I was at my wits end with my 4yr old Dachshund who was periodically attacking my gentle 10 yr old Lhasa Apso but 1 session with Yvonne and I understood better what I needed to do in order to support both dogs and reduce the likelihood of an attack. After our 2nd meeting I was even better armed with a plan of action which has been really helpful and hasn’t taken long to see huge improvements. I am so much more hopeful for the future of their relationship and so glad I stumbled across you Yvonne! Thanks so much for your guidance and support. I really appreciate it and so do both dogs lol x
What a great find. The dogs loved it and a full hour for a fiver, bargain. And we were greeted by the gorgeous Daisy. A great place if your dogs just want to play with no distractions.
Yvonne is great! I've done man-trailing, 1:1 classes and muttley crew, all of which have been well worth it.
Yvonne is incredible! From the first day of meeting our pup she has changed his whole world! A terrified puppy is now already becoming a much more confident adolescent! Could not recommend more highly- a total MUST for every dog owner- new or not! Yvonne’s knowledge is incredible and she is a total dog whisperer as far as we are concerned. Thank you Yvonne for giving our pup such confidence!
I brought my springer pup to Daisy Dog Academy for a recall class and more recently the Mantrailing Induction course. We both thoroughly enjoyed the classes and I gained a lot of insight and understanding into my dog’s world, particularly on the Mantrailing course. I highly recommend the Academy, Yvonne’s knowledge and genuine love for her work and for the dogs is very apparent. Thank you Yvonne.

I am not a woman who is left speechless very often, but my experience with Ronan @ Bushi dog was one of them. As soon our training session began ronan was immediately hands on, no faffing about, straight in there. The attention & detail ronan shared with us and our two dogs was perfect. He was open and honest which I was a little but nervous about at the beginning but the actions showed, you just have to trust the process & realise your dogs are very much comfortable with him during the session. We learnt so much, I asked tons of questions regarding certain concerns of mine with our dog’s behaviour & he was always happy to answer with great advice. I don’t have the best concentration spam but ronan and his personality with his passion for dogs kept me drawn in. Since the day and hour of our session our two dogs are being less stressed, enjoying their walks with NO reactivity due to these techniques and obedience is getting better each day. Trust the process with ronan and stay consistent. If you are struggling with your pupper and have not yet been to see Ronan then what are you doing?! Get in touch, I recommend a thousand times over 😊
Ronan is a top guy and a top trainer. He has helped me so much with my super nervous cane corso and my over reactive labrador. Really seen huge improvements even after a few lessons with him, I will be recommending to everyone.

This year I completed 2 blocks of training with Michael and Crawford for our new pup. This is our third generation of family pups that I have taken to Michael and I highly recommend him. He teaches us humans how to bring out the best in our pups with clear instructions and consistency - all done with a sense of humour. I really enjoyed the classes, meeting other owners and their pups. Watching Michael work with your pup is impressive and inspiring. It’s so obvious he loves the pups. If you want the best for your pup, go to Glen-Craig.
Highly recommended attended booze and silver and gold obedience training . Give lots help and guidance built confidence . Skye and I had great fun to and made friends . Also did some agility for fun . Skye my autism assistant dog going here I made sure she was to highest standards. You get best training here xxx local Lisburn for me
We brought our puppy here for puppy classes. The classes were good for socialisation and we covered the fundamentals well, but they were encouraging us to use leash corrections to correct him and a couple of times he took our puppy off us and yanked him back and forth by his leash to the point that he was yelping and we were feeling uncomfortable. Really not the kind of training we wanted, and not what he was saying he was teaching us.
I have attended both puppy and adult dog training classes, and I can honestly say that Michael and his son stand head and shoulders above any other trainers I've worked with. After trying multiple trainers in the past, none have come close to the depth of knowledge and expertise they offer. Their approach has completely transformed my perspective on dog training and has significantly improved my techniques. The results I've seen are nothing short of amazing, especially considering the affordable cost of the course. Additionally, I was able to purchase any essentials I needed for my pup—collars, leads, quality food, toys, and more—right at the course, which was incredibly convenient. I truly appreciate the guidance and support Michael and his son provide. They are by far the best in the field, and I couldn't recommend their training more highly! Thank you both so much for everything !
