Holden's Hounds

Cannot recommend Harry enough! We reached out to Harry because we were having issues with our 7 month old puppy constantly pulling on the lead or refusing to walk. Whilst otherwise she is quite well behaved, her behaviour made going for walks unpleasant because it was always a battle of wills trying to get her to walk properly leading to a lot of frustration all around.

After less than two hours with Harry, her walking has done a complete 180 and it has really taken the stress out of walking with her, making our time together outside much more enjoyable! More...

Harry is a really wonderful dog trainer. He was incredibly attentive to our needs for my dog Olive who has really bad anxiety and attachment. The tools that Harry provided us were excellent and she is now far better with other dogs and being alone. Thank you Harry!! Couldn't recommend more. More...

Booked a 2 hour training session for my new dog, Harry was very patient and understanding - my dog took to him immediately! Had great results with recall and helped with my pooch's separation anxiety. She's doing better each day as I'm continuing the advice given! Would recommend highly! More...

I chose to contact Harry based on reviews on Google. I wasn’t disappointed, as Harry was just the kind of person I was looking for to give us guidance on how to address issues with our four month puppy. Harry was easy to talk to and listened to our concerns. We would very much recommend his services!! More...

This puppy is my 5th dog so I like to think I know what I’m doing! However I had a completely new issue with this puppy. I had met Harry accidentally in the park, when he was training another dog and was impressed by his manner and so called on him when I needed help.

Harry is really excellent. Personable, knowledgeable, pragmatic and down to earth. Everything was straightforward. No requirement for long drawn-out classes or training. If all trainers were like him we’d have so many more well behaved dogs - and owners! More...

Very knowledgeable. Got Max walking well on the lead in no time and helped me with a couple of other issues also. Great guy and highly recommend!

Harry was excellent with my rescue puppy Frank. He really helped me with his separation anxiety and off and on lead training. Frank is thriving and is very well behaved (most of the time!).

Harry has also been very supportive in ad hoc help since our initial training sessions. I would highly recommend Harry to anyone looking for a dog trainer! More...

Harry was amazing!!! He was able to answer all our questions and teach us so many techniques, tips and tricks to manage our 8 month old dachshund.

He was very different from any other dog trainer we had spoken to as he showed genuine care and attention towards our puppy and was able to give us soo much information going forward on what to do via a step by step guide personalised just for Leo!

100% would recommend to anyone who needs genuine support with their fur babies!! More...

Harry was absolutely brilliant with my dog Faith yesterday. I felt a great achievement! He's someone who you can really talk to.

Harry was very helpful, he listened to what the problem was, without jumping to conclusions, and he then worked with my dog and me to find practical interventions that work for us.

Harry was absolutely brilliant! He explained everything clearly and I could see great improvements in Flappy. I'm going to stay consistent with the training myself as well! Thank you so much!!

I recommend highly! Harry is an excellent dog trainer. He has given me so much to work with so I can be a confident dog owner and help Milo to be a happier dog. 👍🏼😊

Harry was an excellent trainer with my two Irish terriers. He was patient and very knowledgeable and really helped me connect better with the dogs, I could not recommend him more highly!

Harry is really an excellent dog trainer with very good technique. I highly recommend him. We got great results with our rescue Working cocker spaniel following his advice and technique.

Harry showed us how to walk him with a loose lead and watched as we walked using the technique he had just demonstrated. Before Harry came to impart his immense knowledge our 1 1/2 year old cocker spaniel was very difficult to walk using his immense strength to propel himself forward while on walks sometimes with his back legs off the ground!. It was exhausting walking him. 40 mins with Harry he had shown us how its done and watched us follow through with his practical easy to follow technique. . 1 hour later we had a calm happy happy dog looking up all the time checking in with us making eye contact to see if he was walking properly. Harry's teaching has made a huge difference . We are following his advice and are enjoying seeing such a big change in our lovely rescue dog. Very glad we enlisted Harry's help. More...

Harry came to our house to meet our 6 month old Cocker Spaniel Mario. He instantly saw what was required to make Mario walk better on a lead. Almost immediately he was walking rather than pulling and we could not believe it was the same dog!!

Harry made sure we understood what was required and both ourselves (and Mario) felt at ease during the training. We would thoroughly recommend Harry to everyone, and, if needed, would use him again! More...

I was astounded by Harry's knowledge and passion for dog training.

When we decided to get a puppy we knew exactly where to take him. He had some serious issues which harry quickly identified and ironed out. He is now very well behaved!

Holden’s Hounds is an incredibly professional and effective service, I would highly recommend to anyone! More...

Harry is very knowledgeable, clearly identifying where we had been going wrong with Poppy's recall. Harry provided sound, practical tips that the whole family can use and follow. Poppy enjoyed it too!

Harry helped us no end! I had many trainers contact me over the phone after my advert went out but I am so pleased we hired Harry with his infectious enthusiasm and brilliant knowledge. He made us aware of so many things I hadn't even thought of! I highly recommend him to any dog owner seeking effective and fun training. More...

We only had a couple of things to work with Harry on - but he offered us such fresh insight into why we were experiencing problems with Alfie's recall and lead walking. It was thoroughly beneficial and Alfie is much, much better through the methods Harry taught us. To add to this, Alfie enjoyed himself so much that he looked visibly disappointed when our session ended and Harry left!! More...

Harry is great! He really helped us with our little Fi who has huge confidence issues and generally was a bit of a terror around the house. It's been a long time of us trying to sort things out ourselves but we decided to get a trainer in and thank god we did! It was amazing to watch the difference in her just after one session, he really understood what was going on and made it simple for us to follow, and, more importantly, for Fi to follow! It was brilliant to watch. We would completely recommend him! THANK YOU HARRY :) More...
