Can't recommend Rob more highly. The difference in the behaviour in my dog in such a short period of time is amazing. Daily walks are now a pleasure.

Went on the pack walk. These pack walks are invaluable in getting the dog used to walking in the company of other dogs, as we usually walk in the woods and fields and meet few other dogs.

Life is sooo much better post-training!

We greatly valued Rob's very extensive canine knowledge, effective training abilities and his general positive attitude throughout. Our dog, Teddy, is now remarkably calm compared with how he was pre-training. These days, we can have peaceful evenings in, without having to deal with almost constant barking and whining for no apparent reason. Also, Teddy no longer resource guards aggressively, which had become a big problem. During the training process, we could see the balance of power gradually changing in Teddy's mind until he now accepts us leader of the pack. Thank you so much, Rob!

We had some issues & I had tried everything including 3 weeks at a training camp epic fail, but after 1hr with Rob it was a massive improvement we then had 4 training sessions in total & all problems resolved & better still I’m more confident in the problem environment so again it’s a non issue. I honestly can not recommend K9 Control enough. Happy dog happy owner with a much better understanding of each other.Also the dog food & treats are great & keep her occupied if I’m out did the 1st all day out and she was still chewing on her big bone when I got home, but she’d had naps in between & no stress or separation anxiety, amazing results. Thank you Rob & Stacey .

Initial consultation

Our appointment was very informative, re dietary issues and analysing the reasons for our dogs behaviour issues . We now have a plan of how to go forward with training . Rob comes across as incredibly knowledgeable and gives outstanding advice . I would thoroughly recommend anybody to book an appointment if you are having issues

Life changing

After only 3 sessions with Rob, life with our reactive border collie Ludo has taken on a whole new dimension; already Rob has restored hope that at last I can really enjoy walks, confident that Ludo will respond immediately to recall and stay next to me when encountering other dogs.
Ludo has become much more relaxed and affectionate at home and we are looking forward to making further progress from pack walks and more training sessions in the weeks ahead.
I am so grateful to Rob for his patience and understanding with difficulties I have encountered at times.

A home visit to help with visiting Grandchildren.
Rob has helped us with Rocco in outside situations, but one of our big issues was him reacting to visitors, so we asked Rob for a home training session.
The tips he had given us before were used in conjunction with 2 adults and 2 children 7&9 plus Rob coming into our home.
Because Rocco sounded and could get snappy in such situations the children were wary about coming in. We muzzle him and he had his collar on. Rob observed us controlling him and recommended some changes to help de escalate any potential situation. At the end of the session both parents and children were a lot happier and Rocco understood the boundaries.
E collars can be controversial but without it we would nit have seen the improvements we have. It means we have a much better behaved rescue dog and that was what we wanted to achieve for all of us.
We hope to join the pack walks in the future. But thanks Rob we could not have hit where we are without your help.
