We had our first introduction to mantrailing. I was nervous and excited. Sandra is just brilliant at supporting you and your dog to get the hang of it. We will be doing more. I think it has lots of potential to build my labs confidence, and it was a joy for me to watch my dog work, use his brain and have so much fun. It tired him out, he has endless energy and was so settled well into the next day after our introduction workshop. Met lots of like minded dog lovers too. Totally recommend it!

We have a one year old miniature schnauzer that was restless, would not settle unless on someone, had become petrified of her crate and would constantly bark for attention. She had started to become reactive towards other kids, babies and strangers who would come in the house. We had an initial phone chat with Sandra to explain the situation and we were delighted when she said she would help us out (we had to be committed to the cause and I can assure you we were/still are!!) Sandra came to the house to observe Juno’s behaviour and could instantly recognise what we needed to get Juno to become more content in her own home, we got some quick wins and some tools which would require continuous work and patience but we are already seeing the hard work pay off. We now have a dog who no longer barks for attention, sleeps in her crate voluntarily and can settle and be calm while our 5 year old son is not! Such a positive experience with Sandra from being reassuring on the phone, non judgmental for the errors we had made previously, ensuring we understood her techniques and making us accountable on our part of the training. We really appreciate the time, effort and dedication Sandra gives to her clients. We are now focused on her reactivity to strangers and with Sandra’s tools/techniques we are confident this can also be overcome by repetition and consistency. We cannot recommend Lothian Dog training highly enough!

Sandra was recommended by a trusted friend, who has worked with her before, after I had a very difficult experience when my 18 month Collie X had an overreaction outburst on a walk. It properly shook my confidence in being able to take my dog out for fear she would get into another similar situation. I did not know what to do but I knew I needed help. From the very first phone call, I was encouraged to share as much detail about what had happened, what had changed and what our experiences were around my dog's triggers. After our first in person meeting, Sandra tailored our training plan to suit me and the dog to ensure I was able maintain consistency and give us both opportunities to rebuild our confidence on walks again. While other training often focuses solely on what the dog is doing, Sandra takes a coaching approach with owners to make sure they succeed with their dog. Sandra has given me an entirely different perspective on my dog, on my relationship with my dog and how to continue to strengthen our bond. The reassurance and support Sandra offered has helped me through one of the trickiest patches I've experienced. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her as we progress into new challenges.

I have been attending mantrailing and scent classes with my Belgian Shepherd Laekenois for well over a year. Over this time my dogs confidence has soared and reactivity towards people has, as a result, practically disappeared. Her (fear) reactivity to dogs she didn't know has also reduced and is continuing to do so. This is mainly due to intensive training to a plan and set of strategies agreed with and under the direction of Sandra. This has had a huge impact on the quality of life for both me and my dog. My dog is doing great!

I started training with Sandra during lockdown. We had weekly training classes. Sandra emailed videos after the class and was on email if I had any questions. I now mantrail with Sandra and my 2 dogs. I think I enjoy mantrailing as much as they do. I would highly recommend Lothian Dog Training.

I turned to Sandra for help when I could no longer cope with my fearful and reactive 18 month old dog. Over six weeks she taught me, as much as my dog, to understand and cope with his fears and reduce his reactivity, enabling us to have much more peaceful and happy walks. We met face to face every couple of weeks and Sandra was fully available if I had any questions or concerns between these meetings. She also provided instructional videos to follow and practice. Murphy and I still have a way to go, but she has given me the confidence and techniques to help him. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with a reactive dog.

My wee retriever and I had the best time at the introduction to mantrailing. Sandra was amazing. She gave really clear instructions, which I need & was so supportive and encouraging. Bronte loved learning a new skill, she got so much enjoyment out of it, it was great to see. We’d both highly recommend and can’t wait for another session.

I did the Introduction to Mantrailing workshop with my shepherd boy, and it was absolutely brilliant - Sandra explained everything so clearly and was so supportive. My boy had the best time; we will definitely be back!

Sandra helped us with training our 2 year old cockapoo online over the course of 6 weeks. We needed support with Mousey’s recall and Sandra did amazing at talking us through various exercises. The training via zoom proved to be exactly when we needed- both us and Mousey were very engaged and not having an extra person around got Mousey to focus from the very beginning. The exercises we did each week varied and built up from what we learnt previously. Sandra was very attentive and invested in Mousey, always following up with detailed notes and video recordings of the sessions. We definitely recommend Sandra and would use her services again in the future:) thank you Sandra, Mousey has got much better at coming back to us!

Sandra has trained me and my dog!! I had an unengaged dog with no recall who was difficult to walk on the lead and impossible to walk off the lead. Sandra has succeeded where four other "trainers" failed!! I only wish I had found Sandra sooner. Her level of professionalism is top notch (with many certifications to verify that) and her service included recaps of the physical lessons with helpful tips. This enabled my dog and I to continue the good work between sessions. I highly recommend Lothian Dog Training.

My dog and I completed a mantrailing beginners workshop with Sandra and absolutely loved it. Sandra was professional and friendly, her love for dogs really showed. She responded so quick to all enquiries and was really helpful when I needed to borrow some equipment. We had so much fun and my dog learned a lot. Really looking forward to continuing more training.

We found Sandra at the best possible time for us and our GWPs. She has given us the skills, training and understanding to enjoy our dogs, help them to relax and enjoy walks and games. Thank you Sandra, we are so grateful to you. 😍

I’ve done the Zooming Recall course with Sandra, which improved my dogs recall and his engagement with me, to the point that I trust him to be off the leash again. Sandra has also helped us out with some of Data’s behaviour problems at home. She’s very knowledgeable and responsive. I don’t know where we’d be without her. Last but not least Sandra has introduced us to Mantrailing - this is now something that both Data and I love and can’t live without! Highly recommended!

Sandra has truly been a lifeline, helping Clancy through terrible "teenage" phase. She has worked with us to find what works for him (not easy at times!) on recall, confidence building and focus. A genuine expert in all things dog.

I have just completed a Zoom Recall Training course, which took place one evening a week for 3 consecutive weeks. Despite being online the course was fantastic and being at home is the best place to start training with your dog, away from distractions. We made great progress, none of which would have happened without the course. It was interactive, engaging for the dogs and fun. The accompanying course notes and videos are great too. I cannot recommend Sandra enough - she is really knowledgeable and incredibly helpful, tailoring things during the training sessions to meet the needs of the individual dogs and guiding the owners on how best to approach things.

Wonderful introduction to mantrailing by Sandra. Everything explained clearly at the beginning and great encouragement and support throughout the session. Tas loved it!

We're making progress managing two very barky miniature dachshunds, thanks to Sandra's clear and comprehensive advice. And had great fun at an excellent introduction to Mantrailing, and very proud of how well our dog took to it.

G. M.

In only a few months Sandra has managed to guide us and our 6 year old GWP towards achieving what we previously thought was not possible! A pleasure to work with, with a wealth of knowledge and experience, it's clear that Sandra genuinely cares about solving our issues. Walking and training our dog is no longer a chore; it's a highly enjoyable experience!

Fantastic experience at intro to Mantrailing today. Sandra able to read my dog and make sure he had a very positive, happy experience. I could see his confidence growing in a short time. Would highly recommended, would give more than 5 stars if I could and I am sure my dog Bax would agree.

The Mantrailing workshop with Sandra was very enjoyable and informative, it was interesting to watch my dog work with his Scent skills.

E. S.

Just completed a 3 week recall course via Zoom. It was great fun and the accompanying notes and video links invaluable. Sandra is very knowledgeable and professional and delivered the course with humour. The content will not only help with recall but dealing with many different scenarios when out walking. Definitely recommend.

G. M.

The Zooming Recall class was very useful. Sandra is very professional and has a lot of experience and knowledge. Would highly recommend.
