happy tails

I can’t thank Kate enough for everything she has not only taught Mac (our 18 month old Frenchie) but us too! She has been an absolute pleasure to work with, who Mac absolutely LOVES The strategies, techniques and all the behaviour information has been fantastic! I honestly can’t even begin to explain how much progress Mac has made and benefited from all of his sessions so far and everyone comments on how much calmer Mac is! Couldn’t be happier and prouder – all thanks to Kate at Star Pawformers Will be forever thankful!

Lauren Lawton & Mac

Mylo and I attended the puppy classes which greatly helped Mylo to have a good start introducing good behaviours. He grew (literally too!) so much in the span of 8 weeks from hiding under the chair the 1st class to being more confident and running during recall practice. We’re looking forward to more sessions with Kate and Star pawformers

p.s. also got introduced to rabbit ears which Mylo absolutely adores!

Alec Gapuz & Mylo

Kate has been great and so supportive with training my 11 month old pup. I came to Kate with some unwanted behaviours and after a few 1:1 sessions I already noticed a difference!

We’re now doing group classes which is only making things better. Kate has lots of knowledge and is brilliant with guiding you through everything, no judgments made. It also helps that my pup is obsessed with her! Couldn’t recommend Kate and her classes more!

Chloe Miller & Oakley

Kate is just amazing with dogs, our 1 year old lab adores Kate and so do we. We have been training with Kate since Juke was a pup. Anyone who owns a Labrador will know how challenging they can be, Kates training and advice has helped us so much – her advice is spot on and her approach is so calm and reassuring. Kate offers training for us as well as the dog. We probably need more training than the dog!

In short, I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Kate’s methods really work even for our Giddy Kipper! Can’t recommend or thank her enough.

Jane Leese & Juke

Many people comment on Asha’s behaviour and how calm she is. Well there are many factors but one is her teacher KateEllis. We asked Kate to help us with Asha from when she was 11 weeks with a 1:1…….GAME CHANGER! It was like the dog whisper came in!!

We have completed an 8 week course of Puppy training and half way through a bronze training. I’m not quite sure how we would have coped without Kate’s incredible knowledge and her humour.

I’ve realised that the training is for Dan and I just as much as Asha. Thank you Kate, you’re really are the Dog Whisperer!

Shelley Aspden & Asha

Rocco and I have done Kate’s trick classes for quite a while and we are having a great time. Lots of fun and Kate is great with all dogs. Highly recommended give it a try

Susie Schmidt & Rocco

Kate is brilliant with dogs and does excellent obedience classes, 1 to 1s and tricks classes.

The Halloween spectacular tricks class tonight was wonderful, lots of fun and Kate had clearly put a lot of effort and hard work into it to make it enjoyable for everyone. I would always recommend Star Pawformers and the great work that Kate does to everyone!!

David Hulse & Bruno

Kate has been training my 9 year old daughter and her puppy, Kate has been brilliant and Chloe and Sweep love going to classes and cant wait to start trick training

Stephanie Cooper & Sweep

I just wanted to say how fantastic Kate has been with my son. He has always had an absolute phobia of animals, particularly dogs to the point where he wouldnt go to the park as there were so many dogs around or to a friends house if they had cats or dogs. Kate has turned this around with her own puppy Waffle to the point where last weekend my son was in her garden with 3 dogs running around him. He can now have his long held dream of his own puppy. Thank you Kate. Xx

Kate has helped me train both my dogs over the last 6 years. My dogs work alongside me in my job as a childrens therapist. Kates personable and extensive knowledge of dog behaviour has been invaluable to building healthy, positive relationships with my dogs and I have learned so much from her. I would highly recommend her as a dog trainer for all humans and dogs.

Rocco (a toller) and I have attended Kates trick classes for several years now, we’ve learnt lots and Roccos focus has much improved. We have fun, meet lovely dogs and people and make new friends. Sometimes the dogs are better behaved than the humans ☺ Kate is great, always supportive and encouraging, highly recommended.

Susie Schmidt & Rocco

Both my nervous rescue dogs attend trick classes with Star Pawformers and love it. Kate really takes the time to understand each dog. Their confidence has really increased due to their trick classes, I’d recommend to anyone!

Julia Hawkins & Dash & Lottie

My dog Elsa has lots of tail wagging fun at Star Pawformers with Kate while enhancing her obedience and socialising skills. She learns tricks that entertain my family and friends who often say “How did she do that” with amazement! Elsa is a cockapoo who in the past (should I say it) had ideas of her own, that definitely did not include listening or responding to me. Thanks to Star Pawformers training sessions, patience, understanding and encouragement I now have a dog who is my companion at home, on country or town walks, the occasional outdoor market trip and also most recently quite a few outdoor pub lunches where she will happily perform some tricks if there’s a chance of a tasty treat to follow!

Jane Barclay & Elsa

Kate is a great trainer and a lovely person. Highly recommend her tricks class, which has really helped with increasing my dog’s confidence & focus.

Audra Hurst & Pedro

My dog has been in obedience classes with Kate since he was a few months old and we now attend trick classes. Both myself and my dog have grown in confidence with Kates help and she really takes the time to get to know your individual dogs needs and how they learn. Arlo is my first dog, I thought I knew about dog training before starting classes – I was wrong! I have learnt so much about training methods and how to communicate best with my dog. I know how much this pays off when my dog is eager to learn more and can pick up new behaviours quickly because hes been taught in a way that helps to build up his skills and thought processes,

Charlotte Watkinson & Arlo

Myself and my cockapoo Otto have been attending Kates trick classes for the past year. They are great fun for the dog and myself, I would have never believed that Otto would be able to learn so many things, I am so impressed!

Chris Bunte & Otto

Tilly and I have our trick classes at Star Pawformers, Kate is an amazing instructor who is patient, kind and truly loves dogs. She breaks each trick down into small steps and allows us to progress at our own pace. I would willingly recommend Star Pawformers to anyone.

Sally Plummer & Tilly

I would recommend Star Pawformers to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed and informal training class. Kate is understanding, kind and professional in helping us achieve our goals.

Jan Burke (Pawfect Bakes) & Bella

Kate Ellis at Star Pawformers is quite simply THE BEST dog training instructor EVER. She treats all the dogs and handlers with great compassion and kindness and has an infinite supply of knowledge and problem solving skills. She makes classes fantastic fun for Ruby and me!
