“We had 6 brilliant sessions with Lakes Pet Services. Ourselves, and our Boxer Luna, learned so much. The sessions are highly informative and personalised. The communication and support during each week is fantastic. I cannot recommend Lakes Pet Services enough as our experience has been so positive”

Petra has helped me and my dog Roux so much over the last few weeks! The 1-2-1 tuition has been amazing, we have learnt simple yet effective tools and tips and the learning has been for us both. I have noticed so much improvement in Roux’s behaviour - still lots to continue working on but I now feel more confident knowing the correct things to practice. Thank-you Petra for being so calm and supportive, we will be continuing to have ad hoc lessons with you over the coming months

“ We found out about Petra through friends who raved about her, referring to her as 'the dog whisperer'. We had a 10 month old male border collie who pulled on the lead and obsessively stalked our two cats. We booked a course of 6 sessions with Petra and instantly liked and trusted her. She taught us how our behaviour affected our highly sensitive and intelligent dog. She helped us understand his behaviour and strong instincts. Using balanced methods - correcting unwanted behaviour and praising desired behaviour - we achieved great results even after our first session. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who has a dog. Thank you so much Petra! “

Petra’s input with our three year old spaniel has been invaluable. Lead walking was miserable with pulling, but recall off it was hit and miss. Petra is friendly and understanding, she has shown us how to communicate with him, recognise and manage his behaviour, in a calm and effective way. Petra’s interaction with our spaniel is wonderful to watch, she knows how to get the best out of him and he responds in trusting and willing way, clearly enjoying the learning to!

We can’t recommend Lakes Pet services enough, Petra and the team are fantastic! My dog loves her weekly walks with them and they go over and above to make sure she has a great time. They are flexible with walks and keep us updated with pictures too which is so lovely to see!

Brilliant care, knowledge and expertise from Petra and the team who have walked our border collie for 5 years - reliable, trustworthy and look after our dog as if she was their own. If you are wondering if Petra can help you with training - she absolutely can! Her involvement with our border collie's training changed all of our lives for the better.
