Here are what some of my customers think of Point Forward Canine Academy….
“I have trained all three of my dogs with Meg over the past 4 years. My dogs and I have successfully completed the Bronze Silver and Gold standards, taken part in competitions, joined Meg in Gun dog & Agility sessions and Scent Tracking off site. These classes with Meg have been invaluable to both the welfare of our dogs and as owners we have learnt a great deal. Meg is always professional yet fun to work with, has a fantastic broad depth of knowledge and clearly loves the dogs. Speaking from 4 years experience with Meg taking all these classes, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her ..”

“Meg is a no nonsense but patient trainer with a great deal of experience and knowledge. Dora and I love our training with her and have come on so well. ”
Bev with Dora
“Buddy has been taking classes for over 4 year with Meg. Sunday mornings are the highlight of his week and I only need to mention Meg’s name and I have his attention and he starts worrying at the door to go. Meg is very knowledgeable and has great rapport with all the dogs. If you’re looking for obedience training, dog sports or gun dog training, Meg is the instructor you need. Training is always fun and enjoyable.”
Andy with Buddy
“We first used Meg to do some 1:1 behavioural training with our Cocker Spaniel Elsie, the help and guidance really worked for us and Elsie is much more confident now. We progressed to using Meg for weekly group training sessions which have been invaluable in continuing Elsie’s training. Meg is very experienced and knowledgeable and gets the best out of the dogs in the class.”
Sam & Barry with Elsie
“My dog Olive and I have been training with Meg for about 3 years now. We cover Obedience lessons, Gun Dog, Sports etc.
Meg's enthusiasm for teaching is infectious and both Olive and myself have learned so much.
Meg is always professional, while also making sure that lessons are fun and enjoyable.
Meg has even given a lot of her time to create an agility 'team', which I am very proud to be a part of, and we compete in the Nationally recognised Kennel Club competitions'.”
Matt with Olive
“Meg is a very understanding trainer, I think me and my dog could try the patience of a saint.”
Carol with Tosca
“I can’t recommend Meg enough.
I contacted almost over a year ago when I was pretty much at breaking point with my puppy. I was put in contact with Meg and I’ve been seeing her for nearly a year now, starting with 1:1 sessions and then joining a puppy group.
Meg has been amazing!! She’s given me the confidence and training techniques to deal with my dog’s behaviour, and we’ve just completed the silver award - not bad for a dog that was reactive, and pretty much hated me.
I never intended to continue with dog training, but with Megs support, seeing Cooper completing the tasks and following my instructions makes me want to do more with him. We now have the bond and relationship that was missing at the beginning. And it’s all thanks to Meg’s knowledge, time, effort and training. .”
Vicki with Cooper
“I have trained both my whippets with Meg is a trainer you can trust and rely on. Here’s why:
- She is 100% invested in the well-being and progress of your dog.
- She carefully plans classes, walks and activities that motivate, and build confidence in your dogs while challenging them to progress
- feedback is constructive and positive so you always know what to do to improve
- come rain or shine she shows up for you
Simply wonderful.”
Hazel with Phoebe & Arthur
“Meg has trained Woody (and me!) for a while now. Meg's approach is adaptable and well-structured, taking into account each dog's needs. The breadth of skills taught through creative exercises cover all aspects of dog behavioural training. Adding to that the important elements of fun and enjoyment provides an excellent all-round experience.”
Kam with Woody
“Meg is an excellent trainer. Highly skilled and also good fun. Myself and Archie have been doing gundog training for nearly 4 years. We have a great group of dogs where we have a good laugh and also are serious when needed!!
Would highly recommend Meg for any dog issues from basic training to behaviour issues along with gundog and agility. Keep the good work up Meg x.”
Richard with Archie
“Meg is a fantastic trainer, who really gets to know and understand the dogs. She is patient with us owners as well. would highly recommend.”
Claire with Bracken
“Our dog Angus has been training for nearly 4 years now. The majority of the time has been with Meg. It has been hugely important for us to train as Angus has been a bit reactive. Meg has developed a good bond with him and he always looks forward to a Saturday when his bag comes out full of training aids and of course treats. So it is fair to say that Meg has not only a good trainer but a good friend to him and the family.”
Graham with Angus
“Meg is a brilliant trainer. Ted and I have been working with her for 3 1/2 years now and love every session (we do regular obedience and agility sessions and some practical walks with her). Every obedience class is very varied, so your dog never gets bored and switches off.
I particularly like the fact that Meg watches all time to see how she can adapt the training - sometimes only very slightly - to help you and your dog work better together: it’s not just a “one size fits all” approach. I am not able to run, so Meg has worked with us to get Ted working at a distance, which makes it possible for us to enjoy and compete in agility classes which I wouldn’t otherwise be able to do. All the dogs love Meg, too!”
Sue with Ted
“We got our very lively bundle of joy a few years ago, and she has been going weekly to Meg’s classes since she was a puppy. She will be turning 3 years this year and with the help and guidance from Meg, she is the most loving and socially raised Rottweiler. Meg has helped me and my husband with lots of little problems that we have come across through our journey in raising a big strong dog. We are both very confident owners thanks to Meg’s teaching. And Bella loves Meg so much.”
Keeley/Carl with Bella
“Meg is a fantastic trainer & has helped me make huge improvements with a very distracted beagle & massivley improved my confidence! Her approach is very adaptive to each dog, and focuses on helping to ensure your dogs needs are fulfilled depending on their breed & individual behaviours!.”
