Penny had puppy training sessions with Lewis as soon as she was able. She’s nearly 3 years old now…but an absolute joy - because of the investment I put in for puppy training sessions with Lewis. Dog owners I meet in the park always comment at how well behaved Penny is…and I always recommend Lewis. Lewis is so helpful and has always been available with advice and guidance through tough training moments. Thank you Lewis.
Can't reccommend Lewis enough. Such a nice, friendly guy - but more importantly incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Really helped us with our puppy, with the group classes, and also 1-2-1 sessions (one of which we did later once our puppy had turned 11 months) If you are looking for a trainer or some advice, Lewis is superb!
We joined with Freddie the doberdor who is our cross breed Doberman/labrador. He was around 12 weeks old when we started as we are first time dog owners. Lewis helped us with basic training with our puppy from a young age so we could continue with that each week and as he grows up. We understand the importance of puppies need sleep and definitely not to go hungry! We now also recognise signs of distress or unwanted behaviour and how to intervene to reduce any chaotic behaviour. We brought the package that included 2, 1-2-1 sessions and have regular contact with lewis on updates with our doberdor as well as continuous advice and suggestions. We’ve never been to another dog trainer but could not imagine we would get a better service than this! We also regularly go to the Empawrium shop which Freddie thoroughly enjoys and also gives lewis an update on how Freddie is when greeting people and the other dogs inside! I couldn’t imagine how Freddie would be if it wasn’t for the training with lewis and early socialising at the classes. Would highly and strongly recommend Digs Behaving Gladly.
Lewis has been working with us for the past 3 months of improving our little Dobermans behaviour. We struggled with our Doberman as we were first time owners and extremely overwhelmed and had no clue where to start! Lewis helped us in understanding why our dog was behaving the way he was, how to anticipate bad behaviour and stop it before it happens. Now 3 months on Kobi our now 7 month old puppy is a different dog, he is so calm and we, as owners are much calmer too. When he is naughty, we now know how to deal with outbursts and also his outsbursts are less and less because we stop them before they happen! We would highly recomend Lewis (and we do to everyone we meet with troublesome dogs) to anybody struggling. Also, our Dobi loves Lewis!
Lewis is knowledgeable, kind and very clear with his instructions. Going to his classes is a pleasure and my dog loves it - Bella is asleep for hours after every training session. Lewis also helped me with a few issues when I messaged him to ask some questions.
