Great groomers, so professional. Always do a brilliant job with our 2 dogs.

Best dog groomers in Derry. So friendly and the dogs always look fabulous.

Michael is the best groomer!! He's so patient with our big boy

Michael and his team are amazing with my 2 border terriers. The set up in stunning, very clean, bright and airy. Professional to the core. Would highly recommend any of the services this capable team have to offer.

If you are having any problems with your dog, I would really recommend contacting Austin. He is amazing. From my first phone call, he tried to get to the root of the problem. In each session he gave us simple tips and advice to practice and build on. Scooby responded so well and we could see an improvement immediately. Austin followed up each session with a phone call and was always on hand if we needed any further help. The videos and additional resources were invaluable as well. Would definitely highly recommend

Austin is an amazing dog trainer, from the first, session the change in my dog was unreal , he was so helpful with follow up advice

I have 2 pups 8 months old that I couldn't walk together because they pulled so much they are large breeds, it became a chore to walk them so I contacted rascals school for dogs and came to meet Austin with one of pups and by the end of the first hour I seen a massive change in the next session I brought the other pup and the same a massive change by the end of the 3rd session with the 2 of them my pups are now walking properly on the leads I am now able to walk them together it's made a massive difference to my life and the pups being able to walk them properly. Austin is a great teacher he phones to ask how it's going in between sessions, he sends videos so you don't forget things u learn in the lesson, he cares and that shows. The price is very reasonable especially compared to other trainers. I will be forever grateful to Austin for what he has taught me and my pups.

What can I say, my 1 year old Cockapoo was one spoilt dog, pulling on lead, no response to commands, listened to nothing, dreaded walking him, after my first lesson with Austin I was again able to enjoy walking my dog again, he’s like a new dog, Austin had years of knowledge and I would highly recommend him.

Austin is absolutely amazing, explains everything so clearly on how to train and shared unbelievable resources with me including videos and tools that he recommends. Before I’ve even purchased the sessions Austin would stay on the phone with me explaining so much and was easy to get in contact with him whenever I needed absolutely anything. I’ve had 4 sessions with him and you can tell he genuinely is in it from the love of dogs. 100% would recommend. Thanks from me and Phil

I can’t recommend Sharon enough. We adopted a rescue pug with reactivity issues. One session with Sharon and she was a different dog. She provided us with the tools needed to help modify her behaviour. She barely looks at a dog now and is extremely disciplined. She is the best around without a doubt. I couldn’t believe the positive change in my dog. She knows her stuff and is the best around. Really lovely person too!

We booked in with Sharon to help us fix our Australian Shepherds pretty severe reactivity to other dogs, we were having to avoid taking him out to places with lots of other dogs (which is hard in itself) we had 1 session with Sharon and immediately saw results, we had a follow up 1 month later and the difference is unbelievable. We’re now on the group walks to get him used to being nutural around other dogs on normal walks and they’re so beneficial. Sharon is down to earth and explains everything really well. She is super knowledgeable and I couldn’t recommend her more! Looking forward to more sessions!

Sharon has been working with my dog and I since we rescued him in Feb 2024. Her training and expertise has been invaluable to us - for a dog who was found as a stray and knew only the sit command, he now enjoys off leash freedom, has learnt many commands and manners. Sharon's walk and trains are a great booster for his training every fortnight. Her training methods are bullet proof and I am very pleased with the results.

So grateful for the help I received in training our very energetic golden retriever/red setter 3 year old sully! We had goal of walking more at ease (he is very stubborn) and taking him for lunch/coffees in public places. The improvement in two sessions has been amazing and best money we have spend while I have been pregnant to get him prepared! Couldn't recommend enough!

Sharon has been helping us with our Vizsla, Bruce, since he was around 12 weeks and we couldn’t recommend her enough! From puppy classes to working on specific goals, such as recall and developing his ‘off’ switch, Sharon has taught us so much and offered lots of support in between our scheduled classes. Her help is always constructive and there has never been a time when we’ve felt judged for not getting things right. We really couldn’t recommend her enough. She really is the dog whisperer!

We fostered and then adopted our dog Sasha who couldn't have been easily re-homed due to behavioural issues (suspected abuse). When we first started looking after she was fearful and quickly developed a bond with us but over the subsequent weeks we realised she was seriously both dog and people reactive. We found Kathyrn McRobb online and reached out to her for help. Kathryn helped us understand Sasha's issues, her reactivity, fearful aggression and prey drive. We discussed all options, and Kathryn wrote detailed reports for us and our vet as well as providing a comprehensive training programme. Sasha was started on medication and we implemented the training. Over the years we have kept in touch with Kathryn and benefited from her expertise on managing changes with Sasha such as moving house and introducing Sasha to house guests and more recently preparing Sasha for the arrival of our first child. With Kathryn's guidance Sasha has come really far over the years (she is almost a different dog), and we learnt the skills we needed to safely manage a dog with behavioural issues. This allowed us to give a very special dog the life she deserves and to enjoy our time together. If you have a dog with any issues, we would highly recommend Kathryn.

My dog’s behaviour has went from 0-100 with all of the help given. I cannot recommend enough, the attention to detail, the feedback and the ongoing help has been incredible.

Our vet suggested the Animal Psychology Clinic when we were having behavioural problems with our very nervous Jack Russel X. Kathryn has been amazing, after visiting our home she gave us a detailed 17 page client report setting out our dogs background history with a thorough safety and management treatment plan. We have been applying these measures for six months now and we are amazed at the positive changes in our relationship with our dog. We are so grateful to Kathryn for all the information she has given us.

Excellent service. My dog was very shut down I needed a lot of help and support which was always available. I was reassured every step of the way and was given the tools I needed to help finn and myself. Finn is now living his best life.

Kathryn came to help us with our 6 month old mad Dachshund cross puppy and she did not disappoint, she is brilliant! We read the reviews from other pup parents before we booked her and so glad we did. Not only is she an expert in her field she is a lovely warm person. Mabel loved her, and all the tips and training she gave us are really helping us. We highly recommend Kathryn, we love her!
