Don't just take our word for it, here is what other people have to say!
When Dora and I arrived at our First Training class with Colin, she was a very bouncy barking young labrador puppy. She was my first large breed dog - I have always had small dogs - so as you can imagine it was me that needed to be trained! We attended our classes every Saturday morning - sometimes I found it hard work as everything I was trying to get Dora to do was proving to be very difficult but Colin/Emily showed me how to approach the training in many different ways that Dora and I could understand and Dora would then do exactly what I was asking her to do. I was so proud of my girl. I am pleased to say that my barky puppy is a more relaxed and obedient puppy. I am so grateful for all the training tips. Thank you so much.
We have had an excellent experience with K9 services from our at-home consultation with Colin when we first brought Blue home to the beginners training course led by Maisie. As first time dog owners it has been invaluable in teaching us how to keep blue safe and healthy through training and also learning about enrichment. The training has been a lot of fun and very digestible. Blue has learned a lot (as have we!) and we are looking forward to joining the next course. The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is ongoing support throughout the courses, I would recommend anyone investing the time. It has paid dividends and made training Blue a real joy.
I really enjoyed taking part in the workshop. It further developed my bond with my dog, enhanced my understanding of how to give her stimulation and the benefits of scent work, and also enabled me to manage some of her more challenging behaviour. Sarah was an excellent instructor and the content of the course was very well curated. She obviously has a deep knowledge of the subject and was able to understand the needs of individual dogs and make relevant adjustments to ensure they got the most out of the experience. I would recommend Sarah and the course to everyone - I don’t think there is a dog or owner who won’t have a really positive experience and gain a huge amount of knowledge and enjoyment from it.
We invited Colin into our home to help with our 1 year old Havanese dog Winston, who was becoming increasingly aggressive with the kids and developing greater separation anxiety. I have to admit I was extremely skeptical about what Colin could do to help us However with in 10 minutes of being in the house he had us all at ease and laughing. Colin is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their human companions. He helped us understand why Winston was behaving as he was and explained exactly what to change and steps to take to fix the situation. I have read many articles and magazine on how to train dogs however with none of them knowing my dog and his exact problems and how we live as a family none of them helped and only caused me to feel more overwhelmed. With Colin's guidance within a few hours we understood what the problem was, how to fix it and all while having Colin there to answer questions when we were facing a new situation. We 100% recommend Colin's service. Not only did we see improvement in Winston immediately on implementing Colin's advice but we thoroughly enjoyed Colin's company in the process. It will come as no surprise that in our house we call Colin The Dog Whisperer.Many thanks Colin.
We first met Colin at our local park with his dog, Rico.Colin was friendly and gave us lots of tips for our Cavalier King Charles spaniel Cookie. Cookie was 11 months old when we asked Colin if he could help with our recall (after Cookie ran off quite far!). We had a consultation with Colin and he really got to know our family and dog as well as helping us with Cookies recall he also taught us how to have control when walking him by teaching us the command "close." Colin came to our house every week for a 1-2-1 session. Each session lasted for an hour and Colin always checked to see how the training was going and how we felt about it. He was very patient and gave us lots of other advice along the way. By us following and practicing everything that Colin taught us we now have a well-trained and very happy dog.We can now enjoy evenings at the park with Cookie off the lead without worrying were he is. He follows us and he comes when called. We feel as though Colin's training has had a big impact on our life and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a great dog trainer.
Colin is the dog God, literally could not have had the relationship and bond I have with my dog now if it wasn't for Colin and we wouldn't have the happy relationship we do! Having been a veterinary nurse forten years and working/living with dogs my whole life I thought I knew it all but Colin has taught me so many different and amazing things, most importantly successful tips and points on making a happy and healthy dog and owner relationship. I'd never recommend anyone else. Tank adores him, and even my other dog Moo who just gets to sit and have a cuddle with him! You can just see by watching him how passionate he is about dogs. He really does make a difference with such simple changes.
After spending lots of money with other methods of training for my dog 'pocket' finally found someone who made a difference. Colin really understands dogs, and more importantly explains in clear no jargon talk so you really do get what needs to be done and would strongly recommend him to anyone with any problem with there dog.
