CLIENT REVIEWS
We had a one to one with Aunty Crystal today and we just wanted to say how incredibly grateful we are for it! Crystal is absolutely fantastic and our girl Toast adores her. You can just tell how much working with dogs means to her and her warm approach to training is just what we wanted. We learnt so much and not only did she fill Toast with confidence, she really affirmed to us that we were getting some things right and gave us some really good information and tips on how to handle our girls distractibility. All in all a really encouraging lesson which left us even more proud of our clever girl. Thank you Aunty Crystal we shall see you in adolescent classes soon!
Emily- February 2025
Attended the 4 week adolescent training course and it was great! The methods used worked really well for me and my dog and I could see an improvement straight away. The team at Barker Street are so knowledgeable and were happy to answer all our questions - they are also lovely and my dog fell in love with all of them! Will be keeping an eye out for other sessions and masterclasses!
DONNA- October 2024
What can I say , honestly Rachel and her team are angels to animals in disguise. Rachel came and took my elderly dog ( who was 14 ) out up until she passed away and she helped me with willow so much ! Willow was very slow due to her age and Rachael was so patient , calm, caring, compassionate and kind towards her - she genuinely loves animals from the bottom of her heart it shows ! Without a shadow of a doubt I would recommend Rachel and her team , they are brilliant with owners and they genuinely care and are passionate about dogs , I would not have trusted willow with anyone else !
KIMBERLEY- September 2024
Both Rachael & Sam have walked my bouncy rottie a few times and he loves going out with them. They are highly reliable & go above and beyond.
Recently had a 1:1 training session with Crystal to help us with some behavioural changes & reactivity, and she was amazing. Really knowledgable & makes you feel at ease, as in the past with other trainers I have come away feeling really deflated & bad about myself and my dog.
Would 100% use these ladies every time - thank you 😊
SOPHIE- August 2024
Myself and my puppy Mabel thoroughly enjoyed our training with Barker Street. Very well lead and the team were highly knowledgeable and professional from start to finish - was also lots of fun too! We learnt so much and will remember the techniques to practise on our own. Would highly recommend any new owner to book in with them on their next available course.
Emma- June 2024
would highly recommend, since Ralphy has been going out with you he’s become so much more confident. He loves his walks with you
PAIGE- November 2022
Rachael is highly professional and reliable. She manages Chip so well, as he is not easy, and knows his little ways. Chip absolutely loves her to pieces.I would highly recommend Rachael to anyone, she goes out of her way to make everything special for each dog and makes time for the owner too.
BECKI- November 2022
Rachel has been walking my labrador for around a year and it has been fantastic having someone to trust ,that you know is very knowledgeable about animal welfare . She is very flexible and keeps me updated with my dogs antics ..Rachel loves our pets like they are her own . Highly recommended!
CLAIRE B- 2021
Would highly recommend Rachael. She is extremely reliable and professional. My dog Junior absolutely loves her. He is a very strong dog and literally wants to play with every dog,cat,bird,squirrel etc he sees and is extremely inquisitive . Rachael is so good with him because I know he is not the easiest of dogs to walk but she doesn’t seem to have any problems. I feel much happier leaving for work knowing he is in such good hands. Thank you Rachael :)
HELEN- February 2019
We’ve just completed the puppy course with our 5 month old lab Obi.
First of all we just want to say how lovely and kind and welcoming both Rachael and Chrystal were and how nice the entire group was.
The whole course was so informative for both our pup and for us as owners and we genuinely learnt so much. All of the advice we received was so helpful for both in class and home settings and we have already seen a massive improvement in our boisterous pup. It was also so lovely to receive positive feedback from the trainers on things we had worked on ourselves even prior to the class.
Overall we have had a fantastic time and already can’t wait to return for the adolescent classes once we reach the dreaded teenage phase. Absolutely worth every penny!
Thankyou so much again! 🐶💙
CHLOE- December 2024
I took my puppy Trevor to the 4 week puppy class and it’s the best thing I ever did for him. The team were super friendly and informative and very knowledgeable. Both me and Trevor learnt so much and he got excited every week to socialise with the other puppies in a safe and calm environment. Give your puppies the best start and sign them up for these classes.
EMMA- February 2025
Took my little frenchie George to the puppy class. They were amazing friendly and me and George learnt a great deal. Any help we needed outside of the course they were on hand to answer questions and advice. I would recommend you take your puppy to one of these classes
JULIE- January 2025
Rachel, and Crystal are absolutely fantastic, spent a few hours with them with my dog smudge, I came away with so much knowledge and understanding and confidence on how to train my dog on a loose lead and recall.
I would definitely highly recommend Barker Street to anyone who is struggling with there doggies. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
INGA- August 2024
I would 100% recommend Barker Street Pet Services! We attended the 4 week adolescence classes with our 6 month old Labrador and we learnt so much in these 4 weeks. We previously attended puppy classes with another company however if we were to get another puppy we would be coming back to Barker Street for their classes!!
Rachael and Vikki are absolutely amazing, they built relationships with all the dogs in the classes. It was lovely to see anxious and nervous dogs come out of their shell and interact with other dogs with the support of both Rachael and Vikki.
We also had a 1:1 behaviour session with Vikki where she came to our home and support us with concerns we had with our puppy. She didn’t judge at all and gave us so much advice to help us through some tricky stages of adolescence. She is so knowledgeable and we have learnt so much!!
EMILY- August 2024
Having just completed our 3 week puppy class, I can highly recommend the Barker Street Pet Services team. They’re incredibly knowledgeable & passionate about what they do. Very kind, caring and welcoming. Thank you so much.
BETH- December 2024
What a great team!!! Gertie had first rate instruction and guidance from 2 very knowledgeable and caring people. Rachael and Crystal could not do enough and answered every query we had so we walked away fully informed. Kind caring and patient!! Could not recommend them enough 🔥
DARREN- August 2024
Can’t thank Vikki enough for the time and effort she put into my frenchie who was very reactive.
CHLOE- July 2024
Wow, these ladies defo know their stuff. Ziggy is a larger than normal puppy. The advice and guidance they give whilst helping us to train our lad has been fantastic. Would defo recommend attending one of their classes
LISA- June 2024
I would highly recommend Barker Street PS to any new puppy ( and their hooman). Rachel, Vicky and Crystal all gave wonderful advice and really looked after Scout who started classes as a very nervous pup but by the end of the class was growing in confidence ( I think the chicken helped! 😀).
Thank you for all your guidance - we are keeping up the good work.
SARAH- June 2024
Herbie has been part of his Aunty Rachael’s gang for over 2 years now, he absolutely adores her. When I tell him she’s coming his excitement is off the scale and he’s even developed his own little language just for her She always pairs him up with pals he will bond with and he has so much fun. We trust Rachael completely and thoroughly recommend her x
LIZ- November 2022
Rachel has been walking our dog Walter for over 2 years now and he absolutely loves her. He waits at the door on the days for his walks and is so excited to see her, Rachel is so caring and loving towards Walter and we couldn’t recommend her services enough. She is an amazing dog Walker and is so professional in what she does.
JAMES & MANDA- October 2022
Rachel is really friendly, helpful and really loves all the dogs she walks, sharing photos of their walks. She tries to pair up the dogs for walks which helps them to socialise. Rachel is reliable, trustworthy and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional dog walker. We have also bought the foot balm from her shop, which I would also recommend to keep your best friends paws soft.
ELAINE- 2021
Professional, caring and reliable service. Rachel is amazing with our dog she really enjoys her work and this shines through. Lola is in the best of hands with Rachel we feel so lucky to have such a fantastic lovely lady caring for her while we are busy at work. Rachel is the first dog walker we have ever used and we would never consider anybody else. Rachel offers a fair price for a 1st class service. We highly recommend Rachel and thank her for the time she spends with Lola
CLAIRE- 2021
I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! She is flexible, reliable and really cares about all the dogs that she walks. My dog cannot wait to be out and about with Rachael and his other dog friends.
KATIE- November 2022
I couldn't ask for a better dogwalker in Rachael. She loves my boys like they are her own and I know that in her care they are happy and safe. When we moved over to Gomersal we noticed that our boys had a negative impact in not having a dog walker. They became shy, snappy and not themselves. With Rachael that has completely changed, they are happy, socialised and well behaved. On top of this she always greets my cat and rabbit too. Thank you Rachael!
ABIGAIL- October 2022
Rachael has been looking after Giny for over a year. I will admit to being apprehensive when our work circumstances changed and we needed a walker to help. Rachael came to meet us and I instantly knew we wanted her to help. Giny is a lovely girl but is very boisterous and strong. Rachael was so unfazed when we mentioned this & we all liked her from the outset. I love seeing pictures every time they go out, how happy Giny looks with her friends. I have been lucky the past few months to see Giny's excitement when Rachael arrives and when she brings her home (although I'm sure she doesn't want Aunty Rach to leave!). Rachael is brilliant with animals, it's her absolute passion & her sunny, happy, positive personality is fantastic! Brightens my day as well as Giny's! From the first day Rachael came for Giny my apprehension was gone. Always reliable and accommodating. Thank you Rachael, immensely.
CLAIRE- 2021
We attended Barker street pet services with our 14 week old (mad as a box of frogs) Boxer puppy. Unfortunately we couldn’t attend the first week due to our puppy not being well but Vikki phoned us to go through what we had missed the first week, which we felt was a really nice touch.
The team here are brilliant. Really focused on the right way of doing things properly with the training being all about positivity. You won’t find any of the old fashioned, harsh methods here.
We have benefitted massively from the help, guidance and training that has gone into understanding our puppy which I know will be of huge importance as we progress with her.
If you have a puppy and are wanting puppy classes, please go along. The benefits are clear and the team are super knowledgable, friendly and really made it a positive experience for us and our puppy.
Would highly recommend.
CRAIG- December 2024
Fantastic learnings of how to train the humans train the pooch. Techniques & understanding that will really help the training for years to come. Would absolutely recommend rachel & her team. First class.
STEPHEN- October 2024
Absolutely fantastic trainers, we have just finished our 4 week puppy class and it was brilliant setting both us and our puppy up for a future of success!
Thank you to both Rachel and Crystal!! Dora will miss seeing you each week that’s for sure!
Would definitely recommend to anyone just starting out with a pup!
💜
VICTORIA- August 2024
Fantastic service from start to finish! We were looking for help & advice for our very anxious dog & approached Barker Street to see if it was something they could help with. Rachael assured us that they could & put us in touch with Vikki their behaviourist. We initially had a telephone consultation where we were given lots of tips & advice which we were able to put into practice. This was followed by a meet up which was really helpful! I can thoroughly recommend their services! Thank you so much!
ELAINE- June 2024
Have just completed the 4 week puppy class, and what a difference. We have learnt how our puppy Jasper learns and understands us and how to manage his behaviour. Jasper has loved the sessions and has enjoyed the socialisation. He has been shattered after every session. Would highly recommend the course, for a great foundation for your puppy, to give them such a brilliant start in their training. Thank you.
CAROL- June 2024
Rachael is wonderful with Tucker and he loves her so much he’s giddy with excitement to go on his lovely walks. Tucker sends a big 5 star “ woof” to his Aunty Rachael , he can’t recommend her enough !!
HELEN- November 2022
Rachael is just amazing, her love of animals came across the first time she visited Hugo my Pointer - they bonded instantly. Rachael is completely trustworthy and so reliable, I’m not sure what Hugo and I would do without her. If you’re looking for a reliable dog walker who loves her work then Rachael is the go to person.
IAN- October 2022
We've been using Rachael for a few years now to walk our Bailey and we couldn't be happier with her services. She's friendly, honest, reliable and loves our Bailey to bits. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.
DEBBIE- 2021

DEBBIE- 2021
Very good puppy training classes, they were very knowledgeable with explanations for all reasonings for the ways to train dogs. Very upto date with the research so no old style training. Very aware of safety and wellbeing of dogs too.
Definitely recommend!
Plus Dave absolutely loved it!
JO- February 2025
Me, my 11 year old daughter and Roger (our 7 month old Vizsla) attended an amazing training session with Crystal and Rachael today.
A fantastic team, friendly and very passionate about their work.
Very helpful, made all instructions clear.
We feel more confident with Roger, on and off lead. Looking forward to putting all we have learnt into practice.
Thanks again team Barker Street
DAVINIA- August 2024
We have just completed puppy training with Barker Street Pet Services, the help and advice given has helped and will continue to help us train our little mini dachshund. I will definitely recommend Barker Street to friends and family. Thank you Crystal and Rachael 🐶💙
TANIA- August 2024
We had a fantastic experience with Rachael and Vicky at Barker Street Pet Service's adolescent puppy classes. Both were incredibly enthusiastic and explained training techniques and puppy behaviours brilliantly. We learnt so much and really enjoyed the sessions. Our puppy especially loved socialising with the other dogs. Highly recommend these classes for any puppy owner looking to give their furry friend the best start!
JOHNNY- August 2024
The Barker Street Team are incredible, Rachael and her team are always a quick message away and readily available with any questions and concerns we have and overall passionate and professional. Recently we were able to have some one to one training with our seven month old labradoodle as we were feeling a little overwhelmed with some of her behaviours and were looking for some advice and tips.
Crystal is an absolute angel and has gone above and beyond with helping us understand our puppy’s needs and behaviours so much better. Crystal’s knowledge and reassurance that these are “normal” behaviours for an adolescent dog has given us some much needed relief and we cannot recommend and thank her enough!
JULIE- June 2024
Rachael has a forged a great bond with our cocker, Maggie. Mags loves her walks and is very well looked after
STEVE- November 2022
Rachael's love of dogs shines through. My dog Brian thoroughly enjoys his walks with her. Rachael has helped him to become a more sociable dog following Covid. She has the pets at the heart of all she does. Rachael offers a professional service and is flexible and always reliable. Thank you!!
ANGELA- November 2022
I was struggling with Bruno and racheal literally saved me! After having lots of dog walkers bail on me and Bruno I came across racheal and she was wonderful from the start He absolutely is loving his daily walks and running around in all weathers even off lead! I would recommended to anyone and everyone 100% xx
Ali- 2021
Rachael is so much more than just our dog walker. She has been with us since we got our rescue dog 2 1/2 years ago. She has brought him on so far. She takes him on walks with other dogs and he's always so happy to see her. If we need to change dates or times nothing is too much trouble. Rachael truly loves animals. I would recommend Rachael 100%.
