About Abbietails
Abbie & Bonnies story
Yes it can be done!
Abbie is the head trainer for abbietails. She grew up around dogs from the age of 2 years old and from then felt her passion for animals. Being able to understand animals (more than people in most aspects) has given her the passion to work with them. Starting with her first rescue pup in 2017 Tetley - a Chihuahua cross Jack Russel! (yes he is yappy), she pushed herself to learn the most she could about the way dogs think and how they communicate with each other. After spending 4 years at university learning animal science, she then went on to create ABBIETAILS!
In 2024 Bonnie joined the gang. Now this is where it gets interesting...Bonnie is a fox red lab who was found by Abbie through a facebook "rehoming" organisation (who has now disappeared off the face of the earth). Looking for a dog that could keep up with the hard work of helping train other dogs, well a lab was the first to attract attention! However, after a couple of days it was clear that this "fun loving" "perfect at everything" rescue dog was infact the complete opposite. Yes...reactive to everything, everyone and would happily tear off every chance she could get. It was time to get to work...and fast. After quite literal blood, sweat and tears on Abbie's part, Bonnie has shown her full potential and is now the great stooge dog you will meet when doing training sessions with us.

Testimonials
Don't just take our word for it, here are what some of our customers have said.
Ralph
Abbie is fabulous! When you have to leave your dog with someone it is really hard. You have to trust them and know that your dog is happy and safe.
My dog loves Abbie and goes insane when he sees her and she loves him back!
Would 100% recommend her.
Monty
Our doggo has just come back from his first dog walking session with Abbie and his happy face says it all. He's clearly had the best time and been able to make new friends in a safe environment.
I highly recommend Abbie for your doggo needs. Our black lab can't wait to go again!
Woody
I hired Abbie to walk my dog which then I enrolled him in a puppy class, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Abbie is incredibly reliable and patient, providing my pup with the exercise and attention he needs, which shows as Woody adores her. It is evident that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care.
The puppy class was equally fantastic! Abbie was knowledgeable and created a fun, engaging environment for both the puppies and their owners. Woody has learned so much and has become more confident and well-behaved (doing great at “leave it”) 
I highly recommend Abbies services to any dog owner looking for a trusted walker or a great puppy training class!
