Hear it from my past clients...
John has a genuine love and passion for dogs that shines through in his classes. He has trained us :) to develop mindful techniques that help us engage with our puppy by guiding him with positive instructions. The benefits have been enormous and we will be forever grateful, thank you John.

Hi John :)
Our sessions helped me to better understand Rusty and his behaviours. They've enabled our whole family to help with Rusty's ongoing training to better understand us too, so everyone is happier and can enjoy our walks together!

We cannot reccommend John enough! We engaged John a couple of months ago to train our one year old rescue pup. John was friendly, informative and professional. Not only did John exceed our expectations, John taught us so many skills and explained every step of the training process. Our rescue pup is now a well behaved member of our family, without anxiety! Thanks again John.

John has helped us understand and develop our relationship with Louie and understand how he fits within our pack/ family. John has been able to bring us into Louie's world and grasp his behaviour from his perspective. We have gained a much happier dog that better fits our lifestyle, John's training has been fundamental in this process.

Wow, where do I even start! Having a pup with such hi energy, hated a lead & very little obedience training previously - in just the first session, it was like we had a completely different dog. In just 3 sessions, her recalls are 10x better, she is becoming a delight to take for walks & her attention to distractions is minimal. I really was lacking confidence in being able to train my pup as I thought I left it too late - but you've proved me wrong! With your patience & passion, your love for dogs & your expertise - you're the real deal! My family & pup are so grateful to have you as part of our pack :)

A stronger bond has developed between my dog Mindy and myself as a result of the sessions we have had with John. John shows a great empathy towards each individual dog and Mindy adores him making the task of training much easier and enjoyable for us. Results have been very satisfying and John's sessions always extend owners and Man's Best Friend's understanding of each other positively.

John has been absolutely wonderful with assisting us in the training of our 2 rescue pups. They had no training when we got them and have come so far in the short time we have had them. His knowledge is 2nd to none and his training methods are extensive, gentle, assertive and above everything, effective. John gets into the minds of and concentrates on the well being of the dog. Our pups have gone from being extremely reactive and boystrous to now are so much more calm and confident and coming along in leaps and bounds. They are on their way to be sound, obedient and happy dogs. Proud puppy parents here and cannot recommend John any higher.

We’ve been doing both group classes and 1:1 training sessions with Man’s Best Friend for our dog Lexi, and we couldn’t recommend them more!
Lexi absolutely loves both of her trainers and gets so excited whenever it’s time for training. We’ve grown so much in our own knowledge and confidence as dog parents — the trainers really take the time to help us understand what Lexi needs and how to support her.
Thanks to their guidance, Lexi has made amazing progress in her skills and behaviour. We highly recommend Man’s Best Friend to anyone wanting expert, caring, and effective dog training! 🐾

John and Sam, they are both professional, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Their sense of humour and down to earth personalities make them approachable and training classes easy to attend. Classes are educational and fun!
These are people you want to help guide and educate you with being confident in all aspects of life with your canine family member. The techniques you learn are invaluable and help with even the little things. It is very rewarding implementing everything you learn.
We look forward to the next stage with them both!

John and Sam love dogs and what they do with so much passion and it shows. The basis for their training is focused on creating connections between dog and owner and building from there. They personalise their advice and training and are available for advice at all times. I am so glad that we chose them to help us with our puppy and can not recommend them highly enough.
