Telford Dog Trainer in short

Telford Dog Trainer is Lindsey's Telford business for reactive, fearful and bite-history dogs, worked one-to-one from her own enclosed training field. An initial home assessment leads to field sessions, with scent-work and gundog courses alongside, and the terms set out cover with Pet Business Insurance plus written cancellation and safety rules. Online booking, phone and a contact form keep first contact simple.

Customer reviews sit in the mid-fours on Google across a solid set of ratings, and this review reads that as steady backing for difficult-dog work. We rate the published prices and written terms as the clearest commercial paperwork in the round. What counts against Telford Dog Trainer is the absence of named trainer qualifications anywhere on the site.

Our verdict

Our judgement: this is the Telford pick for owners of reactive, fearful or bite-history dogs who want 1-2-1 work with someone who has handled such cases for decades [1] [2]. Published prices and written terms make the offer easy to compare [2] [3]. The gap is paperwork on qualifications: none are named on the site [1].
