K9 control Reviews 

Rob and the team have changed our lives. Roxy was 18 months old when we got her around a year and a half ago and had both dog and people rectivity triggered by fear. I was at my wits end with her as walks were a nightmare, none of the training we had done previously made any real difference and I didn't want to leave the house with her for fear of running into another dog or her lunging at someone.
In under 2 months we have got to a point where we have a calmer, happier and more confident dog. She can be around other dogs without going ballistic, we can walk with other dogs, she is no longer people reactive and we now have the tools in our arsenal to deal with any reactivity she does still show.
Rob and the guys are all so supportive, as is the community they have developed, and we really appreciate everything they have done to help us and Roxy.
I can highly recommend K9 Control to anyone whose dog has behavioural issues. They tailor their training to suit each individual dog and provide all the support and guidance you need to bring out the best in your furry friend.
I honestly don't know what we would have done without you guys, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Highly recommend Rob and K9 control had an incredible experience with K9 Control Dog Training. The trainer was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also very patient and kind with not only us but my boys. The training methods were effective and tailored to suit each of my dog's needs perfectly, he even picked up on things our vet missed!
I noticed a significant improvement in my dog's behavior after just a couple sessions. I highly recommend K9 Control Dog Training to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog. Thank you Rob for all the help. Looking forward to our next session!

By the time I had found Rob and Tim at K9 I was in desperate need of some help with my 2 reactive dogs.They had been very reactive for a long time.Straight away I was told they could cure them in 2 visits.I wasn't so sure but within half an hour they were walking between 2 German shepherd's in silence.I couldn't believe the change in their behaviour after the first lesson.Its hard to find a decent dog trainer,belive me I rang a few but didn't feel they would be any good after speaking to them on the phone.If you want quick results,no nonsense and complete confidence in a trainer who won't rip you off ,you absolutely need to go to K9 tadley.

These guys are amazing, we're two sessions in and today took our 5mth old Great Dane on a pack walk with approx 40 other dogs. This would never have happened two weeks ago. The techniques are brilliant and without causing distress to the dog or owner. Always positive and we can't wait to see what's ahead for our girl as she progresses. Thanks to Rob and the team.

Since my dog turned one year old everyday life took a turn in the wrong direction , I lost confidence, my dog lost confidence in me and I found myself hiding in any place possible to get away from other dogs and strangers because my boy would just fly at them . Life was honestly miserable for us both , then it got so bad that I reached out to Rob at K9Control and asked for help . And help is what we got !!!! Rob and Tim have taught me how to read my dog and have taught my dog how to trust my judgement. Walks are unbelievably better !! They understand my worries and my background and have helped us so much , I honestly dread to think where we’d be now without them !!! My boys turning two soon and I’m so excited for his future enjoying life again !! Cannot recommend these guys enough . If you need help , reach out to K9Control , best thing ever did !! The guys are so understanding and super friendly , be lost without them !!!

Absolutely the best thing I’ve done, we have a 3yr old rescue who is human and dog reactive he went for his initial assessment today, after lots of noise and resistance to begin with we have already seen the changes for the better and can’t wait to book the next session! Highly recommend and have already been recommending the guys to other people thank you so much Rob and Tim - Vicky and sully

Rob and Tim are excellent. The transformation in our dogs and us in one session was astounding. They have given us hope and confidence that we can resolve the issues between our dogs. Highly recommended and we will continue to use them for future sessions.

What can I say, Tim and Rob have been amazing, after one session my beautiful German Shepherd is not pulling, yippeeee! she has never been aggressive, but wants to get to other dogs to play, it was so hard to pull her back, today however, she walked with about 20 other dogs through the woods. It is phenomenal the change in her (and me). Still work to do, but it’s so worth every penny. Please consider Rob and Tim if you need to teach your dog manners or they need correction. I cannot recommend them highly enough. 🐕🐕

I wholeheartedly recommend K9 Control to anyone in need of their services, and I can confidently attest to Rob's exemplary professionalism, friendliness, and proactive attitude.

I took my dog George for his first session with Rob today and immediately it was like he is a different dog. Rob is so knowledgeable and straight forward. George behaved like a completely different dog immediately and I am finally confident that his life will become less stressful and more enriched with Rob’s input. I highly recommend Rob as a trainer for any reactive dog. I cannot put into words how grateful and optimistic I feel after this session and look forward to the coming weeks. Thank you so much K9 control.

We have had 3 sessions with Rob so far and we are blown away by the difference in our dog!

Nova is a 14 month old staffy cross who we rescued when she was 4 months old. We had been to 3 trainers before Rob to try and help us with loose lead, her prey drive and her reactivity around dogs, all of which failed. Rob was our last option as we had spent a small fortune at this point!

Within 5 minutes of our first session, Nova was walking to heel. Within half an hour of our second session, Nova was walking past Rob’s dogs without any reaction. She has continued to do so when putting everything into practice at home and quite frankly, we are both gobsmacked at the difference in her in just 2 weeks!

We are tackling prey drive and hoping to get her off lead within the next few weeks, which we would never have imagined happening before we met Rob. He is so patient and incredible at explaining what he’s doing and why he’s doing it, which helps us to improve as her owners. Using his own dogs in the sessions makes a massive difference too.

We’re so excited for our sessions each week and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone that is struggling with their dog. He truly can work with any dog, no matter how bad!

There are many reasons why Tom and I like Rob so much and what he is doing. But the stand out feature for us is the no frills and how straight talking Rob is.

Our dog probably isn’t the worst case he’s ever seen but he treats our dog with such compassion and like she is one of his own. We’ve followed what Rob taught us back in the park, at home and when we are out and it’s made a significant difference to how our dog interacts with other dogs as well as how she walks on a lead.

If you are looking for a dog trainer who is passionate, will get you results and genuinely cares about your dog and you - you’ve found the right man. He has a brilliant team surrounding him, Tim is also a knowledgeable man who adds so much value to training sessions along with their pack of dogs.

Don’t think twice or struggle - Rob definitely can help.

We have a 2-year-old Cane Corso, called Nero and have had him since he was 10 weeks old. We initially went to puppy classes to try to make sure he became a well-rounded dog but despite this, he is dog reactive. He has never been bitten by another dog or ever bitten another dog, but he will lunge towards other dogs if they get too close and it’s hard to know what his intentions are.

Nero has weighed about 55kg since he was 18 months, and he is very strong. Due to his reactivity we got to the stage where my wife was no longer able to walk him on her own, as it just wasn’t safe.

We decided to take him to further classes and we also did some 1-2-1 sessions with the trainer. However, they were a positive only trainer and the main way of preventing the reactivity was to feed treats to distract or keep distance and avoid other dogs. We quickly realised this wasn’t going to work as Nero will not eat when stressed, and you can’t always avoid other dogs in every situation.

We knew we needed help and decided the way forward was a balanced trainer. We found a trainer who worked with large breeds and thought this would be ideal for us. However, this trainer’s method was to meet up at a public place where there were plenty of dogs and attempt to walk past them and correct the reactivity when it showed. The trainer never offered to demonstrate this hands on themselves near another dog and never offered to use their dogs in any training. We felt this was dangerous and that something was likely to go wrong and decided not to take the training any further.

Thankfully, we found K9 Control, Rob and his team of brilliant trainers. Firstly, Rob offers a controlled and safe environment where he can assess and work with your dog. The team is also non-judgemental, makes you feel at ease and provides straight forward, honest advice and observations.

Rob is happy to be hands on and able to take command of the most stubborn, strong breeds and show them who’s boss, which we’ve seen first-hand. He’ll explain the methods, reasoning and demonstrate the techniques to best handle your dog. He also has fantastic well-trained dogs that he will use around your dog to help them grow in confidence.

When Rob feels your dog is ready, you can join his pack walks which are great for allowing your dog to be around other dogs, in a controlled way. We’ve only been to 3 sessions with Rob so far and 2 pack walks but we 100% feel we are on the right path and can see improvements in Nero’s behaviour already.

We cannot thank Rob and his team enough and we’re looking forward to having a well-behaved, relaxed dog!!!

Absolutely amazing trainer.
Rob came very highly recommended to me and it’s been the best decision I’ve made for me and my German shepherd.
I came to rob at breaking point. I’d recently rehomed what I thought was a lovely trained dog but she turned out to be very reactive to dogs and people. Rob has been a god send and has helped me and my dog massively so far, we still have a bit of work to go but the rate of progress is unbelievable. There isn’t a dog rob can’t fix. He’s realistic and honest and really cares about both owner and dogs.

What a find!! After many painful months of training with our GSD and spending a small fortune I was starting to give up hope, but then we found Rob. We have only been to see Rob twice and already Bodie is walking to our side, not reacting to other dogs. It has been a breath of fresh air!! Rob listens to us and has Tim with him and other dogs on hand to help with the training.

My husband actually enjoys going training with Bodie and cannot wait for pack-walks and next steps with our boy. Thank you Rob you don’t know how much you have helped us in such a short time.

Absolutely! I wholeheartedly endorse K9 Control. Despite multiple dog trainers telling me that my springer couldn't be trained to walk properly, Rob and his team miraculously transformed her in just minutes. I was truly amazed at how effortlessly they made it seem. Their expertise is unparalleled, and I would enthusiastically suggest them to all my acquaintances.

We found K9 Control after experiencing aggression issues with our rescue pup. Having spent the last nearly 50 years working on the 'Positive Reinforcement' theory with all my dogs, I was initially very dubious of what methods Rob would use. My rescue pup is already 20kg and part Malinois, so we had to do something before he got too big to manage. Rob from K9 Control uses methods that are firm but are very fair and show clear boundaries, which is exactly what my boy needs.
Anything that I have questioned with Rob has always been answered without judgement, without arrogance, just factual knowledge that works.
Rob genuinely loves animals, he is very professional, yet extremely approachable, and most importantly my dog loves him!
K9 Control are literally saving lives of dogs that could potentially end up being euthanized due to their aggressive behavior.
If you are reading this and are considering using K9 Control, I urge you to book an assessment with Rob, I guarantee it will not only help your dog, it will strengthen your relationship too.

Cannot recommend Rob highly enough, fantastic no BS trainer! We came to k9 control with my 1yr old Northern Inuit who was dog obsessed and lacked any manners, especially when it came to walks. I'd struggled with puppy classes and hadn't made any progress with him being reactive to other dogs, so was initially reserved about how much we would actually be able to accomplish but within 10mins of our initial session, Rob had Ekko walking to heel and watching him for the next command 😍 We've since had a couple more sessions and the change we've seen in Ekko is incredible. Almost overnight, he's gone from pulling on the lead and jumping at other dogs to walking loose lead, even along busy roads, and sitting patiently while other dogs run around. My only regret is we didn't find Rob sooner!

Highly recommend Rob and K9 Control. Took my reactive GSD for an initial assessment. What a difference after such a short time, we can now walk past dogs without my dog barking and lunging. Early days still but very encouraging with a big noticeable difference

I went to see Paul with my working line GSD who is a reactive on lead this Saturday and I must say the result we got within minutes were fantastic. Paul is a great trainer, firm but fair with real life scenarios so it prepares you for the real world. Will definitely be taking both my boys on a pack walk with K9 Control. Would highly recommend .
