Despite the difficulties of lockdown and puppy classes being postponed, Jayde has been able to help get us started with puppy training via a brilliant Zoom training session and taking our puppy out for a walk! She went through lots of exercises with us, demonstrating with lovely Sherlock and giving feedback on our attempts and also followed up with email/video tips. Jayde is very easy to work with and has so much experience and great ideas for training dogs. We thoroughly recommend Jayde.

Historically I have always used well established boarding kennels for my dogs. Partly to ensure their safety but also because I didn't know anyone in the profession whom I trusted in my home. I became aware of That DOG, dog walking and pet sitting services, and after meeting Jayde in person I felt she was trust worthy and knowledgeable and I felt my pets would be in good hands! I wasn't wrong. We have two elderly, high energy breeds and also two cats.
The cats are on a raw diet and one of them has medical (and personality) issues. Jayde catered for all of the animals needs and was able to keep the dogs safe and stimulated during their walks through use of positive reinforcement and clicker training. They were well looked after and whilst I was away I was able to see how content they all looked by checking the facebook updates. When we returned home the house was clean and tidy and none of the animals were bothered to see us - which is perhaps the biggest compliment for any pet sitter.
Jayde has looked after my pets on a number of occasions and I will continue to use her in the future. I can highly recommend her to anyone thinking of getting a dog walker/pet sitter.

Our dog is part of the family, so we wanted to find someone who was, not only trustworthy, but also a real animal lover. Jayde regularly walks our dog, Bella, but has also stayed in our house to look after her. We are thrilled with Jayde; she adores our dog and the feeling is mutual! A happy dog= a happy owner!!! I highly recommend That Dog. Thank you, Jayde!

Jayde came highly recommended as a trustworthy walker. After an initial introduction to our dog at home, she walks her when we have to work during the day & has stayed overnight when we have wanted to go to visit friends who have allergies. We did not want to put our dog in boarding kennels so knowing she is in safe, capable and loving hands in a familiar environment at home, has made an enormous difference to us. Thank you Jayde.

We have used Jayde for almost a year now . She walks our 2 pugs lulu and poppy once a week and dog sits whenever we are away and I can honestly say we couldnt ask for more! Our girls are very content and happy with her(maybe even a little better behaved!) I also work shifts which Jayde is happy to accomadate. I couldnt give a higher recommendation.

Jaydes puppy training sessions are great. Jayde is very knowledgeable and patient and is helping me, my husband and our 6 year old daughter to train our dog Luna. Luna loves her sessions and looks forward to them! After the first session Luna was responding well to the methods Jayde helped us to implement. Highly recommended!

Jayde was fantastic with Harley on our one to one session! It was great to have sole concentration on what we wanted to work on with him. She gave us so many hints and tips and taught us how to make training fun for all of us. We left feeling confident and determined to keep at his training. Have already recommended to many puppy/dog owners!
