Kay tames Reactive Rottweiler!!

I booked a one hour session with Kay after following her on instagram and seeing her stories, posts, and work with other dogs.
I have an anxious, protective Rottweiler who is very reactive and walks were starting to become unenjoyable and difficult. Kay was immediately able to help us and it came very apparent, very quickly(!), that she has an absolute wealth of knowledge.
We worked on a range of things in just one hour including proper leash control, communicating effectively with your dog, placement and positioning, what to do in different scenarios, how to build and strengthen the relationship with your dog, and so much more! Kay even gave us homework!!
We are a few weeks since the session now and I can definitely say that the information and guidance Kay has given is invaluable! Both my pup and I enjoy the walks so much more, have a much stronger bond, and are working on training at every opportunity.
Can’t wait to see Kay again!

Board and train

Kay had my puppy for 7 days for the board and train and I would almost say she is magic and has superpowers 😂. She kept us very updated throughout. We are so so pleased with the results and will definitely be coming back to Kay in future 🙏. Anyone that is needing dog training, these are your people . Thank you SO MUCH ❤️❤️

Such a difference after first session

I've been watching Hightailk9s on Instagram for a while now and finally had our first session. My confidence grew and anxiety started to fade half way through the first session, which meant my dog knew exactly what I wanted from him. Kays knowledge and experience shines through and I trust that she can make walks with my dog enjoyable again. Just the walk back to the car was so much better after just 1 hour. Amazing trainer, highly recommend!

Zuko’s first session

On arrival, Kay noticed Zuko’s prong collar was too loose and adjusted accordingly. Zuko was responsive and after a few instructions at the first session, we saw good improvement.
Zuko took to the session very well & he is now even able to be alongside his brother without them trying to dominate each other. Looking forward to the next session!

Brilliant training service

Brilliant training service. So far, we've had one group training session and it was great! Training tips we're explained and shown in very easy steps. Even though we were in a group we got a lot of individual support. Kay is really friendly and great with both dogs and owners alike. We have a 5 month old puppy and on his first ever interaction with her, he followed commands straight away. She definitely knows her stuff and I highly recommend her services!!

17 minute magic!

I was sceptical as to whether our dog would be too much to handle as a young and excitable, very strong puller - but within 17 minutes of our first session I was absolutely amazed at what had been achieved. I couldn’t recommend Kay enough, we WALKED out of our first session so much more confident and relaxed than when we were dragged in! Thank you to Kay and Mayti, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Book before they are book up

Get your training before they are fully booked.
I had a best first experience, my aniexty was though the roof, didn't know what to expect but I know that anxiety went out the window and my confidence was I the leash. Thank you and see you next week with diva.

I’d reccomend!

Out of all the trainers I’ve had she’s the best! The only one that played around with my dog and was able to maintain serious professional attitude. And utilised my dogs hyperactivness by running around with her and allowing her to have her small amount of freedom. She not only gave corrections to my dog but for me as well to improve on communicating with her.

Amazing

The session as a whole was really good. The trainers were very friendly and fun to be around and just good vibes overall. I wouldn’t change anything at all. I recommend them to everyone who has a dog that needs training. They are brilliant.

We had a fantastic session with Deniro…

We had a fantastic session with Deniro today. Bowie loved him and was really responsive. Deniro took the time to explain everything and why we were doing it. He also gave us homework to work on for our next session so we can progress between sessions.

5 star review

From the very start, me and my partner was greeted with our dogs in such a welcoming way. My partner was mainly doing training with our older dog coco, and I was working with Deniro with my 4 month old puppy Chanel. This was our first session and Chanel is a very nervous pup, so Deniro done an amazing job with building trust and a bond with her first using loads of treats and getting me to get comfortable using a slip lead and giving simple commands. Towards the end of the session Chanel was very comfortable and was looking up to Deniro after every treat to wait for the next command which I found amazing. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a trainer for your dog or puppy.
