Hollybarn Dog Training Puppy Training, Behaviour and Home from Home Boarding Ireland

"Had a fantastic experience gaining so much knowledge & insight from Emma - highly recommend. I reached out to Emma hoping to get some help with my very large breed dog who I was struggling to walk on a lead as his strength & excitement at walk times was too much to handle. After a sit down & a chat with Emma she got to know the doggie & then walking began. Emma has a wealth of knowledge & experience and had a couple of different techniques to try until we found the solution. Glad to report that I can now take my 2 dogs for a walk without any trouble by using Emmas instructions - I gained so much more knowledge from Emma than just dog walking & we sat after for a lovely coffee when all the hard work was done. I got much more from this session than I anticipated & will be recommending to friends & family."

"Emma came into our home to help us with our 1yo female Border Collie. Our dog knows already the basics and recall but we had issues as she ran after other dogs, cars or animals. Emma was on time and came the date she said she would. She spend the all afternoon showing us how to train Bailey and giving us all the tips. It's been two weeks now and we definitely see improvements. Thanks Emma!"

"Emma has cared for two generations of our dogs training and boarding. It’s great knowing your dog is looked after the same way they are at home. Knowing that your dog is safe and comfortable in Emma’s home while you are away is priceless and makes your holiday so much more enjoyable. I was never happy leaving our dogs to sleep in concrete kennels when they have lived all their lives in a home. I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Hollybarn to anyone."

"Absolutely fabulous....... Hollybarn trained my adopted dog and he now listens, walks on the lead without pulling and comes back when called. Hollybarn are second to none in their training so understanding and caring both of dog and owner. The daycare is brilliant in socialising my dog and I now have a beautiful friendly dog. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs help with their dogs behaviour and their own understanding of their dog."

"I would recommend Emma completely. She trained our dog on a three week residential Programme. The main issue was general nervousness (Covid puppy!) and especially with other dogs. When she returned our dog to us, we could see the trust and bond that she had made with her. We spoke a lot and went on a long walk together to review the training. I was completely blown away by the improvements. We are still working on it, but thanks to Emma’s training and guidance, we can really enjoy bringing her out and have the skills to continue to train her over the coming months."
