One of the dogs has clearly been subject to abusive and unkind handling and her relationship with the other dog was making his and our lives miserable and fraught. At different times we had thought that one or the other would have to be 'put down' either because of the impact of their relationship or their sheep chasing tendencies. It was by chance that we learnt about and with his help and guidance we have managed to improve all of our lives beyond recognition. I write this as the dogs are playing together at feet: something I never thought would happen. We be eternally grateful to for his expertise, generosity and unstinting support enabling us to make unbelievable progress. We took Busby our beagle pup to 's classes and we were quite nervous having read that beagles are notoriously hard to train! However we needn't have worried as he taught all of us, husband, 3 children I, how to understand the mindset of our new four-legged family member which helped enormously. It is rather that the owner needs training, perhaps more than the dog! His knowledge, patience commitment know no bounds and we found his lessons more than generous as we often ran over due to discussion or a little extra one-to-one to ensure we got it right. His setting is superb with acres of space for outdoor recall training and the safety of enclosed area for the not attentive dog. He has a barn for the more than frequent wet days which is much better than a shiny village hall floor. Aside from this the views are stunning! We also know that we can count on should we ever need further advice the future. A lovely Through participating 's excellent Training sessions, Brodie our 18 month old Bearded Collie has learned a great deal of self-control and lots of fun games, tricks and moves. As owners we have learned to be much more calm our approach and have gained a much greater understanding of how a dog's mind ticks and it is a joy to see him learn something new. The session flies by and we try hard to practice the moves at home to show off some progress the following week! We also benefitted hugely from a 1 session with as Brodie wanted to chase after sheep and we are pleased to now take him through a field of sheep off the lead with him by our side after following his simple guidelines. Everything is FUN for the dog and fun for owners too we've had a lot of laughs! Thank you I took Springer Pup, Saffy, to 's puppy training classes when she was 4 months old. The classes are small, friendly and informal. The small class size is great as it allows to spend time with each dog if needed, was invaluable helping solve some niggling house training problems, and showing us how to deal with other issues. Most importantly, Saffy adored going, as as we turned off the main road to the farm she became happy and excited, she definitely knew where we were going! I have had dogs all life thought I was pretty dog savvy until I started to talk to Whilst I wasn't ever harsh with dogs, I did rely on traditional techniques to train. Once I started to explore what was teaching, using food based rewards, lots of things changed for me and dogs with them became more confident and happy. Learning new techniques can be difficult but was always there to give great advice and support whenever I needed it. If one thing wasn't working, he would come up with a new plan. He never made me feel stupid or guilty for asking questions. He is extremely approachable and his depth of knowledge is second to none. The passion and kindness he has for dogs shines through and I feel lucky that I have been able to learn from him. We first met when we took our 5 month old springador pup, to puppy training classes. We hadn't any idea what to expect, knowing what a boisterous, loveable rogue was, but nothing fazed despite 's enthusiastic approach to learning, which consisted of wanting to play with all the other dogs the class and to distract them from the business hand! has a very individual approach to each dog his class, and that includes the owners, for whom he is invaluable and patient resource. We subsequently took to training classes, where he continued to disrupt the proceedings his own inimitable style, we then had several one to one sessions with which were brilliant, and extremely helpful. is now 21 months old, and he is a much loved, mostly well behaved dog who doesn't have aggressive bone his body. We know that is always available should we need him, and we are immensely grateful to him for all the help, advice and support which he has given us and of course! We have had such fun at 's training and
