Keith was exceptional. He demonstrated such a good understanding of dogs, and his tips have made a real difference to us as first time dog owners.

Thank you. I enjoyed meeting you all and look forward to working with you as per our Lifetime Support Guarantee. Rescue dogs can be challenging but he is still a puppy and is in a great place to become a really good dog. Exciting times for you and him!

Keith dealt with Barking, Pulling

Our wee woof (Bella) is a rescue dog who was used for breeding and therefore, has triggers. Keith was very willing to work with us to ensure that we could implement these practices in a way that was safe for all of us. He was knowledgeable, empathetic, sympathetic and everything was explained in a way that we could all understand. Keith also got the measure of Bell very quickly and was able to clarify some of her behaviours for us. The exercises we have been given are easy and effective. We noticed a difference straight away although there are still areas where we are all still learning and it will take a while to embed but Keith was very open and honest with us about that. There is a huge emphasis on care for everyone which we appreciated. Things aren't perfect but we now have strategies and exercises to work with and also know that we can call on Keith whenever we can, which give us all a high level of comfort.

Thank you. I enjoyed our session and was impressed with how you all took it onboard, including Bella. She's a lucky rescue dog landing with a family that is prepared to make the commitment to help her settle and feel safe and secure. Your commitment is matched by our Lifetime Support Guarantee. Lucky Bella!

2nd March 2023 - Keith Mockett

We've had a problem with our friendly, kindly granddog Archie who is three years old (border collie, lab, huntaway). His only fault is that he rushes at visitors while barking a ferocious huntaway warning. Keith was quick to the rescue, arranging a session that took place a few days after our initial phone chat. It was a great help having Keith explain Archie's behaviour, how he's acting instinctively to protect us and that he needs to know that barking is not OK, that we have the situation under control so he doesn't need to overreact. He showed us how to practice a series of voice signals, followed by a command, then praise (no treats). This method will change his behaviour as long as we practice, practice, practice with Archie. Keith was friendly and very clear in outlining the instructions we need to follow. There was plenty of time to ask questions and practice the method. Archie responded very well in the session. It surprised us how quickly he learned. We feel much more confident now that we know what to do and have a clear plan to follow. The method has already made a difference to Archie. He's calmer and toning down his excessive (to us) reaction to guests. We're not there yet, but well on the way. Many thanks Keith from Archie's human pack, Marie, Owen, Alexis and Elisha

Thanks Marie. As you say practice, practice, practice....well, train, train, train actually. He's already enjoying the new regime, he's calmer. It was a pleasure and I look forward to further progress reports. Go well!!

Excellent service, I can not thank Keith enough for the help he is providing with our 2 pups early days but we are making progress thanks to the techniques we have been shown.

7th June 2022 - Keith Mockett

I contacted Keith to help with our 1.5 yr old labraspoodle. Our pup was still chewing on things, pulling when walking, jumping up at people and ignoring the come command. The work we have done with Keith has made such a huge difference. From the 1st session we saw big improvements. Walking him is now a pleasure and I can even take him to our sons football matches without worrying about him jumping up on people. He is now chewing his toys and not my cushions! I think that he is more relaxed now and that has strengthened the bond with the whole family. Thanks Keith
