Just had my first session with Roman (Alliance K9). I had a sense of some of the things I needed to address, but had my eyes opened to a few I weren't aware of. Great initial assessment, very knowledgeable and immediately had more engagement from my dogs than I have for a while. Looking forward to my sessions with him. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get more from their dog.

We bought 2 puppies 6 weeks ago and have been doing to Alliance from the get go. The change in our dogs is incredible! Non stop compliments and disbelief from friend and family about how good our 2 13 week old puppies are, and this is just from a few sessions! Highly recommend Roman, he's incredible at what he does and his understanding of dogs is next level.

I recently had my initial assessment with my 6-month-old Belgian Malinois x Staffy cross, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Roman provided clear, structured guidance on establishing boundaries and leadership, which was invaluable for me as a first-time dog owner. The session gave me a much better understanding of how a dog’s mind works and how easily unwanted habits can develop if not addressed correctly.I was particularly impressed with how Roman tailored the training plan to fit seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring it was both realistic and sustainable. His direct and honest feedback was also refreshing, as it highlighted exactly where improvements were needed without any ambiguity. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service provided and feel much more confident moving forward with my dog’s training journey.

Arrange an assessment and go see for yourself. However, as far as my own opinion goes, Alliance K9 ticks all the boxes and was everything I have been looking for in an experienced dog trainer. Roman is clearly very knowledgable and passionate about canine welfare and growth. More than that, he respectfully challenged and motivated me in a way whereby success wasn’t limited to my dog, but allowed me to progress as a more confident handler. I came away with a thorough understanding of my dog’s needs, as Roman was able to condense years of expertise in clear and succinct manner to help me meet the canine/human expectations. Plus, unlike other trainers he didn’t charge the earth to do so. His transparency and trustworthiness was actually refreshing. If that wasn’t enough, even got to see his young child working his own demo dog. The coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. Top bloke.

We had 5 one to one sessions with Roman for our 1 year old Golden Retriever to help with her engagement and reactivity. He was clear, direct and extremely knowledgable and explained everything to us as well which was great because it educated us and made everything make sense. He guided us well during the sessions and gave us homework to do in between each one. We have seen a big difference in Mabel’s behaviour whilst out on walks and we will continue to put things into practice. We are looking forward to going on some group sessions with Roman in the future! Thank you.

Neil was an excellent help with our grumpy dachshund. A 3hr session has resulted in massive improvement within weeks of implementation. I couldn't recommend Best Behaviour K9 enough!

Well worth every penny! Laura was fantastic training us and our dog Bonnie!! Bonnie reacted badly when on a lead, to other dogs on leads by barking. People thought she was aggressive. After 4 sessions with Laura and lots of homework it is now a pleasure walking Bonnie. Would recommend to anyone!

Leonie Jane ★★★★★

I can’t recommend these enough! We have Laura as our trainer who has seen our rescue pup all the way through puppy and deputy classes. Couldn’t have chosen anyone better!! Io has some behavioural issues due to his past and this school and trainers have been a blessing when giving us continuous help and advice through classes, Facebook group, WhatsApp and more. I can’t rave about them enough. If you manage to get Laura as your trainer too she’s honestly a god send. We will definitely be continuing our training with them🙏🏻

I highly recommend employing Kate as a dog trainer. She is fantastic with dogs and is amazing at breaking things down really clearly to handlers/owners. I have learnt a lot from Kate's approaches to dog training, as she has such a methodical and effective way of working.

I have just completed an online course with Kate after rescuing my dog from Street Hearts Bulgaria, for whom Kate is the patron. Knowledgeable and patient, Kate gave us simple, clear guidance, providing us the building blocks of training for a happy relationship together. We covered creating a strong bond, recall, and other useful commands as well as some fun tricks along the way. I highly recommend training with Kate and Landela Dogs!

We can highly recommend Thuli as a personalised dog trainer. We have a rescue Labrador / cross breed who has had some serious behaviour problems - most notably aggressive sounding "reactive" barking, mainly at other dogs. Thuli took time to listen to the difficulties we were having with our dog, even before we met. This was by an initial free telephone call. This gave us confidence Thuli understood the issues and would be able to help us. Another advantage is that she has a lot of experience working with rescue dogs. She has given us a number of really helpful strategies that have already made a significant difference to the behaviour of our dog (and us, her owners!).

Can't thank Kate enough for the help with my 2 year old rescue Bonnie. So far we are working on building confidence and her checking in with me, loose lead walking. Kate explains everything clearly and with patience. Would highly recommend.

Ahh, Jenny and her team were absolutely amazing! We completed the Puppy Life Skills course and, while we faced a few challenges along the way, Jenny was incredibly supportive -both during the classes and afterwards when I had some questions and concerns. Her guidance made such a difference. We’ve already booked our next set of classes and can’t wait to get started!

Jenny and the team were very patient and supportive throughout the training sessions. They made it fun, and very positive however much the pups might be playing up! Would highly recommend,

The training and support we’ve received from ‘People and Dogs’ has been fantastic! We’ve had the privilege of working with several of the trainers. They have all been excellent. What really stands out is their high levels of care and in-depth understanding of each individual dog. This is an organisation that really goes the extra mile to support dogs and their owners and to tailor their approach to meet individual needs. Training courses are very well structured and backed up by informative videos which are immensely helpful when practicing new skills at home. Support beyond the classes has been brilliant too. Our dog became too terrified to go on walks after she was attacked by another dog. We contacted Jenny at ‘People and Dogs’ who thoroughly assessed our dog’s needs and subsequently put us in touch with behaviourist Victoria Cooper. The guidance and support provided by Victoria and Jenny has been second to none. Our dog is happy and confident on walks again and is loving life!

We attended the Puppy Life Skills course, and we would highly recommend! All the trainers are so friendly and knowledgeable and always took the time to personalise the activities to suit each dog’s learning needs. The online app is very helpful to be able to practise at home too. Thank you People & Dogs, we have learnt so much!

Cannot recommend these enough! So far we’ve joined the life skills intermediate and graduate classes and completed the loose lead walking workshop. Friendly, insightful and fun throughout, we’ve seen a huge improvement with our puppy. All the trainers have been more than happy to answer questions and have taken the time to personalise the course to suit our dog’s learning style.
