Top 5 Dog Trainers in Hounslow

Nigel’s bespoke approach totally transformed the way we understand our dog and the easy to follow techniques have led to our dog being much calmer, more content and less anxious. Nigel is clearly an expert at what he does and gave us the tools and language to resolve the issues we were having and we saw almost instant results. Over the weeks the improvements continued and Nigel was there to support us through this process. I would highly recommend Nigel, he was brilliant and the positive impact on our dog has been game changing!

Meeting with Nigel was amazing! He assessed our young puppy and helped us understand the causes of certain undesirable behaviors and how we should address them. His approach is very intelligent, not just one rule for everything, and he considers the nuances of specific situations as well as our puppy’s individual needs. He’s definitely given us the confidence to train our puppy appropriately, and we’ve already seen incredible improvements in our puppy’s behavior! We’re really excited to continue speaking with Nigel, as he’s genuinely knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We’re over the moon that we enlisted him for help, and highly, highly recommend him and his training approach!

Nigel was everything his reviews lived up to and more. We have a 10 week old puppy and wanted to make sure we were making the right decisions and not setting ourselves up for failure further down the line. We’d read all the books, listened to all the podcasts and watched all the YouTube videos. But real life has a funny way of not going the same way, doesn’t it? So we decided to get in touch with Nigel. His approach just immediately felt right. He was professional and nonjudgmental. He knew straight away the things we needed to work on. As he explained his process and guided us through his methods, everything clicked into place. And from that moment on we’ve felt like much better dog owners because of it. Our puppy is calmer, more confident and happier. And honestly it’s all because we are now calmer, more confident and happier. Nigel might have come to teach the puppy. But really he taught us. He is definitely the dog trainer you’re looking for.

When I contacted Nigel I was at the end of myself with Toffee. My Labrador was attacking other dogs and I was scared to leave the house. Nigel came and was a breath of fresh air. He was sensible kind and quite simply his methods work. In 2 lessons toffee was a changed dog and he showed me workable methods to change her behaviour. He transformed our whole life with toffee and we are all just so grateful to him. Our family could not recommend him enough. It was a complete game changer. Thanks so much Nigel.

Our session with Nigel was excellent. We booked him to come and help with our beloved French Bulldogs who have been quite unsettled after a house move and various major shifts in our routine. His approach is smart, straight forward, and based on simple principles which felt intuitive and easy to follow. Beside from all the intriguing theory and animal behaviour psychology, Nigel’s practical approach is excellent. Watching him get our dogs walking at heel, after years of increasingly chaotic lead-pulling, was quite a revelation. And then showing us how to help our dogs stop behaving anxiously and aggressively around noisy appliances was another practical example of how effective his approach is. I would absolutely recommend Dog Training in London with Nigel Reed The Dog Guardian to anybody looking to simply learn more about their animals, or really address serious issues with their pooch(es).

I came to Niko with big trouble - two large Japanese Akitas who were reactive to other dogs and barked a lot at neighbours. A lot of people around us were scared of them and we even faced an eviction notice from my previous landlord. To top it off, my two Akitas (very much in line with the breed stereotype) were very stubborn and not motivated by food. Niko came into our lives and transformed everything - from eating and sleeping habits to structuring our walks and really placing a consistent reward and correction system. He not only trained my dogs, he trained ME to be confident and assertive with my dogs and know how to look after them. The changes were not easy or pleasant at the start but the results were pretty immediate and I could tell we were in good hands! Now I can take my dogs on walks in public crowded spaces and feel completely relaxed and in control. Really recommend his services!

My name is Jazmin and I am a grateful customer of Nick. I have an American bulldog which was a very reactive dog with any kind of noise including other animals especially dogs. We had an incident where she went for my son trying to protect me and obviously as you will understand this incident created fear on me that my children might be in danger. I lost the trust I had in Gucci and I didn't know what to do so I contacted UK9 training and I was glad to hear that Nick was willing to help me and my family. The first session I am not going to deny I didn't enjoy as I wasn't used to put boundaries around my dog and I felt kind of sorry for her as Nick was quite strict 😅. Second time around my dog knew that Nick was the boss 🙌 and so did I 😆. He trained Gucci but he also trained me to be a better dog owner 😉. I didn't understand the importance of having boundaries and treating a dog as a dog because I used to treat her like my little baby and she definitely took advantage of me 🤣 . Now after finishing all the training sessions I am enjoying my walks with Gucci 🐕 as she knows how to walk without pulling, she isn't reactive to other dogs and she is able to walk near them. For the first time in 3 years we had a holiday away together and I wasn't afraid. She obeys all my commands and the most important thing is that she is not reactive towards my son when he raises his voice. I am very blessed by the experience of having a trained dog and I am happy that I invested my time and money.

I was googling online a puppy trainer nearby for my 3 month old puppy because Ive watched tons of youtubes trying to learn myself but unfortunately that struggled. Then i discovered this puppy training course from Nick - must say Nick is extremely professional and absolute expert on giving my guidance on how to do some basic skills tailored to me and my pup. 3 sessions and 1 month closely following his training guidance must say my pup is finally not peeing everywhere and can now sleep in crate, understand his name, sit and down command! Absolutely magical, highly highly recommend!!

Our lives have completely changed since we met UK9 Training. We have two large dogs at home, there were countless fights and bad behaviour between the dogs. However, ever since we started with the UK9 training for 10 weeks, everything is completely different. I am able to take both of the dogs on walks and feel safe, I can bring guests home and most importantly I now have the knowledge to continue the training with dogs at home . I strongly recommend. Thank you so much🙏🏻

Nick from UK9 Training is a fantastic dog trainer who I highly recommend. I found it extremely hard to find a trainer that would take on my 1year-old Sibairan husky as he was a un-neutered male outside of the house as it was impossible even not friendly with other people and dogs now behaviour outside of the house has also improved and enjoying regular walks and we can manage now our Cash (husky) thanks to Nick’s holistic approach. My dog is so much calmer, and seeing him reach this new level of happiness brings me so much joy and first time we after ages we took him for whole day out to Tulip farm and Chiswick Park and it went so well , we enjoying our life journey with Cash and all the Credit goes to Nick , I still remember when we got him everyone asking us to get him put down . Today Cash n our family enjoying this journey because of Nik and he saved Cash from putting him down . Thanks a lot Nik really appreciate 🙏

Our 7 year old doodle has always been barky but the arrival of a puppy really increased her reactions. It was becoming really really difficult. Nikki helped us to understand what was going on for Lyra and how to start to tackle it and although I was a bit sceptical initially about sessions on zoom, this worked so well. And I didn't have to tidy up which I would have had to for a home visit! Thank you Nikki.

Working with Niki is all about starting from where you and your dog are, and exploring what could be even better. There are no hidden expectations or "should haves"—just a thoughtful focus on what you can offer your dog to make life more enjoyable and enriching for both of you. I’ve learned how to truly live with my dog, without “the walk” having to be the main event of the day. Now, we have so many other ways to stay active and grow together—through games and ACE Free Work—that are easy to integrate into daily life and don’t require a huge time commitment. Even challenges like reactivity are gently and effectively addressed through these activities. It’s been a real game changer.

My anxious puppy LOVES his ACE Free sessions and demands them every evening now. He even goes in his pen to watch while we set up in the room or to wait while we set up outside, then he shoots out like a rocket to see what we have for him today. As he moves his stressy tail comes down, he relaxes a lot and it is helping him generally be calmer. Niki is so supportive and helpful and genuine and ACE Free work is a huge help both for the dog's wellbeing and human observation as well.

We'd highly recommend Niki. She has been instrumental when we rehomed a rescue rottweiler. She helped us build trust with him and help him to get out of his shell. Her calm methods were just the right thing for him. He is a very bright young lad, brilliant at free shaping and learning tricks, but still reactive outside to everything. The no walk method and using his food for training helped improve his behaviour slowly, but we know Niki is there when we are ready for the next step. Thank you!

Highly recommend Niki French Twickenham dog services and pup talk. We have a young and very nervous Lurcher cross pup called Freya. Freya is terrified of alot things such as wind, bins , cars , other dogs and people. We are getting great help from Niki and seeing improvements. Freya is much happier on walks now and we gave games and training to play at home . Niki is a great active listener, gives step by step advice, easy games and videos to help.

Renato is an incredible dog trainer and is lovely to work with. We started seeing him after moving here from the states with our two rescue dogs, one of whom was really reactive towards other dogs which made walking off lead very hard. Thanks to Renato’s techniques Caesar can now do long walks off lead and confidently interact with and be around other dogs without getting aggressive. We are so grateful. It wasn’t fast or easy, we had to be sure to reinforce what Renato taught us every time we walked them, but after 3 months Caesar is like a different dog. Both our dogs adore Renato and he has also done dog walking and overnight dog sitting for us as needed. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Renato has been helping me with my dog for five years. He has been wonderful with her and she adores him. He always goes the extra mile and I thoroughly recommend him. Thank you Renato.

Our dog was leash reactive toward other big dogs and thanks to Renato we can now truly enjoy our every day walks with him. Everything he has taught us has made so much sense for us and we have seen a great improvement in our dog’s behaviour as he is now more relaxed and calm. Renato’s skills and knowledge are a great asset and the way he relates to every dog’s needs is so unique. Thank you so much Renato, you are a wonderful trainer!!!

Renato has worked wonders with my German Shepherd, Lucy, who was very reactive to other dogs. I had tried a number of dog 'Behaviourists' and achieved nothing. Renato's methods seem to work and I am so grateful and can highly recommend him.

Renato was recommended to me to help train a seven year old rehomed Japanese Akita/English Bull Terrier cross, who was good-natured, but over enthusiastic and undisciplined, and had chased a horse on Wimbledon Common. Renato worked with Freddie for over a year, calming him down and de-sensitising him to horses. Freddie became the most obedient and controllable dog I have known. I also learnt a lot about the process from Renato which I have been able to apply in other canine situations. Nick B, Wimbledon
