What Our Clients Say About Us
At Chalkie’s School for Dogs, we’re proud to have helped so many dogs and their owners build strong, trusting relationships. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experiences:
Vicky Malcolm
“Couldn’t believe it, within 5 mins our cocker was walking beautifully on a slip lead – we were literally told she was a hopeless case after spending £££’s with previous trainers! This wasn’t a one-off too, every walk since has been a joy! We highly recommend Chalkie, he is very friendly & approachable.”
Chalkie’s School for Dogs Response:
Thank you for your review. I still remember your faces when she was walking beautifully for me so fast. I wasn’t sure if you wanted to hug me or hurt me 😂
Lucy Shotton
“Highly recommend, not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also kind and approachable. He listened to my concerns I was having with Tilly, didn’t judge just took them onboard and fixed them. Really grateful for all of his patience, help and support with Tilly and myself. I can guarantee if you’re in need of help with your dog he’s the man!”

Just don’t tell anyone about my child behaviour courses 😂 Thank you for the review, see you at the next one 😁
Charlotte Burfoot
“I first got in touch with Chalkie after our 9-month-old Labrador thoroughly embarrassed me when we had visitors come to the house. Within 2 sessions, it’s like we’ve got a whole new dog. We’ve covered off so much in such a short space of time, it’s amazing. We’ve now got a dog that walks nicely to heel, he doesn’t bounce up on people anymore, and his recall is so much better. We’re working our way up to some basic gun dog commands at the moment as well. Would highly recommend!”
Chalkie’s School for Dogs Response:
He’s an angel! We have just tapped into his language. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the review.
Sarah Varney-Wiseman
“Genuinely think I witnessed a miracle today – my dog went from absolutely wild to calm and relaxed in less than 5 minutes. I’ve seen other trainers before, done all the homework for months and still seen no difference. Myself and my husband were shocked (and still are!) by the immediate change in her behaviour and I feel so hopeful for our walks now. I have also never met anyone that understands dogs and people so well! Massive thank you and honestly, an absolutely priceless experience.”

Oh I love reading this!!
Kirsty Louise Bleaken
“Highly recommended, very good with dogs (and people). Listens to your problems, easy to talk to, honest, reliable, good time-keeping. 10/10 🙂 Keep up the good work!”
Adelle Mustoe
“I’ve recently rehomed a huge Cane Corso, she’s very strong and was barking and dragging me on the lead. After one session with Ashley, I’m now able to walk her on a loose lead. He’s coming back this week to help with recall. Fantastic, professional dog trainer – highly recommend!”
Chalkie’s School for Dogs Response:
Thank you for the review, she may look like a giant goofball but she’s super intelligent and one amazing dog. You and your whole family are a credit to her.
Kelly Watts
“I would like to say a massive thank you to Ashley. He came to our home for an assessment of both my 2-year-old and five-month-old labs. He gave us good advice and showed us how to use the tools and practice. We are almost a month in, and my 2-year-old is smashing her lead walking and sit stays, and my 5-month-old boy is just a dream to have now he learnt heel, loose lead, and we are now on recall long line. Thank you again Ashley, 100% recommend this trainer.”
Charlie Peterson
“I can’t believe what a difference 1 session with Ashley Chalkie White has made. As a 1-year-old pointer, Odin is actually quite good in most aspects, apart from on the lead. Lead walks were becoming something I dreaded, turning into a battle of wills between the two of us, with me getting my arm pulled out of its socket. After 5 minutes with Chalkie, Odin is now happily trotting alongside me to heel. I have had so many people comment on what a well-behaved dog he is, and it is now a pleasure to walk him on the lead. Can’t wait for our next session, and see where we can go next. (Picture of the goofball for attention!)”
Chalkie’s School for Dogs Response:
Odin is such a fantastic dog, and you’ve done an amazing job with him! I’m so glad we could make such a difference so quickly. Can’t wait to see what we achieve next!
Tina Blunsdon
“I called on Chalkie to help me with my Labradoodle, Billy, who is 3. Billy was becoming reactive to dogs on the lead, which was scary at times. Also, when people visited the home, he went mad with excitement. We had one session and I cannot believe the difference. I know I was doing something which wasn’t helping the situation, and once I understood what was needed to be done, everything changed. Billy is now calm when I allow him to meet visitors, and he is less reactive to dogs, and walking him is not stressful. We have a way to go, but I now have the confidence which is making a huge difference. Chalkie is also available for advice and encouragement. Looking forward to our next session with Chalkie and his gorgeous dogs.”

Thank you for such a lovely review. Keep up the good work and enjoy every moment.
Rich Wells
“I got in touch as I had tried absolutely everything to get our Springer Spaniel walking nicely on a lead. After just one session, I saw a huge improvement, and he is now doing things I never imagined he would. Lots of work to do, but with a very knowledgeable and approachable trainer, I am very confident we will get there this time. Listens to my concerns and what I want from the training and tailors the tools and techniques, working with the dog’s strengths. I would highly recommend and look forward to many more sessions.”
