Clare dog training

Absolutely brilliant dog handler, the minute he arrived to access our dog he knew exactly what he was dealing with .To begin, Philip demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge, expertise, and passion for their work. The amount of effort and dedication they put into understanding our dog's unique personality traits, specific needs, and training history was truly admirable.Their patience and commitment to positive reinforcement training techniques helped our dog develop better manners and respond more effectively to commands. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a dog that is hard to command or listen to.Overall, he provides insightful advice, equipping you with the knowledge to comprehend your dog's behaviour and understand the reasons behind it. This approach not only aids in immediate behavioural correction but also helps foster a deep and enduring bond between you and your pet. By understanding your dog's needs and motivations, you can better respond to their actions and create a more harmonious living environment. We feel empowered and confident in our ability to interact and communicate more effectively with our dog, thanks to his invaluable guidance.

I called Philip to see if he could help with our three dogs ( from 18 moths to 7 years) who we love dearly but were a nightmare when we had visitors they would work themselves into a frenzy of excitement barking and jumping. Walking them was becoming difficult as they would react to every dog they saw. Philip was great he spent the morning with us he was very fast to pick up on each dogs quirks/ behaviours. He got straight to work, explained to us how we could help the dogs become more relaxed. I was sceptical but that evening we had three dogs fast asleep in their crates, and as the days went on they find their own way into the crates and settle down. Philip gave us great understanding of what we could do better and has sent us videos and followed up to see how we are doing. I would have no hesitation in recommending him, I'm only sorry we didn't contact him sooner

We inherited our Border Collie, Willow, after my aunt passed away. He was about two years old and came with some behavioural issues. We were first-time dog owners and didn't have a clue how to manage him. He was great in the house for us but very difficult to handle when anyone visited or when out walking. Philip gave us a top to bottom lesson in how to own and manage a dog. We literally started from scratch. He gave us an overall plan and showed us - in a very entertaining way! - how to interact with Willow and get him to work around us and our lives as opposed to the other way around. Our boys are delighted that we're keeping him.

I made arrangements for a training with Philip after I saw his add in my vet’s office. I have 2 energetic dogs and wanted some guidance with them.Philip’s visit to my home was very professional and lasted about 4 hours. I quickly started to implement his recommendations. I also had many other questions over the next few weeks which Philip got back to me immediately on.I have to say, as a direct result of following his simple suggestions, my dogs are a lot more relaxed and this has a knock-on effect on my home life. I’ve adjusted my attitude on what I thought my dogs should be able to do and what I should be doing as their owner. My springer spaniel now, happily lets me groom her, which is something I never thought would be possible.I highly recommend Philip’s training, especially if you’re thinking about getting a dog.Thank you Phillip for showing me how to shift my thinking across the board on how I care for and enjoy my dogs.

I called Phil on a recommendation from a pet store that had heard good things. He was really attentive and gave us a lot of useful information. During his visit he spoke to us whilst interacting with the dog in her crate. From that point forward the dog has loved her crate, often seeking it out of her own choice. Phil managed our expectations of a puppy - which should be different to our experience of her 11 year old predecessor.I have and will recommend Phil to others.

I recently contacted Philip for help with my two dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. One of my dogs was struggling with separation anxiety, and Philip was able to work wonders with both of them.From the moment he arrived, I could tell that Philip was a true professional. He was kind, genuine, and very knowledgeable about dog training. During the session, I could see my dogs becoming calmer and more relaxed right before my eyes.Philip left me with all the tools and knowledge I needed to continue the training on my own, and I am happy to say that my dogs are like two different animals now. I highly recommend Philip to anyone who needs help with their dogs, and my only regret is that I didn't contact him sooner.The follow-up support from Philip has also been incredibly helpful, and I am grateful for all the help he has provided. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Philip and his dog training business. Five stars all around!

We got a rescue puppy back in July, due to having a past that is unknown, but clearly involved abuse and neglect of some variety, she was timid, scared and wild and uncontrollable. Thanks to Phillip's training and advice she is now well on the way to being much more settled, happy, calm and responsive to commands.All thanks to following the advice we were given.Still a bit of way to go but can always fall back on training received to get her there.Would highly recommend using Phillip as a trainer.

Philip spent a couple of very effective hours with us to put together a plan to manage our German Shepherd rescue.He provided clear, practical instructions and advice to help the poor dog settle into our family. Philip knows his stuff. I was impressed by his methods, teaching us how to be better dog owners and helping us understand the reasons for our dog’s behaviour. It made so much sense.Two months later our dog is calmer and happier. As owners we feel in control of what was initially a very difficult situation. Philip is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.

Had Philip out recently to help out with our rescue dog Ted.Ted is a mixed terrier (Jack Russell/Staffy) and full of life. Philip is very passionate about dogs, gives no nonsense, practical advice with no gimmicks. He's also available for follow up questions etc. We were extremely happy with his expertise and Ted loved him.We would highly recommend Philip to anyone who wants to get more out of their dog ownership experience.
