Mel has worked with me and my very nervous rescue dog. She is very knowledgeable and has helped my dog gain confidence by suggesting fun games for us to play together. She has been really understanding of his needs and has adapted the training to take this into consideration. I would definitely recommend Mel if you need a dog trainer.

I approached Mel because my 4yo crossbreed had zero impulse control, would lunge at people or dogs to say hello (she’d scare people she was so over the top!), would yelp and whine whenever she saw anything she wanted to chase (which was basically everything), would yelp the entire walk if the children were out with us, she made it impossible for people to come to the house because she was so crazy happy to see them.... basically, she was a nightmare and I really didn’t like her anymore. Tbh, I thought she was a lost cause and blamed her breed mix.
Fast forward half a dozen training sessions and I love my dog again! She can walk calmly passed other dogs, I can invite people to the house again without them getting mauled and children don’t hide behind their parents when they see us. It’s nothing short of a miracle!!

Mel Taylor has been an amazing help for us with our Romanian rescue puppy. We were struggling with issues such as our puppy biting and nipping at us, and not wanting to go out for walks, or walk on the lead. In a few short sessions, Mel did an amazing job and now our puppy walks on the lead really well. Mel is always ready with additional support. Even in lockdown, Mel has been there with contact by email, encouragement, support and ideas to help. Mel has been an amazing trainer.

Mel was great helping us with puppy training (or owner training as it really was for me). Got me through the “what have we done!” horrors of being a newbie dog mumma. Thank you Mel!

Our agility lessons are always fun and informative. Lots of tips and games to help. We always finish on a high so that we leave the lesson feeling good .

I booked some puppy training with Mel for our newest addition to the family and it has made a huge difference!
Having conquered some of the basics over the first few sessions, one of the key issues we wanted to address was lead pulling. Since the training with Mel, it’s like walking a different dog! I no longer get dragged along the road on our walks, we can enjoy a relaxing walk together with no pulling.
Through a mixture of fun games and simple training drills, we have seen marked improvements in recall and we have learned how to set boundaries and encourage good behaviour.
I would definitely recommend Mel’s training, as her knowledge and experience ensures she can guide you and your dog down the right path to achieve a positive outcome.

I started Mantrailing with my 2-year-old rescue dog in Summer 2022 and we absolutely love it. We did the Introduction and Foundation and have completed 3 Progression Trails. I had been worried it would be difficult with Alba as she isn’t the bravest of dogs and can be anxious around other dogs. I need not have worried as Mel understands this perfectly and tailors each trail to suit the dog taking additional measures to help the dog where triggers may be encountered. Learning more about Alba’s body language and what she is telling me has been fascinating and seeing her obvious joy when she knows we are Mantrailing is a delight. It is great value for money, and I can’t recommend Mel highly enough. We are hooked!
