I can’t thank Brian enough for his guidance, patience, and expertise. He has helped us build Buddy’s obedience and turned our walks into something we both love. Before starting the 12-week program, my golden retriever was extremely reactive, and pulled on the lead. I struggled to walk him, and it was a daily challenge. Now, after completing the program, he heels beautifully by my side, and doesn’t react to other dog. We enjoy peaceful, stress-free walks together. The transformation has been incredible.
I would highly recommend this training service. I feel like I am seeing the light after a struggle with my reactive dog thanks to the help and support from Brian and the team. Very approachable trainers.
Where to begin??? My big (and he's huge) black lab Baxter couldn't set sight on any other dog without reacting. LOUD barking and lunging to the point where I would drive miles to the middle of nowhere to walk him as my anxiety was through the roof and I didn't want to risk meeting another dog. Then I got in touch with T.P.K.T. They tailored a block of sessions to our needs which we are just over half way through. The difference in Baxter is unreal, today for example, at a session, we were in the park with 2 other dogs and he was lying down just watching them do their thing!!!! At an earlier session we actually walked alongside another dog!!!! We still have wee blips but like I said we are only half way through. The big difference is I now have more confidence to walk him in well known dog walking areas. Brian's knowledge and understanding of dogs is quite incredible and I can't thank him enough for the progress so far!!! Long story short..... don't think twice about booking T.P.K.T
We started working with Teachers Pet when our puppy was about 6 months old. We have a Great Dane puppy who can certainly be a handful and Brian has been excellent to work with. As well as training our dog it is training us as owners so we can achieve our ideal results. They have access to great facilities and the training has been very clear and we have seen great progress almost instantly. We're very excited to reach the end of our course and believe that we will have a well mannered and obedient dog.
We’re almost half way through our training plan at the moment and we are already impressed with the progress we have made in such a small amount of time. Brian’s knowledge and expertise are first class, his advice and guidance has really helped not just train buddy, but train us as his owners. We’re very grateful we came across Teachers Pet K9 Training and would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for help with training their dogs.

Logan was just awesome. We took 2 canoes for 4 days to wild camp. He managed to be super chill and also safety conscious, had us check in with him on the water in case we got into difficulty via Garmin InReach, gave us lots of hints and tips and local knowledge. We owe it to him that we could get a trip together with only a few days notice.
We had a really good time on the water and had wonderful experience. We can only recommend LandD Adventures for a canoeing experience on the lochs around Fort William! Logan did some great pictures of us, this way we have a good lasting memory of the event!
Great experience with Logan ! I would definetely recommend his canoe adventure with a group of teenagers!
Logan (LandD Adventures)was amazing. He fitted us in for a paddle boarding lesson within hours! He was patient, calm, professional and adapted to the different ages of my children. He was also very accommodating with special needs. He made sure they had a great time and learnt whilst having fun. I would definitely recommend him.
We had such a fantastic experience paddle boarding with Logan! He took so much time with my 7 year old, teaching him everything, playing games and having fun! He is now so excited he has asked for his own board for his birthday. Cannot recommend this experience enough! Thank you for all the time you took with us out on the water Logan!

Scott looked after our old dog today while the rest of us climbed Ben Nevis. He was very professional and courteous but most importantly our dog was obviously very happy with him. Highly recommend.
Scott saved our holiday. When my mum couldn't come at the last minute, Scott agreed to walk our Labrador on the day the rest of us wanted to climb Ben Nevis. Communication in advance with him was easy and clear and then on the day I received lots of photos and videos. Just brilliant! Thank you Scott.
Scott did a great job of looking after our girl Heidi whilst we were away. He did 3 sleepovers with her and plenty of walks. He kept us up to date with pictures and videos and Heidi looked to be having a fabulous time with his dog Nev. Friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him and will definitely take advantage of his services in the future.
Fantastic service! We visited to climb Ben Nevis but knew it would be too much for our ageing spaniel. He was collected walked and dropped off twice, fed and watered. We even got lovely pictures of him out on his walk. Would highly recommend and would certainly use again if we're in the area. V easy to deal with too - all in all great experience thankyou!

Returning customer to my favourite pet shop! This is a fantastic business - the service is wonderful, so welcoming, friendly and helpful and always have time to make a fuss of my dog. Their stock selection for treat paste and pate flavours is fantastic (and not something I have ever found elsewhere!). Such a wonderful toy selection - excellent value prices and always have different toys and items when visiting making it as fun for the dog as it for me 😊 Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing pet shop! The most friendly and helpful staff! My cats love the cat food
Good customer service 👍
This business is amazing! I have been going here for a long time now for the choice of healthy products but mainly the staff! They are friendly, welcoming and more importantly very knowledgeable. I recently had to change my brand of dog food from an online tailored brand to a new one because my dog stopped eating it after many years. The company had had issues with suppliers but failed to mention this to the customers till after they had rectified it. One visit to this store and he is now on a senior version of highland hounds which he loves! I was given the advice on changing over and also the dilution of water so he still had a crunch, right down to how his toilets should look! All things I had taken for granted were all fine on his previous food I think he is now a happier dog and his coat and I think his waistline is looking better for it!!! I will be going in at the weekend to purchase a big bag as I now know this is the food for him. I cannot praise this shop highly enough they truly care about the wellbeing and health of animals and this shines through when you go in.
Do you have a canine pal at home? Fancy giving them a treat? Look no further. A cave of nasty smelling wonders awaits, a cornucopia of chewable delicacies, each one lovingly hacked off something dead. The latest in fashion, from collars to leads. Harnesses to blankets. Beds to fluffy toys to tear apart and more. My dog loves a visit. I'm sure yours will too.
