Southend Dog Training Omdömen 

Adam gave a really informative session that kept me engaged from the beginning to the end.

The way the session was broken down and the explanations given made a lot of sense, as the owner of a reactive shepherd I shall now be using this info and be putting it into practice

Thank you for a great session

Adam is a very good dog trainer. He talks about it very clearly. The seminar was on to the point and I learn new things as a dog trainer. Thank you!

From the moment we arrived I felt heard with my concerns and listened too. Thank you Aaron for an amazing afternoon I went home buzzing to get back out on the morning and restoring my confidence. Me and Milo thank you so much for working with us and taking time to really teach us about why Milo was reacting the way he was and the things we can do. Two new words will be introduced and enforced starting our walk tomorrow Break and leave and I feel my confidence will come back in no time. So Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏🏻

Aaron spoke in great details explaining we’ll identify what my dog needs and what we needed to do

We have been following SDT for a few years now and their advice and short videos helped so much with a few issues we were experiencing with our large mastiff. Over time we were trying to combat a separate matter in the home, where our dog would get overexcited when guests would come over. He would jump up and continuously bark, to the point where we have not been having anyone come over for more than 5/10 minutes. Aaron visited us, and was so calm and understanding. I thought we would need hours and hours and possibly more than 1 visit however, within 2 hours our dog was settled in the living space by Aaron’s feet. We have been given the tools and knowledge to continue working on this area, with clear and uncomplicated advice. Can’t thank Aaron enough as we are now confident to start inviting people over!

Aaron was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. His experience was instrumental in understanding my dog’s behaviour and correcting/improving my management of it. I learnt so much in just 2 hours. Could not recommend enough.

Excellent service throughout. From the phone call with Gemma to meeting with Sophie. Both were so professional and informative. Myself, my 2 daughters and reactive pup were all met with a friendly face and felt at ease and took so much away from our session. We are looking forward to implementing what we have learnt and getting feedback with where we can make tweaks.
It was well worth the 3 hour drive and we are happy with the progress we made in our session. Thank you Sophie 😊

Had a session with Sophie, she put me at ease straight away and was so positive. Have gone away with things to work on and lots of ideas, can't wait to put these into action. Everything was easy from booking to directions on how to find the venue. Thank you so much.

Amazing 1 to 1 session with Sophie! Took my 8 month German shepherd there to work on his reactivity and life skills loose lead walking and working on his control and high drive when to switch on and off etc. Very good communication with me and Kobe. Very thorough and to the point. A lot learnt in just one session! Highly recommended! Ryan

Aaron came for a home visit, he listened to our issues/concerns and gave constructive & valuable advise.
He didn't rush and was able to demonstrate ways to correct dominant behaviour and take control of the situation.
By the end of the visit I felt less anxious and more confident/prepared to manage my dogs in the home.
He shared links on the collars & leads he used during the visit and made me feel that we were not alone and he/Southend was there for support if required later. Thank you

Superb! We had a 1:1 session with Adam to work on my dog’s lead walking and human/dog interaction.
Adam was really easy to talk to and explained everything clearly and even dumbed it down for me! He wasn’t judgemental in any way and solved the lead walking issue within 20 minutes of being there.
My dog can be hit or miss with people but there was no issue with Adam in fact he loved him, I trust my dog’s instincts and again they were correct.
Adam tried different techniques to work out my dog’s interaction issues and by the end of it we were able to identify the reasons.
Thank you to all at Southend dog training and i will definitely recommend!

Excellent session today with Aaron who came to our house and went through so many processes to help us with our GS. What he showed us were easy to absorb, made things look so easy and put us at ease.
Highly recommend this.

Sophie has been amazing with helping me with Mabel. I am absolutely delighted with the progress we have made in a very short time.
Sophie is very supportive and understanding. She took the time to listen to Mabel’s background and then structure the training in a way that set Mabel up for success, without overwhelming her.
She taught me how to help and support Mabel and give Mabel confidence in situations that she would otherwise find overwhelming.
I would thoroughly recommend Sophie.

Very good trainer with patients who was very thorough showed me how to use a different type of collar
And didnt show that she was scared of my dog like a previous training school

Adam really is the Essex Dog Whisperer!
I’ve been struggling with my dog Ralph’s constant lead pulling and I’ve not had any lead control whatsoever until today. After one session with the right guidance from SDT I’m much more in control of Ralph and he’s clearly a much happier dog for it. Thank you Adam and Evan I highly recommend your training. I look forward to a pack walk soon.

Nearby and easy to find. We met Sophie, who is lovely. She really gave us good advice and made everything sound easy. We have a way to go but Sophie really does know her stuff and noticed a change in walking our dog with her advise and guidance. It was such a pleasure to meet you and can’t wait to see Nala’s improvements on the next session

We had a 1:1 session with Aaron last Friday, we traveled 3 plus hours for this and booked a night in a Travelodge the night before as our session was moved to 9am due to the extreme heat, we can honestly say it was worth every penny. Aaron is calm, knowledgeable and incredibly patient. Beau our JRT is dog reactive and a nightmare to walk, by the end of the session he was lying down maybe 4 ft away from Aaron's dog Hank and was walking with zero pulling. Aaron explained to us that he doesn't need to be any closer to other dogs than that it's of no benefit to him he just needs to accept that they are there and ignore them. We know we have a lot of work ahead but feel confident that we now have the tools to correct some of his less wanted behaviors. Thanks again Aaron (and Hank)

I booked a one to one session with Adam at Southend Dog Training after spending lots of time and money trying other trainers for help with my reactive cockerpoo x border collie. Adam was friendly and welcoming and listened to my issues I have. The session was really informative and Adam taught me how to manage situations, changed the lead I was using and showed me how to be more confident. I’ve gone from being nervous about seeing other dogs and avoiding them to being able to see another dog and walk right past. It’s completely changed my walks and given me the enjoyment back.
After the one to one I did a pack walk which was so well organised and helped me put into practice everything I’d learnt in real situations. Such a good idea to run these walks.
I can’t recommend Adam and the team at SDT enough!!!
Thanks for your help, Andrea & Jasper!

We travelled over 2 hours to get to South-End Dog Trainers because we couldn’t find anyone locally to help train our Jack Russell Terrier who was nervous and reactive with other dogs. It was 100% worth the drive. Sophie’s knowledge and understanding of dogs and their body language meant that within minutes of us being there she could see what we needed to change to better communicate with our dog and help him understand what we want him to do so we can start to build his confidence. We followed her advice to the letter and by session two, it was like having a different dog. Worth every penny, and the long drive. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, I would highly recommend them.

What an amazing day, Bobbie and I had training today with Sophie .. she got him to walk on a lead without pulling and also settle on a bed ..

When we got home the Bobster got out of the car and didn’t try to pull but waited patiently for me to move now to put In the training .. thank you Sophie
