Chris is great with us and with Duke, so patient and friendly. I would recommend Animal Kind to any dog owner who needed help

Getting our new puppy was fun but we soon realised that she hadn't read the same books we had about how puppies behave. We realised we need more 1-2-1 help from a professional.
Chris was great and after a 1 hour session at our home things started to get easier. We also joined his puppy classes.
We now have a 7 month old puppy that is friendly and easy to take out and about. It's made the experience of being a first time dog owner much more rewarding. Chris and his training I'm sure played a massive part in that.

We collected our Hungarian Vizsla puppy in July, and had been warned that they are high energy, demanding and clever dogs.
We realized quickly that we needed some expert help and Chris has been working with us almost since the first week.He has been brilliant with Lily, and with us, and his help has been essential in getting her on the right track in those critical early weeks. Chris deals with Lily's energy calmly and clearly, she adores him, and he is great at explaining clearly what he is doing, why, and how to continue the training in between lessons.
I strongly recommend Animal Kind, they have been a fantastic support to us.

We contacted Animal Kind for help with our rescue dog, Molly, whose background we didn't know and who had behavioural problems.
We met Chris on a one to one basis. He was very patient with Molly (and us) and we put into practice the excellent advice he gave us.
We had follow up sessions with Chris and he was always available for advice and reassurance.
As a result Molly is now a confident, friendly little dog thanks to Chris and all his calm friendly advice.

I first contacted Animal Kind a few years back. I have two dogs and Bonnie was very aggressive on her lead. Chris came to my home to meet the dogs. Alfie had problems with his ears and seemed a little scatty. Chris stayed for about an hour or so talking about each of the dogs he suggested I change food as may calm dogs down. He also suggested classes for Bonnie with other dogs to help her mix better. I had a few sessions with Chris and he taught me the best way to react when Bonnie was on her lead. Both dogs are very fit and happy dogs all thanks to Chris. More...
