Canine Sense Dog Training Reviews 152

Flurina is a 1st class communicator and excellent at reading dogs behaviour to make sure they know what instructions translate to behaviour. I have a very lively and energetic Border Terrier called Earl who did not listen or come back when called - in just 3 sessions he had amazing recall and much better behaviour including listening to No, Down and Come Here which we decided on. Training does not involve greedy dogs getting food. 5* Highly recommended.

Flurina was incredible at making me feel at ease & understanding what I was looking for. She wasn’t scared to try new things that were more suited for my dog. I loved the fact that we could just go for what felt like a normal dog walk but incorporate training into it too. Would highly recommended.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to Flurina!
She was such a massive help with our 11 year old dachshund to get him adjusting to home life with our newborn!
After her visit, things quickly calmed down and we were back to a calm home environment! Thank you!!!

Every dog is different. If the goal is to find a solution to a behavioural problem, the first element of that solution is to find the right help. In our case, I'd tried four previous trainers before I was introduced to Canine Sense. For my sake and for my dog's, I'm truly thankful that we were. My rescue dog's behaviour towards other dogs was beyond my (>30 years') experience and understanding, and was having a wide-reaching impact on our lives. Flurina has given me insights into my dog's nature and temperament, and has taught us both strategies for successful interaction with other dogs. I am just starting to have confidence again on walks, and it is so lovely to be able to stop and chat to other dog owners, rather than diving into a ditch (not quite) or taking a different route to avoid interaction.
Online reviews often feature hyperbole; I can honestly say, however, that I'd recommend Flurina to any dog owner facing difficulties with their dog's behaviour.

I can’t recommend Flurina from Canine Sense highly enough! After bringing home our newborn, I was really struggling to balance everything, and my miniature dachshund Teddy was clearly having a hard time too. He was barking excessively, not following commands, and struggling to adapt to having a baby in the house.

From the very beginning, Flurina was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. She didn’t just train Teddy — she trained me as his human too. She helped me understand his behavior, taught me how to communicate with him more clearly, and gave me practical, realistic tools that actually worked, even during the exhausting newborn phase.

Thanks to Flurina’s guidance, Teddy is calmer, more responsive, and so much better adjusted to our new family dynamic. The difference has been night and day. I’m so grateful to have found Canine Sense and for Flurina’s support during such a vulnerable time. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands both dogs and their humans, I couldn’t recommend her more. 🐾💛

Flurina has been wonderful,
helping Glynis our new family member, to adjust to such alot of upheaval in her 5+years, to become a dog which can have runs off lead and be around other dogs now! Amazing 👏 would highly recommend. Many thanks. Look forward to meeting on the group walks soon.

Flurina was wonderful with my rescue galgo. He had terrible reactivity and was a nightmare to walk on the lead and could never be let off the lead with other dogs around. After only a handful of sessions, he is now walking very well on the lead and can even be let off the lead in public spaces. He is a much happier dog for it and even gets chances to play with other dogs 🙂 thank you so much Flurina!

We have been doing the City Paws sessions with our German Shepherd who was quite nervous in shops, lifts and in busy crowded areas.
With Flurina’s help, we are now able to take our pup into town on busy weekends and she walks by my side in shops and lifts with no issues! Flurina’s sessions are so valuable and helpful!

@canine_sense Thank you Flurina for helping us to turn Remy into the wonderful family dog he is today. We came to you 3 months ago, struggling with 15 week old Remy as his second owners. As a large puppy, unvaccinated and untrained, we were struggling to integrate him into our home. Toilet training issues, dominant behaviour, excessive pulling and a LOT of nipping 🙈. You came highly recommended and rightly so, you helped us turn it round when we were feeling hopeless. Educating us as much as him, your guidance and support have given us confidence and pleasure together. We are so glad we placed our trust in you and can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend 👍.

I booked the puppy package for my pup when he was around 6 months old. Flurina was amazing and gave me lots of confidence and clear guidance in how to deal with certain behaviours. We have since booked on pack & city walks which are very helpful too. I would highly recommend Flurina

Flurina has been an incredible source of support, understanding, and knowledge throughout our journey. Her ability to combine expertise with fun and humour made every session enjoyable and effective.

When we first started working with Flurina back in June, we were on the verge of returning our 5-month-old German Shepherd pup to the RSPCA. One phone call with her completely changed everything.

Today, Mikey is a happy, thriving one-year-old, and we couldn’t imagine life without him. We are so grateful for Flurina’s guidance and dedication—she truly made all the difference.

What can I say, other than Flurina is an angel. After two training sessions with her my labrador has overcome all his fears of walking on a lead in urban areas. He originates from the countryside and had no experience of walking around other dogs, he was anxious and frustrated. Flurina worked with him and within the first 20 minutes he was a different dog. Not only am I more relaxed and comfortable walking him but he now enjoys his walks too.
We also worked on other aspects around waiting, games and off lead. I can't thank Flurina enough, I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Flurina 😊

Flurina has really helped with our Jack Russell, George. When he first came to the group sessions he was a very scared and anxious dog. Since joining and coming to sessions, he has really come out of his shell which has helped when walking him past other dogs.

I tried the pack walks after having one to one sessions. They worked really well for both Frank and George as they’ve built up George’s confidence, and helped Frank learn to ignore other dogs.
Flurina at Canine Sense has been an absolute saviour and made life more enjoyable with my dogs

Flurina recently came to help us with our very reactive lurcher cross. Whilst walking in town, Lexie would lunge and bark at any other dog she came across and did the same with people who lived on our street. Within one session Flurina had given us the tools to tackle this behaviour and we are now walking along our street and around town, past other dogs and people with absolutely no reaction. It’s so much more enjoyable !
Flurina is amazing - her approach is non judgemental, informative and gentle
Hurray for Flurina !

We engaged Flurina in the summer to try snd change the behaviour of our 6 year old Chiwawa dog, Spencer. A rescue dog presenting with aggression towards people and other dogs. Flurina has a deep knowledge of the psychology of dogs and started home visits with Spencer and walking him out to socialise with other dogs. Flurina has worked miracles. We now have a different dog who is not fearful of people and we can have visitors without the worry of him biting. I would highly recommend Flurina to anyone considering changing their dog behaviour.

Flurina is one of my go to trainers/behaviourists on instagram. If I lived in England I definitely would call upon her expertise. She is truly gifted.

To say Flurina has transformed our adolescent Vizsla is an understatement; she’s incredibly knowledgable and got results straight from our first session at a time when our Vizsla was consistently pushing boundaries at home.
The sessions are varied but most of all fun which our dog loves and she now actually looks forward to her training.
Flurina has exceeded all of my expectations (despite coming highly recommended) and I can’t recommend her enough - on top of this she’s a lovely person to boot. A pleasure to work with, thank you Flurina!

Flurina was a godsend we contacted her after we brought our rescue terrier home she was struggling with separation anxiety and crate training. After only an hour with Malaika we noticed a difference allowing us to get some normality back and restoring hope.
We now have a confident little dog and have continued to work with Flurina with both our dogs. We have attended her pack walks, 6 week course and paws in the city which has been great for improving their behaviour and socialisation.

I would not hesitate to recommend Flurina both Max and Malaika (and us) have benefited.

Miracle worker. I had given up hope of my girl having good recall due to crazy prey drive and none of the typical training methods had worked. But 2 sessions with Flurina she was off leash with perfect and recall. And still stil is a year later. Thank you again from Skye and I 😆
