Graeme Hall's review, aka The Dogfather
"It’s easy to recommend, it’s a local independent business run very professionally by Chelsie Grieve. As well as being a thoroughly nice person to get along with, she’s unusually adept at handling all kinds and sizes of dogs with ease (and in a caring way).
She worked with me 2014-15 running Dogfather classes which makes her one of the few people I’ve trusted to represent the Dogfather brand. These days she’s the only person who walks my Rottweiler Gordon when we’re away and we need a little extra help. Choose her. You won’t go far wrong!”

"As a multi award winning dog behaviourist I am very aware that getting the right start in life with the right puppy training / classes is a very important part of the process to avoid possible problems down the line. With this in mind I would highly recommend Chelsie and her classes - it’s rare to find classes this good!"

Buddy has benefited immensely from working with Chelsie 1-2-1 and attending various training courses with Alpha Dogs.
I highly recommend and wouldn’t think twice to call on Chelsie if we need her again! Her support and advice has been invaluable.
Lupin has completed both the heel and recall training with Chelsie, and the progress he has made is amazing!
We have gone from feeling very stressed on our walks to them being a great experience. We couldn’t recommend Alpha Dogs more!

Our 22 month old Labrador, Bert had puppy training with Chelsie at 12 weeks old. This training is so simple and we put the hard work in by following this simple programme and we now have an amazing dog. From waiting at the kerb side, to impulse control, recall and general commands. Bert is such an all round fun and loving boy. This is all down to the training Chelsie gave us. We just had to be consistent and repetitive. Bert loves Chelsie as much as we do.
Highly recommend Chelsie for training you to train your best friends 🐾🐾🐾

I took part in the beginner class in January with the whirlwind that is River! Both River and I benefited from the classes, she is now calmer and more controllable in the house. I have recently had an ankle operation and being able to get her to settle in place has been extremely advantageous for me! I have had friends and family walk my dogs whilst I’ve been out of action, so I am anticipating lots of work when I’m back on my feet, however, I’ve already booked River in for the recall classes as she’s a little diva when it comes to that, following that, the advanced heel work is in my sights! I’m looking forward to learning more with Chelsie and would 100% recommend!
We did the recall class with Alpha Dogss and thoroughly enjoyed it and best of all improved her recall. Highly recommend .

Chelsie is an excellent trainer and runs well organised and managed dog/puppy classes, as well as 1-2-1's. I have done the classes and regularly do 1-2-1's. She has really helped my 2.5 year old who has been extremely hard to leash train, but now helping the new puppy (who just seems to get it), but also training them together. She tailors techniques to your dogs and lifestyle, for what you want to achieve with your dogs. I have tiny Maltese, one getting over being reactive and I trust no one walking my dogs ever, except Chelsie. She helps build your confidence and training you as the owner in techniques that really are a game changer.

"I went on my first pack trail 2 weeks ago, and Chelsie was so calm, knowledgeable and confident with all the dogs, I was seriously impressed. I then booked a one-to-one training session with Chelsie, which has transformed the behaviour of my Staffy. Chelsie gave me the tools and understanding to teach my dog exactly what behaviours I do and don't want, and my dog was so quick to learn. Chelsie is a true miracle worker with dogs, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! 100% recommend!"

I have had two sessions on the beginner course with Alpha Dogs and, aside from the fact that Clemmie loves it, the techniques I'm learning are really helping make her listen to my commands.
Knowing there is ongoing online support when I'm not in class is also good to know too. I will definitely look into the other classes on offer!
