Back to Balance Canine Behaviourist  Reviews 

It has be less than 2 weeks since Az came, and my dog is already so much calmer and happier. I am so pleased with the whole experience and results so far. Az was thorough, in no rush, experienced and honest. I have taken his advice and already my dog is showing huge improvement in behaviour. I contacted Az in the hope of understanding my dog better and being able to communicate with him effectively. I definitely received this and more. He explained everything so thoroughly. It is the best money I've ever spent, and I would truly recommend any dog owner had him visit as I am confident anyone would benefit from his experience and knowledge. So grateful Az Thankyou!

I can't recommend Azz enough! From the moment Az arrived he was patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Azz took the time to understand Buddy by observing his behaviours while also educating me. The progress we have made is excellent and Buddy is a much calmer dog. With the training now in full force, he has made a significant amount of progress. I cannot thank Azz enough for all his help and knowledge. Azz is worth every penny, I would highly recommend!

We have spent a month with our rescue dog living in the downstairs toilet. We haven't been able to put a lead on him or take him out for a walk at all, let alone share a space with us. Within a few hours Azz had Hector on a lead, and out for a walk, with Hector even sitting with us for a few minutes in the living room. We have a clear path to living the life we initially wanted when we rescued Hector and we couldn't be happier with the help and support Azz has provided. Not only was he fantastic during his visit but the continued support to ensure we are going in the right direction has been exceptional.

Aaron came to help us with our 8month old Beagle who was full of energy and the balance of control was in her favour. Within 4 hours I felt empowered to be able to put things in place to get control back, and after a couple of days we were enjoying her again. I can’t recommend him enough.

After finding a few behaviour issues with our staffy Vinny we watched a couple of videos with Azz and hoped he could help us. From the moment he stepped in the door he got to work on Vinny, he passed on alot of information which has already had a major change in vinnys day to day that's settled him into our home life and given us the tools to continue with support if needed.

Azz was fantastic. Myself and my partner were really struggling with our 1 year old frenchie - previously had quite a few sessions with a dog trainer. He was extremely reactive towards other dogs and pulled on lead. Azz did an awesome job of explaining the reasons why and steps we can take moving forward. We've already seen a huge improvement.

Azz was fantastic, there was no rush during our session and he took his time to clearly explain things and discuss some points we raised.
We also at our own pace went for a walk and he helped us correct where we needed to and reassured us. We feel really confident since our session and would have no hesitation going back to him and recommending him to others. Since our session we have had a follow up report and a phone call, he has said he is always at the end of the phone if we need him at any point. Fantastic.

Highly recommend booking a 1:1 session with Azz, we learnt so much which was really valuable as first time dog owners. He took so much time to go through everything for us and followed up with our progress. Our pup had been resource guarding and after putting in place the changes suggested by Azz we now have a much calmer and more settled pup. He is much more engaged with us and he even now chooses to bring us his toys and drops them for us which is worlds apart from the pup we had a month ago. We've learnt far more from Azz than from puppy training classes, and feel much more confident going forward. We couldn't recommend enough.

Learnt a lot as informative with a report to follow .
Practical session very useful with helpful advice

Really good advice, delivered clearly and with great patience

Very friendly and down to earth.
Very happy with all I was told.

We asked Azz to visit us and our 20 month old male intact Labrador Retriever. We had been growing in concern with some of his behaviours, and we decided in order to try and understand him and his needs best, we would invest in some professional help. Azz was a pleasure to deal with from the off, we talked on the phone about what my main concerns were and arranged a home visit. The home visit was incredibly enlightening and really helped us to get an insight into our dogs behaviour and how we could help him. The visit itself was very low stress on us and our pup, and it was very interesting to hear how Azz does what he does. He spent many hours in our home, and followed this with support and guidance afterwards. It was very reassuring to be able to do this! Every dog and their needs can differ, but Azz took a great deal of time in finding out about our home, lifestyle, routine and how our dog currently acts within the home. The proof really is in any results you may observe, and those for us thus far have been very positive. The small but very significant changes we have made have made for a much more harmonious household and a more calm and relaxed dog. If you are in any way hesitating to contact Azz - don't. You will get helpful, fair and valuable insight into your dogs behaviour and very real advice and summaries as to how you can make long term changes to achieve the result you want. Azz was prompt and friendly in his communication, while being very direct and this was something we really appreciated. We look forward to seeing what our pup can achieve! Thanks Azz, it was a pleasure and our boy will be far more content with us having more of an understanding of his needs. Would most definitely recommend to all and any dog owners.

Very informative chat about dogs in general Good positive solutions to our dogs behaviour and how to overcome her dominance in the home.

You can tell that Azz is passionate about what he does and dogs, he has so much knowledge and takes the time to really explain things. We've previously seen a dog trainer and were left feeling worried about her behaviour still, the support Azz has given to us in 4 hours has made an immediate impact on our dog and in less than 48 hours we've seen a vast improvement, almost like a different dog. It's a weight off our shoulders.

Aaron came to help us address a couple of issues with our XL bully/Rotty cross and had absolutely no issue helping with a breed with an unwarranted stigma attached. His knowledge is unbelievable and so informative and it was an absolute privilege for him to share it with us. Behaviours we thought meant one thing meant something completely different, and logically and directly tied in with the issues we had. The next day, a scenario arrived for us to put our training into action and it worked instantly. His communication before, during and after has been clear and concise and I would have absolutely no reservations about using his services again. I would recommend this guy to anyone, the fact this is his full time profession for many years is testament to the service he provides.

Azz explained his approach so we understood what was needed. Immediately there has been a huge improvement in behaviour by implementation of the advice and techniques. We now have a very different dog who is no longer trying to be in control

Azz, was great very informative and gave me the knowledge I need to work on my dogs behaviour... here's to trying things out for the next couple of months and see how my dog does . 🐶😊

Really informative and friendly, he explained it to us in a way that made sense for us and the dogs. Looking forward to seeing the difference in their behaviour over the next few weeks and months 😊

Really enjoyed our morning with Azz. Everything he said was so informative and made so much sense. 2 days later and we are already seeing positive results with the dogs. It does involve alot of hard work but will be so worth it. Thank you so much

Azz was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and took the time to answer every possible question we had. The service is invaluable if you are a dog owner and just want to have the happiest dogs possible. We learnt so much and could not recommend him highly enough. Every dog owner should spend time with him! Especially because there are people out there who will charge you for advice but have a fraction of his qualifications, if any.
