"100% recommend Lee, Kian and their co-workers. I first contacted Lee around a year ago when I was having reactivity issues with Chilli, one of my border collies. I’d seen multiple other trainers and their methods had included bribing her attention with food and squirting her with a water bottle - none of this worked!

Unsurprisingly.. within a month of starting Lee’s classes there was a very noticeable change in her behaviour, not just around other dogs, but her general attitude towards me and training. I’m so much more comfortable taking her out now and I’ve even managed to take her away on holiday a couple of times, something I never thought would be possible. I also take my 12 month old pup to Lee and have done from the start.

Lee has helped me teach her to be balanced and calm from the start and her training is coming on brilliantly thanks to him. As we’re often told in lessons, training a puppy isn’t an 8 week course and that couldn’t be more true! She’s definitely still a working progress. But what made me write this review was this video I took of my 5 collies yesterday. Lee only helps me train two of my five dogs in lessons, but I apply what I learn to training all of my dogs. A year ago the thought of having all of them calmly chilling out whilst I work was a bit of a pipe dream, but now it’s my reality 💕 They’ve finally learnt the art of doing nothing." - Charlotte R L Askey, St Helen's, Merseyside

"Cannot recommend highly enough. I have a very reactive hyper French Bulldog. Lee came out to us. Literally 3 days ago my boy is a different dog already. I was at my wits end and Lee gave sound, professional, honest and effective advice. I’ll be honest tried everything until we met Lee. If you are struggling this is definitely the guy you need. Thanks so much" - Sonjia Clarkson

"Teaching a puppy to switch off is so important and Lees puppy classes have helped my 15 week Doberman so much. After class yesterday she chilled out for an hour in a restaurant when out for a Fathers day meal - just taking in all the sights and sounds and not reacting. Would definitely recommend him as a dog trainer- I travel an hour to his classes and well worth it for the no-nonsense approach he has" - Jen Symms, Tarporley, Cheshire

"After 1 hour with Kian, our 5 month patterdale pup stopped barking at the other dogs around her and focused on us. We have been dreading walking her because she had started to bark and squeal at all dogs and some people we walk past. We now feel much more confident in handling Minnie in a safe but firm way to help us and her enjoy her walks more. Kian wants what’s best for the dog and his love for terriers definitely shows, which was great for us after not so great experiences elsewhere. We have a lot of work to do at home and on her walks but feel much happier and it’s all because of very simple changes and Kians understanding of her breed. Thanks so much!" - Tom & Danielle Swinscoe

"Been struggling with some very specific resource guarding with my 2 year old Rottweiler, he became partially sighted at around 18 months old and, as well as the on going resource guarding concerns, started to become more reactive to other dogs and people when they approached from his blind side. Since attending Lee’s training he has become much less reactive around other dogs, his recall has improved significantly and our overall walks have just become more enjoyable. There is definitely still work to do around his resource guarding, but this is why I am still continuing to attend Lee’s classes. Could not recommend him enough!" - Lauren Jane Highton, St Helen's, Merseyside

"We thought training a puppy would be a walk in the park. Unexpectedly, our Mini Schnauzer, Heidi decided she was going to bark like mad at any dog that came into her sight. This behaviour started at a puppy training class that we did elsewhere - their solution was to set up barriers around her and isolate her from other dogs. After 4 weeks, we went home feeling deflated - holding a completion certificate but with no solution to our dog’s reactivity issue.

We were very lucky to find Professional Dog Advice & Training online. From the very first class, we knew we were in good hands. With about 20 dogs around, Heidi was at first uncontrollable, until the trainer stepped in and calmly instructed her. It was like a miracle, but also so simple - she just needed to be told what she could and couldn’t do.

Week after week, Heidi has made amazing progress. She now sits, lies down, and walks on a loose lead, even with other dogs nearby. Basically, this training works! If you have a puppy, don’t even think about going anywhere else.

The trainers have been brilliant with advice, reassurance and guidance and have been very generous with their time - we really owe them a lot.Thanks a million to Lee, Ian, Kian and the rest of the team at Keepers Cottage. Every day is a school day - see you next week!" - Fionn, Nicola & Heidi Keane, Liverpool
