Testimonial – Dog Training with Teddy the Staffi x Boxer x Terrier, Preston, Lancashire.

Where do we begin! Our dog Teddy is a rescue dog, the only thing we know about Teddy’s past is that he had been abandoned and is roughly between 3 & 5 years old. Teddy had been with us for around 7 weeks when he began to show signs of aggression towards other dogs and was very dominant.
Our vet recommended that went to Damian for some training. We arranged a 1 to 1 session, we filled Damian in on what we knew about Teddy and then showed him how we walked Teddy, or rather how he walked us! Teddy is a fairly big dog and is very strong. Damian pointed out what we were doing wrong and within a few minutes of holding him on a more appropriate lead he had him walking much better. Damian then introduced us to one of his dogs, and we soon discovered that actually Teddy isn’t aggressive, it was us being naive in handling our dog.
We began attending group training classes where we learnt how to walk Teddy properly and how to manage his behaviour.
We have now had Teddy for 6 months we, and he, have received outstanding training, support and advice from Damian who doesn’t hesitate in telling us what we are doing right and the areas we need to improve.
In truth, if it wasn’t for Damian’s input Teddy probably wouldn’t be our dog now, instead we have a dog who we wouldn’t be without.

We cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, honesty and above all else your patience.
