RYDOGS

Roy has helped us with 2 dogs that would get overly excited when we got ready to take them out and pulled on the leads. His manner teaching us was excellent and easily understood. His second visit added to that understanding and because of it our dogs are much better behaved.

Words cannot do justice to how much Roy has done for my reactive Dobermann and I. Lalique has many issues to overcome and from the start Roy has been professional, patient, accessible and he really thought hard about what we could do to make her more relaxed with other dogs. It's still a work in progress, but I am now more confident to take her out and know that Roy is available to continue with her training. Thank you Roy!

To say Roy has been amazing would be the biggest understatement possible. He has assisted us with Maya, our Jack Russell / Dachshund Cross, in ways we did not even imagine being possible. After only knowing one dog her entire 6 years we knew we had a long way to go to get her socialised and work on her reactivity to various new things she would be exposed to. Roy was patient, attentive and always put Maya first and helped us to understand how to be attentive to her needs. We have learned what a big role we play in her progress as well and Roy has been beyond helpful in putting us at ease to know we can handle any situation with the right tools and mindset to assist Maya in overcoming her fears and anxieties. It will be a daily work in progress but one we can enjoy together and to have seen how far she has come in such a short period has been mind blowing. Roy has been amazing and is always willing to answer any question you have and find a solution to any concern or problem. You won't find a better dog behaviourist or trainer out there!

Roy is knowledgable, passionate and approachable and we are so glad we took our miniature dachshund to him for training. Roy tuned in to our puppy’s readiness and ability and was always on the end of the phone should we have needed any advice. Our puppy grew in confidence and obedience and we have left with a wealth of knowledge and skills of how to effectively train our puppy to ensure he grows into a well rounded dog.

My 7 month old cocker spaniel, Poncho, and I have been seeing Roy for a little over 3 months now and I cannot recommend him enough. We started with the 6-week puppy course which initially Roy recommended we start at ~14 weeks old instead of 12 as my puppy needed a couple extra weeks at home before starting training. This proved to be sound advice, as when we began the puppy course Poncho was confident and engaged with the training. Roy doesn’t just teach your dog new things, he teaches you, the handler, how to be the best owner you can be. He has set me up with the tools and knowledge that I need to practice everything we learn during training in our day to day lives. He picks me up on small things that I am doing wrong, like my body position when giving commands, things that you wouldn’t even realise you were doing wrong. These slight adjustments have made a huge difference to my puppy’s responsiveness to certain commands. Overall I could not be happier with Roy’s services and I will be coming back for monthly refresher sessions to get me through the adolescent months!
