We contacted Green Dogs Training after adopting a scared middle aged lurcher, who was really nervous around my partner and terrified of new experiences and places. We have had a few 121s and have learnt so much from Marta about his behaviour and ours. It was so obvious that she really loved her work and the dogs, and the advice she gave was invaluable, helping us to give him the time and space to find his confidence and feel secure. Six months on and he has just come back from his first holiday with us, including a visit to a cafe and a pub (picture below), which we thought might be impossible once. Feel like now he is ready for group training, so we will be signing him up soon for Green Dogs classes.
Marta is outstanding in supporting and training both me and my slightly nervous and reactive dog. The peace of mind that has come from knowing that when my dog is out on training walks with Marta, he’s in safe hands, is invaluable. Not only does he get exercised, but he’s also gaining confidence and practicing good behaviour. Then the weekly classes we go to together makes sure I know what I’m doing too! It’s a winning formula 🐶
We can’t recommend Green Dogs enough! Our rescue dog Donna was extremely nervous, yet playful and reactive, making walks and more stressful for her and us. Thanks to Marta’s patient and expert guidance, we’ve seen a great improvement. Donna is now walking so much better on the lead and reacts far less to triggers outside. Marta has given us the confidence and tools to help her feel more secure, and we’re super grateful to her. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer, look no further than Marta and Green Dogs Training!
We have used both the 1-1 sessions and the classes for our dog since he was a couple of months old. It has really helped us with understanding his behaviour and has helped us so much with training him both as a puppy and a teenager (especially with his lead pulling).
Feel so so grateful to have found Marta! She has been an absolute godsend with training our dog following an attack which left him scared and subsequently reactive around other dogs when he was on lead. We started with 121’s with Marta and then joined the group outdoor classes which have been absolutely fab to build up his confidence around other dogs. Marta is always at the other end of the phone if we need advice in between sessions which is very reassuring if we need any tips or reassurance. Having a reactive dog can often lead to a lot of misunderstanding from the general public but Marta was so reassuring that this is not rare and never treated our dog Bodhi any differently, just recognising he is a little scared boy who barks at other dogs! We’ve only been training with Marta since November and have already seen a huge improvement in Bodhi, Marta’s training involves such positive reinforcement and it is clear just how much all the dogs enjoy training. Oh, and to top it off Bodhi absolutely loves her!🥰❤️ huge thank you Marta, we can’t wait to continue to work with you to build up Bodhi’s confidence 🐾
Green Dogs Training is a great place to train your dog! Marta is very competent, friendly, helpful and always interested in your dog, doing little adjustments depending on what your dog needs. You can tell that she loves what she's doing! Very recommended! 💚
We highly recommend Green Dogs training. Marta-the dog trainer-has turned our lives around!
We adopted a teenage, high energy, reactive dog 6 months ago. We were really struggling with him and his teenage behaviour and started classes with Marta 3 months ago.
WOW!
What a difference she has made to us and our dog. She’s shown incredible patience (mainly with us!) and no matter the situation or how Cedric is behaving has a solution for us. Our training has progressed really quickly. Initially one to one with Marta-which we highly recommend- and although we’re now in a class, the positive reinforcement training is tailored to each dog’s individual level.
The life skill classes have been excellent-giving us further opportunity to practice what we learn in class.
The photos show one before Green Dogs training & the second photo last week with Cedric happily lying down on his bed in the pub! Would NEVER have happened before Green Dogs training
The Puppy Package has been a lifesaver during first month of new puppy chaos. Marta is kind, informative and responds with patience to many many questions over WhatsApp. We have moved our pup to regular classes to keep progress made on the right track and owner and pup learning lots!
If you’re looking for a dog trainer who not only teaches your puppy the basics but also becomes their best friend in the process, look no further than Marta at Green Dogs Training! Our corgi Peach, has become absolutely *obsessed* with her. It’s clear that Marta has a magical way with dogs, making learning fun and rewarding for Peach (and us!). Marta’s training techniques are effective, positive, and tailored to each dog’s personality. She takes her time with the dog as well as the owner during each session and gives you homework to follow which has been super useful to look back at. Goes without saying we’ve seen amazing progress with Peachy. If you want a trainer who’s not only skilled but genuinely cares about your dog’s well-being, Marta is the one to call. P.S she’s also a great photographer 😄
My dog and I have just started training with Marta and we are loving it! I have a rescue teenager pup who is excited to see everyone and their dogs, but sometimes it all gets a bit much for him. I have booked the rescue package which offers 121 sessions and a chance to attend some training classes with other dogs. Marta has helped with a variety of training exercises to build confidence for Gimli and myself! I am already seeing results when out walking and can now easily distract him. Since we have begun the training, he has even been quite content to sit and watch when we encounter other dogs on our walks. Rather than jump about like he has never seen a dog before, as he usually did. Marta has been fantastic with helping me understand my dog, his behaviours and solutions to help us both. Marta is very responsive with her communication and happy to answer any questions I have. I would highly recommend Marta if you need any help with your dog.
Im so glad I found Green Dogs Training. Marta is not just helping my dog but me with my confidence in training her. 🤞 I always feel supported by Marta. My dog doesn’t trust many people but she instantly loved and trusted Marta within the first ten minutes of meeting her. Would recommend any day.
We have been using Marta for training our cocker spaniel puppy for more than 6 months now and are very impressed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and brilliant with all the dogs, she uses positive training methods and we’ve seen great results. Would highly recommend.
I joined Green Dogs training classes a few months ago after meeting Marta at the Canton Crufts. She has a fantastic knowledge of dog behaviour and is very good at explaining the scientific bits. I have learned a lot in terms of managing Nala’s behaviour in some situations and Nala loves trying to mug her for her treat pouch 😂. For me, the real plus are the Real life sessions in the park on a Sunday afternoon which are a great chance to put into practice the training learned in a room .
Marta has been absolutely amazing with our pup. We started off with booking the puppy package and not only did she give us guidance on training in class but because it came with one on one classes at home. We were able to learn more in depth about how to take care of our puppy and train in the puppies own environment. We have now progressed to staying on with the weekly classes outdoors.
Eddie absolutely loves her and looks forward to the classes every week.
Highly recommend the puppy package.
We can only praise Marta for her approach to both our rescue JRT, Todd, and to us. No criticism or sign of impatience if we don't grasp things straight away and total empathy with Todd. Todd is not the easiest or calmest of dogs given he is a RSPCA cruelty and neglect rescue but he adores Marta. Her techniques are not forceful and she explores the dogs personality to find the best way forward. She is very kind but realistic in explaining that some dogs take a lot of time to adjust. Her methods are working for Todd and we would certainly recommend her.
Highly recommend Green Dogs Training. We have learnt so much in a short space of time but know we have so much more to look forward to in our Training sessions. We have had individual training and group work. Indoors and outdoors. The sessions are informative and fun but most of all getting the most out of Girl. We really enjoy learning about Dog behaviour and also learning to be prepared for the unexpected plus building on the bond/connection with our dog These sessions are not only great for our girl but for my partner and I. Its one of our favourite nights out together as a family and I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about their dog and gaining a positive experience with their dog at home and in public. Marta shows to have a wealth of knowledge on dogs and I feel you won't find anyone better. Thank you Marta this is has been life changing for us all. The change in our dog is wonderful to see. She's one happy girl ❤️
A Lifesaver for Reactive Dogs: Marta's Remarkable Training
Marta's expertise as a dog trainer is nothing short of miraculous, especially for owners of reactive dogs like myself. My journey with my Siberian husky puppy was fraught with challenges until Marta stepped in. Her compassionate approach and profound understanding of canine behavior have transformed not only my dog but also my outlook on training.
One of the most significant hurdles we faced was my husky's aversion to her crate. Marta's keen insights and patient guidance helped us navigate through this obstacle with grace and understanding.
Marta's rates are fair, making her services accessible to those in need. But beyond affordability, what truly sets her apart is her unwavering support. She's not just a trainer; she's a mentor who is always willing to lend an ear and offer guidance, even outside of scheduled sessions.
Thanks to Marta, my husky is now on her way to blossom into a confident, well-behaved companion, and our bond has never been stronger. For anyone struggling with a reactive dog, Marta is the beacon of hope you've been searching for. Trust me; she's worth every penny and more.
Thank you!!
Worked with Marta both individually and in a group. All sessions have be really helpful our dog has responded well to the training tips. Mart has always been super helpful providing detailed feedback and ongoing tips and responsive to any questions or queries. Out dog loves her visits and outdoor sessions!!
It’s hard putting into words how much Marta has changed our lives. She is exceptional, there is no other way to put it. Having a trainer who loves what she does and it shows in every single action she takes. It’s incredible the way Bruno reacts to her and he genuinely loves being around her. He cries when she leaves. Marta is patient, extremely knowledgeable and doesn’t use outdated methods. She has put so much time and effort into Bruno and has had her work cut out for herself undoing some training which we had from another trainer which had resulted in him becoming reactive. I can’t recommend Green Dogs enough. If you’re looking for the whole package then this is the trainer you should have.
So glad to have found green dogs training and Marta
We go to group classes for training every Monday and Indi loves it, he is more confident in the classes and you can tell he is having a good time.
He absolutely adores Marta and you can tell it’s mutual ❤️ which means the world to me.
Marta is really knowledgeable and always willing to help, Indi is not always the easiest dog and having someone helping me with his behaviour and helping me understand him better is brilliant. I would recommend the one to one sessions too, as they also hold so much value for Indi where we can tackle all those little issues that need some attention and work.
Overall I couldn’t be happier with the services.
Would definitely recommend Marta and Green Dogs Training, very friendly and helpful, with lots of positive reinforcement and knowledge. Thanks very much :)
Marta is amazing, I cannot recommend a better trainer for your dog!
She is very knowledgeable and is able to answer any questions you may have, she is also always available by text or messenger at any time if you need her!
I did one on one training as well as an agility class and both my dogs had an amazing time,
I have a 1 year old welsh sheepdog who never runs out of energy and after 45min training with Marta he was actually tired!
Marta will adjust and adapt her training to your dog so they can get the best training they need,
I 100% recommend 👌🏻
We have been training with Green Dogs for a few months now and really enjoy the classes and our dog is happier and more engaged with us as a result. Marta is great and very knowledgeable about dogs' behaviour and training and has lots of fun games to play to train your dog with practical skills that are easy to do at home.
I could not recommend Marta and Green Dogs Training more. Having a large and very excitable teenage dog we were struggling with the fine tuning of some areas of training on our own. We started training with Marta 2 months ago now and I can say with complete honesty that I can really see the difference it has made to both our dog and us as owners. Marta is such a friendly, calm dog trainer with an absolute abundance of knowledge in dog behaviour, dog body language... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she speaks dog at this point! Her training classes are informal, relaxed, fun and easy going but always consider the bare bones of brilliant training techniques for your dog!
Attended a training workshop. Impressed at level of knowledge of dog behaviour and would recommend
We have enrolled to Green Dogs Training class when we got our rescue dog and this is the best thing we ever did! Our dog has progressed so much over a couple of months and she is becoming more and more confident! Martha is very knowledgeable and kind and adapts to every dog's needs. We always look forward to our Friday sessions 😊 A massive thank you from happy pawrents 🥰❤️
We had an initial consultation where Marta patiently sat with us and listened without judgement as we talked through all our concerns and the areas we felt we needed to work on - we definitely had a case of the puppy blues and I was grateful that Marta was understanding of this and didn’t judge us for it. From that initial consultation we came away feeling more positive and more prepared to train Gatsby going forward. We then had a number of 1-1 sessions which were not only really informative, but also fun and great bonding experiences with our puppy Gatsby. Marta explained everything so clearly and was able to answer any questions we had. We are grateful for all the advice and techniques Marta has taught us and would highly recommend Green Dogs Training if you are finding puppy training difficult, or if you just want to learn best practice for your dog. Thanks for everything Marta!
Marta in our humble opinion is an incredible dog trainer. Coming to group classes with Miso has been one of the best things we ever did. Marta manages to adapt the classes and training tips to each individual dog, as everyone is so different. We are learning so many useful life skills, especially learning to focus and disengage from distractions, something he used to really struggle with. Her classes (both indoor and outdoor) are so much fun and have been brilliant for socialising and exercising Miso’s teenage brain. Marta genuinely cares about her doggy pupils and has an excellent wealth of knowledge on doggy behaviour. Her positive training methods have encouraged Miso to make his own right (not naughty 😉) decisions. Our doggy-mum bond has improved and surviving the teenage phase has become so much easier! Miso can never wait to get into class, which is a real testament to Marta. We really can’t speak highly enough of Green Dogs Training.
