about turner dog training

I’m Angela Turner, founder of Turner Dog Training.

My journey began with my own dog, Maisey, who sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding dogs on a deeper level. I now share my life with both Maisey and Ivy, two very different dogs who continue to shape my perspective every day.

That experience led me to invest heavily in my education and hands-on training, learning from respected professionals across the UK and USA. What I offer today is a blend of practical knowledge and structured learning — grounded, realistic and always evolving.

The Turner dog Training Ethos

I believe good training is about clear guidance, fairness, and building a strong relationship between dog and owner. Every dog and every owner are different, and it is important to take the time to understand what they need.

My role is to support owners properly, help them work through challenges, and give them the tools to enjoy life with their dog. Training should make sense, be practical, and leave both the dog and the owner better for it.

Transformations From Turner dog Training Clients

The heart of my work is not just in the methods I use, but in the owners and dogs I have had the privilege to work with. I am proud to have helped owners build better relationships with their dogs, overcome challenges they once thought impossible, and enjoy a new level of trust and freedom together.

The transformations I have seen are a reminder of why I do this — and why I am committed to supporting every client properly, with honesty, care, and real guidance.

Myself and my miniature poodle puppy, Kaiser have recently completed the puppy training block. I have thoroughly enjoyed each session and found it very interesting and Angela has been great at breaking everything down so I can understand and is extremely knowledgeable and amazing at what she does, I have felt supported every step of the way and not to mention seeing my wee pups confidence starting to come on has been amazing to see. I'd highly recommend Angela for everything dog training related!🐾🐕
Angela has helped us with some developing less walking problems with our dog. We couldn’t recommend Angela highly enough. The process and techniques are simple and easy to work with. Angela is patent and completely non judgemental. Her only concern is for dog and owner to take away the stress.
Angela has been great at helping me with my puppy during group classes. The classes are small so it's not overwhelming and allows plenty of time to be spent on each puppy as needed.
Contacted Angela for a anxious dog issue , she has been great her training is helping my dog be able to be left alone without chewing furniture
Our dog Iris stayed with Angela whilst we were on holiday. The updates were regular and Iris looked like she was having the time of her life! She enjoyed Angela’s dogs Ivy and Maisey’s company and she came home super happy! Angela not only boarded but also trained alongside and helped improve Iris’ training and skills. I couldn’t fault the communication of the handovers and drop offs and the regular updates and pictures really put us at ease. We also came home to a domestic emergency with our house, Angela happily kept Iris for an extra night and it was no bother to her at all. We can’t wait to use Angela’s boarding again and I’m sure Iris would say the same if she could talk!🤣
We’ve had an exceptional experience with Angela at Turner Dog Training. Her expertise in handling our lively Vizsla, Sophie, was evident in the remarkable progress we made with engagement, lead walking and obedience.

In addition, Angela's careful guidance helping us introduce an e-collar as an extra tool to help us deal specifically with severe reactivity showcased her professionalism and dedication. The thorough and gentle conditioning phase, under Angela's guidance, has yielded fantastic results. Our relationship with our dog Sophie has blossomed, and we now getting back to enjoying normal dog walks with newfound ease.

Angela's overnight home-boarding services were equally outstanding – Sophie felt at home, and her return from a week-long holiday with Angela was marked by a surprising calmness in our usually anxious dog. Angela kept us regularly updated with texts and fabulous photos of Sophie during her stay.

We are sincerely grateful to Angela for her invaluable assistance, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to any dog owner seeking skilled and compassionate training. Angela's expertise and genuine care make Turner Dog Training a top choice for transforming the relationship with your furry friend.
We used the home boarding service for our dog Maggie for 10 days during the summer holidays. Angela sent us daily updates and did some additional training. We were apprehensive about leaving maggie but she loved the experience and we will definitely use Angela for our next holiday.
Angela really is fantastic at what she does, she is so passionate about dogs & truly puts your pet first!
We required puppy visits for our boy Harris, Angela was amazing from the start; she done an initial visit with Harris to make sure they bonded & so that we could see how professional and qualified she is, she took control of the situation by providing us with all info we needed as well as even demonstrating some training. We’re 1st time dog owners so were very nervous about having a stranger take care of our boy & enter our home 5 days a week but Angela settled these nerves so quickly with consistent pics/video updates, we truly trusted she had Harris’ best interest at heart. She is so on the ball with noticing when things aren’t right; she managed to recognise an injury that Harris had developed, and stayed with him until we got home & on another occasion was also quick to remove a Tick from his face when she found it! Angela gave us some great training advice throughout & was always happy to have a chat when we crossed paths on her visits. Overall an amazing dog walker/trainer that has set the bar very high for us in the future! We’d recommend Angela to anyone & will definitely use her boarding/training classes in the future. Good luck in your new venture Angela, we’ll miss you! ☺️ x
