    Dean provides both dog walks and one on one training for our 7 month old mastiff puppy – his service and knowledge is truly second to none! He’s brought training back to the basics and I know we will have a great behaved dog on the lead in no time. I cannot recommend enough

    TRAINING WITH TED
    I was looking for a trainer who has experience with bull terriers. Believe me this is a task in itself, as there isnt many out there! I needed help with how to walk Ted and for him not pull my arms out. I reached out to Dean at Bathminster after finding his website and Facebook page. He came round to the house to meet our boy Ted and do an initial assessment of him. He soon realised that Ted has massive anxieties and is scared of the world. Dean has supported and shown me how to help Ted, by calming his anxiety in certain situations and to have a pleasant walk together. We still have a long way to go, as unfortunately it isn’t a quick fix but
    Dean as the the skill set and knowledge to train any stubborn bullie (and owner!). We’ll be forever grateful for all his support.
    I would highly recommend Dean if you need help with training your pooch.

  • Richard Reading

    Deans training has been great for our reactive dog. He always explains the sessions & why we are doing what we are doing. His manner is calm & reassuring & on our dog walks now I’m starting to feel like I’m in control rather than the dog!!
    Highly recommend

    If you’re looking for straight talking , honest, practical, but realistic support and advice, you’re at the right place.
    We have a 2 year old Border collie Huntaway Cross. She’s a beauty but was totally controlling us. We had no boundaries in place, but with the help of Dean, we are starting to see the dog we always knew she was, by him showing us how to take back control.
    He’s not only helped us to train our dog but has trained the whole family.
    Fantastic trainer , Fantastic approach.

  • Julie Lloyd

    Training has been going really well, we’re over the moon with the progression so far, my dog is a rescue and hasn’t been trained previously but Dean has tailored his training to suit us, our dog was very reactive towards other dogs and dean bought his own dogs along to train ours in the best way possible. Thanks again much appreciated

    TRAINING

    Absolutely fantastic training, it has genuinely changed our lives and brought back all the enjoyment to going out and about on walks with Pippa, our 10 month old Border Collie. Thank you so much to Dean, he is brilliant at just observing and very quickly identifying the triggers to why Pippa is so reactive to cars and other stimuli around us and more importantly, helping to provide me with the insight, the tools and the confidence to help Pippa to overcome her anxiety and to engage with me instead of all the other distractions. Dean worked me hard and I am thankful for that as I see amazing results when I put his coaching into practice. He also genuinely cares for Pippa and for mine & Pips relationship and nothing was too much trouble, always on hand to help in between sessions and often checking in to see how we are doing. I couldn’t recommend Dean highly enough. He helps to explain things to me in a way that is so easy to understand, relate to and that sinks in so when we come across an obstacle I instantly remember how Dean explained it to me in Pippa’s world. If you need help with your furbaby don’t hesitate to see how Dean can help you, it is well worth the investment and amazing value for money. Thank you again Dean!

    Since using Dean @ Bathminster for training.

    Personally, I feel so much more confident in my knowledge, in my ability to manage my 10 month old Labrador in any situation.

    In terms of him, my boy Hugo. He is not so much more calm and balanced. He now walks well by my side. But even when given lead and told “go on then” he doesn’t pull like a train. He walks gently ahead, sniffing and just being a dog.

    How he greets other dogs now, is with restraint and calmness.

    If off lead, I can manage his behaviour if he gets a little ahead of himself. Plus he’ll come back to me when called without issue.

    In our home, Hugo now no longer wrecks property when left alone. And the crate training has been a godsend. And he sees the crate as a place of relaxation.

    I’m so grateful to Dean for what he has helped me and Hugo to achieve.

    It’s such a joy being a confident and competent dog owner and leader as Dean would say.

    Fully recommend Dean for any training requirements.

  • Lindsay Harris

    Great experience at Bathminster Doggy Day Board. Extremely professional with a calm and confident manner, and very experienced with breeds which need that little bit extra. Tui thoroughly enjoyed herself and at the same time is learning some valuable manners from Dean and his team 😉. Thank you!

  • Jack Pugh

    Excellent service from day one, our dog absolutely loves it! Couldn’t recommend them enough!

  • Karan “Karanb” Brant

    Michelle and Dean are so lovely and their house is tailored around the dogs. My boy always comes home worn out but very happy. I completely trust that my dog is in safe hands. I highly recommend their service. They offer day care and also boarding, which I will also do with them in the future.

  • Alison Harrington

    Every thing about this doggy day care is fantastic. I’ve never left my dog in a place like this before as she’s always been with a family member. But I will definitely take my dog back. In fact I’m going to book her in for one day a week as it would be good for her to socialise. Dean really knows hs stuff and was so reassuring. And I also loved the daily updates of how she was settling in. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

  • Phil Pountney

    Dean has worked with us to get our Labrador Teddy walking well on his lead, improving recall, wait and helping us become leaders. Teddy has learnt fast as Dean is a great trainer and communicator.

    No longer do we get super stressful on dog walks. During our sessions, Dean has shown us techniques that Teddy responds really well to and it’s really a joyful moment when you and your dog are working in harmony!

    We would highly recommend Dean for anyone looking for an experienced trainer with a no nonsense refreshing approach which worked great for us and Teddy. Cheers for all your hard work Dean.

  • Roisin Jones

    We’ve used Bathminster both for their doggy day care, and for one-to-one training sessions for our dog Woody and I can’t praise them highly enough. Dean and Michelle are brilliant, we did a meet and greet before taking Woody to the day care, we were really nervous about it but they both put us completely at ease. The day care they have created is a really relaxed, fun and safe environment for the dogs, and they give regular updates throughout the day.

    The one-to-one training with Dean, is literally one of the best things we’ve done as dog owners. Dean is incredibly knowledgeable and so in tune with Woody’s body language and is able to read this and explain behaviours. I’ve seen an almost instance change in Woody’s behaviour on walks since the training, Woody now notably looks to us for instructions, and it’s great to be able to take our dog for a walk rather than the other way round. Dean is really calm, able to handle situations without stress and has a non-judgemental approach to training, with the dogs welfare always as the priority.

    100% recommend Bathminster day care and training, thank you Dean and Michelle! 👍

  • Janine Wright

    What can I say? Absolutely amazing! Reliable, hard working and committed trainer who listens and delivers without the need for a second mortgage. I’ve had more than one trainer, none of them delivered to level Dean has with our Foxhound who had limited recall. It’s so nice to be able to let our dog off lead without worrying he’ll run off. Thank you Dean, we’ll back soon for more enhanced training.

  • Tom Lewis

    Michelle and Dean are absolutely lovely, the way they prioritise the dogs is very reassuring and amazing. I am a very nervous dog dad and can honestly say i can’t fault them. It has been a pleasure to use you guys and will definitely use them in the future.

  • Bethan Siân Tolley

    Really happy with Dean and the team with how well they looked after our dog whilst we moved house. So reliable and really lovely updates throughout her time there. Also really good value! Our dog came home tired from all the fun and walks she had, and Dean messaged me back almost instantly if there were any issues. Really pleased with their service and will definitely be booking again soon!

  • wendy Stone

    We started using Bathminster Day Care when I’d had hip surgery which prevented me from walking our beloved Vizsla.. We found Dean & Michelle to be very knowledgeable & caring and we instantly felt secure that they were the right choice. We get regular videos and updates and can see clearly how all of the dogs interact and enjoy their time at Bathminster.. We will continue to use on a regular basis after my hip has healed as we feel our dog really enjoys the interaction she gets here.

  • Casey Austin

    Dean is amazing, buddy has been so much better since going and he has only been 4 days. He has patience and very professional to not just the dogs but their owners to. Always offering to be there if ever needed 24/7 to me that shows pure dedication and inspiration. If u want a welcoming loving day care for your pooch, then Bathminster is the place 🐶🐕 xxx

  • Kim Owen

    I cannot recommend Bathminster Doggy Day Care enough. My two dogs go there and they absolutely love it! Dean sends us regular updates throughout the day of them in the field and socialising with the other dogs at day care. My one dog is very anxious but Dean has been great at getting him to be more comfortable and confident. I’m so glad I have found somewhere that treats my dogs as their own. Thank you Dean and Michelle! 🐶🐶🐶

  • Kellie Vanes

    Dean is an amazing, motivated and inspiring dog/dog owner trainer. Perfect balance of treat and structure reward based training. We left each session with a new set of tools to train with. We have seen tremendous progress from one session to another. Excellent value for money. Dean has so much experience to share, he checked in with us in-between sessions and even sent us a couple of instructional videos to recap on. We will not hesitate to use Bathminster Doggy Day board in the future, also.

  • Megan Stewart

    As a pretty nervous dog owner, I felt totally reassured when Murphy came over to play for half a day of doggy day care! He’s now been for two half day sessions and I can already see improvements in his confidence – I can’t wait to see how he continues to grow and enjoy his time here in the new year.

    Its been such a great help to prevent Murphy being bored at home all day while we work, so I couldn’t be more grateful for Dean and Michelle at Bathminster. And the regular updates on their adventures is wonderful!

    Dean has been really great in providing solid advice to help improve Murphy’s (and my!) bad habits at home, so we will definitely be taking him up on an offer for a 1 to 1 obedience session soon too.

    Thank you both so much – 100% recommend!

  • Jodie Jones

    Absolutely fantastic place. My dog is looked after and cared for from the moment I drop him off until I pick him up. I have regular picture and video updates throughout the day so I am totally reassured he is happy. Couldn’t recommend it more.

  • Gemma Griffin

    Well what can i say, owning an 8yr old pup and that pup being a staffordshire bull terrier (unfortunately not many folk like this breed) my anxiety was through the roof when considering doggy daycare. My pup has never stayed in boarding kennels, only been left alone with 3 people in my life who i trust and is utterly spoilt. I approached bathminster doggy daycare as being full time was becoming stressful, the minute i walked into the meet and greet i was very aware of how much they knew about dogs and that their home was dedicated to our furry friends ❤️. My pup was introduced to each of their pups 1 by 1 and the owners controlled every moment of it. Within minutes all pups were sniffing bums (as dogs do) and calmly walking about the house while sasha explored her new potential home for 2 days a week. Another fear of mine is food, i religiously care for my pup with the best food possible and ingredients mean a lot, to find out the owners produce their own fresh food was amazing and we even left with some tasty treats which I thought was a great touch. Since the meet and greet each visit has been amazing, sasha bounds in the door each time and the whatsapp pupdates throughout the day calms my anxiety even more. To see your furry friend having so much fun is great it really is and I can’t thank Bathminster enough for this smooth transition. Highly recommended!!

  • Becky Stevens

    My dog loves going here…so I’m happy too! Love the pupdates I get throughout the day letting me know what he’s up to and reassures me he is well looked after and not upto mischief! Dean & his team have created a home from home and recognise when my dog needs some alone time & cuddles. Having the field to run around and play in is perfect…so I pick up an exhausted, happy & well cared for dog 🐾

  • Kate Jones

    Monty has just started going to Bathminster doggy daycare and he seems to be having a great time. Dean and Michelle are very professional and seem to love and understand the dogs. Would recommend -thanks x

  • Jason Ward

    Bertie loves his days with Dean, Karen and the other dogs. Always comes home tired 😃 (which is good)

  • Mia Tranter

    I was so nervous to put my pup into day care as we hadn’t been apart during lockdown. From the minute we did the meet and greet, I felt more relaxed and reassured thanks to Dean and his wife. I had numerous updates throughout the day with photos and videos! My pup came away the most tired I’ve seen him ever! (he’s a sprocker spaniel- so that never happens) and he loved it! Would highly recommend!

  • Darren Cooper

    My French Bulldog stays 2 nights a month as I have work commitments meaning I have to stay away. I know he’s well looked after and get video updates just to confirm what I already know. Have also had some training sessions with Dean which are paying off too!

  • Adrian Szuba

    Fantastic doggy day care with a very carrying, knowledgeable and personal service. Dean and Michelle are amazing with our 6 mouths old puppy Barney. Daily updates in the form of photos and videos of Barney when he is staying in the day care are genius. We would recommend Bathminster doggy day care to absolutely anyone!

  • Michele

    I have used Bathminster for boarding, daycare and 1-1 obedience training for both my dogs and I can only say that they are absolutely brilliant! Dogs come back happy and also exhausted from how much fun they have!! I would recommend to anyone, absolutely first class service and they go above and beyond every time! So glad I have found them!!

  • gemma pearce

    I contacted Dean after having awful behavioural problems with my cavapoo, Archie. He is also very anxious. Dean came round and slowly bonded with Archie, he put some tips in place for me to work on with Archie and while I was skeptical his behaviour would improve, we’ve been consistent and Archie is like a different dog. He’s not ‘perfect’ but we’re still working with him. Dean replies to my messages straight away and is always on hand when I need anything. Now Archie and Dean have an amazing bond and I’m looking forward to seeing Archie’s behaviour improve more.

  • Chelsey Downing

    I cannot speak high enough of the team at Bathminster Doggy Daycare.

    Our puppy was struggling to socialise due to the COVID-19 crisis and both myself and my partner work full time.

    Our furry friend loves his time at daycare, he is always well looked after and we receive regular updates about his day. He is cared for and loved like he is their own and is always excited when I drop him off in the morning.

    I cannot imagine using another service and would reccomended them to anybody who is looking for a pet boarding service in the Worcestershire and Kidderminster areas.

  • Emma Maskell

    Excellent service.
    Emailed Bathminster asking about the service and had a reply the same day. Spoke to Dean on the phone. Had a good chat about our Cavapoo and was well informed. Offered to go and have a look around and they were great with my short notice for the same day.
    Really could not recommend enough, our puppy is only 17weeks and they have sent videos and messages while having him the last few days, it has made me feel so at ease while at work as it’s the first time we have left him.
    Will definitely be using the service again.
    Thank you Dean and Michelle!

  • sandra king

    Had my first session of obedience training with Dean yesterday to help with my King Charles spaniel Benji, who barks alot and gets anxious when I’m not at home. Dean was punctual, very polite and very calm around my dog. Dean showed me techniques to discourage the behaviour I dont want and reinforce the behaviour I do want. After the hour session I started to feel more in control and less stressed about Benjis behaviour.
    Next session we are walking Benji as he barks aggressively at other dogs.
    Very friendly service from both Michrlle and Dean

  • Liann Thomson

    I called Dean on a Friday night and asked if he was able to have my cavapoo for the day on the Saturday (the next day!) as we decided to go to West Midlands Safari Park and he accommodated is, sent photos and videos of her while she was there and showed me round the house when I was there so I could see where she had been. Will use this service again

  • Neil Holmes

    Our dog spent her first half a day with dean and Michelle today . We can’t recommend this service enough . The effort they have gone to for the dogs is above and beyond . Our dog had a fantastic time she had use of the secure enclosed field to run and play . We had regular updates and videos which put us at ease . Value for money is incredible when you think of what dean and Michelle provide . Looking forward to Roo staying on a regular basis . Thankyou again Bathminster .

  • Michelle Alcock

    Initially called for some advice on behaviour and separation anxiety. Dean was extremely knowledgable and helpful. Arranged for some training but in the meantime and at short notice, I needed to board my pup (for the first time). Bathminster couldn’t of been more supportive, even offering to collect my pup on the day I was going away. A loving and fun filled experience for my pup, couldn’t ask for more. Will be using again very soon.
