Lucy provided some one-one sessions in our home for our dog - a lively 2 year-old Golden Retriever. This built our confidence as dog owners and gave us the confidence to then sign up for her six-week Adolescent Dog course with five other dogs. Lucy really knows her stuff and is very patient and great to work with.  We learnt some great techniques that are really helping our dog. She is now far calmer on walks with less pulling; she’s quieter when people come to our house; etc. The techniques Lucy taught us are really helping us to manage situations and communicate with our dog so she understands what we want her to do. I am sure we will join future classes to help us progress.

Had a brilliant afternoon on an intro to man trailing with Lucy. The location and the set up was perfect, really well run day and Lucy was very accommodating to my dog who can be a bit worried about men. We loved it and will be coming back :)

Fantastic intro session into Mantrailing. A game of hide and seek with a hint of smell the stinky sock (Sasha not me!).

Not sure who was more into it Sasha or I.  It was great to let Sasha use her nose, find the human and enjoy her tuggy toy as reward.

I’ve tried lots of different sessions trying to find an activity that channels her enthusiasm and this was probably the most engaged from the start she has been. We’ll definitely be doing more sessions and as a plus resulted in a very sleepy dog for most of the afternoon.

I am extremely grateful to Lucy for her kind, calm and fun  training sessions with my adolescent golden retriever. All dogs and owners for that matter learn at different speeds and have different skills. She has helped me understand this and has explained how dogs think and react the way they do which then gives you tools and understanding for future difficulties. I have trained with her in both adolescent classes and started my mantrailing journey with my high energy dog. He has loved all the sessions. I can highly recommend Lucy Ward for anyone with those puppy and even adult dog struggles.

Have been trailing with Lucy for a couple of years now and have learnt so much.  She is knowledgeable, supportive, helpful and kind.  We always look forward to our sessions and know that it's going to be not only a fun day out but one where we'll learn lots too.  An added bonus is that I've built a stronger relationship with Figgy and have learned to read him better as well.  Thanks 😊

Genuine review: Lucy has trained ME how to behave with my dog, I feel that we are a better team for her professional, patient and kind input.

Had a great afternoon with my dog at a Mantrailing intro workshop led by Lucy. Great tutor, very knowledgable, enthusiastic and personable and well really organised. Didn’t matter at all that we were all novices, she tailored eh session to the ability of the handler. The group was small and friendly too. Would definitely recommend.

After having finished Lucy's Adolescent Dog Class with Enzo, my White Swiss Shepherd, we just had our Introduction Mantrailing session and I can't recommend the classes and Lucy highly enough. The sessions are very well planned-out and just the right number of people/dogs. Lucy is very patient and always happy to share her knowledge. Lucy Ward Dog Training is very professionally run!!! You can't go wrong.

Lucy is an excellent trainer. Not too many people at a time, sessions well set up and good follow up after sessions. A very professional operation!
