We had the pleasure of meeting lee today and what a difference in just one session! I've taken my dog for a walk this evening using the tips and techniques he shown me and what a difference it has made. My dog is now listening to me even when dogs are present which i didnt think was possible. Highly recommend! Thank you!!
A very infomative session. Lots of lessons learned and appreciated. As Lee says its the humans that need training . We know that if we need any further support Lee is there to lead us in the right direction
I am delighted with the results I got from Lee helping me with Jax. I knew it was my fault I was making Jax reactive, however stopping was difficult, if your nervous your dog knows! The ability Lee has with dogs is second to none, his ability with people is fantastic! I have been on more of a journey than Jax if I am honest. I cannot recommed Lee enough I really can't, he made it seem like magic, I can't believe what we achieved. Thank you so much Lee from us all esp. Jax
Understood our needs immediately and observed our puppy’s behaviour excellently to give us a bespoke training plan. Couldn’t have been happier with the professionalism and comfort in knowing that the training we will now provide will help our puppy develop the right way.
He was very friendly and gave very good advice, advised we can get in touch anytime if we need any further help. Also sent more information to help via wasap.

Lisa was amazing tonight. She was so accommodating. She kept us up to date on our baby Rose. We couldn't have asked for more. Rose also loved spending time with Lisa. Thank you so much ❤️ x
Highly recommend, photo updates were sent to me during the pet sitting which was greatly appreciated and made me feel relieved that Tula was being well looked after and happy🐶
Lisa is lovely auntie for our 2 Jack Russell pups Chico & Charlie, We've met Lisa 3 times already and she is always caring our pups with sincere love❤️ Chico & Charlie love Lisa so much, they trained a lot by Lisa, she keeps sending photos how they are doing and it reduces our worries a lot about left them home themselves. We are very very lucky to know Lisa, I'm sure she is the best of best animal sitter in the world!🌎❤️ Highly recommend! Lots of Love, Chico, Charlie, MJ & Gary
Lisa is fab with our boy jaks who is a 1 year old Boxer, she really knows her stuff and has done a training package for him and us with lots of good advice Judy has also walked Jaks when Lisa was on holiday and she was fab too Jaks loves his walks with them
Lisa took care of our 20 year old cat for a period when a family member was hospitalised. Lisa and her staff member; Jade, went way above and beyond in their care, taking as much care as I'm sure they would for their own animal or we would have taken. Nothing was a problem, including buying special food in town for a finicky eater! They spent quality time interacting each day, not just "food and litter duty". When our relative died and it was necessary to send our cat to our home abroad, Lisa even came on the departure day, because we couldn't, to see her off and make sure everything went to plan. I can totally recommend Lisa to take care of any pet care needs and thank you Lisa, you're amazing!

I contacted Ian for some help with my Gsd for solid obedience training, being a mum with 2 young children and a baby it was a struggle to find extra time myself to get our dog up to the standard our family needed for us all to enjoy time out together without it being stressful. Ian has given us so much more than a very well trained dog, she’s come home an absolute delight! Off to the park with the kids and I don’t have to worry once about the dog, now I’ve just got to persuade him to train my kids! 🤣 Highly highly recommend this guy, if you’re wanting actual results for your money he’s the man! Very happy clients, thank you Ian and of course Ro for all your hard work and love you put into our girl.
Great trainer!
Amazing dog trainer recommended to us. Our german shepherd is a completely different puppy who we can now easily walk past other dogs with no issue. Ian trained us to train our dog and it worked amazingly well! Highly reccomend
We recently used Sexton Dogs to board our GSD Obi for 5 nights. We have never left him with anyone other than family before but after the meet and greet and trial night, we felt comfortable and confident that Obi would be well looked after. They are experts in dog training so we didn’t have to worry about any potential issues when we were away. We got lots of updates throughout his stay and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing he was in safe hands. He is already booked for another week in September and we will be using them every time we are away from now on. Thank you for looking after Obi like he was your own dog!
I came across Ian at Sexton Dogs through Instagram and was honestly amazed at how well-behaved his girls were. At the time, I was really struggling with Bear’s recall, especially around livestock – he would chase in unsafe environments and I didn’t always feel confident letting him off the lead. Since working with Ian on Bear’s off-lead recall, I’ve seen a massive difference in his behaviour. It’s been a total game-changer. I now feel confident that I can recall him away from anything, which is something I never thought I’d be able to say! Here is a photo of the very well behaved Girls teaching me and Bear how its done!

Beth is a very reliable, knowledgeable and caring dog walker, who puts the wellbeing of the dogs first. I always enjoy looking through the photos of each walk, as it means I can see what my dogs have been up to while I’ve been away. I love the array of walk locations so I know my dogs’ walks offer variety and enrichment. I would 100% recommend Beth to anyone looking for dog walking services, and trust her wholeheartedly with my dogs.
My dog absolutely loves his group walks and I always get kept updated with pictures!
Used this service for a long time now and Beth is brilliant with my rotti Whinney. I just have to mention Beths name and Whinney runs to the door. Very reliable and trustworthy.....highly recommend!!😀😀

Our expertise addresses local challenges from navigating the Northern Line crowds at Hendon Central Station to enjoying off-lead exercise in Hendon Park and the Welsh Harp reservoir area.
Hendon's character as a predominantly residential area with excellent green spaces creates specific training requirements. The proximity to Hampstead Garden Suburb, along with popular walking spots like Hendon Park, Sunny Hill Park, and the Welsh Harp Open Space means dogs encounter numerous other canines daily, making proper socialisation and recall essential for peaceful walks.
The area's mix of family homes with gardens, period conversions, and modern apartments near West Hendon regeneration requires dogs adaptable to various living situations. Our trainers specialise in addressing urban challenges including traffic noise from the A41 and M1 junction, busy shopping areas around Brent Street, and public transport etiquette for Northern Line journeys. We understand the local Orthodox Jewish community's cultural sensitivities, ensuring respectful training approaches that accommodate all residents.
Our puppy programmes focus on the critical 8-16 week socialisation period, introducing young dogs to Hendon's suburban environment including residential streets, local parks, and community spaces. Training covers house training, basic commands, and controlled socialisation sessions in Hendon Park, building confident, well-adjusted dogs ready for North London life.
Hendon's popular walking routes often reveal reactivity issues. Our behaviour modification programmes address leash reactivity, fear-based responses, and aggression using positive reinforcement techniques. Progressive training in controlled environments gradually builds tolerance, replacing unwanted behaviours with calm focus even on busy Brent Street or crowded park paths.
For dogs progressing beyond basics, our advanced programmes develop reliable off-lead control for safely enjoying Hendon's green spaces. We train solid recall despite distractions at Welsh Harp and Sunny Hill Park, along with advanced lead work suitable for navigating busier areas around Hendon Central, ensuring owners maintain complete confidence in their dog's responsiveness.

Hendon offers excellent training locations including Hendon Park's open spaces, Sunny Hill Park's varied terrain, and the Welsh Harp reservoir paths for distraction training. Quieter residential streets near Church End provide ideal environments for lead work, while Brent Cross area offers controlled urban exposure for desensitisation training.
Begin training immediately when bringing your puppy home around 8 weeks old. The critical socialisation window between 8-16 weeks makes early exposure to Hendon's environment essential.
