We visited Max Canine a few days ago for a 1-2-1 assessment with Emily. Our dog is nearly 5 years of age and suffers from anxiety when first meeting other dogs and strangers. She was a ‘lockdown’ puppy and we did not get the opportunity to socialise her. We were very impressed with the way Emily understood our concerns and the excellent advice and tips we received which are already having a positive effect on our dog when going for walks. We now plan to participate in future group training sessions at Max Canine and would highly recommend Emily.
We approached Emily after a friend recommendation and we were not disappointed. As first time dog owners to a lovely staffy, we did need some guidance to start off at the right foot. If you have a puppy and just want to start things right before developing any/too many issues Emily's help is so valuable. We have had a 1:1 session and attended a lot of the socialisation groups last summer which helped so much. Everything we've learnt we have continuously put into practice and we now have a lovely 2 yr old happy dog that we can take anywhere with us, even a successful holiday to France walking the busy streets of Bordeaux with the most calm and happy boy. To add to that, the confidence you gave me with off lead walking was massive and we enjoy off lead walks daily and I have peace of mind with our dogs recall being brilliant. Thank you! 10000% recommend - worth the time, trust and money (very reasonably priced too). Definitely worth it and your dog will thank you❤️
After struggling with DIY/online training with our very fearful, Romanian rescue, Finlay, we saw Max Canine on Facebook and thought it was time to see a proper behaviourist and the reviews helped us to decide on Max Canine. Emily's set-up in Carrog was ideal for the one-to-one assessment session. The session was great. Emily is really friendly and clearly knows what she's doing with anxious dogs, and explained the psychology really well. We covered basic tweaks like how we hold the lead and control the pace on walks to help Finlay ignore his triggers. Finlay's biggest fear is bicycles on walks - but by the end of the session, Finlay was completely ignoring Emily's bike and just admiring the nearby sheep. We've got a long way to go with Finlay but from taking on Emily's advice, we're noticing improvements already after just two days. We're looking forward to working with Emily and her team going forward!
Highly recommend Emily and Max Canine. My 16 month old dog has responded so well to the advice given by Emily having completed a 1-2-1 session. Focused around what I want for my dog, recall and reduced reactivity, Emily has been able to give some brilliant training to build on. He has already shown such a brilliant improvement after one session which gave me the confidence to take him along to a group session which was great.
I cannot recommend Emily enough. Ori is a collie cross from Croatia. I had been told by multiple trainers he was never able to go off lead and his prey drive had been ‘activated’ and wouldn’t get better. I put him in residential training for around 9 days as his main issue was chasing sheep. ALWAYS chasing sheep. I was kept up to date sent pics and vids showing him to me and what was being taught etc so felt super at ease. Not only that day 2 she was sat with Ori in a field off lead surrounded by sheep. She explained his main focus being around our relationship and took time to show me and explain why and how things work. Absolutely amazing! and Ori is so much more settled as a dog. Listens more and I understand him more. Our walks are more relaxed and I’m no longer terrified of seeing a sheep or anything that moves on a walk. Recommend!!!!

Fantastic. Brilliant idea. Pity some can't pick up after their dogs!!
What an amazing place so secure and a beautiful country walk, loved the little drink station such a fantastic experience so much better than the secure fields and excellent value for money 😍🐾
Great scenic walk. Great idea, you feel safe and more importantly your dog is safe when you let them off the lead.

Great service. Nothing is too much trouble. Having 2 elderly cats, both with health issues their welfare is my first priority. Ralf takes care of my cats when I go away and Sabine always texts with updates. Meaning I can fully relax as I know they are being cared for.
I've known Sabine for quite a few years now and she's always very thorough and does her best for the animals she cares for.
Fabulous service looking after our 2 old horses. Makes you feel so relaxed that they are in safe hands- and sent us regular pictures too! Wouldn’t use anyone else if I want to know they are safe. Sabine is so knowledgable and a great advisor.
Sabine is a passionate animal care and training professional. Her puppy classes are of a high standard and provide puppies with a fabulous start to life. She is kind and caring and all animals in her care experience lots of love and attention. Highly recommend.
Professional service, high level of care, and most importantly very reliable.

Just completed 6 training classes with our 6mth cockapoo. Very impressed with Jayde, our pup loves the classes and has surpassed our expectations with what she’s learnt. Already booked our next classes, highly recommend.
Jayde is very knowledgeable about training dogs and has been a huge help with our border collie puppy when she started lunging at cars! I would recommend her puppy and teenage dog classes, she makes them fun for the puppies and owners alike!
Fantastic experience with Jayde. Super sessions, fun, focused and We have seen such positive results. I cannot recommend Jayde enough, and we love the added extra of the social gatherings.
Jayde has been brilliant with our puppy Caper. Extremely knowledgeable and professional, she really cares about dogs and has massively helped our dog training experience. Oh, and she has the best dog sausages in Britain 🙂
I’ve had a few sessions with Jayde and my miniature dachshund and she is a fabulous dog trainer! Her knowledge is amazing, she can answer pretty much anything when it comes to dogs behaviour and advise. She has really helped me with a few issues I’ve had with my dog and has taught me how to avoid the issues. Jayde is extremely professional but such a lovely, approachable lady :) 10/10 would recommend to anyone. We will be continuing our training journey with Jayde and hopefully start more classes in the future!

I have a 13 week old puppy who is already showing behavioural problems & I was struggling to cope, following an initial consultation with Paul , he has given me the tools to set the foundations of puppy training & and an understanding of how to communicate with him, I am already seeing great results & making progress , I can highly recommend Mindful Dog 👍
Nothing short of a miracle. We have 3 dogs, one of which had become reactive and bitten, we were at the end of our tether nothing was working and we were distraught but on the verge of rehoming her. Then we met Paul, we did out best to follow his training to the letter and a month in she is 200% better. So much less reactive, great on walks now, we are so very grateful for the wonderful work he has done
Absolutely overwhelmed at the change in my Border terrier after only one session with Paul. He took a very nervous but excited dog, from trembling and tucking his tail between his legs, looking for anything likely to approach him and defend himself, to walking on a loose lead at my heel. His tail is out and he’s happy to look at other dogs now, but not bark and pull to engage with them. Being an untrained re-homed 6year old, with no recall or training, walks were a traumatic experience. After 2hours with Paul and his insights and training, we are now able to enjoy our walks. We can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Paul (Harness in photo no longer used)
We adopted Dougie 5 weeks ago. Springer spaniel with very reactive issues when he sees dogs. So we emailed Paul at Mindful Dog North Wales and arrangements made for a consultation. Best thing we could have done. Paul had Dougie walking with Bridie (his German shepherd ) within an hour of meeting. Unbelievable. Next lesson was to change his gencom lead to a slip lead and lessons for the humans. No more being dragged and no more lunging when he sees other dogs. So grateful to Paul for the training, advice and encouragement. We walked Dougie in the dark to avoid confrontation but not anymore. Can’t wait for our next lesson and through Paul’s experience we are walking a more relaxed Dougie. Changed Dougie,s life and ours. Highly recommended Mindful Dog North Wales 🐾🐾
Paul worked with my rescue dog, who was 5 years old and, I could not take him for comfortable walks, he pulled on the lead, so much so that it was him taking me for a walk. He lunged at almost everything that passed us, and was very aggressive towards other dogs, which terrified me.With pauls teaching methods, not only does my dog walk to heal, he now runs off lead and interacts with other dogs on a field. Paul understands what dogs need.I can't thank Paul enough for giving me a wonderful calm,and obedient member of our family, which I didn't think was possible. I can recommend Paul and mindful dog, no matter what problems you might have with your dog. Many Many thanks Paul 😊
