If you need help with your dog (whether it’s for behavioural issues or dog sports) do not hesitate to reach out to Rhys, you won’t find a better dog trainer! Rhys has helped us with all our dogs over the past 6 months, ranging from nervous reactivity issues to tidying up higher level competitive obedience work. His level of knowledge is incredible and he has taught us heaps about understanding and working with our dogs. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!!
Rhys, who runs Ollie’s Training & Adventure, is a consummate professional in his field. Our Border Collie had some basic training but when he was about 9 months old I decided we needed more. Found Rhys on the internet and he delivered exactly what I wanted. He trained me and Fergus! This young man is just outstanding in his process and ability to get desired outcomes. We worked for a couple of months and he delivered in spades. Fergus just loves him and he now goes off with Rhys and some of the other dogs he trained for an adventure run every Thursday. For someone seeking value for money, results and a genuine dog trainer and handler, who will go the ‘second mile’ to get a really positive outcome for your beloved pooch, then Rhys is your man. I would highly recommend Rhys. Bruce Cook Wickham
My dog has been doing daycare with Ollies Adventures for 18 months now. I am very happy with the level of care, the small numbers (my dog doesn’t love big crowds of other dogs), and the same dogs each week. He always comes home tired and happy having charged around in the bush and on the beach. I trust Rhys implicitly. I believe he genuinely loves these dogs as his own and I am always certain they get the best of his time. Rhys is helpful to deal with, has given me helpful tips and hints and will always do what he can to accommodate special requests. Highly recommend.
I reached out to Rhys at the lowest time. Our dog Sully had become extremely aggressive. My fear was that he would have to be put down. We have worked hard for 4 months with tears and laughter to achieve an amazing improvement. Not just in Sully’s behaviour But in my skill level as a dog owner. We are nowhere near done and Rhys will be in our lives for a long time to come. But I believe as a team we have created a much more structured and safer environment for our dog. The business as a whole is professional, reliable, responsive and quality for value.
Our dog Poppy goes on adventures with Ollie every Wednesday and now on Thursdays. She loves it so much, and cannot wait to get out the door and into car with Rhys & Ollie. She always comes home exhausted and often dirty.....So I know she has had a great day. Then last week Poppy & I went on the Peeps, Paws & Plonk hike. It was great to see parts of the Hunter Valley where we can take the dogs off lead and running happily around in the bush. and then on onto a local vineyard for wine tasting and some yummy cheese. Thanks Rhys and Kirsten for showing me places I have never been before.
