Reviews of K9Dreamers Dog Training and Behaviour

Jill is a fantastic trainer! I have a background in animal behaviour so I spent a really long time researching which trainer I would like to take my puppy to as I can do a lot of training myself, but I think it's important to have outside input as it gives you a different perspective (particularly when the puppy is not doing what you think it should!). This is where Jill excels as she is extremely knowledgeable about dog training but also has a growth mindset so she is always learning more from different trainers and techniques so she can bring the best knowledge to class. We've had some fascinating conversations about dog training and my puppy loves her classes and Jill. I cannot recommend Jill enough - whether you are a dog training nerd like me or just want a happy well-behaved puppy!

I couldn't recommend Jill enough, she's been so kind and helpful in getting us started with our puppy. The 1:1 session we had with her was so beneficial, it really helped us work out what we needed to focus on and gave us some really good tips on getting started. So far we have attended 1 of the puppy classes as well, and we are really excited to continue working with her! If you're in the market for puppy classes or someone to help you with your dog, K9dreamers is the place to go!

Jill has been an absolute lifeline for us - our pointer/labrador Alfie is now nearly 11 months old and we've been going to her training classes since he was 4.5 months old. Her advice is always spot on, and she's so encouraging - even when we're having a tough week, she's supportive and has a wise word. Even if it's just to remind me that "he's only young, he'll get it!" Her leaflet on disengagement has become our Bible - thanks so much for all your help so far, Jill!

Jill from K9 Dreamers is absolutely amazing! I'd never had a dog (let alone a puppy) before - but Jill has been brilliant so far. I definitely recommend the pre-puppy 1:1 sessions - they have been worth their weight in gold and have highlighted SO many things that I hadn't even considered before the arrival of pup! Monty and I are very much looking forward to joining the puppy training classes in a couple of weeks and showing off our 'sit', 'down' and 'turn'! Thank you Jill!

I found Jill at K9dreamers very helpful and patient with my head strong terrier puppy, Zack. Jill's classes are small so that dogs don't get too excitable. Every owner then has a chance to put their dog through their training. Jill is also on hand via phone or email if you have any concerns with your pet. I would highly recommend these classes for dog owners with new puppies, dogs with issues or rescue dogs.

Jill is such a lovely lady, I have learnt a lot about my puppies behaviour and how I can help manage his anxiety and calm him down to become the best pup, also have learnt exciting tricks! Me and pup are both very happy with the service Jill provided and her knowledge is amazing. Definitely worth speaking to Jill if you need help or some training lesson with your new puppy or dog!! Highly recommend

Jill provided a very helpful and informative 1-to-1 session with us and our puppy. We learnt a lot about reading him and recognising his emotions, as well as new training techniques which we have been trying out and we've seen impressive results already! We're now also booked on for a puppy training course with Jill and we're really looking forward to it.

We adopted our beautiful Yogi, a cross Collie/Shepherd in August 2020 from Bosnia, and he was approximately 18 months old. He was neither lead or house trained, just a massive ball of undisciplined fun! We took Yogi to his first training class just 2 weeks after his arrival, and my husband and I decided that we too both were in need of training, and attended a class each with Yogi, one on a Wednesday night, and one on a Friday night. Jill has an phenomenal knowledge of dogs, and advised not only on training, but any other aspect of canine care that we were struggling with. Nothing was too much trouble, and during lockdown, when classes were forbidden, Jill started a WhatsApp group, where she would discuss any problems we were having, and support all of her pupils in the continuing training of our dogs. We worked through our exams, Bronze, then Silver, and finally 2 weeks ago we succeeded in passing Gold, much to my surprise, but not Jill's. We are continuing to attend classes, and Jill is now giving us further objectives to achieve. An unbelievable achievement in just 10 months! We now have a well behaved, very happy rescue dog. On a public forum, can I say thank you very much Jill for your help in Yogi's training. Your depth of knowledge on all aspects of canine training and welfare is enormous, and has proved invaluable.

Jill devised some 1:1 training sessions for my lively Ridgeback puppy. In the first session some key points for development were identified and we concentrated on these.Jill provides perceptive and useful feedback on our progress during the sessions and follows this with a clear, written .summary and further guidance for our continuing development. This written feedback is very helpful, you are able to consider it carefully after the session. Jill creates a calm, very supportive atmosphere which is really encouraging. We are finding the sessions extremely useful and I highly recommend Jill, she is a highly professional trainer.

Jill has been an enormous help to us throughout the process of getting our new puppy. She is always interested and engaged, very knowledgeable and clearly loves dogs. She has been really bought in to helping us make things work which has been a real game changer! I don't think we could have done it without her so massively appreciated :)

K. C.

I would highly recommend K9 Dreamers for anyone looking for puppy classes or 1:2:1 sessions. Jill's wealth of knowledge and caring guidance were so beneficial to our training journey. We have learnt so much. Thank you Jill!

We found Jill online after googling ‘positive puppy training’, there’s so much out there but Jill gave us a focused mission and reassurance, amazing preparation documents kindly posted through, a book to help us and she really taught us so much when she came! She even taught him ‘sit’ and ‘wait’ in the first session! Everything she’s told us has worked, he does business outside, sleeps through the night, let’s us leave the room and most importantly is happy, settled and calm and we’ve only had him a week! Thank you Jill. We really trusted you because you had such a positive and kind attitude and we are so, so grateful! We have a calm, obedient and happy pup!!!

We found Jill through a local forum and she came to visit our new arrival to assess what help we may need and to start us on the right track. She was calm and methodical and explained some good starting blocks for Alfie, nothing huge, just some small steps to take towards getting him listening to us, walking on the lead, sit and stay commands and a bit about the dog psyche. We signed up for classes but these are obviously postponed for now, however Jill has stayed in touch, continues to give advice, lent us a book and has some very useful links and guidance on her various social media sites. We are obviously really looking forward to 'proper training' but have made a decent start with 'virtual' advice.

I contacted Jill Timms with some distress about my Working Cocker's increased aggressive/defensive behaviour towards other dogs, and also people passing on the pavement. Jill was immediately responsive and throughout she always responded fully to my emails within a few hours. She helped me analyse the source of the increased defensive behaviour - workmen parked outside the house for weeks, and constantly going backwards and forwards to their vans throughout the day, increasing his threshold of arrousal. She sent me a lot of background material and then paid a two hour visit to discuss the problem. Following her analysis I bought more toys for the dog, to engage him during the day, and also started to follow guidance for pre-emptive discipline when we met another dog: sit, make eye contact, use beef jerky (easily held in the hand) as a distraction. Within a few days there was a great improvement in my dog and friends commented on how much calmer he had become. Right from the start I felt I could trust Jill to help me every step of the way and I intend taking her training classes even though my dog is nearly 4 years old and actually very obedient, I feel he will benefit from being in close interaction with other dogs in a controlled environment, and I will continue to get tips on making our lives more relaxed and enjoyable.

Jill has been teaching us how to train our dog Honey. We have benefitted hugely from her expertise. She is kind and endlessly patient, always willing to give that extra help if there is something you are struggling with. I would highly recommend Jill as a dog trainer, we have learnt a lot and are involved in ongoing training which is both useful and fun to do.

E. I.

Jill gave helpful step by step advice. More importantly got to know us and our puppy and listened to our needs. Good sessions where you had time to build confidence and understood each breed

We have met Jill only few weeks ago but as soon as she came to visit us she was very friendly and relaxed with our dog and the 4 of us. So far she has been very reliable and helpful. We are looking forward to more training with her and our Kia that is a year old rescued dog from Macedonia.

Jill at K9Dreamers has been an absolute star in guiding my wife and myself to get the best out of dog Reggie. Always there with help and advice over any behavioural issues, this has been great help especially during lockdown. Jill continues to push both myself and my dog to become a strong unit. I know with K9Dreamers help we will continue developing new skills and understanding for both my fur baby and I. ATB Tim

We had a great vertual training session with Jill Timms yesterday via FaceTime! Before the call she did a full consultation via email and even took the time to watch videos of our puppies showing our main concerns. We now have lots of useful sheets and information as well as a personalised plan of everything we covered and what we need to do going forward to make sure we have happy, confident, well mannered pups! We we’re really missing puppy classes and worrying that we weren’t doing things ‘right’ at home. But now we fully feel on the right track and have plenty to work on during this very odd time! Thank you Jill! Would highly recommend!!

Jill is a very knowledgable and helpful behaviourist and trainer, a lovely person that truly cares for dogs and wants to help both dogs and owners live their best lives together. Would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for help on any problems or issue they might have.

I approached Jill to help with my cocker spaniel puppy. She was very prompt at getting back to me, i had recieved emails, a phone call and documents all within 24hours. Lots of great training tools that we can practuce at home and when we are out and a out. Jill has been a great help so far, very informative and professional. She clearly has alot of experience and knows her stuff. I look forward to working with her more in the future and would highly recommend her

Having completed foundation and moving on to Bronze puppy training, I’d happily recommend Jill. I’ve found the classes to be really friendly, comfortable and reassuring and Jill has been really kind in giving us lots of advice in class and over the phone.

J. R.

Jill is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and has most recently helped me with regaining our recall after a bit of training regression. Jill has many useful documents and info contained in her blog too, it's really handy to have these to refer back to. Thank you Jill.

B. S.

Jill has been very helpful with good suggestions for my crazy 7 month old GSD/Lab. Loads of notes and a long phone call, along with a possible meet up as well. Thanks Jill!

P. T.

I have been impressed seeing Jill set up the K9Dreamers dog Training and behaviour business. She is fully committed to all the dogs and the owners, wanting to see the best for both.

D. R.

One to one session was very informative. There is so much to remember with a new puppy and the sessions helped so much. The training is helping me to be more confident in teaching my puppy to be the best she can be. Thank you so much for all your help.

C. D.

Jill's advice is very clear and broken down to into manageable pieces. I will be making this a regular occurrence! Thank you

D. B.

Lyra and I are working with Jill right now. Our 121 session was full of wonderful advice, guidance and an abundance of exercises, all written down, for us to work on together to ensure we achieve my aim: to have a well behaved, calm and happy dog. I would happily recommend Jill as she has so much personal experience and knowledge gained over a period of time, and as a behaviourist she is able to give you insight into why your dog is behaving as she is, and then provides the how, for you to adjust, should you need to.
