Joe is an amazing trainer. He has a wealth of knowledge and has been incredibly helpful. He is extremely patient and generous with his time. He had an instant rapport with myself and my two dogs, and with his guidance, I have learned along with Max and Arlo and have achieved immediate results. Would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of having Joe train my dogs, and the experience was nothing short of amazing!
I contacted Joe about my 2 year old Rottweiler who was reactive to people entering the house and had no recall, we also have a shih tzu who has changed significantly since Joe visited. From the moment Joe arrived at my home, it was clear that he was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Within 30 minutes he had both dogs on their beds chilling, and he took the time to understand my dogs' behaviours and what we were struggling with and then tailored the training specifically to their needs helping our situation.
Within just a few days, I saw significant improvements in their obedience, responsiveness, and overall behavior. What I appreciated most was his patient, calm approach, he made the process feel stress-free and understandable for me. He also equipped me with techniques to continue reinforcing the training on my own and any questions we had Joe was more than happy to answer.
I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for professional, effective dog training. He has made our home a much calmer and safer place with both dogs relaxed and enjoying the routine they are now in!

Joe visited me yesterday as Molly was very reactive to other dogs and walking her was a nightmare. Joe explained everything he needed to do to get her into a calm state before even attempting a walk. He explained how my demeanor when walking her only added to the issue. After he explained the penny dropped. Molly finally became calm and off we went for our walk. He explained what to do and when to do it and why. We met people with dogs, Joe asked if it was OK to approach their dogs, one a choc lab, after approaching molly just looked away, a second dog which was barking, another of her triggers. I sat her down not 2ft away and she had no reaction at all. This morning she lay calm on her bed while I got ready for her walk never happened before, she was so excitable. We went on a great walk with no issues. Can't thank Joe enough would recommend him to everyone. Thanks again Joe

It’s been a whole week since we met Joe .
I must say that I do have the best boy now
Not once has he been back to my bed or a sofa when I can see him ! I have purchased an indoor camera and am looking at him when I’m at work now and again and I can report that I haven’t seen him on the sofas when everyone’s gone to work and school!
That is an amazing achievement itself !
But Marley has been listening to his commands , going on walk’s amazingly, not chewing anything , not barking , not jumping up on me and scratching the life out of my legs !
I have noticed that I have absolutely changed as a dog owner as well.
I do not worry any more , I sleep so well now knowing that he’s nice and calm in his own bed .
I do not worry about people coming over .
I go about my day leaving him for up to 5 hours on his own .
And the best thing - when I come back I know he’s happy , loving , calm and comfortable!
I honestly can’t thank Joe enough !
Changed dog , changed owner , changed life .
Thank you

another full night in my own bed in a living room
day 2 letting mummy go to work on her own
no barking / whining / biting/ jumping up when someone comes in and I’m home alone
finishing my meals when given
letting mummy wash her hands / have a cuppa after work before she calls me over
I don’t even look up when my family are having meals or snacks
being fantastic on walks
I heard another dog bark but I didn’t !
I didn’t chew anything up whilst on my own
A super super boy ! I’m over the moon .
One visit from Joe sorted everything .
Thank you

Today was the day after Joe came to visit Marley.
I am so pleased to say that he managed sleeping in the living room in his own bed, ON HIS OWN the whole night ! I’m so proud of him
This morning I went to work . Usually Marley would come with me . Not today ! Today he stayed at home .
When I came back , I calmly walked in , put my shopping away , sat down for a cup of tea and only then I called him over to say hello .
He patiently waited in his bed , tail wagging , but he only came over once I called him .
Then I wanted to have a walk in a park as I had a hard day at work so I took Marley with me . I must say - he was absolutely amazing ! I even got a compliment from a passer by on how beautifully he’s walking we were in the park for an hour , plenty of dogs going past - 0 reaction , no barking , no growling .. NOTHING! Just calm , peaceful , enjoyable walk.
Then we came home , I gave him his food which he finished . That usually did not happen.
I prepared dinner and sat down to it in peace and quiet . Marley just slept in his bed .
Then it was my turn to rest so I lay down on the sofa watching TV with snacks. This time Marley sat up in his bed and let out a wee cry trying to get my attention. I just said :” Bed!” And that was that ! So simple .
He’s soundly asleep .
The best boy

Here is a little story about Creed he is an 11 month old Xl which he was a little out off control with no obedience and a quite reactive dog, creed was ever only around our family dog from he was 8 weeks old so he didn’t know how to play with other dogs and would not listen to commands, Creed (Greedy Creed) as he never left the table or left anyone alone when food was being opened or around, the video at the start is a video from this morning Before Joe came out and the 2nd video is a very shocked and happy family able to sit down to food without him coming anymore near us!
I as a young girl could not walk creed from he was a pup, he would’ve pulled me to a point I would get upset as I couldn’t take him from my home to my family home, and today I was able to walk creed with confidence and a huge smile (some tears) on my face, I am honestly so grateful for Joe and his support I feel as if we have a new dog

We cannot thank Joe enough today for helping us to learn how to create a much calmer environment for our GSD Wolf. I was never able to walk him due to pulling on lead and reacting to other dogs, I dreaded walking him. Also Wolf never settled in the house with my partner constantly following him with anxiety. Within 3 hours Joe has totally transformed our relationship with Wolf, . Thankyou once again Joe

I can’t thank enough Joe for the work he’s done in our household with our three dogs all in one appointment! He’s a very passionate and professional at what he does. We could see a huge difference in all three of them straight away and the best thing is that it will only improve from now on! All my dogs had behaviour issues, i.e. a lot of barking, jumping, not walking properly on the lead, not listening to my commands, etc and their behaviour is not even half as bad after just one visit. Just WOW. Thank you so much Joe. This man is a dog Whisper!

We got our dog Zoey from a shelter when she was 4/5 months old and experienced some issues with her given her age. She had separation anxiety, pulled on the lead and was reactive to other dogs when out walking. Joe spent 3 hours with us and Zoey is like a new dog. She’s not nearly as anxious or needy, and actually took herself to bed about 3 days after Joe attended which was completely unheard of for our needy dog! She has found her independence and is a much happier pup

Joe came to our house today to work with our Fox Red Lab, who basically didn’t know boundaries for personal space, due to poor health there was no way I had the strength to walk her, 3 hours training me the owner & Bailey my Lab plus taking the 12 year old Jack Russell in hand, I have different dogs tonight in my house, who know personal space & the whole family was able to eat without being attacked for food, this man is unbelievable the gift he has is unreal & Im actually looking forward to the future of being able to have a dog as my companion without being covered in bruises due to her having to be jumping all over me to be the centre of attention, my husband thought my head was cut for considering employing these services & apologised after Joe left, completely converted an unbelievable experience for Dogs & their owners

Great to get someone who was very knowledgeable and began training our dog without fuss. It did eat into 4 hours of great work but in my estimation very much needed. He left me with a few things to keep working on and I am continuing to do so. Well done Joe and thanks for your help. You never know I might take you up on the call if I need to. Best of luck. And would recommend Joe for any dog training. 👍👍

Contacted Joe as have a 3 year old extremely Anxious and hyper cockapoo at home who is a huge part of our family but now with having our newborn daughter we knew we needed help to calm him down. From my first conversation with Joe he built me with so much confidence that he could help us relax our dog Galvin which to me was hard to believe as we have tried everything in the pastFrom the moment Joe set foot into our house and the session began me and my wife couldn’t believe our eyes it was like a miracle. Galvin was no longer running riot around our house barking and jumping he was calm and relaxed. Me and my wife were both amazed and for a moment thought Galvin was a new dog!Joe also trained me to use the lead as previously Galvin pulled so bad that it was beginning to be so enjoyable to walk him. Now Galvin walks right by my side listening to every word I say again this is something that has never happened until we met Joe. Honestly we highly recommend Joe he definitely is a miracle worker! We now have a calm relaxed dog and a stress free home

Dog TrainingUnbelievable is the word I will use. We rang joe and asked him to visit as are young pup had bitten my son a few days ago. The vet advised on the phone to put him down and said it was cocker rage. We have a cocker (arlo 10months) and a shiz tzu (oreo5) the minute Joe walked into the house both boys went mad. Arlo was very aggressive ( I actually got bitten) and honestly I struggled badly. The problem was as joe explained to us was I was so anxious and we were making him worse. Oreo was actually causing arlo to have the reactions. Oreo is all bark and then standing back to let arlo be aggressive. Joe quickly informed us that arlo was so anxious. Joe was out for 3hours and both my boys are chilled and on there beds. We know we have to be consistent and training in us will need to continue. Joe has left a couple of hours now and both boys have went for a walk and now back on there beds sleeping. Joe saved are dogs and we feel so confident that we will have 2 amazing dogs
