Here you’ll find real-life transformations from clients who’ve worked with us to overcome challenges like reactivity, pulling, anxiety, and more. From powerful breeds to tiny pups, every story shows what’s possible with the right guidance and consistency. These results speak for themselves — and they’re just the beginning.
Breed: German Shepard
Gender: Male
Problem: Lunging
Dave and Carolynne have been excellent with our reactive gsd Marley. From the very first session there has been a huge improvement.
Before he couldn’t walk past another dog without barking, lunging etc. Within 4 weeks he has been off lead walking with other dogs, particularly the great stooge dogs that they bring to training!
We are now able to take him wherever we like without the worry of him reacting all the time.
We couldn’t recommend them enough…neither could Marley!

Breed: Rottweiller
Gender: Male
Problem: Lunging
I contacted Dave when walking my 4-month-old Rottweiler became too much for me to handle with his lunging at everything.
The advice, logical thinking and tools that Dave and Carolynne have given us mean I no longer avoid taking Roscoe for a walk and am now enjoying all the compliments I get from others about how nicely he walks. I’m looking forward to enjoying more training and more pack walks going forward.
I would absolutely advise anyone having training issues get in touch, I should have done it sooner!

Dave
Breed: Bulldog
Gender: Female
Problem: Unfriendly to cats
I recently worked with Dave to help train one of my two dogs, which has severe reactivity towards cats, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results!
Dave is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient dog trainer. He took the time to understand the unique personalities and challenges and tailored his approach to meet our needs.
Dave implemented a series of techniques that really helped to manage her reactivity. It has only been a few days but I have noticed a significant improvement in her behaviour and confidence around cats. Dave also provided us with clear, practical steps to continue the training, which has been invaluable.
What stood out the most was how much Dave genuinely cared about the well-being and progress of both dogs, checking in on how things were going even after our sessions had ended.

Breed: Rottweiller
Gender: Male
Problem: Lunging
We had the pleasure of having Dave to train our rescue dog Saxon, and after just one visit, we are amazed in the change in Saxon’s behaviour he is like a different dog we are stunned and so happy.
Dave made us feel at ease and taught us so much in a short space of time. It is very clear to us how passionate and knowledgeable he is especially with big breeds.
We look forward to carrying on working with Dave to make our wonderful dog even better. Many thanks, Dave, for your help.

Breed: Golden Retriever
Gender: Male
Problem: Behaviour
Got in contact with Carlolynne to help with Stanley, our 12-week-old golden retriever. We explained the issues we were having and got clear instructions on what to do. We have stuck with them, and Stanley is thriving. We are so happy with the results so far, and if we have any queries or questions, Carlolynne is easily contactable via a WhatsApp chat. We would highly recommend.

Carolynne
Breed: Pocket Bully
Gender: Male
Problem: Pulling at his Lead
Dave and Carolynne have been absolutely incredible in helping with some very needed dog training for my pocket bully!
My partner and I were struggling to even walk him down the road without him either pulling like a freight train or stopping like an anchor, to now walking incredibly by our side with great engagement and response to commands!
His excitement levels within the house were a great problem for us too but once again, thanks to Dave and Carolynne we now have a very calm and collected pup and are no longer worried about inviting people round!
I honestly can’t recommend their service enough and am so grateful for the help and service we’ve received!

I am in complete awe of the amazing transformation of my boy’s reactivity after just the first 3 hour session it was stunning and heartwarming.
Our lives together have been changed for the better and walks will now be a pleasure and not a challenge
Dave and Carolynne are my heroes thank you both so very much.
