responsive if anyone needs any help with certain things. Fantastic tutorials, advice and support, 5*’s all the way!


Claire Chitty, October 2020

They helped me get a fantastic bond with my dog as well as a well mannered schnauzer. The teaching will be forever in me to train. I cant thank them enough.


fiona, September 2019

It was lovely to pick up our two year old dog, Teddy from Kassie yesterday (with Naomi too) and I have to say we are all thrilled to have her back home. Especially because she has come home with impeccable good manners and a generally calmer demeanor, not to mention some brilliant new skills - all of which are a huge tribute to the skills of your trainers, Kassie and Naomi. We feel very lucky to have had both these talented trainers work with our dog over the past couple of years, whilst we have been on holidays. This time, she stayed with Kassie who instantly understood our dog and has provided a wonderful home away from home for her whilst we were on holiday.

I am so grateful to have found Adolescent Dogs and, in particular Kassie and Naomi. Thank you so much for providing such a fantastic service. The training clearly makes our dog feel much calmer, more confident and contented. We simply couldn't be happier with how she has been looked after.

Thank you very much.


Jane, August 2019

I was initially concerned about leaving my e month old puppy with anyone for two weeks.. I found videos of adolescent dogs on line and was very impressed.

My trainer was Rebecca Trotman . What I particularly liked was that Charlie was very much a part of their family as evident by his interactions with her daughters. Rebecca sent regular messages and photos which reassured me that he was in very good hands. Too good really as I was beginning to worry that he wouldn’t want to come home to me!

Rebecca was a very kind and thoughtful trainer. She was very encouraging during the handover and I was delighted with the results. I was so pleased that I have recommended adolescent dogs and Rebecca to other dog owners I have met.
