Telford Dog Trainer review

Best for: reactive dogs needing training-led care

Telford Dog Trainer in short

Telford Dog Trainer, trading as Shaman's K9 Services, is Lindsey's training and behaviour practice working across Shropshire from its own enclosed Telford field. The background is deep: decades with dogs including years running a rehabilitation rescue for bite histories and fear-based aggression. Assessments and field sessions carry stated prices. The practice was included for owners whose dogs need behaviour work alongside their exercise.

The review base is the largest in this table: 4.6 from 68 Google reviews, with no other platform ratings in the record we hold. Our view is that Telford Dog Trainer suits owners whose dogs need behaviour help alongside exercise rather than a daily walking round. What counts against it is the training-first shape of the offer, plus no qualification scheme on record.

Our verdict

Our verdict: Telford Dog Trainer suits you if your dog needs behaviour help as well as exercise, since reactivity and fear-based behaviour are Lindsey's stated specialism [1]. The enclosed field and priced assessments make the offer concrete [2]. What counts against it is the training-first shape of the service: as a day-to-day dog walking round, this one sits apart from the regular walkers.

Is Telford Dog Trainer any good?

On the evidence, yes for behaviour cases: it sits seventh in our Telford dog walkers table with 4.6 from 68 Google reviews, the largest review base here. Lindsey specialises in reactivity and fear-based behaviour from an enclosed field. As a daily walking round it sits apart, so match the service to the need.

There is no mandatory register for dog walking, and no qualification scheme or licence details are published for this practice. The site describes the business as qualified, insured and experienced. Ask what sits behind that description and to see the insurance summary before you book.

What does Telford Dog Trainer charge?

The services page prices the initial assessment at £69 and field sessions at £50 an hour. Routine walk rates are not the offer here. Send your dog's issues for an exact quote, and confirm what the assessment covers before you agree.

Where does Telford Dog Trainer work?

The practice works from Telford across Shropshire, including Shrewsbury, from its own enclosed field. Behaviour sessions centre on the field rather than your street. Send your postcode to confirm you sit inside the working area, and ask how sessions fit around your week.

It ranks seventh of the ten dog walkers in our September round, picked for reactive dogs needing training-led care. Depth of behaviour experience carries it. Read the full review and its sources, then ask about an assessment for your dog.
