  • "We've recently started classes for my 4 month old Cocker puppy - Becky is so friendly and welcoming and Basil absolutely adores her! She has given loads of great advice and classes have been adapted for the abilities of a young pup without issue. Basil and I feel right at home and I'm confident that continuing his training with Becky will help Basil become the best adult dog he can be 🐾❤️"

  • "We highly recommend Becky at AscendK9! Becky has played a crucial role in turning our German Shepherd rescue, Keila’s behaviours around in such a short space of time, from the first 1-to-1 session in July [in the pouring rain, thank you Becky for enduring this for us!]. Becky was extremely patient with me as I attended by myself on the first session [I am the spare human in our household 😊] I was made to feel at ease and grew in confidence as the hour progressed, to now venturing into busy places without the fear that Keila will react to other dogs."

  • "I have a reactive GSD, he was awful when ever we met other dogs barking and trying to get to them, frightening for me and the other dog and owner and I had to hang on to him with all my strength. One 1:1 with Becky and he was much better so I joined her group and can now walk within the group and other dogs, she very kindly gives you advice and tips on how to handle different situations. I would really recommend Becky and Ascendk9"

  • "We have been working with Becky since January 2024. Becky has helped me achieve things I didn't even know were possible with my dog. Her drive to support you to achieve with your dog is second to none. Becky is kind, supportive, and non-judgmental. I highly recommend her."

  • "I’ve been attending Urban and Group Obedience with Becky from AscendK9. Her classes and knowledge as a trainer has given both me and my dog Indy the confidence to explore busier public areas together and live our best lives. Thank you!"

  • "I love training with Becky she's so amazing! Ascendk9 is such a wonderful training group, a great group of owners and good mix of breeds, no breed judgment here at all ! there's are so many types of training you can do weither it be group training in the local towns or high streets to open fields and horse riding stables there's a real good mix for whatever it is you want to work on. Becky has nothing but time for us and I can honestly say you know her hearts in it !"

    - Holly Hawkins

  • "We've never felt so relaxed and confident with a dog trainer ever before, Becky made us feel completely at ease and explained everything so well. We opted for a private lesson to begin with so we could share our worries, concerns and to discuss what we wanted to achieve from training in private. Could have easily spent all day chatting to Becky about all things dog! So pleased with the advice we received for both our dogs, sometimes a small change to a training method can make such a huge difference. We discussed what changes could be made, what new methods we can implement and what was going well and what wasn't. We will now try some group obedience classes and put Becky's advice to the test with our dogs. Group obedience has always been a big fear for me, but Becky has eased my worries and I can't wait to attend our first session. Thank you so much Becky, you don't realise how much of a difference you've made to my confidence, after all I'm really the one who needs training!"

    - Lisa Marie

  • "Becky is absolutely amazing. She's been brilliant so far with us and our Doggo Reggie. He's not an easy dog but she's given us bits to work on which he's doing well with! Can't wait to see him progress with the help of ASCENDK9!"

    - Kelly Taylor
