Thank you Allan for your help today. Already had somebody over and used your techniques . We managed to calm Reggie quickly without him jumping too much. Would definitely recommend to anybody who is struggling with an excitable dog. More...

We can’t recommend Thornaby dog training enough. He is so patient, personable and knowledgable. We have had a couple of sessions, and can see a significant difference with our french bulldog. We plan to have a couple of more sessions Thankyou for changing our lives x More...

Today my rescue dog had his first session and it was so nice to have a calm relaxing walking with him. We have not been able to do this before and to achieve it within one hour of training both myself and my dog was outstanding. I was really happy with the advice and guidance I received because i needed training as much as my dog. As you can see from the photo I have a lovely relaxed dog! More...

We had Alan to ours yesterday, lovely knowledgeable guy. We needed help with our anxious stubborn Lhasa, she has a few issues including aggression and dominance, he has given us good advice which we are now implementing, he is also coming back to help with the walking, he did not push for another appointment as i think it was obvious that Lilly will need more help we asked him. Alan is a very patient guy and wasn’t put of with Lilly as she is very stubborn, we can’t wait for our next appointment. Thank you Alan we will be in touch Ps emma has stopped crying now lol More...

We have just had Allan round to see our 2 goldendoodles who bark at the fence & when we leave them. Within minutes of Allan being there they stopped! ! He also showed us walking techniques that stop them from pulling. He is a miracle worker. Definitely recommend this gentleman :) More...

Allan - what can I say! Absolutely amazing. He was so honest saying he would be able to help but may not be able to cure our two Yorkshire Terriers from their issues. Well after one session there has been an absolute transformation and everyone in the house is so much calmer and happier. Then Allan didn't try to push us to make another appointment but told us that if we needed more help whilst out walking with one of our Dogs reaction to other dogs then to contact him to make another appointment - BUT in the meantime just give him a ring cos he knows them now he would advise me over the phone. An invaluable service by a very nice, friendly man. Thank you Nicola Dursley More...

Wow just had Alan teach us how to take control of our dog Millie. She pulls really badly and when she sees other dogs she tries to get to them and barks. Alan taught us how to stop her pulling and how to keep control of her even when she sees other dogs. He is such a lovely and friendly man and we would definately recommend him. Millie is now fast asleep and i think shes in a bit of shock as we had control instead of her. We now look forward to nice long walks without the stress. Thanks again Alan we really appreciate your help More...

Booked a 1:1 session for a dog showing aggression. In less than an hour he was a completely different dog. Alan was fantastic. Everything was explained as to why the dog was showing the behaviors and then how to combat them. The transformation is unbelievable. Highly recommended More...

Allan came to my home to help train our Shipooh on the lead, the advice and tips he gave were fantastic. Once a little dog who could not be controlled on a lead was within the hour walking normally and to he hands of my 4year old, we couldn’t believe it. The difference with her was amazing all through a few simple tips and techniques taught by Allan. Fantastic bloke and unbelievably educated with knowledge about dogs. 5***** More...

Allan is absolutely fantastic. A really nice fella who teaches very well.
We have a German shepherd x Belgian shepherd pup who was really boisterous and pulled hard on his lead.
Allan has done a few lessons and the difference is quite unbelievable.
With Allan's guidance and helpful hints and tips he really is a different dog.
Would recommend to anyone that has any type of issues with their dog.

Allan is a knowledgeable expert who shares his expertise in a positive way, without chastising you for not getting it right . He has a natural ability and connection with dogs and provided practical solutions for barking , improving lead behaviour and managing challenges associated with visitors . In just one week my four dachshunds are much calmer , walking to heal and greeting visitors appropriately. My family and I were trained at the same time as the majority of issues were caused by responding incorrectly to bad behaviour . Thank you Allan x More...

Alan has been today to help me with my 11month old Boston terrier. Vinnie would scream and pull when out on walks which was embarrassing and not very good for Vinnie. Alan showed me how to handle him and how to stop the behaviour. Vinnie was walking so good by the end of it. I will be asking Alan to come back and help me with my other dog Ralph who is scared of other dogs. Thanks Alan x More...

Allan visited today to help us with George our yorkie. After only a very short time and lots of excellent help and advice our dog was much better behaved out walking and Allan has shown me techniques to use to calm him. His advice also extended to my behavior, so hopefully we have a happy relaxed owner and a calmer dog. I would highly recommend his services it only took an hour and so much information and help. Thank you Allan. Kathryn Peter and Emily in Darlington More...
