What Our Customers Say

Doing Alanna’s dog paddle sports training was a brilliant experience. Her comprehensive approach, encompassing pre-training preparation, in session guidance and post training follow up, ensured a thorough and enjoyable experience. Alanna’s deep passion for dog training and her commitment to her clients success shone through, making the training not only educational but also incredibly fun. Thanks to her, I’m now eagerly anticipating many future paddle sports adventures with my dog, which I previously thought wouldn’t be possible.

Elaine Coyle

It’s refreshing to find a trainer that’s willing to embrace a dogs natural instincts and help redirect them towards a positive path rather than throwing a slip lead on and scaring them into submission. It’s clear Alanna has a great passion and understanding of dogs. Since training with Alanna I’ve noticed steady improvement in my dogs focus, recall and willingness to work with me. It’s been extremely beneficial to train beside her own dog Trinny in a controlled environment too. This training has given me a confidence boost which has in turn enhanced the bond I have with my dog. Really looking forward to continuing training sessions!

Kelly Crawford

4 the love of dog has been an absolutely amazing help with my rescue dog who had minimal training beforehand. Due to moving house we only had time for one session and it has made the world of difference in his behaviour and Alana has been very helpful and supportive even after the session with follow up calls and tons of knowledgeable information to help me become the loving leader that my dog needs. I would highly recommend 4 the love of dog to anyone who’s either struggling with their pets behaviour or even just wanting to teach them some cool new tricks.

Kyle Peffers

Can't thank or recommend Alanna enough. When we met Alanna we were at desperation point but she has worked wonders with our very reactive rescue dog Honey. We still have a long way to go but Honey is like a completely different dog. Alanna has the patient of of a saint, her knowledge is second to none, encouraging and always on hand to answer any queries. Thank you Alanna we couldn't have done it without you.

CLIVE HORTON

If you're looking for a dog training business in Glasgow that delivers real results with kindness and expertise, look no further. Alanna has given us the tools to build a stronger, more loving bond with our furry friend, and we're forever grateful. Five stars doesn't seem enough!

Angele Tejeiro

Allana was amazing start to finish! Gave my american bulldog the time of day when some wouldnt. Made me feel so comfortable and no judgement. Gave me lots of advice and training to go away with, seen a big difference already in my girl and its made me feel more positive!! 1000% recommened to anyone

Catherine Wright

Alanna worked with Meg on a few issues we had, she was a great help to us as Meg walks much better ( no chasing cars ) 😀 we are still working on another issue with lots of tips we got from Alanna and won't hesitate to call her if needed and we thank her so much for the help given

Tommy Gorman

I would highly recommend Alana. She gave me great advice and training when dealing with my 18 month old Sprollie rescue dog. She didn’t judge and was always there for me if I was needing to chat when feeling overwhelmed by it all. She was extremely patient and Clyde learned lots of tricks along the way. We both thoroughly enjoyed the paddleboard session putting into practice the training we had been given.

Debby Mccreath

We noticed a huge difference in our dogs after just one session with Alana. She was so understanding and supportive — I never once felt like we were being told off or doing things wrong, which made the whole experience really positive. With a baby on the way, she’s been incredibly accommodating, both in terms of training techniques that suit our situation and finding times that work for us. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Morven Burridge

We couldn’t recommend Alana highly enough - she has worked wonders with our one year old cockapoo. She is so patient and has given us so much good advice on how to deal with unwanted behaviours. We have seen a huge difference already and we still have a way to go but she has given us so many strategies and built our confidence. An amazing trainer to work with!
