Specialist dog training business in Chertsey shortlisted for prestigious industry awards

Animal Evalution offers expert dog training, walking, and tailored pet care, as well as providing professionally trained dogs and handlers for stage and screen productions.

The business, founded and run by Eveey Ruth, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Animal Star Awards 2026, which celebrate excellence and dedication in the animal care industry.

Over the years, Animal Evalution has already been recognised with multiple accolades, including:

• Best Animal Talent & Obedience Training Provider
• Best Dog Sitting & Talent Training Specialist
• Specialist Dog Training Provider of the Year
• Best Animal Talent Training Provider
• Best Dog Behaviour Training Service

Eveey said: “Building Animal Evalution from the ground up has been a journey filled with hard work, passion, and so much love for the animals we care for.

“To be nominated alongside so many other inspiring businesses is an honour – and it shows just how much our dedication to pets and their people matters.”

Animal Evalution’s reputation is backed by long-standing client relationships.

One customer said: “I have two cockapoos. My oldest, Pasha, was an absolute nightmare pup – another trainer told me if she was theirs they would have taken her back to the seller.

“Then we met Eveey, and haven’t looked back. Eveey helped me iron out Pasha’s bad habits and has been supporting me all these years.

“Eveey even trained Pasha to appear with her in a Peter Pan panto run.

“Luna, the younger pup, stayed with Eveey the first few weeks after I got her and she crate trained and socialised her.

“Both dogs love Eveey to bits. I trust her totally.

“As well as training, walking and day care, Eveey has also pet sat with them at my house and taken them to dog shows.

“I cannot imagine what it would have been like for us without her support all these years.”

Theatre companies have also praised the business. One stage manager said: “Animal Evalution was highly recommended to me by another stage manager.

“I felt very confident when offering Eveey’s information to Enchanted Entertainment because of her professional air and understanding of what I needed from her and Bella.

“Bella was a brilliant choice as Toto for our touring production of The Wizard of Oz. She was very well-behaved and friendly with the company.

“Eveey and Bella exceeded expectations and fulfilled the job role perfectly."
