The Dog Bond

Pat and Han have helped us massively to socialise our adopted Dalmatian rescue from Spain, "Marshall'. Marshall was extremely anxious and frightened of everything as he had spent the first 18 months of his life chained to a pole in a yard. He was reactive to everything, coming across as aggressive, at times. Pat and Han worked with us and, over ten months we have turned this around. We now have a happy, loving dog who can, interact and be sociable with dogs of all sizes, is nurtured by Pat and Han, feels loved and secure in their care and training and is still learning every day. One of the best things is they made it fun and never gave up on us even when the challenges were many. Thank you Pat and Han. We can't thank you enough!

I have to say how much I enjoyed training with Pat and Han....my cheeks would be 'sore' from smiling! It was wonderful to see Alfie doing all the things I knew he could do even although I hadn't been able to tap into that. This is why they were training me! We'd had a trainer before however that wasn't an enjoyable experience and none of us wanted to be in that frame of mind. With Han and Pat it was so different....we all had a good time and learned so much!

The training provided by Pat and Han has helped us to bond even better with our dogs. We have had one-to-one sessions focusing on calm and interactive play and the advice we have received has always been spot on. As a result, our rescue dogs, Pippa and Rover, have developed well balanced characters. We can recommend Pat and Han to anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their dog.

We were having a couple issues with our one year old spaniel and spoke to Han and Pat about doing training. They recommended 1-1 training with us and our dog Mabel. We cannot explain the difference in Mabel after only 3 sessions with Pat and Han. They both explained exactly what we needed to do first and learnt the basics before starting with the harder stuff. All the training was fun and we learned different things each week to build on between the sessions. They both taught us why Mabel was behaving in a certain manner and what it meant to her and how to understand her better. It’s only been a few months since the training finished and we can really see a massive difference in Mabel especially when out walking now, where she doesn’t pull nearly as much as she did. It’s made walking her a lot more enjoyable for both of us! We all had so much fun training and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
