Where to begin… We started on the ‘sexier than a squirrel’ challenge and I could feel the bond and relationship between me and my dog strengthening, with her becoming more attentive to me. I became less frustrated as I felt we were growing the type of behaviour that would be helpful and she was looking to me more when getting stressed rather than reacting and behaving as if I was just a solid obstacle at the other end of the lead…

It’s a journey and we still have some ups and downs with reactions (both of us!). However, I feel that I have a few more tricks up my sleeve to help diffuse reactive situations for her and I know we can just walk away rather than fight with the environment and it doesn’t mean she has ‘won’…(BIG important lesson).

I take the games everywhere and they are a regular part of all the walks and training sessions we do.

On another note; I’ve had some tech issues and I am so delighted with the response and support that I have had.

A big thank you 🤩 🙏

I totally recommend everyone reading this to prepare themselves to embark on a transformative journey into the world of dog training excellence with Absolute Dogs. They have been my beacon of hope that every pet owner navigating the tumultuous seas of canine behaviour may need. My initiation into their realm was stumbling upon the captivating allure of the "Sexier Than a Squirrel Challenge" on Facebook, which was a revelation for me grappling with my rescue dogs’ behavioural quirks.
But it didn't end there. Enthralled by their magnetic charm and unwavering dedication to canine companionship, I found solace and enlightenment in their weekly podcasts—a symphony of wisdom and encouragement that resonated deeply within me, soothing my insecurities, and lighting the path towards a harmonious relationship with my two collies.
The allure of their Games Club has been the final piece of the jigsaw for me. Despite initial hesitation, I succumbed to curiosity, and in January 2024, took the plunge, a decision I do not regret at all. The introductory offer proved to be a gateway to a treasure trove of invaluable resources, with a wealth of enlightenment delivered through a wide variety of media. It continues to daily enrich my understanding and empowers me with the tools necessary to nurture the bond with my super collies.
For those adorned with the title of "Naughty But Nice," Absolute Dogs is a guiding light of hope and success where our challenges are met with empathy, and victories shared and celebrated. Their ethos of optimism permeates through everything they do.
To the amazing Lauren and Team AD, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for helping us on our continuing journey to success, promoting the catalyst of change, and being the guardians of a brighter tomorrow all us dog owners with challenging, gorgeous dogs desperately need.

I found AD during the Covid lockdown when I was searching for help for my anxious Staffy. I found Sexier than a squirrel and here my journey began!!!

I’ve walked step by step through the journey of building confidence, not only for my dog but myself also!💪🏻
Ive learnt soooo many new skills with the wonderful guidance of all of the trainers!!🫶🏻
I’ve taken part in live zooms with support of the many different staff with different areas of expertise. Ive watched badges (courses) over and over until I completely understand, I’ve joined in with Super Trainer Live which is a whole weekend of online energy, education, experiences…..🥳🤪🐾
I am part of the communities within circle where we all support each other and can offer guidance when struggling, just feels like we can give each other a long distance hug when it is needed most!!🥰
This Easter I am off to Bowerlands to fill my knowledge bucket EVEN more!! I will learn, I will absorb and I will help my baby to move forward and this is ALL thanks to Absolute Dogs!!! 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻

Absolute Dogs is the best 😍
They’ve taught me so much. They helped me out with my rescue dalmatian who was really food aggressive and dog and people reactive. Through their games based training he ignores most people while out and about. My puppy german shepherd learnt so much through the games club and puppy online course. The games helped out at our rescue kennels to build confidence and a bond with the dogs. I’ve never seen dog training so fun and the trainers give off so many positive and energetic vibes which i LOVE ❤️ 100% recommend

Amazing, supportive, informational, uplifting, just fabulous! What more can I say except that Absolute Dogs has literally changed my life, after an accident running which resulted in a shoulder replacement I could no longer do my old job as I now have very limited movement in my right arm as lost my rotator cuff also (thankfully I am left handed.) I did the PDT course and many other like Geek following on and now have a thriving dog training business in Chichester. I must thank Lauren personally, as her enthusiasm and brilliance is like a bright star guiding us all forward and sharing all her amazing knowledge. The other trainers too are amazing, like Sam, Samira and Michelle and Kev and I thank you all and the community and support of the Absolute dogs and PDT Club team.
If you have a dream to become a dog trainer or even to understand your dog and have a much improved relationship, then do not hesitate to start to follow the joy and knowledge which is ABSOLUTE DOGS. Thank you all for helping to make my dreams into a reality and to enjoy the ride to boot!!

Top course about Scent work!
I finally found a course about Scent work that has teached me great foundations! Me and our Spaniels so much love it and we will also give the Border Collies a try. Thank you!!!

My first experience with aD was their Pro Dog Trainer Program. The amount that I learned in their program was immense and has changed my view on how to handle difficult situations with my dog. Where other trainers made me feel guilty or unworthy, aD has lifted me up and given me the courage to break stigmas with my naughty but nice dog and help raise others as well in their dog owning journey.

On several occassions I have had contact with people at Absolute Dogs, either for information or orders I've placed. Every reply is very kind and specific in what is done to help answer my question or solve a problem. I haven't recieved such superb customer service with any other company! It's part of why I keep purchasing products directly from them instead of through third parties. That said. I love the products. The books are clear and helpful and I've been part of Gamesclub for a few months now. The conceptbased training is exactly what I needed to help my dog. She loves playing the games with me and we have a lot more good days for her now. We are making progress developing some necessary and helpfull skills for her and above all: we are having a lot of fun ignoring the (for her) scary squirrels in the world!

The training is amazing game based but the result you get are amazing and the team are always so helpful if you have a question

I have been with games club for a couple of years now. I first came across absolute dogs after searching endlessly and trying all different training and it was getting us nowhere with our bordercollie.
I first purchased STAS program and from that day I started it changed my mindset and focus and it has been an absolute game changer for my border collie.
Game based training is the way forward I now have a calm bordercollie in the house when visitors come and I feel relaxed and not stressed.


Customer service is excellent and they always respond quickly to help with any issues or training troubles to point you in the right direction.

I highly recommend absolute dogs games club and their courses to anyone. It really is life changing!!!

Absolute Dogs saved my relationship! Having owned dogs all my adult life, I found myself severely challenged having taken on a 5 month old puppy with separation issues, high chase drive and dog-dog reactivity. Absolute Dogs games based training and knowledge has given me the skills to help him with his struggles and to turn our relationship around. In my opinion, Absolute Dogs is the best online dog training program available.

I have used this company since the first lockdown and they have helped and inspired me ever since with my dogs. Brilliant positive training, fun and enriching, cannot recommend highly enough.

Finding Absolute Dogs has been the best thing ever. It has changed my life, my dog’s life & is truly the best thing I have ever done. I am now an AD Pro Dog Trainer living my passion helping my own dog & many amazing dogs & their owners. I love it, will never look back & highly recommend games based concept training. Playing games & having fun, why wouldn’t you, whilst boosting relationship at the same time. I like to think of it as spending quality time with my dog while teaching important, valuable life skills at the same time … and it is for ALL dogs of any age, breed & size. It has taught me to listen to & understand dogs so much better & work with the dog in front me … because every dog is different. This way of training is kind, fun, positivity rewarding, prepares ‘for’ the situation & absolutely achieves real life results & transformations. Lauren & the AD Team deliver high quality training & support, they are immensely passionate about what they do, it is easy to understand & follow & there are many valuable resources, Games Club being one of them. This is where the games are & many other resources & digital courses, there is so much value. Independent of Games Club there are also many other courses & books, look out for offers because they’re always happening, to keep forever. The AD community is the best place to be a part of with fellow dog owners & PDTs. A wealth of knowledge, positive energy & support. I for one have made many lifelong friends. I could not be without AD & cannot imagine another way of training … and it is more than dog training because my own mindset is supported too. I highly recommend Absolute Dogs for all dog owners, dog lovers & anybody who wants to work with dogs. Everybody should know about AD & the scientifically proven success of games based concept training.

I stumbled upon absolute dogs and it has been the best discovery I have made.
I started with a reactive girl who was not making any progress with training. This style and approach has helped us almost completely overcome her struggles. We have access to the tools for the next steps whenever we are ready to progress.
I then adopted a second dog and boy is he hard work. But I have everything I need in this community to tackle every struggle.
The online access to training makes it so easy to use, fits into my day whenever I can use it, and give such variety that it is sure to help with any dog struggle you can come up with.
Then the community of game changes are always there to listen and help when needed.
Highly recommended.

Absolute-Dogs has a bounty of wonderful courses. I’m a member of Pro Dog Trainer Club and it is packed full of games and information - training, behavior, agility, scent work, tricks, and much more. Every level offered by A-D is a great value.

I have been learning with Absolute Dogs since 2021. Following games-based training, delivered by experts, has and continues to be transformational for my dog’s behaviour.

When we started games based training my dog was dangerously reactive, was overwhelmed by most environments, couldn’t cope with being alone for more than a few seconds, and was completely intolerant of visitors.

The same dog is now much calmer in a range of environments and in the presence of a range of distractions, is comfortable spending some time alone, is learning that visitors are nothing to worry about, and LOVES playing games with us!

Lauren and her team are excellent trainers. She is so upbeat and excited about what she does that it runs off on you. It is money well spent!

Great team of trainers on hand whenever I’ve needed them. I’ve always found a way to help my dogs when they have struggles. My knowledge and learning grows all the time. The AD community is just superb x
