I recently purchased one of your feeding (dopamine) boxes, and I wanted to say how impressed I am with the overall quality. The materials feel excellent, and the workmanship is first-class. It’s clearly a well-thought-out, durable product, and I’m very happy with it.

I’m currently in the process of transitioning my dog onto the box, and that’s going well. The only small issue I encountered was the depth of the box. For my Border Collie (a medium-sized dog), he could not reach the bottom. I can see it being absolutely ideal for larger breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, or Dobermans.

That said, it was easy enough to solve. I used 20mm EVA foam sheets, available from Amazon.co.uk, cut to size and layered inside the box to raise the floor. If cut accurately, they fit snugly so no food falls between the inserts and the box walls. The foam is quite firm, and it also produces a clear sound when a piece of kibble is dropped in, which helps the dog locate it.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to consider offering two or three insert options to adjust the depth. This would make the box more versatile and suitable for a wider range of breeds, such as Border Collies, Cocker Spaniels, Labradors, and others.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the purchase. Thank you for producing such a high-quality training tool, as I have experienced with all the products I have bought from you—it’s clearly been made with care and attention to detail.

The Place Board works really well in getting my dog to understand that this is a starting point. He realises that he will get his reward treat if he goes there without asking. It’s a sturdy piece of equipment too.

I ordered a place board last year for my WCS, and it is so well made. I loved it so much, I decided to order another 3 for my training classes. Everyone comments on how great they are! Thank you very much. Zoe

Our 5 month old Cocker Spaniel Puppy Winnie has taken brilliantly to her new Place Board. The Place Board arrived well packaged with a personal message which was a lovely touch. The quality is superb & great value!
I am currently encouraging Winnie to go to her board to sit & stay & leave the Place Board with a treat reward during each repetition. She is very enthusiastic! I can highly recommend Anglian Dog Works for their great products 😊

Great home made product, arrived faster than I expected with a beautiful message from Emma and Matt.
I got the board to add to the training materials I had for my working cocker spaniel. He loves it and took to it within the first day! Always love to support a small family business

We've been part of the Agility club for over 2 years. Started when my rescue dog was 7 and we're still going strong now. The club is very friendly and supportive so we always have a great time!

I’m using these with my young Border Collie, Stalker, and I’ve been genuinely impressed with the quality and how useful they are in structured training.

The position box in particular has been excellent for teaching clarity in position work. I’m using it to help prevent creeping, improve straight sits, and build a much cleaner understanding of where he should be in relation to me. It gives the dog a very clear visual and physical reference, which makes a noticeable difference, especially with a driven dog who wants to anticipate.

The balance bars are equally impressive. They’re solid, well-made, and provide a stable platform for developing rear-end awareness, coordination, and overall body control. I’ve found them especially useful for improving Stalker’s engagement and focus, as well as helping him become more aware of his foot placement.

Both products are extremely high quality — you can tell they’ve been properly thought through and built to last, not just thrown together. They feel professional-grade and suitable for anyone serious about their dog training, whether for obedience, working dog foundations, or general fitness work.

Overall, first-class equipment that I would highly recommend.

Emma provides brilliant 1:1 training, and is totally flexible and plans the sessions to meet your dog’s training goals. I wanted to work on weaves, so Emma designed a session where we could practice weave entry and start to build my dog’s confidence with running through the weave channel. She gave me points to focus on at home, and was patient and kept everything at my dog’s pace. Highly recommend.

Our 16 month golden retriever mabel was in need of some extra training, she had learnt the basics from me but with her age she was starting to show some bad behaviour that we needed help with. Emma was recommended to us from a friend, we heard such good things so we reached out and it was the best decision we made!

Mabel had started to push boundaries and had become hard work with her jumping, mouthing and lead walking. She had learnt to just not listen and it was becoming stressful.
We passed on everything we were looking to work on with mabel and we decided to try the done for you sessions and we are so glad we did! The difference from the first day that Emma and mabel started training to now is mind blowing! Emma has worked closely with us with the techniques that work with mabel, she wasnt the easiest dog to train but with Emma's knowledge and support we have cracked it. We can now walk mabel calmly by our side without being pulled! Shes calmer around us all in the house, less jumping and mouthing!

We have decided to carry on our training journey with Emma as it has been so positive to see the change in mabel. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone who is wanting some extra help with training, she has helped us massively! Emma is amazing with your dog but also with us
the owners, I couldn't have done any of what we have done without all her support!

Lovely quality place board, delivered 2 days after placing my weekend order.
Brilliant service - thank you!

I recently took my two very high energy spaniels for a 1:1 training session with Emma. The older one had done an 8 week course with ADW as a puppy so knows a bit, and the the younger one is very keen to give it a go! We’ve done a couple of 1:1s together before and both boys are always super excited to realise where we’ve turned up to!

Emma is brilliant at adapting to their two very different learning styles and levels of prior knowledge, meaning the dogs had an hour of fun and successes and we all came away having had a really great time and feeling like we’d achieved lots rather than any of the frustration that can come with dog training

The “homework” and WhatsApp support in the lead up also gave us a great starting point and meant we could start building our training up together in a known environment and in our own time before taking it to the training field. 45 minute session and we managed to learn “go”, “left” and “tunnel”! And came away with some more fun things to be practicing at home before we book our next session ☺️

Absolutely love the place board. So well made and looks great.

This platform works so well with our puppy (Tusse), she really loves training on it and made it fun for both of us.

Great quality product to help us practice what we have learnt in training. Arrived quickly too.

I was struggling with loose lead walking and recall with our 14 month old Labrador, Ella. Emma worked with us in our 1:1 sessions on strategies to engage Ella in positive behaviour and ways to get her back on track when the excitement of a new situation drowned me out completely. Emma quickly built a lovely rapport with Ella. Emma used her extensive knowledge to introduce a range of drills and then adapt them to the speed at which Ella learnt while channelling her natural instincts. Each session was followed by a summary of what we had covered and videos of us doing the activities to help with practice at home. Emma provided excellent support over WhatsApp between sessions which enabled Ella and me to make additional progress in our own time. I would highly recommend Emma's training.
