What Our Clients Say
Meet some of our happy clients.
I went to see Dave with my two dogs (7-year-old male Labrador and 18-month-old female Border Collie). He showed me how to communicate with the dogs in a way they understand.
Hi David, just a quick thank you and update re Seb’s training. I continue to put into practice all that you taught me to have him stop biting and nipping at me and I have to say that he is a totally different dog. He is now to the point where he no longer constantly tries to dominate me and life is much more enjoyable for both him and me. At home he can now just settle at my feet and chill out which was not the case before our training session.
Dave has a wealth of experience in dog training and competition sheepdog trialling and is able to impart his knowledge in a straightforward and professional manner.
