Here are some testimonials from our happy clients
Conrad gave excellent training advice while we walked my two daycare dogs, who haven’t been socialised and behave quite defensively when they encounter other dogs. He has a warm and approachable manner and they loved him. I have used his techniques and seen a noticeable difference in a short time. I’d definitely recommend him!
One word, Revolutionary! My dog (Ruby) has been pulling on the lead and a real nightmare for years!
Conrad was so helpful!
He gave really good advice and training techniques we fixed our walks in such a short time! Conrad really knows what he is talking about and taught me how dogs learn which I knew nothing about!
I enjoyed the sessions so much I signed up to the block classes of training he offers and myself and Ruby have learnt lots of tricks. I have noticed that my bond with Ruby is so much more than it used to be!
Cannot recommend highly enough!
