Thank you Colin, the difference in my dog in just the initial 3 hours was astonishing. Looking forward to putting it into practice in future walks.

I have a 5 years old male Cavapoo called Rupert who I enjoyed most of the time but it was also quite stressful every day due to his reactivity & unpredictable behaviour. There was always quite a bit of planning involved before going out & I would never take him out in the dark as this increased his reactivity massively. I had spent quite a bit of money over the years on various trainers & behaviourists trying to fix this behaviour. Nothing had helped. I found Colin online as a last attempt. When deciding to get a dog, my plan was to take him everywhere with me, in the car, but due to the constant barking & unpredictability I would keep him at home. That has now radically changed after one session with Colin & implementing the changes suggested. Colin arrived & my dog instantly listened. He patiently explained what was going on with him, where the behaviour came from & how to fix it without making me feel a failure. The behaviour change was overnight! I now have a completely different dog which I can enjoy & take out in a calm manner. I can now pop him in the car without thinking or worrying what will happen at the end of the journey. It has made a huge difference to mine & my family’s lives. Many of my friends have commented on how different he is now & what a pleasure he is.

We’re honestly a little speechless about what Colin has done for us and incredibly grateful. Before working with him, we could barely walk our Czech Shepherd — his reactivity to cats and other dogs made walks stressful for us and uncomfortable for people around us.Within five minutes of meeting our dog, Colin had him calmly walking beside us. More importantly, he showed us exactly how to communicate with our dog so we could continue doing the same ourselves.It genuinely felt like watching someone who truly speaks dog.If you’ve come across this page looking for a trainer, look no further. Worth every penny and more. Thank you, Colin.

We have seen “dog trainers” in the past for our reactive and anxious Golden, Max, with no real resolution, so I was hesitant to try again. However, I am so glad that I did! Colin’s approach is incredible, in just one visit, he taught us the tools and techniques we needed to help Max feel calmer and more confident. Since then, Max is noticeably more settled, and we can finally enjoy walks with him. We are so grateful for Colin’s expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone considering support for their dog

I contacted The Hidden K9 as a last resort after eight difficult months with our reactive Malinois/GSD, who my partner and I had adopted from a rescue organisation. We both have experience handling large and sometimes difficult dogs, and although we had made progress in certain areas, the reactivity felt intractable. Colin responded promptly, first by sharing helpful training resources via email and then by providing additional guidance during a pre-visit support call. On the day of his visit, Colin carefully assessed our dog and explained the strategy he intended to use. Within about half an hour, we were walking around our quiet estate with a calm and well-behaved dog. Colin then suggested we move to a busier environment. Over the next two hours, we calmly walked past cyclists, pedestrians, and other dogs, situations that previously would have been difficult to manage. His approach focuses on understanding the dog’s internal state and addressing the underlying cause of the behaviour, rather than just managing the outward signs.There is still a lot of work ahead, but with Colin’s continued support, we are confident of seeing further improvement in our dog’s behaviour in the weeks and months to come.

I found Colin to be very knowledgeable and very good with my dogs. His advice is specific to your dog , based on years of experience with various behaviours in dogs. Would recommend him.

I have just gotten off the phone with Colin and had already given me advice and clarification with how my puppy and her mother are like when they play with each other to make sure they are displaying normal behaviour which they are which I am glad other for sure. It was a free consultation I didn't have to pay at all and he advice me and helped me with training my puppy as well. The amount of knowledge and information he gave me I didn’t expect it at all. I would definitely get anyone to book a phone call with Colin for sure even if it’s just a question or wanting to make sure what your doing is right or slight changed need to be put in place.

My partner and I cannot speak highly enough of The Hidden K9 and Colin.We have struggled for years with behavioural issues with our 6-year-old Morkie. While living overseas, we worked with trainer after trainer with little to no improvement. I was completely frustrated and at my wits’ end. We could not walk our boy properly, and having guests in our home felt impossible.Then we met Colin. In just one hour, something we never thought possible happened. For the first time ever, we were able to sit calmly in a coffee shop with both of our dogs and Colin. That moment alone was life-changing.Our pets are our family, and Colin has truly changed our lives and our family forever. His understanding, calm approach, and ability to create real results is nothing short of incredible.If you are considering this service, do not hesitate. Make the purchase, trust the process, and know that both you and your fur baby will be thankful you did. Thank you, Colin, for everything you have done for us.
