Kevin came out to visit us at home to help us with our 7 month old Rottie who was starting to take over the home. Kevin provided some excellent practical advice which we have now implemented and will continue to work on. We would recommend Kevin 100% as his help has been invaluable and has made our home a happier one!

Kevin is a fantastic dog trainer! He visited us and our 10 week old puppy and trained the family on techniques we need to promote good behaviour, and positive reinforcement. We had some questions with regards to biting, recall and leaving unwanted items/situations. His recommendations were invaluable, practical and very clearly delivered. He showed us exactly what to do with our puppy and the results were almost immediate. We have been using Kevins techniques and they have made a considerable difference after just a day. Thank you, Kevin. We look forward to seeing you again and we will highly recommend you!

In the past 1 day I have emailed over a dozen dog trainers to get some lead walking help and received great tips, including availability or not but always professional communication. Unfortunately, Kevin claimed on his one line response that he could have my dog trained in 90 minutes for x fee (which I will respect and keep confidential); so like every other trainer that claimed a result (which most did not by the way) I clearly advised that I am skeptical, Because my dog is very stubborn as he is a rescue dog and may need more support. Everyone else responded with yes of course, we do need to meet him etc... all variety of professional responses, but Kevin here - responded to it very unprofessionally; claiming I was doubting his experience which by the way I never once questioned, as a matter of fact. Experience often is shown in confidence and how you deal with a nervous potential customer in your communication as a professional, which he completely lacked. I don't know his experience as a dog trainer because he wasn't professional enough to demonstrate that, he took my general comment about my dog being stubborn needing maybe more help and hence me being skeptical - as a reflection on his experience. Clearly, Kevin needs to do some work on his professionalism in my opinion and not take queries or comments so personally, when the conversation is a professional context. So whether is a good trainer in my opinion doesn't matter if he can't communicate professionally. I wouldn't have reached out if I didn't think he was experienced... Shame his communication was disappointing. Good luck to him!
