We have been man-trailing for over a year with SWS, Barney our little reactive cockerpoo has come on leaps and bounds with his confidence. It has been really great to be able to take part in a community which accepts all dogs. We have just signed up for some scent classes too. India is amazing and Barney loves taking part in everything. Absolutely recommend SWS and every dog needs to try man-trailing, they will love it!!

Sit Walk Stay have been absolutely amazing for my doggo. Our girly is a little reactive and ever since doing sniffer dog training she has calmed down and has become much more confident. She also absolutely loves her one to one walks with India also. Can't recommend enough.

I can not praise Sit Walk and Stay enough!! India and lizzie both provide an upmost professional service, with dogs always at their core. We have used their group walking services for a few years, our Luna loves her adventures. Always providing a fun time socialising with her friends. Exceptionally knowledgeable regarding all aspects of behaviour, training and doggy first aid. They always go above and beyond. We also have used their pet sitting services, excellent also, the amount of pampering, attention and walks fantastic. We always receive picture updates and videos ! Thank you India and Liz, Luna loves her Sit Walk and Stay adventures! X

Finch and I began Scent Detection in February last year. My aim was to find Finch an enjoyable and stimulating activity, while also deepening our connection by working together as a team. Initially, I had reservations about whether Finch would grasp what was required of him. However, with constructive support and guidance from India, Finch quickly got the hang of it. His progress was evident as he successfully achieved Bronze, Silver and Gold UK Sniffer Dogs Scent Detection awards. India ensures that every session is engaging, diverse, challenging and fun. Recently we have started exploring Mantrailing and Finch truly thrives when tracking in a variety of environments. Participating in these sessions also provides the opportunity to meet fellow owners who share similar interests. There is a genuine sense of celebration for every dog's individual achievements within the group, and everyone appreciates the unique characteristics of both owners and their dogs! India and Lizz are patient, considerate and knowledgeable in their field and their passion for what they do is clear to see.

We have been doing Mantrailing and Scentwork with India for over a year now and would highly recommend Sit Walk Stay to anyone looking for activities to do with their dog. My collie can be reactive to both people and other dogs but the training sessions are so supportive and well co-ordinated that he has hardly shown any signs of being worried about anything, and is always keen to participate. India is always cheerful, supportive and determined to find a way to help you and your dog improve. She has a huge expertise and can offer advice or suggestions on all aspects of training that come up. There is always new information to consider and new themes to make the sessions fun. My collie now totally loves any training exercises that let him use his nose – and gets really excited when we get the scenting kit out at home and he realises that we are going to practice around the house and garden. We have found a lovely community of people who understand dogs and also activities that we will be able to do throughout his life.

We couldn’t be happier with Sit Walk Stay! Our cockapoo has been going out with them every Tuesday since he was just 12 weeks old, and now at 8 months, he absolutely adores them. He gets so excited the moment he hears their van pull up outside, tail wagging, ready to jump straight in! It’s clear how much he loves them and enjoys his walks, especially the group outings where he gets to socialise with other dogs. The team take such great care of him. We really appreciate the tracker they use before each walk, it’s so reassuring to be able to see where he’s been and know he’s safe while he’s out. We also appreciate the photos and videos of our pup and his pals after his walk. They’re also always happy to offer amazing advice whenever we ask, which has been so helpful as first-time dog owners. We’ve always trusted them with a key while we’re out, and they’ve always been incredibly respectful of our home and followed all instructions perfectly. He always comes back happy, well-exercised, and completely worn out, which says it all! We’d highly recommend Sit Walk Stay to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional dog walkers.

Me and Obie have been joining India for mantrailing training for some time now, and I can’t recommend her enough. She really understands dogs and their behaviour. Obie is a reactive dog towards both people and other dogs, so I was extremely nervous at first. India immediately put me at ease, and the progress Obie has made has been incredible—he now calmly ignores other dogs and is genuinely happy to search for a stranger with his ball, all without anxiety. She has built both my confidence and Obie’s, and is always professional, prompt with appointments, and happy to answer any questions I have. Thank you so much we are happy to have joined

We’ve been using SWS for years now and cannot recommend them enough…. Both India and Lizzie are amazing with our doglet! She always comes back knackered, hungry and contented. The updated photos and videos taken during her stomp are amazing to see after each walk and because of the tracker, we know she is both safe and well stretched. We really can’t recommend India and her team highly enough…. As you can tell from the photos, even the dog loves it!

What can I say, India is wonderful at was she does! We had heard about Mantrailing and wanted to give it a go with our very nose led bouncy Staffy cross. We attended the introductory session which was brilliant, India is very knowledgeable and explained in great detail how the dogs pick up and identify scents. I was absolutely amazed at how my dog just seemed to know what to do! We have now attended a few more progression sessions and our boy absolutely loves it, I love watching him track a scent and then find the person he is looking for and he's so pleased with himself when he finds them! The sessions are good fun and a lovely atmosphere, India is very inclusive of all dogs and owners and facilitates a no judgement environment. I cant wait for our next session. If its something you're thinking about doing with your dog, don't think any longer, get your self booked in, your dog will thank you for it!
