Best place for dog training I've ever attended. Extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and caring with an excellent sense of humour too :)

Best dog lessons I have had with a lovely guy running the classes who truly cares about you and your dog :)

Ken, Barry and Assessor Ray are a trio of absolute diamonds who take the training and support they provide seriously. We have just completed the whole set of Puppy, Bronze, Silver and Gold, taking about 10 months overall. Every session is intended to build up confidence and skills to push you and your dog out of your comfort zone. The training is always beyond the level required to pass, setting a high bar at all times. Timings go out of the window most sessions, but that is good thing as it is a reflection of their engaging approach. They will not rush any exercise or discussion in order to finish by a certain time and are always happy to chat at the end of each session around any additional support you may require. You leave the courses feeling confident that they are still there if needed and that you are a genuine member of their club. Although we still have a lot of work to do with our dog, Marlo, we feel that we have the skills, knowledge and support to keep moving forward. We cannot thank or recommend them enough. More...

When I needed them I could not get hold of anyone. Emails went unanswered so in the end I gave up

Whilst i cannot fault kens dog training abilities...i have taken my own dogs to his classes and my friends dogs also.i have also recommended other people in the past. However i do feel my experience in the last 12 months with regards to training related matters has been disappointing. Many promises have been made by ken but not followed through. As a last resort i emailed on the new website page which promises a response from ken or barry within 48 hours. That was 2 weeks ago...i have received no communication from either of them. I am seriously dismayed. More...

An experience not wasted. Our ESS came away a more confident dog, because of the training. Five stars... not enough.

Q&As

I have worked and handled dogs professionally for over 42 years and every day am amazed that I learn or view something new.

I train dogs full time for a Police Force and was amazed when local dog owners asked me for advice as soon as they knew what I did. As I am nearing retirement I thought, why not have a hobby which gives me pleasure whenever something is achieved.

I will go out of my way to ensure the customer gets what they require. I am not out to earn as much money as possible and leave handlers and dogs to fend on their own.
