Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Katherine, I appreciate your feedback. I enjoyed our session and meeting you all and your Siberian Husky puppy. He's got a lot of change to go through as he grows to adulthood and I'm looking forward to working with you all. Go well!

We have only had one session with Keith so far and we have already seen huge changes! Nala used to be quite aggressive towards my husband to the point where he couldn’t even sit down in the lounge in the evening without Nala biting him. It’s now been two weeks since we met Keith and Nala has not bitten my husband once! She has tried but using the tools Keith taught us has put Nala in her place immediately and it has made such a huge difference to her behaviour. She is now much more settled in the evening and doesn’t bark every time someone walks past our house. We still have a lot to work on, but I now have seen what this type of training can achieve and I am looking forward to making more improvements because it really is helping our whole family.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you Fiona. It's amazing what communication and leadership do for anxious dogs like Nala. She's obviously calmer and happier. And you must have been doing the homework to get the results so far. Be consistent and persistent and she'll continue to improve. Looking forward to seeing the progress with my next visit as part of our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee. Well done everyone!

Keith was amazing. We are fostering a Frenchie who is 6years old. It was so obvious we had implemented good clear boundaries and rules in the past with our much larger breeds, and our past Frenchie. You can implement those rules as a puppy but rehoming and fostering you can allow leniency because you feel sorry or guilty they are adjusting to new people and new home. Still a work in progress but highly recommend for novice and experienced owners. It was great to have an expert like Keith provide us all with great advice and solutions.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Rebecca. It was a pleasure to help. He responded really well from the start which is a great sign. Lucky Frenchie getting this new home with people who care and understand it's not a smooth transition. As you recognise, clear boundaries and sticking to them is essential to helping him settle and feel at home in his new home. Good job!

Keith was excellent. Provided a lot of info in a very digestible manner. We immediately realised we had been making some errors in the way we had been managing and teaching Nui but I’m pleased to say, after just a few days of the training lessons, we are already seeing some small improvements. We are very thankful and so pleased we contacted Keith when we did.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. I'm pleased you found the info digestible. I do think the "why" is important, along with the "how". Hopefully Nui's big goofy younger sister will get with the programme as well. They do learn off each other, good and bad! I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements.

The training provided was amazing, taught us so many things we had no idea about. it has only been a couple of days but Storm is already responding so well to everything we have been implementing. Such a relief to finally have some control over storm and the household is so much calmer and happier now that he is listening and responding to us. I will be recommending the training to other friends and family.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you! Clear communication and an understanding of the principles of leadership are making it easy for him to be the Dachshund you want him to be. Well done all of you!! Don't forget, it is important to be consistent and persistent, they do test the boundaries every now and then to check that you're serious. The other dogs will be relieved to have a calmer happier home, especially at their ages. Calmer and happier dog = calmer and happier family!

Keith was excellent. A wealth of expertise and extremely helpful.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Jo, pleased to be of assistance. It's challenging having 2 puppies and then integrating a couple of much smaller older dogs into the house. I look forward to helping you more.

After just the first session I have my dog under control when out and about and he is so much better when encountering other dogs. No longer pulls on the lead and in general he is much more relaxed.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Sally. Nothing like some leadership and communication to help him understand what's expected and acceptable behaviour. Pulling on the lead and dog reactivity are challenging but with his strength it can be extra challenging! Fantastic response from him, and you. He knows how to do this, and so do you! Be persistent and consistent with the great work!

Great session with Keith. He has a great style and is very patient. We’ve seen some good changes with our Jack and still working on his barking.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Bob. Jack showed in the first session that he was understanding the new way things were being done. He'll become more relaxed and less reactive as you persist with the changes in your little interactions as well as the training exercises. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress.

My dog MaoMao is like the leader of the family. We are glad we engaged Trainer Keith. Trainer Keith is excellent: patient and knowledgeable. He demonstrated how to calm and train MaoMao. His method of teaching is very effective. He guided us well as first-time dog owners.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Dave. There will be some challenges with MaoMao so our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee gives you our backup and support for his lifetime. With the whole family onboard and the tools and techniques we've introduced you'll be able to manage him better, and he'll be happier and calmer. Happy dog, happy family! Everyone will be able to enjoy MaoMao, not be stressed about his behaviour. I look forward to seeing everyone's progress.

Great session with Keith and whilst it’s not yet been 24-hours, we’ve noticed changes with our Jack already. Less barking! He definitely responds to the correction technique and even managed to not bark at those walking past this morning. Had my first loose lead walk with Jack around the block. So refreshing. Thank you so much, Keith. We look forward to continuing the training with Jack.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Elaine. It's great to see a positive change so quickly. That clear communication and leadership means he understands what's required of him, and is responding appropriately. Jack's shown that he can do this, and so can you. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress. Be consistent, and persistent!

Your support and feedback helped a lot with puppy training. It has made it much easier to understand and manage him. You obviously like dogs and he picked this up.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Susan. I'm pleased to hear you're finding it easier to manage him already. I look forward to seeing his progress.

Keith was helpful and Pau is now becoming better behaved…slowly
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks James. He is certainly a determined and stubborn dog but as per my recent revisit under our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee you are making progress and he is getting better. He's still young as well, just going into his 'teenage' years. We can now focus on the more stubborn behaviours and progress will happen. It's a journey!
