BUDDY

10 months ago I took on a foster dog who had quite a bit of anxiety, fear, and other challenging behaviours after being in a shelter for 18 months. It was pretty intense for the first few months, and adopting Buddy wasn’t really an option because I didn’t think I could handle her long term, as I had a busy work and social life, and adapting to get her more social seemed too much.

Luckily Adrian was involved from day 1, literally, with practical suggestions that I could implement quickly. It started with tips and ideas, on simple things such as time out and walking, and developed to include obedience training, education about dogs in general, and behaviour modification.

We have progressed so far, that now I am the owner of a brilliant dog, who listens to me, barks a lot less, trusts me so much that her anxiety has lessened significantly, and is approachable by strangers.

We still have work to do, especially Buddy and I together, but the guidance, and the practical advice Adrian has given us, has been invaluable, and most importantly, easily applied.

Thank you Adrian! It is a pleasure to watch you work. Your passion for the pups is obvious to all!

ZORRO

Zorro grew up to be a nervous, scared dog for some reason but in just a few months Adrian changed his behaviour around to being calm in the presence of humans and, currently, on his way to being peaceful in front of other dogs! Turning to him was the best decision ever. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, empathetic, hands on and knows exactly how to deal with a specific problem. Best is he is training me as well to deal with Zorro in his absence.

I can’t thank him enough and wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without him! Highly recommended!! Zorro loves him too!

YOSHI

Adrian is extremely patient in his sessions and took the time to first and foremost get to know my dog Yoshi. As a rescue, this was really important for me to build the trust as Yoshi doesn’t usually warm to men - but he loved Adrian straight away. I was also really impressed with how Adrian directed a lot of teaching towards me, to build my confidence to learn how I should react in different situations to give the support Yoshi needed to become less reactive. We have already achieved so much in such a small amount of time and most importantly Yoshi loves it! I couldn’t recommend him enough!

CHAPO

We approached Adrian to help us train our 4 year old dog, Chapo (Mixed-Breed Rescue). Adrian showed us how to implement the training over a few sessions. He was gentle with his approach towards Chapo which was very essential given how shy and scared Chapo was.

Adrian gave us personalised strategies to work on to help build Chapo's trust, confidence and improve our communication with Chapo. Thanks to him, Chapo is now a more confident dog. Adrian is an excellent trainer!

BRUNO

I recently had the pleasure of working with an amazing dog trainer, Adrian.

We had almost given up on Bruno with his aggressive nature when I was introduced to Adrian. One of the things I appreciated most about Adrian was his approach and his persistence to give Bruno a chance. We took the opportunity offered to have Adrian drop by our home and do a session for free and before taking a decision. 

From the very first session, it was clear that this trainer had a deep understanding and love for dogs. He used positive reinforcement techniques, always focusing on rewarding good behaviour rather than punishing bad behaviour. This not only made the training sessions enjoyable for my dog, but also created a strong bond of trust between him and the trainer. Adrian was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to address each and every one of our concerns and questions. He provided practical and effective training strategies that were tailored to my dog's specific needs.

What impressed me the most was how he was able to break down complex commands or behaviours into simple steps, making it easy for both me and my dog to understand and execute. Not only did the Adrian excel at teaching basic obedience commands, but he also provided valuable guidance on other aspects of dog ownership, such as proper nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation. He truly went above and beyond his role as a dog trainer, showing genuine care and concern for the overall well-being of my dog.

Thanks to his expertise and guidance, my dog has made incredible progress in a short amount of time. He is now a well-behaved and obedient companion, and I owe it all to this exceptional trainer. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about the welfare of your dog, I highly recommend working with Adrian. He has undoubtedly made a lasting positive impact on both me and my furry friend.
