Brilliant, fun training starts here.
If you're reading this, you are no doubt as devoted to your spaniel as we are to ours (that's me in the photo above, with our gorgeous Phoebe). From household pets to proper 'workers', we all want to give them the unconditional love, exercise and training they deserve.
Phoebe & Friends can help you get the best out of your spaniel - and help him/her get the most of out of life. Our insightful, kind and energising training sessions are great fun for adults, children and dogs alike. From puppy training, basic obedience and solid recall, through to proper gundog training and behavioural troubleshooting, we're here to help you build your bond together and get the most out of each other: kindly, gently, and steadily.

Puppies & juniors
Laying good foundations helps to build a confident, happy dog (and owner!) Get a head-start with our basic puppy training and socialisation, and set your young spaniel on the right track in terms of obedience, polite behaviour, and interaction with other dogs and humans.
Basic obedience training
Great recall, loose-lead walking, steadiness, and kind behaviour around other dogs, children and adults is totally achievable. Our structured training programmes can help you and your spaniel build the confidence bond and make every walk a joy.
Field (gundog) training
You don't have to 'work' your spaniel to get a lot out of fun field-training. Help your spaniel learn how to use his/her nose, experience the joy of scent-work, and learn some impressive gundog commands for a brilliant addition to your regular walking schedule. We also provide basic and intermediate gundog training..
Nutrition guidance & programs
Establishing a healthy gut is vital at every life stage. We can guide you to an effective, affordable dietary plan, including pups, seniors, pregnant bitches, new mums, weight management, intolerances, and more.

"Thanks to Helen for really sound advice on feeding our spaniel Mossy who has intolerances. She devised a feeding program that is totally affordable and simple. Mossy cleans her bowl every meal!"
Mossy's Owner
"Jack needed more stimulation than we were able to give him ourselves, so Helen's basic field work has been a revelation for all of us. Thank you!"
