  • Would definitely recommend

    “Really enjoyed the training classes.
    Same was very patient, helpful & knowledgable with straightforward instructions for each step.
    Classes were good fun for Marley & Me!
    Will be looking to attend other classes/activities in the future. Would definitely recommend to anyone looing for training classes.”

    Helen & Marley - Advanced Training Class

  • I highly recommend Small and Mighty Pets

    “You know your stuff very well indeed, and we're all very impressed by your knowledge, methods, and manner!
    Basil and Milly seem to enjoy their sessions - they've come home very perky; and then sunk into deep, contented snoozes.
    It's something easily overlooked, that dogs need mental as well as physical stimulation - and it's such a good way to bond! Both are snoring contentedly right now.
    Thank you for your help and expertise.”

    Sarah, Simon, Katy, Milly & Basil

    “Highly recommend Sam. Very professional and thorough trainer from the very first session. Worked wonders with my working cocker spaniel puppy :) thank you again!”

    Mark Jenks

  • So happy I found them, they are incredible

    “Would absolutely recommend Small & Mighty Pets, both my rescue dogs have different needs and Sam is amazing with them

    I needed someone experienced with my rescue dogs, Sam has a ton of experience and incredible empathy, my dogs run to meet her at the door with excitement 😍

    So happy I found her, she is incredible, if i ever go away without my dogs I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for pet sitting service knowing my dogs would be well cared for.”

    Tracey Wells

  • So efficient...and helpful

    I was recommended to Small and Mighty pets from a friend, I was after some advice about separation anxiety.

    Sam was so efficient with responding to messages and wanted to see a video to see exactly how my dog was when I left him. She was very helpful and has given me a training programme to follow.

    I’m very grateful for her help and advice and non judgement! Thank you!
