Had another great training session today with my 8month old German Shepherd I was struggling with other dogs and recall, with in no time my uncontrollable dog was like a new well behaved dog. Dave is such a nice chap always on time and very approachable with all problems and question and certainly knows his dogs More...

Highly recommend. After a bit of a traumatic accident as a young puppy we tended to be a bit soft on Kernel, our springer. He really needed us to be more authoritative when out walking, Dave showed us how to do this really quickly and safely. Kernel is so much easier now, thanks Dave for all your help and advice. More...

Our dog Bailey was in desperate need of help. his reaction to dogs was so aggressive we couldn't walk him without being accidentally bit. we called Dave for help & Wow! He still has a long journey ahead of him but thanks to Dave we now have the procedures to work with him. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars More...

I can’t recommend Dave enough. My Dougal has made such great progress. I’m actually enjoying being his human. He’s still a crazy little pup, but I’m learning as much as he is. I braved letting him of the lead today for the first time. He happily played and interacted with lots of dogs. He loved it More...

Dave was amazing, calm and professional. He sorted Archie's Barking pretty much straight away, then actually got Hamish to stop Barking at the TV! No nonsense approach and gave practical tips to work on. Would definitely recommend him to anyone having problems with their dog. Thank you Dave x More...

Dave was brilliant at training my GSD pup. We’d had some problems with him biting my young daughter and Dave nipped it straight in the bud and gave us some very helpful advice to keep him in check as he had issues with dominance. Since then he’s been a different dog and a credit to our family. Thank you so much for all of your help and I’ll definitely be in touch in the future for help with recall training. More...
