KELFORD FEEDBACK

Alan and Dinah Cooke- MERSEYSIDE
Lovely people, lovely food. What an instructive time! Kelly and David are wonderful company, they have a wonderful place here, and we left feeling much happier about our dog and felt we were leaving old friends behind. Thank you both so much!

Dr Sam and Anne Hewitt- English Bull Dog PERTH
We have learnt so much about ourselves and our dog. Thank you for the food and accommodation, both were first class!

Carole and Syd Rose- BIRMINGHAM
We have learned so much this weekend. Whilst we realise we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, we are looking forward to the challenge. We can see a change in our dogs already. Thank you Kelly for your hard work and patience and thank you David for your great hospitality.

Amanda and Ray Carroll- Lassie Collie KNUTSFORD
Kelly gave us an insight into a whole new world of dog behaviour. Our assumptions about our dogs problems were wrong, so we could not have progressed without Kellys help. Dave’s cooking is bettered only by his sense of humour- BRILLIANT WEEKEND!

Paulette Purser- LANCASHIRE
Wonderful 2 days. Have began to learn things about my dogs I didn’t even realise. Kelly is wonderful, so enthusiastic and patient. Thank you Dave for the nurturing and nourishing. Thank you both so much.

Warren and Gina Blakemore-Murray- 2 Cocker Spaniels NORTH YORKS
Kelly thank you for helping us to find the right balance between us and our loved ones, Elly and Daisy.

Thank you both ever so much!

Chris and Lorna Spencer- Norwegian Sledge Dog (imp) GLASGOW
