Roz has unlocked the language of dog for us. As first time dog owners we are starting to feel confident with all aspects of dog training for our cocker spaniel. We would definitely recommend.

I'd like to thank Roz for massively helping my rescue dogs behaviour. My dog was at the stage of being afraid to leave the house. Roz promptly worked with my vet to help get him back on track.
She's been very kind 2 years later in giving free email advice to help with his ongoing fear of balloons. I very much value her input.

Roz is an amazing trainer and has been invaluable in helping us work with our pup from 8 weeks through to today (1 yr) and we will continue to see her.
We loved the puppy classes and support of the FB group, plus her additional sessions which we have enjoyed as well as learnt so much from. She is HUGELY knowledgeable, down to earth and practical with her advice.
Thanks so much Roz and Co! D x

Roz is a brilliant trainer! She has helped us so much with our collie Casper.
Helped us turn him from a crazy boy to one, not so crazy. He is still training but a real joy to take out now.
Roz's knowledge and training style is exceptional and realistic.

I required Roz's help after adopting a Romanian street pup called Ava. I was at a point where I was out of my depth and needed guidance in the best way to help ease Ava into her new life with us. Roz gave me a structured plan of advice and steps that I could implement. Before getting Roz involved, I could not see how Ava was ever going to settle into our lives. 6 months later we now have a happy dog who we could not live without.

We were so grateful for the wonderful foundation given to Bluebell through the puppy classes. The team are so knowledgable and the Facebook group is a superb resource for puppy parents. We have since had several 1:1’s with Roz and have received a fantastic education in how to improve behaviour both in the home and with other dogs. We can’t thank her enough for the difference she has made.
