David was very patient with helping us with our reactive Border Collie. His knowledge and training has helped improve not only the life of our dog but also our own. We recommend him to anyone who needs help with their dog and we're very grateful. - Paul More...

Barley was a boisterous and spoilt nine month older golden retriever. He spent two weeks with Dave and came back a new dog! Yes, his crazy personality is still there but Barley exhibits great self control, responds well to the commands he was taught and is generally more content and so are we! More...

David Anderson helped us so much with my 1 year old Maltese cross. My dog is much more obedient and not barking or biting anymore. I can't thank him enough.

Although I know two weeks won’t make miracle happen, but David definitely laid solo foundation. Now my dog is much more calm than before whilst leave her alone and heading to correct direction.

Hello Qi, thank you so much for your review, I was happy to help. Even I had forgotten how much hard work puppies are!
Andrea
Dog Training
David and his wife, are truly amazing.
I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Had my sons dog for two weeks to help with barking, jumping on sofas and generally to help with some all round training.
The results have been amazing, he not perfect, but compared to when he went on his little holiday he has improved ten fold. My son is following the programme and it’s working.
It’s very hard to pick a trainer from the internet, David responded quickly and was very efficient and professional.
Highly recommend !
Thank you David and Heidi

David was brilliant with our difficult dog, gave us help in training him and pointers for the future. We would definitely use David again if we need to.
Our dog is well on the way now.

David was very good with our new Dog whom we rescued from Greece.
He showed us a few easy steps to teach her recall, our Dog was at ease with David & very happy to train with him.

We can't recommend David highly enough. He helped us with our newly adopted 2 year old ex-racer Greyhound, who was very anxious in general and particularly hated walks, to the point where she would growl when we tried to take her out and constantly 'freeze' while we were outside. In just one session David helped us address these behaviours and understand what was causing them, giving us the knowledge and tools we needed to help her. The difference is incredible and our dog is adapting well to her new home now thanks to his support. David is really dedicated to his work, has years of experience and knowledge of lots of different breeds. Thank you David! More...

I've known David for a number of years, training with him with my first Dobermann. He is fountain if knowledge, and the most patient of guys, always I knew why he was training what he was so I could do it myself. A great trainer I would recommend to anyone More...

I have known David Anderson for over 10 years now, having 1st trained with him and my Dobermann puppy back in 2006. I have since trained with him and my 3 other Dobes in various disciplines, from general obedience, Kennel Club Good Citizens (even managing to get Gold), showing and schutzhund. David certainly has an affinity with dogs and I would certainly recommend him. More...

What do you love most about your job?
The dogs, no one day is the same and no situation warrants the same approach.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always had an infinity with animals, and dogs in particular. People have always come to me in the past through word of mouth, and usually as a last resort having exhausted all other avenues. One couple in particular have pushed me to make my methods more readily available, and have helped me set up my dog training venture.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a wide experience base, I have been a responsible breeder since the 80s so know in depth each growth stage and the challenges it brings, more recently my wife and I co-founded an animal welfare charity and held stray dog contracts for Councils and Police for a number of years, we have rehomed over 1,000 dogs and reunited over 800. I am also a Championship show judge and held breed record holders in the show ring, have competed in IPO (tracking, obedience and protection), ran KC Good Citizen classes, trained dogs for film and security. There aren't many behaviours or issues that I haven't come across and been able to unravel, many in one session, others over a period of time - I can help you and your dog.
