Canine Karma Reviews 

Oliver and his team have enabled me to have a relationship with my dog that I never thought was possible. My 4yr old Cavachon had developed very complex issues following a family loss. She had become reactive and aggressive towards other people and dogs both in and outside of the home. She would bark at the hoover and display extreme anxiety behaviours on car journeys. I felt unable to control her and she wasn't responding well to any of my commands.

I had previously enlisted the help of another dog trainer but the techniques given did not work. When I contacted Canine Karma, I had instant results, even after the first session. I have learnt from Oliver and his team that there is so much more to training a dog than just simply implementing techniques. I now have a better understanding of how to teach my dog to trust me and respect me being her leader. She is now responding very well to my commands, she is becoming much less reactive to people and dogs, she is infinitely calmer in the car, and we have no barking at the hoover anymore!

I have learnt how important it is to be consistent and to keep on training, as the more it is practiced, the better the outcome. I am now enjoying my dog walks and my interactions with my dog in general, and I will always be thankful to Oliver and his team for this!

Sam and I would like to say a huge thanks to Jake for his support in helping us with Caesar, our GSD

Our main objective was to get Caesar to walk well on a lead
He would pull me everywhere and it was getting to a point where I was hugely embarrassed to take him out

Within on session Jake managed to turn this around… serious miracle worker!
By making sure both me and Caesar where embedding new behaviours, ensure I was was seen as the “pack leader” not him, making sure I am always anticipating his reaction rather than the other way round and most importantly me and Caesar have a fun relationship

I honestly can’t thank him enough what we have accomplished in such a short space of time
So personable and encouraging

Best bit… we have managed to keep up our training and I love going for walks with him…
Thank you Jake!
All the best
Sam Reena & Caesar
P.s he absolutely loves coming to day care - you are all simply amazing!!

Since we have been using Canine Karma to help train our golden retriever Rigo, his behaviour has improved significantly, the sessions are good and both Kevin and Oliver have been great.

Knowing that your furry family member is in the best boarding environment is vital for anyone. I can’t express enough how the team at Canine Karma absolutely put your pooch and their care for them to another level.
I’ve never been disappointed. ☺️ 🐾

My dog is always happy to go into Canine Karma and when I pick her up, I can tell that she has had an amazing time.

I'd like to express my gratitude for Kevin , Oliver and his team who've done wonders in helping my daughter overcome her fear of dogs.

Before meeting them, my daughter's phobia was severe and limiting. With their professionalism and empathy, Kevin and Oliver devised a personalized approach. This involved gradual exposure to dogs in controlled environments and helpful education about dog behavior.

Thanks to their efforts, my daughter can now interact comfortably with dogs, bringing about a significant positive change in her life.

I highly recommend Kevin and Oliver to anyone facing similar issues. Their patience, expertise, and genuine care have made a lasting impact on our family.

I’ve had four training sessions with Georgia and Kevyn to help me with my anxious Jack Russell. I can’t thank them both enough! They have taught me how to be more assertive and calm with my dog. I have much more confidence which in turn helps my dog know he doesn’t have to worry. We are both a work in progress and I’m really looking forward to the journey with my pup. Thank you Georgia and Kevyn, you’re the best!

From the initial booking to my 2 dogs staying the service was exceptional...
What a lovely clean environment with lots of space.

Jake you are amazing your calm gentle approach was so appreciated by both me and Archie and the fact that within minutes he nestled into you was a deciding factor that I chose right to trust Cainie Karma with my boys.

The video jake sent, again reassured me that both my boys were enjoying and were happy.

The advice that Jake gave was fantastic and we will go forward and put to good use.

Would we use or recommend to others....Well it's a yes from me and a Woof Woof from the boys.

Thank you Canine Karma for making it easy for me to leave my dogs 🐕

There are truly not enough words to say how grateful we are to Ollie and his whole team for how much they have helped our anxious and highly dog reactive GSD Remi. After 3 years of trying various trainers and getting absolutely nowhere, we eventually just accepted that Remi would always be reactive and unable to socialise. However after coming across Canine Karma and meeting Ollie, we made more progress in our first session than we ever have over the last 3 years. In just a few months Remi is now a completely different dog, we can actually enjoy taking her on walks and include her with our plans but overall her quality of life is just so much better which is what we always wanted. We couldn’t recommend Canine Karma enough to anyone and look forward to keep working with them. Lucy, Alex and Remi

The whole team at Canine Karma were fantastic. They did a great welcome tour and made us feel comfortable with the specific needs of our dog. She went in for 2 day board and has been noticeably better on the lead! They seem to really care about all the dogs and take training and looking after them very seriously. We will definitely be coming back and couldn’t reccomend enough (particularly if you have reactive/anxious/nervous/aggressive) - they take everyone in! It’s so refreshing having a boarder that will accept all dogs, it can be daunting for owners to leave them if their dog have issues. Thank you!

Elaine and the team at Canine Karma are great, they genuinely love all dogs. Our golden retriever Bodie enjoys her time there, she’s happy when we drop her off and it’s brilliant to receive videos that show how happy she is.

Our BMD Rapha had a fantastic holiday at Canine Karma and was well looked after. Loved his pack walks and activities and the team were all fantastic. Rapha is looking forward to his next holiday there.

I was at my wits end, we have an Old Tyme Bulldog and an American X English bulldog, both 32+ kg each. I was unable to walk them both without being dragged along and the fear of meeting another dog on route, or a knock on the front door and guests being rushed by 64+kg of over excited dog. Kevyn taught us commands and ways to control the dogs, inside and out of the home. Kevyn advised on the correct leads for our dogs and now I can walk the dogs together with confidence and neither pull or react!! Home is calm when the door goes and they stay in place until we tell them. We visited their site and saw just how every member of staff had passion and understanding of every dog in their care. Canine Karma have allowed us to enjoy are big loveable goofballs.

Ollie offered us training sessions to help our cockapoo with fairly serious behaviour issues and we now have a different dog! Ollie taught us how we should be interacting with our dog, how to implement commands and set boundaries and now visitors to our home always comment on how beautifully behaved our dog is! Ollie was patient, knowledgeable and generous with his time. Thank you, Ollie and Canine Karma!

Being first time dog owners we were overwhelmed with information on how to train and look after our cavapoo puppy.

Oliver was recommended to us by another well satisfied customer. Their positive comments were very much on point.

Oliver had worked with us over 6 sessions. Each time we learnt about new dog behaviours and how to deal with them.
Lead pulling during walks was our main concern but this was resolved very quickly. Oliver identified the issues and stated what we were doing wrong. He explained how our anxiety was transferred to the puppy and showed us how to hold the lead correctly and portray complete control and confidence!

Oliver not only has the nicest personality but is very knowledgeable. He listened to our concerns and helped with each issue.

A mention also needs to be given to Geni in the admin team. A very professional and polite team member who always tried her best to accommodate our requests for booking the training sessions.

Our puppy has had the best training and we in turn are more confident dog owners.

With Oliver’s help we are able to enjoy life with our new family member!

My two giant bears just love CK.
So much so, they often try not to leave when I collect them 😂.
My dogs are a handful, being so big but the entire team are amazing with them. They are so well entertained and exercised they come home healthier and happier (though sleep for 24 hours solid 😂). Jeff, Georgia, Joe and the team are just amazing. (And very honest…. Jeff: human you are the problem not the dog 🤣). Thanks so much!

Kyra (3 year old rottweiler) has been boarding with Canine karma for a while now.
When kyra first boarded I informed the staff that she was reactive to other dogs. This is one of the main reasons why I decided canine karma would be good for her.
They have structure for the dogs, staff stimulate the dogs with various activities, which keep them calm and engaged. Staff are all knowledgeable with a true love and understanding for them.

By Kyra’s 3rd visit she was able to socialise with the other dogs and was not showing any aggression. This was a gradual process introduced by staff at canine karma.

Jake has always given an update on how Kyra’s stay has been and all staff that we have come across are amazing.

Kyra seems to absolutely love going there and always comes out happy.
Couldn’t be happier with canine karma.

We had Kevyn train our Labrador Henry for 2x 2 hour sessions.
He was really good, within 5 minutes we had already seem improvements that we had been trying our selves for 18 months. Kevyn has given us the skills to calm Henry down when needed. The second session we focused on pulling on the lead, this was also done by us learning some tricks. Kevyn recommended all going on the walk, including the kids, so now we can all enjoy our walks without the stress of pulling dog.
Highly recommend Canine Karma and more importantly Kevyn.
Great Work!!!

Highly recommend CK.
I was desperate for help with my very motivated German Shepherd pup and was out of my depth with how to help her. I knew she had the ability to achieve so much more but I needed help and guidance with how to help her do just that. And that’s exactly what Ollie provided.
He looked at the whole picture.. diet..routine..rest time..exercise..etc and we gradually addressed our issues.
Ollie’s approach is gentle but firm. Positive and rewarding for dog and owner.

To Oliver

A big thank you from Annegret, Peter and Bella.

With your help and guidance our Bella is now no longer reactive when seeing other dogs while out on one of our walks. What we have learnt through the sessions with yourself is the need for a calm approach during our walks and especially when we spot another dog. We have learnt the importance of getting Bella to focus on us, to walk with her next to us, to recognise the signs when Bella’s attention is drawn to another dog and to give a small treat and praise when there is no reaction after we have passed another dog

With the help you have provided we can now take our walks with Bella without the tension and the concern that we might have to deal with a difficult reaction when Bella spots another dog.

We recognise that we have no control over other dogs and their owners, all we can do is to maintain a calm approach and to keep Bella’s attention on us.

Any further advice would be most wellcome.
