We bought Maisie from Rory 24 months ago and his support and brilliant dog training sessions are excellent and I would recommend Rory and Link K9 to anyone looking to purchase a German shepherd he is absolutely wonderful with amazing dogs. Andy, Nicky and Alfie. Thank you Rory

Spent an hour with Rory as my 2year old German shepherd pulls on the lead and is aggressive towards other dogs. Rory in a matter of minutes had her walking to heel. He also explained why she did this and I also had her walking to heel instructioned by Rory. Rory then moved onto the aggressive problem by introducing his GSD. It was brilliant my dog didn't growl or jump up and didn't react to either of Rory's dogs. Best hour I've spent. On the walk how it was now a joy to walk my dog. I highly recommend Rory's training methods and advice.

I got Kai from Rory 3 months ago and he is the best dog. I talked to Rory a lot before making the final decision, to make sure I get a right dog for my family and Kai is everything I expected: smart, healthy, well-trained and obedient but also extremely sweet and gentle to family members and friends. He is truly a family protection dog - friendly to everyone until I give him the right command. I feel completely safe having him in the house or walking with him at night, I know he could protect me if I was attacked. Rory is very professional, he cares about his dogs a lot and spends a lot of time in training them well, Kai is socialized, not scared of getting on the train or going to crowded places and very friendly to other dogs. Rory made sure to get him used to everything. Kai was definitely worth his price and it was a pleasure to work with Rory and Karl, thank you for giving me a new family member. If you are looking for a protection dog for your family then this is absolutely the best place to get it.

Had two 121s with Vicki and think the penny is beginning to drop!She is very knowledgeable and can see immediately were you are going wrong with your dog.She seems to see things from the dogs point of view and really educates you to tap into that.Charlie adores her!!

Absolutely love them. We did the bronze course which they do not rush, compared to other training centres. The setting is lovely, with indoor and outdoor areas, the dogs get to learn extra things when there is spare time, and owners practise loads more than needed. Pass rate seems high, and the amazing staff are practical, warm, very helpful, and give great tips! I highly recommend!

I highly recommend West Lancs Canine Centre for training of both dogs and their owners. A totally positive experience for everyone with good learning styled to address the quirks in each dog’s personalities. We have been through Puppy foundation to attending Gold classes now, and with our new pup, we have gone through puppy foundation and are on bronze. Both of our dogs are very different personalities and breeds- yet both dogs are making fantastic progress. The classes are fun so you can make friends too, but above all, total support and backing all the way. Thank you Vicky, Pauline and Brian for all the great work and help that you do for me, Zane, Walter and Martha. X
