Dog Training Planet Reviews 10

James has been training my Norfolk Terrier puppy almost from the day I collected him. He is an excellent and patient teacher. Charlie is almost 6 months old now and is, I think, doing well. I do realise that James is actually training me and he is excellent and patient with me too. I would recommend James to anyone who would like an expert to train their puppy (or dog) Jacqueline Lee

James was fantastic! He helped me transform my relationship with my dog through clear, patient training techniques. He not only taught my dog new skills but also helped me understand how to be a better dog owner. James uses positive reinforcement and takes the time to explain the "why" behind each training approach. I feel much more confident as a pet parent and have seen significant improvements in my dog's behavior. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and effective dog trainer, I highly recommend James

James is a fantastic trainer, explaining how to understand your dog and work together so that you and your dog are a team. Training was enjoyable and I feel much more confident when I am walking with my dog. I highly recommend working with James. Thank you James for your guidance. It has been invaluable.

James is a fantastic puppy trainer! All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our walks with him. He is warm and friendly but firm - with you and your pup! Which is what’s needed when all you want to do is spoil and cuddle your new puppy. We found the commands practices and supporting videos super helpful. James was careful to emphasise the importance of asserting yourself as the leader of your dog. He clearly loves dogs and is an expert in handling them and their welfare. We appreciated the certificate for Arya at the end - a lovely touch. We are very grateful for all his support and would recommend.

I am very grateful to James for teaching me so much about my dog and guiding me through difficult moments. Even if some issues I have with my dog are not curable, it was worthy to try and at the very least my understanding of what was going on with my dog improved. With this review, I simply want to encourage other dog owners to seek for help earlier (I wish I knew that) as it would make a better outcome. Don't wait until the situation is unbearable.

I saw James to sort my bouncing and lively 2 years old GSD Otto who I struggled to walk to the extent I was not able to give him enough physical exercises. James started with repairing our relationships and general obedience like recall and waiting for me. This indeed paid off within the next few months. Otto is so happy now to run free and is much better at looking back at me. This was an amazing transformation! James truly is a dog whisperer with excessive knowledge and understanding dogs.

I had the absolute displeasure of bumping into James while he was “training” on Wimbledon common.
I could see him struggling with the dog on a long line and saw him allowing the dog to hyperfixate so even before I reached him I called ahead to ask if it was safe to pass and after he said yes i kept my dog in tight heel as I attempted to pass.
When I was about 1 meters away he just let go of the long line!! And let this dog slam into my own resulting in injury.
Despite my dog's distress, he showed no remorse or accountability, even laughing at our misfortune.
Bad training aside, to laugh in the face of an owner who’s dog you just enabled to get injured is just disgraceful behaviour
It's appalling that someone who claims to be a professional could handle the situation so poorly. Avoid this trainer at all costs if you value the safety and well-being of your pets. Not sure where he got his “qualifications” if he has any but this incident could have been prevented, the dog was on a long line and mine was under control in heel but James *chose* to let the long line go. I don’t know what dog training qualification recommend that.

James has been a great coach for me and my new puppy, guiding me patiently thru some key drills and advising me when I had questions
Highly recommended

James is an incredibly seasoned trainer. I reached out to him before our puppy arrived, and once our furry friend was ready to venture out after vaccinations, our training journey began. James consistently employs positive training techniques, which have significantly aided our puppy in establishing a strong command response foundation. Beyond training, he provided invaluable insights into canine health, demonstrating his extensive knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a beautifully behaved puppy.

I have an 8 month old Jack Russell and as soon as we would take her out and see other dogs she would bark non stop . Her walks were not enjoyable on the opposite very stressful . We had other issues but this was the biggest one . We met James once and he provided us with such helpful advice . He spend time with us and the dog and gave us exercises that really help us . After a month we met with James, my puppy is getting so much better and her walks are much calmer and enjoyable, we actually let her off the lease and she plays with other dogs now . Thanks to the professional help from James our life and our little ones change . James care about the animal and he has so much knowledge. I would definately recommend him to anyone . He knows what he is doing and what the dog needs. When I message him to ask if we need to book another session he said no as long as all still going well . Thank you so match James for all your help and advise ! We are so grateful to you 🙏 Christina
