I never do reviews but this was a must! The service is second to none and the amount of time and dedication both Steven and Aoife put into the care and training of the dogs definitely deserves recognition and recommendation. My dog Darcy has just finished a 6 week board and train at the couples home. She has been totally transformed from a typical cocker spaniel, basically not listening or obeying one word I said! To the most obedient well behaved happy dog both on and off lead outside and also in and around the house she is much more relaxed, no more barking at the every sound or movement. The future looks so much better now that I will be able to take her everywhere and not avoid! Thank you so much guys! Your the best T & D 🐾
Where to begin! 6 months since Pablo has finished his 6 week board and train with k9 Rehab and he is happier than ever. Steven remains as dedicated now as he was 6 months ago when we first entrusted him with pabs, always there to answer questions we may have even this far down the line! Thanks to Steven Pablo is much more confident, reliable off the lead and on the lead, follows recall, is fully crate trained/place trained and all around a much more calm and happy little guy. The results from the 6 week board and train with Steven are long lasting and the skills and care that he puts into training your dog are unmatched! Trusting someone with your dog for a long amount of time seems daunting, but trust me if they go to k9 rehab it will be well worth those 6 weeks for your dog to live a much happier life in the long run. Pablo is a whole new dog compared to this time last year before his programme, and we will never be able to thank Steven enough for all he has done for him and us, worth absolutely every penny! Amazing service, truly caring trainer, excellent results. Myself and my partner would never recommend anyone else, Pablo too I’m sure!🐾
Steven was great. We left our 2 year old Labrador with him for a week for training on the lead and reactivity. He’s 40kg and used to pull us around and really react to other dogs. Now he walks besides us perfectly on a loose lead and doesn’t even blink when other dogs pass by.
Absolutely amazing couldn’t recommend more. My 3 dachshund’s all went for a 4 week board and train. During this time Steven addressed barking as this was becoming a real difficulty at home and on walks, addressed lead work and obedience. At the end of the board and train for each for them Steven and Aoife went over all of the new skills learned at length ensuring we knew how to best manage the dogs as well as continue their learning at home, this took a full day learning for each of them and it was learning each minute. Each of their recall is excellent which has really changed our walks as well as their behaviour on lead. Steven has been available at any time for a text or phone call to clear up anything which is unclear, checking in and ensuring that I am happy with the training and that all of the learning is still in place. Home is a much more peaceful place now for the dogs and the people in our house. If you’re considering it go for it! It’s an investment in your and your dogs future! Absolutely brilliant!
I recently had the pleasure of working with K9 Rehab to help train our dog, Maisy, to walk on a loose lead. In just three hours, the progress we made was truly impressive! The trainer was knowledgeable and patient, providing us with effective techniques that we could easily implement. Maisy responded well to the training, and we left feeling confident in our ability to continue reinforcing these skills. Highly recommend K9 Rehab for anyone looking to improve their dog's walking behavior!
