We cannot thank Colin enough. We’d been struggling for months with our dog due to her reactivity, and the difference after just one session was incredible. Since then, we’ve had a few bumps along the way, but Colin always got back to us quickly (usually within half a day) with advice and reassurance. It’s been two weeks now, and it is an ongoing journey, but we finally are able to walk our dog, and hold a conversation even with strangers that she is absolutely ignoring while in a sitting position – something that we would have never dreamt of. We'd read others' reviews on how life-changing their sessions with Colin were, and we couldn't agree more! Genuinely it unlocked so much, and we are finally able to walk wherever we want to rather than just walking where there are no people/dogs. Walks have turned from worrisome to positive and fun. Our only regret is not booking a session with Colin sooner, and we recommend Colin's expertise and experience to everyone struggling with their dogs. Thanks Colin! Less

Colin is a life saver, within an hour Bruce our (10 stone) 11 month old Great Dane, was walking on a lead perfectly, and his whole behaviour is 100 times better for it, he is calmer round the home and with guests. We can’t thank him enough, just to be able to walk Bruce anytime of the day rather than at 8-9pm when there is nothing about to scare him.We are working on all the things Colin has asked us to do, and we will continue too, it’s now a pleasure to walk him, no stress, no pulling, no aggression or anxiety towards other dogs or people.Once we have cracked this perfectly we will 100% be getting Colin back to work on recall and some other little bits.Colin thank you for all your helpThe Todd’s Less

We booked Colin to see if he could help with our 2.5 year old vizsla that sometimes reacts to other dogs and hates people in the house.When Colin arrived Odie (our dog) started to bark, growl, the usual things that he does but that all changed within 20 minutes. Colin took hold of Odies lead, I was almost sure he would bite him having to be so close to him and not knowing him, but Colin was calm, confident and within 20 minutes Odie was allowing Colin to touch him.Then we went off on our walk and Colin showed us how to build a relationship with Odie that meant it was only us he wanted to be with on his walks. I really can’t explain the transformation, the last week has been an absolute dream taking Odie for walks, I actually get home from work and get excited to take him out.I had been to see another behaviourist the week before and was due to book odie in for a 2 week stay to work on him, but I didn’t get the same feeling I got with Colin when I spoke to him on the phone and cancelled the other behaviourist. I’m so glad I did this, the relationship that Colin built with Odie in 3 hours was proof we made the right choice.We still have a long way to go and lots of work to do but with Colin’s guidance we have every hope that Odie will be the best dog he can be.

Wow wow wow, I can not thank Colin enough for all the help an guidance he gave to us yesterday. Our miniature Dachshund slinky is like a new dog. I took him out today on the lead Colin gave to us an slinky walked beautifully next to my leg. Never pulled once. He is less reactive in the house. Wow I can't thank him enough. I never thought this was possible. I can not thank Colin enough. Well an truly worth every penny. Thankyou once again.. Less

Colin is awesome! My GSD is one year old, and extremely strong and boystrous. Due to ill health as a baby she has only been going out for long walks for the last couple of months. This means she needed training on the lead outdoors. She is not food/treat driven, or toy driven, so I have been struggling to pique her interest. Within 1 and 1/2 hours Colin had her walking to heel, and ignoring other dogs; who she previously would bark at constantly and pull to go and play with them. She is now calm, focussed on me, and extremely happy on her walks. I now feel safe and happy to walk her on my own, instead of needing my husband to lend a hand when she pulls very strongly. She is a different dog on walks now; making it always a pleasurable experience both for her, and for me.Thank you Colin! Less

A LIFE CHANGING 3 hours!Colin had our spaniel walking comfortably to heel instantly and off lead safely within an hour. To say we were astonished is an understatement.We have had several trainers attempt this using positive only methods and spent a small fortune in the process: not only did they all fail but we ended up with a dog we couldn’t walk on a short or long lead and who had no recall. We were miserable and so was our dog.Colin was able to explain the psychology behind light touch negative correction/reinforcement as a mimic of how dogs communicate. This made perfect sense and we saw instant results without any discomfort for our spaniel. He honestly looked relieved to not “be in charge” anymore.We have been walking him since Colin’s visit with consistent results and have a clear plan for how to progress.I’d wholeheartedly recommend Colin, especially if you are feeling despair with your dog. If you need a miracle Colin is your man.Thank you! Less

I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Collin. From the moment we met, he was so friendly and made me feel completely at ease. It was clear he genuinely loves dogs he connected with my dog straight away and the feeling was definitely mutual! Collin’s training methods were not only effective but also really fun and positive. Prince was really difficult to walk and I would dread having to take him but I’ve seen such a difference in him already. Highly recommend Collin to anyone looking for a great and trustworthy dog trainer . Less

Hudson is a year old and has a few issues we needed addressing. Colin came in to our home and within minutes Hudson was on his best behaviour! Popped a slip lead on him and I was amazed ! We went for a lovely walk and he didn’t pull or react to other dogs , walked beautifully to heal.I’ve been to a few trainers and Behaviourist over the last 6 months and their methods and advise had me completely stressed out. Wish Id known Colin 6 months ago. We now know how to address Hudson’s resource of the sofa and how to communicate with him to get the best out of him. The information sent after the consultation was easy to read and understandable, clear and to the point. I would urge anyone that has any type of issue with their dog to see Colin, he makes everything simple and clear , is very calm and clearly loves dogs and wants the best for them and their owners , cant thank you enough for the visit last Monday.
