Rob kindly came to visit us some years ago to help with our boisterous Airedale Terrier puppy – Rufus Hound. He helped us (me in particular) understand that I needed to change my behaviour in order adjust my dog's behaviour. Rufus Hound has never been perfect behaviour-wise but is a perfect dog for us, and Rob went a long way towards helping us achieve that goal. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We do not know how to thank you – you were/are superb! And we could not be more pleased and are fully committed to the agreed plan. All of us are more relaxed after your visit, and J and I now know where we are going. We are so grateful and have told everyone about your visit and that you were both expert and fun! But in addition we are ALL knackered! I knew Trev would be tired but John and I are the same!

A big thank you for sorting out Cleo’s problems.After spending nearly 2yrs at Battersea Dogs Home the last thing l wanted to do was to have to take her back,(Mind you l would never have done that!) It is reasurring that with the right advice and support, these behavioural problems can be resolved. Cleo is now a dog anyone would be proud to own. Once again Rob, l cant thank you enough, keep up the good work

Hi Rob.

Thank you so much for the enlightening and eye opening session yesterday,

This morning we have been doing some simple rattle can exercises on things that always provoked a big reaction from percy like the broom, the curtains tea towels etc. The results have been amazing!! I have barely had to shake the can after the first few times as he responds to the command leave beautifully ( So far!! ).

We’ll keep you posted on further developments.

Thanks again

Hi Rob, Just wanted to give you a quick update on Biscuit. He has moved onto a no grain diet and seems better for it all round, his scratching has reduced and I think this may now be related to bites he gets on walks. The spray collar has changed him immeasurably – we now take him round the estate without a lead and he comes to heel and sit whenever a car passes by. He is also able to go off lead in the forest park nearby and despite is natural desire to truffle around with his nose down, nev…

I cannot recommend Robert highly enough. From the initial consultation through to the home visit, assessment and practical training Robert put us at ease. With a friendly yet still highly professional approach Robert has been a pleasure to work with. I feel very comfortable discussing any training issues or queries with Robert and I never feel embarrassed to ask what might seem like a silly question. Both my dogs have come on tremendously since working with Robert. The mix of both behavioural ad…

Just to let you know I had a party at my house and was quite nervous at first as I had invited around 50 people over !!!! But was a good test for Romeo. I couldn’t believe it, nor could my guests, he was so well behaved. He didn’t growl or bark once, he happily wandered around everyone, sometimes sniffing around peoples feet to find myself or Lev as there were so people there. People that had only seen romeo once before were like “oh my god” as they were waiting for some kind of reaction…

Eva has been so good since we saw you at the house. Her behaviour at home is almost perfect now and even out and about she is very well-behaved. We’ve let her off lead a few times at the park and she returns every time. If we are walking past another dog on the street and I say ‘leave’ she looks away from the dog immediately, even when she is off lead. We’ve been taking a ball / toy to the park and she is now more interested in playing with us than other dogs. I can’t believe how much …

Hi Rob, We are still treating when passing strangers and moved him on to town walking at night and he is seeing more people than he did at forest walking. Sometimes he glances at people then carries on walking, sniffing etc and doesn’t seem bothered about them. The rest of the time when seeing people he looks back to Paul for his treat. Sometimes we feel he looks at people just to get a treat. We have cut the treats down as now combining a cuddle as well. Massive improvement with him and Dol…

Teresa and Paul

I just thought that I would write and say how much I enjoy the work you do, and the way in which you do it. You are the perfect combination of calm authority and commitment to improving the lives of the owners and dogs.

There are certain phrases that I hear used in dog training and behaviour circles that make me feel more than a little uncomfortable. And force-free dog training is one of them. I dislike it for several reasons. Firstly, people use it as a kind of badge of honour…they don’t seem […]
