Amazing service, we have had one to ones with Connor and the improvements have been amazing, on our first session we was assisted by Katie aswell as Connor and again a great session. We have learnt so much already! We have attended our first group session with Danny, which was a great experience and fun! Would definitely recommend Unleashed K9 Services!! They are an amazing service that really know how best to deliver dog training! Always offering support and guidance which is superb!!
This team are known as the best in the UK and they certainly live up to that! We have a high drive Belgian Malinois puppy who was showing nerv around people and other dogs. We have been training with Robbie and within a few weeks he is coming on leaps and bounds! We no longer stress over walks or around environments, we can actually enjoy the outdoors without thinking of scenarios that could happen. Robbie goes into every detail with you and the work and advice we follow at home has absolutely paid off! I honestly could not recommend these guys enough! Absolutely life changing results already!
I couldn’t recommend dog trainers more than Unleashed K9. My GSD is 3 years old, and I’ve tried other trainers in the past, but nothing worked, and I was left with an anxious, erratic dog, who I dreaded walking. A few months ago, I booked my first session with Connor, and have been going ever since. I now understand Luna’s behaviour so much more, and I’m loving seeing all the breakthroughs and milestones I’m reaching with her, and it is such a relief to finally have a dog that can walk nicely on the lead after three years. I look forward to our sessions, as we learn something new every time. Connor has been a massive support; he is informative, friendly and his confidence in his methods and understanding has put me at ease. At Unleashed, they really go the extra mile to cater to each individual dogs needs, (such as having their own dogs around to help mine become calmer around them) and I’ve not seen that from other trainers I’ve used previously. Luna still has issues to overcome, but I’m confident that both the one to one sessions and group classes will help us get there.
I can't thank unleashedk9 enough -especially Connor who has truly changed my life (and my dogs life) for the better. Before starting training walks with my dog who is a Malshi was a nightmare. He was extremely reactive barking , lunging and making so much noise everytime we saw another dog. I dreaded taking him out and honestly felt hopeless. From the very first session , Connor made me feel welcome at ease and completely understood. His unbelievable knowledge and calm ,confident approach gave me hope again. In just 6 weeks, the transformation has been incredible. My dog is calmer , more focused and for the first time in 18 months I'm actually enjoying going on walks. The progress we've made I didn't think was possible, and my only regret is not booking with unleashedk9 sooner. If you're struggling with a reactive dog then I cannot recommend Connor and the team enough.
⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Absolutely Life-Changing Training! I can’t say enough good things about Connor at Unleashed K9. He has completely transformed my Rottweiler, Bomber. He was a very nervous puppy and was worried this would lead to reactivity , but with Connor’s guidance, he’s now focused, obedient, and an absolute joy to be around. Connor’s approach is calm, confident, and incredibly effective. He understands dogs on a whole different level and tailors the training to both the dog’s personality and the owner’s needs. I really appreciated how he explained not just what to do, but why—so I felt confident continuing the work at home. Bomber now walks politely on and off leash, listens to commands even with distractions, and is so much more relaxed overall. I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and strangers on how well-behaved he is—it’s all thanks to Connor’s expertise and patience. Anybody who owns a Rottweiler knows this is a massive compliment. If you want a trainer who truly cares about your dog and gets real results, I highly recommend Connor at Unleashed K9. Bomber and I couldn’t be happier

Brought our dog for a one hour soft play session and she absolutely loved it! Drew took care of us throughout from a warm welcome and got us a drink, and a special puppachino for the doggo! He checked on us regularly and we had such a good time we'll be back again :)
We attended our first puppy class last night and it was absolutely fantastic! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the facility is basically a doggy heaven, full of fun and treats. Can't wait for next week.
Drew was a fantastic host, our dogs absolutely loved their time, we will definitely visit again!
Amazing soft play for the dogs! They absolutely loved it, Drew was waiting for us early morning to greet us with some pupochinos! Will definitely be coming back!:)

Daniel certainly knows his stuff. My reactive Tibetan Terrier Elliott, has made significant progress as a result of great guidance, sticking to the homework activities and techniques we were trained by Daniel to use and being consistent with these methods. Even though our training sessions have now ended, I will still implement the training methods for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel. 👍🏼
Contacted Daniel to work on our golden retrievers recall and general outdoors obediences, Worked a treat he is so so much better now and with the training in place for us to carry on to set him up for life. Daniel was really friendly and explains everything well, to make sure you understand what to do and what to put in place.
We contacted Daniel for help with our 2 Shih Tzu's who were very reactive & anxious. As soon as we met he put us totally at ease and began to educate us on how we can help the dogs....His knowledge of dogs and their behaviours is vast yet he communicated it to us in a really straightforward way that was easy to understand and follow. We have seen a great improvement in our dogs behaviour since his first visit and we were amazed how being given the right education can make such a difference. We continue to work with Daniel and I would strongly recommend him as a trainer to anyone who needs help with their dogs.
I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough! My dog had been struggling with anxiety issues for quite some time—nervous on walks, hesitant around people, and generally on edge in new environments. After trying a few things on our own with limited success, we reached out to Daniel for help, and I’m so glad I did! From the very first session, Daniel was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly intuitive with my dog’s needs. He took the time to understand not just the behavior, but the root causes behind it. His calm demeanour and clear, positive approach helped build trust right away. Over the course of our sessions, we saw a transformation. My dog is now much more confident and relaxed. Daniel gave us practical tools and techniques that we could apply daily, and he always made sure I felt supported and informed throughout the process. If your dog is dealing with anxiety or any behavioral issues, Daniel is the person to call. He truly cares about the dogs he works with and is committed to helping them thrive. Thank you, Daniel, for making such a positive difference in our lives!
Daniel helped me with my 2 year old rescue dog Bruce who was so nervous when he was outside. this was due to him being abused and kept in kennels for most of his life. Due to his nervousness he would not go further than the road I live in and would try to get to other dogs to see them. He never bit the other dogs he just wanted to say hello, Daniel said he was frustrated. Slowly Daniel helped me get him confident in my road and then to go out into the wider area. He is not perfect as he still tries to get to other dogs but he is a lot better and getting more confident every day. Without Daniel I am not sure I would have had the confidence myself to take Bruce outside. Thank you Daniel from me and Bruce who now has a bigger world x
