Willow has been going to K9ofLC B.E.S.T. puppy class since she was 10 weeks old ,she is now just 7 months of age. The knowledge and understanding that we have gained over this time has been a huge asset in the development and welfare of our puppy , who is turning out to be the dog we have always wished for. To be able to socialise your dog in a safe controlled environment and to gain some insight into the psychology of dogs helps massively in becoming a responsible caring dog owner , whilst having a highly enjoyable time doing so. I can only praise all of the staff and helpers for making our time there so very rewarding , thank you, Helen /Neil/Willow.

I have been attending training with my reactive 11 month old Doberman for around 6 weeks now. The change in Klaus has been phenomenal really, from not being able to be in the training area without lunging and barking at other dogs at any distance. To playing and interacting with Les and Donna's dog off the lead with no reactivity at all.

From the first one to one Les and Donna were welcoming and understanding of the issues I was having with Klaus and set out a clear training plan which best suited his needs and my schedule.

From day one, Les has improved me as a dog owner and handler and I now have confidence when out with Klaus that any situation I go into with him I will know what to do.

The training all really culminated in a socialisation session in which Klaus was able to join in, and really benefit from being around a number of different breeds, which he hadn't managed to do for some months.

Whilst we still have a long way to go in our training, I could not recommend Les and the rest of the guys at K9 of LC enough. They have changed the relationship I have with Klaus and I am incredibly grateful to them for helping me.

Our 3 year old German shepherd has now been coming to K9 of LC for around 10 months. The progress we have made with Bobby has been incredible. From him being labelled as "aggressive" by his previous trainer, working with Les at K9 of LC has proved that Bobby can be around other dogs, be calm and we can communicate with him in ways we never thought possible. Les understood Bobbys needs from our consultation, where both Les and Donna made us feel very welcome, understood and helped structure a training plan that works for us and Bobby.i cannot recommend this team of professional trainers enough. They Dont judge the ability of your dog based on their history, but see the potential and set clear and realisic goals. The environment is safe for socialising and have excellent equipment to build on your dogs confidence and communication. I recommend Les and the team to anyone who could benefit from training. We haven't looked back since. And more importantly, Bobby loves coming to raining and seeing Les, and Bobby doesn't like everyone so easily 🤣

Great dog’s training that builds not only dog’s confidence but most importantly, the owners’ confidence. Amazing atmosphere where you feel welcome and not judged. We used 1:2:1 sessions and classes and our dog (pocket bully) has made a great progress after very short period of time. We love Les, who has a vast knowledge and experience and great personality and sense of humour, which makes the class very enjoyable as a bonus.

I have been taking my Labrador to K9 for 2 weeks now and the difference is phenomenal. My dog has had 2 1:1 sessions, 2 group sessions, and today a social class. Prior to this training, my biggest nightmare would have been taking my dog to a social environment due to the lack of control I had over my dog. But today, at the social class, was a truly enjoyable experience. Les and his team are nothing but knowledgeable, supportive, professional and encouraging. I could not recommend them highly enough!

Les is a very experienced and patient trainer; we have a particularly challenging french bulldog, and he has improved significantly during his sessions with Les. He hasn’t just trained our dog, but has trained us as well, allowing us to understand our dog’s mind. Fantastic all-weather facilities too.

Les and his team have made a huge difference to the life and well being of our two rescue dogs. In such a short space of time the dogs have started to enjoy going on walks and our family and friends have all noticed the difference in their whole demeanor. We can not thank Les enough for not only training our dogs but us as owners too. We feel more able to provide a stable and happy home for our fur babies.

We can not believe the difference Les and Lyndsey have made to the lives of our two rescue dogs in such a short space of time. They have gone from being very reactive to other dogs in every situation to happily trotting along on walks and being much calmer. We are so happy that they will now begin to enjoy life to its fullest.
