We adopted a a 6 year old choc lab retriever just 2 weeks ago. Molly is a lovely dog in and around the house but had not been socialised and been bullied by another dog in her previous home. We quickly realised there was a problem as soon as we tried to walk her in the local park. As soon as she saw any dog she was very reactive and we could barely hold on to her. We contacted Joe last week and he came to our house on Monday. In a few hours he made a massive difference, explained her/our problem and showed us how to walk her and then got her to ignore other dogs in the park, read her body language and showed us how to deal with her. On Tuesday however we contacted Joe by phone to advise him her walking was much easier but very reactive to other dogs. He immediately suggested he return and did so today. We feel much reassured that we will be able to continue this training in the knowledge that Joe is on the end of a phone and will make himself available to us at any time. Definitely recommend this gentleman who shared his understanding of dogs with us. More...

I had found Joe after a lot of research online. Joe came to our house around a week ago to help us with our boy Bruce who is a 9 year old dachshund and is very nervous, reactive and in constant need of attention. The couple of hours that Joe spent with us he was already able to get Bruce to stay in his own bed and walk beside us on a lead - not pulling and not barking at other dogs. Usually Bruce was always up on the sofa, inbetween my boyfriend and I, he literally never would’ve let us near each other. A goodbye kiss was an absolute no no as he would’ve stood growling or barking and sometimes even getting into the middle of us. We are now able to do this without him even reacting which in a day was a MASSIVE step for us. When out on walks he would’ve pulled a lot and anytime he seen another dog or person it just would’ve been constant barking. He now does not pull and although he tries to chance his arm sometimes. he doesn’t bark nearly as much as he did maybe just one bark here and there but it usually would’ve been constant and trying to pull to get to people. Walks for us have become so much more peaceful and stress free. Personally I cannot Thank Joe enough for being our absolute saving grace and not only that but Joe has kept in contact with us ever since he left the house. 10/10 gentleman. So grateful to have found you, you’ve already changed our life for the better. Thank you again. Tori and Adam from cloughey 🥰 *Also to anyone reading this please remember you need to keep up with the training that Joe has showed you* More...

We had the pleasure of Joe coming to our home last week, within minutes he had our 5year old cockapoo in his bed the quietest we’ve heard him. Our anxious dog had problems barking, reactivity and pulling on the lead. Joe was able to show us how to get our dog calm so that our walks are more enjoyable for us all More...

From the moment Joe arrived, there was a shift in the atmosphere. Our dachshund Bram must have known that change was coming because he lost his mind at Joe.
Never seen barking like it, even jumping at him to try and get up. Joe flexed his knees, and Bram fell silent.
My wife, Rachel, and I love Bram. He's sweet and loves our company; we love him being in our lives. The only problem is the rest of the world was becoming an issue for him. Car drives past the window, bark bark bark, someone appears on the TV, bark bark bark, I enter the house via the front door after being away for a grand total of two minutes, bark bark bark. You get the idea. It was taking a toll on both of us. When my wife was out, it left Bram and me; he was so needy and always wanted to play. It was slowly dragging me down.
My wife reached out to Joe. She was sceptical, but Bram was a good boy. He was perfect when we got him, so well behaved, but in a short space of time, we had ruined him by treating him like a human.
Within an hour, Joe had him staying in his bed without a lead. He even had us throwing ham down in front of him, and Bram didn't budge. Before, the ham would not have even touched the ground.
Joe even had us take Bram for a walk, which Rachel and I both dreaded because it was 10% walk, 90% barking at a shadow or a leaf that fell funny. Bram walked without stopping to sniff, let alone bark. My wife and I were amazed.
Joe also answered many of our questions and gave good guidance regarding how to act in the future. It was never Bram's fault; it was ours because we were inconsistent and lacked confidence. Joe showed us what to do. He was fantastic and friendly and gave us the confidence to turn a good boy into the greatest boy. He is worth every penny. I cannot recommend him enough.

Joe was very friendly and professional and had both my dogs eating out of the palm of his hand. In 3 hours they weren’t barking at other dogs, jumping out of the boot of car or pulling on lead plus a few other things. If you’re thinking of hiring a trainer you can’t get any better. My dogs are like different dogs they are so well behaved More...

Joe came to help with our dog Rosie who has been very dominant and had a few behaviour issues. Within an hour he had her eating out of the palm of his hand and walking her will now be a breeze. It can be hard to do right by your dog as sometimes it seems harsh but just being firm is all we have needed (tough love). Couldn’t recommend more thanks Joe. More...
Charlene Malone
Joe was amazing from the moment he stepped through the door. In a single session he taught us how to create an environment for our dogs that enable them to be calm which in turn allowed us both to relax more. We just adopted a rescue who was so anxious and nervous that we both struggled with the stress of trying to keep her calm and in turn this was unsettling our 4 year old sproodle. As I write this we have two sleeping dogs snuggled up in their beds and they no longer dominate the 4 seater sofa. The advice and knowledge Joe has is second to none and all of his advice made sense. The main thing we got from the session was Joe teaching us, not Joe teaching the dogs. He instilled in us the skills we need to be more confident and responsible dog owners. Thanks again Joe, you are excellent at what you do! More...

I had the pleasure of having Joe train my dogs, and the experience was nothing short of amazing!
I contacted Joe about my 2 year old Rottweiler who was reactive to people entering the house and had no recall, we also have a shih tzu who has changed significantly since Joe visited.
From the moment Joe arrived at my home, it was clear that he was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Within 30 minutes he had both dogs on their beds chilling, and he took the time to understand my dogs' behaviours and what we were struggling with and then tailored the training specifically to their needs helping our situation.
Within just a few days, I saw significant improvements in their obedience, responsiveness, and overall behavior. What I appreciated most was his patient, calm approach, he made the process feel stress-free and understandable for me. He also equipped me with techniques to continue reinforcing the training on my own and any questions we had Joe was more than happy to answer.
I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for professional, effective dog training. He has made our home a much calmer and safer place with both dogs relaxed and enjoying the routine they are now in!
Thank you so much Joe!!

Joe was fantastic. We have two irish setters, one 9yo & one 2yo. We called joe for the 2yo as he barked aggressively at anyone walking past our house, into our drive or house, he had snapped at delivery drivers and we were at our wits end on what to do with him. Within the first minute of his visit joe identified the older dog as the root of the issue. Joe was with us for 3 hours and in that time he has changed our dogs lives for the better, our neighbour was able to call over, which would send our 2yo into an aggressive episode, and both dogs were calm and controlled during the visist and we were able to take both dogs out on a walk which wasn't possible before. Fantastic man, we would highly recommend More...

Teddy barked uncontrollably and didn’t like any one coming in or leaving our house or even walking past our garden. He guarded us. On walks he would bark uncontrollably at other dogs and people and wee every couple of houses. He jumped up all over our furniture especially the sofa beside the window so he could see out and bark. Joe called out with us for around 4 hours and now we have been able to walk Teddy without him barking or pulling on the lead. We are working on keeping him off the furniture but can see a difference already. Joe was able to put food on the ground and Teddy stayed away from it. We had a good experience and I would recommend Joe. More...

Joe has transformed our young Border Collie pup and our lives as walking him was becoming unbearable. Pulling and barking was becoming a real issue and in the matter of 30mins that all changed when we took him for a walk. For the first time I was able to relax and walk with my wonderful dog at my side, the experience brought tears to my eyes as just a few days before I felt that I wasn’t the right owner for this hyper energetic working dog. Joe has taught me how to work with him and it really has transformed my life - I would highly recommend Joe and just wish I had called him sooner and saved myself and my husband a lot of stress More...

Very professional and brilliant at the tactics he preaches. We have an 11 Month old bully that was ignorant and not well responsive. After 2 hrs with Joe we could see how well mannered our dog could become. Before I couldn't have him 30m from a dog with Joe and still now he is as good as gold up close with dogs. Well mannered in house. I now see a very bright future for my pup couldn't thank Joe enough for what he has taught us and our pets and worth every penny. More...

Joe is absolutely AMAZING at what he does and so much knowledge! Within 3 hours he left us with a total different dog, I was unable to walk our GSD due to pulling and reactivity and in general not being able to settle in the house.

I can’t thank enough Joe for the work he’s done in our household with our three dogs all in one appointment! He’s a very passionate and professional at what he does. We could see a huge difference in all three of them straight away and the best thing is that it will only improve from now on! All my dogs had behaviour issues, i.e. a lot of barking, jumping, not walking properly on the lead, not listening to my commands, etc and their behaviour is not even half as bad after just one visit. Just WOW. Thank you so much Joe. Highly recommend - this man is a dog Whisper! More...

Joe helped us with our German shepard pup, who was anxious and walking was awful. I needed more training than her as I had become stressed with her pulling and fear behaviour, so with his guidance we are both completely different. He explains dogs body language to help you understand them better, and his suggestions have really enabled us to be in control. I'm no longer reinforcing her fear on walks and she is becoming much calmer which is so good to see. He even came back when we were struggling the next day and put us back on track. 🙂 More...

Joe is amazing at what he does, he has such a calm but assertive energy, we got him out to help our big dog stop pulling on the lead, which he stopped doing immediately with Joe, he then turned his attentions to our little yorkie who turns out has the most issues, very anxious!

Joe came to us on Saturday and spent 6hrs with our staffy Loki who was a very boisterous, bad mannered but loveable dog. At the end of 6 quite stressful hrs for the dog and us, Joe had Loki staying in his bed, not touching food and toys left in front of him, not jumping all over us and at tea time that night, we had our tea in peace and the dog in his bed. Loki still tests his boundaries but we have some of the skills to keep him in check. Completely different dog. Amazing More...

We got our dog Zoey from a shelter when she was 4/5 months old and experienced some issues with her given her age. She had separation anxiety, pulled on the lead and was reactive to other dogs when out walking. Joe spent 3 hours with us and Zoey is like a new dog. She’s not nearly as anxious or needy, and actually took herself to bed about 3 days after Joe attended which was completely unheard of for our needy dog!

5 Stars 🌟 Joe came out to my house yesterday afternoon, I have an 11 week old Goldendoodle called Bella. Whilst she wasn't really giving me a lot of issues, I wanted to have a good structure to start off with and try and avoid any issues down the line. Bella had started nipping and biting at my 2 young children (as puppies do), and I didn't want the kids to grow afraid of Bella. I had got into the habit of taking Bella to bed with me at night just to get a good night sleep as she was whining and barking non stop if I didn't. Lastnight Bella slept down in her bed in the kitchen ALL NIGHT, there wasn't a single peep out of her at all. I really couldn't believe it!! The nipping and biting has reduced massively when playing now and if she does go to nip then it's stopped immediately and she leaves it be (beforehand she would have continued to come back). Joe is an absolute gentleman and a very experienced behaviourist. I will be recommending him greatly! More...

Could not recommend Joe enough. I have a 1 year old dachshund puppy who was having a lot of issue being reactive and barking at everything. He was very anxious towards men and children especially. His barking and reactions had gotten so bad no one could visit my house or even knock the door. After the session with Joe he has become a different dog he no longer reacts he is more comfortable in his own skin and is just all around a lovely dog. He no longer barks at everything and has a lot more structure in his days. 10/10 have recommended Joe to everyone I know having dog related issues. He truly has a gift.

Contacted Joe as have a 3 year old extremely Anxious and hyper cockapoo at home who is a huge part of our family but now with having our newborn daughter we knew we needed help to calm him down.
From my first conversation with Joe he built me with so much confidence that he could help us relax our dog Galvin which to me was hard to believe as we have tried everything in the past
From the moment Joe set foot into our house and the session began me and my wife couldn’t believe our eyes it was like a miracle. Galvin was no longer running riot around our house barking and jumping he was calm and relaxed. Me and my wife were both amazed and for a moment thought Galvin was a new dog!
Joe also trained me to use the lead as previously Galvin pulled so bad that it was beginning to be so enjoyable to walk him. Now Galvin walks right by my side listening to every word I say again this is something that has never happened until we met Joe. Honestly we highly recommend Joe he definitely is a miracle worker!

Unbelievable is the word I will use. We rang joe and asked him to visit as are young pup had bitten my son a few days ago. The vet advised on the phone to put him down and said it was cocker rage. We have a cocker (arlo 10months) and a shiz tzu (oreo5) the minute Joe walked into the house both boys went mad. Arlo was very aggressive ( I actually got bitten) and honestly I struggled badly. The problem was as joe explained to us was I was so anxious and we were making him worse. Oreo was actually causing arlo to have the reactions. Oreo is all bark and then standing back to let arlo be aggressive. Joe quickly informed us that arlo was so anxious. Joe was out for 3hours and both my boys are chilled and on there beds. We know we have to be consistent and training in us will need to continue. Joe has left a couple of hours now and both boys have went for a walk and now back on there beds sleeping. Joe saved are dogs and we feel so confident that we will have 2 amazing dogs. More...

Joe has changed our lives, I’ve three dogs two boxers and a retriever. I couldn’t walk my dogs due to them pulling on the lead, they chewed my house up when I was away, when I was at home the followed me everywhere and anyone calling to my house dogs would jump all over them.
I definitely had the dogs behaving very badly!
When speaking to Joe on the phone I knew this guy knew exactly how to help my dogs. Joe called about two weeks after Christmas and immediately seen what I was up against. Within an hour o Joe arriving my dogs were completely different.
Our training lasted approx 4-5 hours bare in mind I have three crazy’s…
After joes visit my I can honestly say I can walk all three dogs again easily they walk right beside me! My dogs don’t jump on people when they enter my house they remain calm, they don’t snap food from my hands and they listen without me bribing with treats! I still can’t get over the change! One of my dogs had severe anxiety over me and she has started to settle she even sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen!
I can’t thank Joe enough Ive recommended him to everyone I know, if I could post the before and after videos I would but honestly he’s worth every penny! If you have a dog and have any behavioural problems Joe is your guy and he’s always on the other end of the phone!

Joe has worked wonders with my understanding of my dogs behaviour and needs.
My dog was an extremely anxious Cockapoo, this made him jump up on people, chew things and basically everything that dogs should not do.
After 4 hours with Joe, all them behaviours were gone!! I now have the skills to control my dog with simple one word commands. He doesn't bark at strangers, pull in the lead while out walking.... Everything has been transformed.
Joe provides you with the skills required to continue on with the dogs new routines.
Cannot recommend The Dog Heeler enough 😁

We had Joe out a week ago. He absolutely changed our lives with our 2 dogs. We couldnt get to our door without them trying to run out. One of the dogs barked at other dogs on walks, and the other lunged at everything. Now we can have a nice relaxed walked with our dogs and the lunging and barking is minimal and decreasing. Also we can now eat our food in peace with no begging. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! More...

I would just like to thank Joe making my life so much easier.
I have 22 month male German Shepard who got into a habit of jumping up and barking at people and traffic.
Joe visited me on sat morning and by the time he left I had a new dog.
He also sorted out the problem with my partners 8yr old yorkie who had taken a dislike to this young upstart that I brought into the house.
By the time he had finished both were laying next to each other.
Once again my thanks go out to Joe who I can highly recommend to sort your fur babies out
