Chris just an update on Bentley and the issue we DID have with the car. Yes I say did as now Bentley is more than happy to jump straight into the car with little or no hesitation. He will sit and wait until I give the command for him to jump out of the car too. Still keeping the training going in other areas and will be booking agilIo soon.

Alfie enjoyed his "agilio christmas party" this morning, he is still chewing away at his presents. Thank you both for all your tips and advice over the last few months. Look forward to more agilio in the new year. Happy Christmas from Jane, Roger and Alfie

Thaks for the help and ongoing support, Chris. Regards
Linda, Rob,claire, Benson & Gina:D

I am always here for my clients after any 1-2-1 consultation. Achieving wanted behaviours in our dogs can take some time if your dog is reminded of it's past history. Remain calm and positive and you will achieve what you want in your dog, just like before this blip. :D

After re-homing Harry, an 8 year old Lab, from the Dogs Trust. We noticed that we had some pack leader issues in the home. I contacted Chris, who came to our home and noted the problems I had. Within hours Chris had taught me how to deal with these issues. His training methods are incredible. He communicates with dogs on another level. He has given me the confidence to apply what he taught me. All I can say is, thank you Chris.

Well I just have to say so glad I found Chris. Having gone through the puppy classes I was very pleased with how Bentley was doing but one think holding us back was the issue he had with the car. So a call to Chris to help out and I can say it was well worth the time spent with him on a 1-2-1 basis. Having been shown the right technique and a lot of daily work I can report that Bentley is becoming much more accepting of the car and for the first time today actually jumped into the car and sat down with no hesitation. All I have to do now is continue with the training. Thanks Chris see you at Agilio soon!

Dogs have to accept the space they go into. Bentley didn't accept the car as a good thing, but it sounds like you are well on track for having a dog that now accepts the car as a good thing. WELL DONE....! Please keep me informed.

'Fang' here - your favourite Bichon Frise! Since you came to my home in April I have learnt lots of new skills and have become such a well behaved little dog! I am so glad that I have been given the opportunity to attend your 'agilio' classes, they are helping me to keep fit, I am no longer afraid of the tunnel, the seesaw was great and I am even able to jump that fence like the horses at the Grand National! I even sit and stay at the bottom of the stairs thanks to you and the lovely young lady who helps. I went to my first party on Saturday and all the humans were saying how well behaved I am, these are the same humans that used to try and catch me when I ran away. But that was then!

:D Hi Chris, really enjoyed Agilio this week. So did the dogs, looking forward to next weeks class.:D:D

I am really glad you are enjoying the obedience classes. When i designed the class structure, it was designed for people to have fun with their dog's, but to instill that high level of obedience as well. See you soon.

:D Buster and I have just finished our seven week course with Chris and Charlie, we have enjoyed it so much.
Chris has made it enjoyable but fun, whilst keeping it professional.
Worth every penny! Thanks very much :D

Hi, Chris, Thank you so much for your help with our puppy staffordshire bull terrier Vinnie. We thought we would have to give up Vinnie because he was uncontrollable. Jumping up at people, food aggression, eating stones, and very hyper. But since you have helped us, Vinnie is a changed dog!! He is getting better everyday and we feel like we are the pack leaders now!. Thank you so much!:D:D:D

I took on a little rescue staffy, who had a big separation issue and was very unsure around other dogs. Thanks to Chris and all his hard work my little girl now happily interacts with all other dogs and will sleep peacefully in her bed when left home alone:D. I would certainly recommend Chris to anyone with dog behavior issues.:D

We came to your Pack Leader Workshop yesterday and can't thank you enough for all the advice, guidance and tips you gave us. We put into practice the structured dog walk today and can't believe the improvement in Alfie already. We are looking forward to seeing details of your Agilio classes as we think he will enjoy and benefit from them. Thanks again for a brilliant day yesterday. :D:D:D

Chewing socks, bouncing round the furniture, can't answer the front door, pulling on lead, over excited dog. Get the picture?? Well Chris has sorted all of this out and more. Happy dog equals happy owner and happy owner equals happy dog. What more can I say other than Thank you very much Chris you are a master.

Earlier this year I had problems with a 'gun shy' 15 month old springer. The problem was caused by me rushing his training. I asked Chris for his advice and now have a spaniel that goes mad when I pick a shotgun up and cannot wait to get into the car. I take him clay shooting with me and he sits patiently watching me miss. I cannot thank Chris enough for his advice. :D:D:D

Never thought Roxy would ever walk that well on a lead and behave her self in the house!
Covered things I wouldn't have even thought of.
Brilliant guy, and had an awesome time :D
Well worth it:D:D

Back in November 2010 we called Chris to come see our dog called max who was slightly dog aggressive and wouldnt walk to heel (he's in the pic's, he's the black and white dog walking next to the pushchair) which after a visit from chris and dedication from us Max is like a different dog. January 2011 we in herited my mother in laws dog. She is a gorgeous dog but no matter how hard we tried she would do the same as Max. So we contacted Chris. Yet again he has made such a difference to our household. Sadie now walks to heel on the lead and i can now get to my front door without being shoved out the way and go for a drive in the car without 2 dogs whinning in my ear. Chris is a life saver and i trust his teachniques. Thank you chris.

Hi Chris
You came to meet our Bichon Frise 'Fang' in April as he simply wouldn't walk and just laid down when we took him out. The advice and new lead (only £5.99) that you recommended have worked perfectly and it is a pleasure to take him for a walk. The neighbours on our dog walk have noticed too! We would love to do some more training with you and would like to register for one of your group sessions in either
June or July if you have got any spaces left. I will send you a text to confirm. Look forward to seeing you again.
Barbara and of course Fang!:D

Hi Chris what a fantastic day i had when you came and spend the day with me and Bella.
Our Westie bitch would bark and go totaly mental even with volume off at the tv to the extent we could not watch the tv and always bark when in the garden and bite if you touched her paws or put the lead on her .
After spending the day with you she totaly changed from a misbehvouring puppie to a more relaxed and behaved puppie.
We can now touch her paws and brush her without her biting and watch any tv program we want with no barking or going mad and pulling things of the table because the tv is on.
I would recomend you to anybody who has problems with there dog.
To see her change within a couple of hours of you bieng with her is amazing.
she now walks on the lead without pulling also thanks to you it is a joy to take her out with us now.
thank you so much for your help and a thank you to your assistant also for her help and photos.:D:D:D

I thought the 'dog training session I attended' in High Barnet' was an excellent event.Chris was enlightning and approachable.The class was very well attended class & Chris made time and effort to help everyone's doggy questions.Truly valuable.I would recommend.:D:D

Thankyou to the Legend. Chris started working with us in October 2010 with Ollie our working cocker. He was very aggressive towards other dogs to such an extend that we simply did not enjoy walking him and had pick our routes and times to avoid other dogs. Chris worked with us on structured walks, at home and with his own pack and was 'like a dog with a bone' until he was satisfied that he understood Ollies behaviour. We were given a plan of action and Chris was in touch constantly to check our progress. It is now April 2011 and whilst there are dogs that Oliie still does not like, we have just returned from a 2 hour walk, encountered many individual and groups of dogs with no issue whatsoever. Thanks to Chris this is very much the norm now. Thanks again Sam and Martin.:D:D:D

Bertie & I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Puppy Training Classes. I now feel confident Chris has taught me all the skills i need to carry on as Bertie grows up into a very large Rhodesian Ridgeback :D

Hi Chris, Well, what can i say. BRILLIANT!!!!!! We have 2 Black Labs, A 4 year old and a puppy, The puppy was a nightmare, too much energy and a real handful. Chris came to see us one evening to see what he could do and within minutes Bronx (the puppy) really settled down. Chris today came back to spend a few hours with us and the dogs and WOW, the dogs now walk to heel instead of walking us. they now don't climb on the furniture unless they are called up and wait at the bottom of the stairs instead of bolting up after us. Its almost a miracle. He put together a structured dog walk so we can go out and fulfil the dogs both physically and mentally. Im rambling a bit but you get the idea. Definately worth the time, money and i wish i'd called him months ago. Thanks again Chris. Regards Dave and April:D:D:D

We had introduced a labrador puppy into our household with existing 3 year old lab and they were fighting when off the lead - since our day with Chris we implemented his suggestions and now have two very calm dogs who are happy to play together - this was a massive success for us. Thanks very much.:D:D

Thanks for helping us with echo, can't believe the massive improvement in her. Returns from walk leave me with no aching arms and with the dog thanks to the recall training ! it's fun to take her for a walk now .(photos look good ):D

Chris really helped me with my new puppies in building my confidence. My pups are well behaved and are happy; I thank Chris with all sincerity.

Chris you were my saviour I had a very agressive dog who you turned into a much more social animal in 3 hours. Thank You.

Chris reminded us who the leader of the pack should be and surprisingly it shouldn't be the dog!!! He gave us plenty of suggestions and advice, and I can honestly say that they have made a great difference. Thanks for everything Chris. :D:D:D

We have a 6 month Newfoundland pup "Meg". Lovely nature, but bad jumping up habit. Thanks to Chris's advice and guidance we can now return home from a spell out without getting jumped all over. We continue to seek his guidance and think his prices are real value for money.

I would highly recommend Chris,great results,professional,friendly service.Thanks :D

We were abit sceptical about not going down the 'dog training' route but we were desperate when we rehomed Kara, 1yr old jack russell. As loving as she is at home it was very stressful taking her out for walks as she had a go at everything. We followed all the advice given and are still seeking advice and the support has been invaluable but there are improvements. The herbal tablets seem to be having an effect. We might get a normal dog. Thankyou.

Great progress with Rollo and Roscoe thanks Chris! They're getting on much better after your advice about leadership. Looking forward to the next session!

Chris showed us great techniques to help stop our collie being agressive to other dogs, he has given us alot of information that we are acting on, Nells progress is coming along well. Thankyou very much :D

Chris was instrumental in building my confidence when I brought my two puppies home. The girls are well behaved, obeident and happy.

Excellent Service, great value, all problems solved. Would recommend to anyone. Really impressed,...
