I found the therapist most helpful, very professional, friendly and informative. Nothing was too much trouble for him to explain and demonstrate. The dog responded well to me using the techniques which I am going to continue with.

I liked the idea that if I need further help I could contact at anytime.

Would recommend

Before the training session, Oliver had a real nipping problem. We were afraid even to play with him. After just a few hours of training, Oliver is a much happier and relaxed dog. Steve explained very clearly the root of our problem and the training methods are so simple, yet effective! Oliver is continuing to respond brilliantly!
