Craig could see my dog's progress in our 1-1 session, and we've decided on our strategy for the next session. Highly recommend.

Our first meeting was just a meet and greet 1-1 session for Liesel. Learnt a lot about her anxiety with strangers and a good assessment of her treatment in a previous life. Look forward to further sessions to manage her 'stranger' anxiety on walks.

Despite successfully training our pet dogs in the past I needed expert help with out latest who, though biddable, had anxiety which precluded our training. I needed an expert. After much research I asked Craig. He did not disappoint. Throughout our 1:1 sessions my boy has grown in confidence, my skill set has increased and I have a happier Labrador. Craig is exceptional. Highly professional, knowledgeable and dog focused.

I have completed 4, 1:1 sessions with Craig working on excessive barking in my 2 jugs (Jack Russell x Pug) My boys are much less barky now and we can go for trips out in the car without them literally screaming with excitement when we arrive/return home. Craig has been brilliant with my boys and they are much calmer in every aspect, they don’t bark at the neighbours whenever they go into the garden now which is huge progress. Thank you for your time and all your advice. I would definitely recommend Craig, he is very patient, extremely knowledgeable and dog focused 😊
