We can all claim how good we are and how valuable our service is but nothing speaks like those we have worked with, those who have brought there dogs to our classes and have benefited from the training they have recieved. Many of these people write to me after they have trained with us and a selection of these letters and emails are included on this page, and throughout the site, along with photos in many cases.

"I would just like to say thank you to Dog Training Services, I havent much experience with having a puppy or any dog, so this puppy foundation course has been the best thing Ii could have followed to gain confidence in training my puppy. She is now a happy, sociable animal who is not afraid of other dogs because of the classes. Everyone remarks not only how lovely she looks but how well behaved she is."

I'd like to say a big thank you to Robin, for all the help and guidance I received from him in training our pet boxer dog Keano. Never having owned a dog before I really didn't realise the hard work it could be.
After a few months this cute little puppy had turned into an anti-social dog. He chewed the furniture, wrecked the house, and jumped on everyone in sight. He even started showing aggression towards family members. I realised that Keano had the upper hand I actually felt bullied by him, and was getting a bit frightened. I dreaded taking him out because of his behaviour, but I realised that it was not all Keano's fault. I had to take some of the responsibility. I was also seriously considering handing Keano over to the Boxer rescue centre. I was in a pet store one evening and noticed an advertisement for puppy training and later that evening I rang Robin. He came out to the house a few days later, and we spent a lot of time talking about Keano's behaviour. Robin gave the family a lot of advice on how to handle Keano and pointed out things that we were doing wrong. Gradually over the following weeks, we began to see an improvement in Keano, he was actually listening to commands, and we were all feeling a lot more confident handling him. The anti-social dog was turning into a great companion. It took time and patience, and Robin was always on hand when we needed help and advice. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and I really wish that I had started puppy training from the very beginning, it wasn't until there was almost a crisis situation that I sought the help we needed.
Once again thank you Robin, and I know if Keano could talk he would thank you also, but I think he shows you in his own wee doggy way. The family wouldn't part with Keano.
