Today we met for the first time with Garry for assessment and to set up a plan for Demo's training. Garry was absolutely amazing guy - calm, caring and confident trainer - exactly what you'd expect from this highly rated place. First impression - that's the right place we come for advice. We're very excited and looking forward for our boy's "transformation", which shockingly already happened in the first encounter. We strongly believe it'll change our and most importantly Demo's life for better. Thank you for being so caring and friendly.

We cannot thank Next Level Dog Training enough for what they have done for Bear and for us. Before his residential training, Bear was reactive to people and animals, pulling, lunging and barking on walks. We had reached the point where walks were incredibly stressful, and we were relying on private fields just to give him a safe and enjoyable place to exercise.
Since his training which was in April 2026, our lives have completely changed. They didn't just train Bear — they taught us about confidence, leadership, consistency and, most importantly, how to understand Bear and his breed (Working Line German Shepherd) and meet his needs properly.
Bear is now able to walk past animals and livestock without reacting, and we have the confidence to take him places we never would have dreamed of before. He has travelled through France and Spain with us, stayed at campsites, visited beaches and restaurants, and handled so many new environments brilliantly.
We also recently had family visiting from abroad, taking our household from 3 people to 10, including four children Bear had never met. The two youngest were initially terrified of dogs, but over the three weeks Bear built such a lovely relationship with them that they eventually went from being scared to feeding him by hand.
We are incredibly proud of the dog Bear has become. He no longer needs a muzzle or to be covered in different pieces of equipment just to go for a walk. We now have so much more confidence and control with simply his collar and lead, and most importantly, Bear gets to enjoy life with us.
We deliberately waited before writing this review because we wanted to genuinely put the training into practice and give an honest account of how things have been. It has been worth every single penny.
Thank you for changing Bear’s life, but also for changing ours. We will be forever grateful.

I had residential training for my almost 2 year old GSD Enzo, honestly life savers. His main issues being reactivity to people and no loose lead walking. I was kept updated on his progress throughout with pictures and videos. And had a very thorough handover going over how to continue the training and afterwards a detailed message to explain everything. Any issues we’ve had afterwards I’ve been able to message and they’re quick with detailed feedback. Has made a huge difference in behaviour and I would 100% recommend for anyone with similar issues.

Residential Training for our Border Collie was highly effective and worth every single penny, The amazing team are incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Following an honest assessment they set to work on a stressed Ted in a sensible way that worked for him and as a result, for us too. Improving lives of dogs and owners are at the heart of all they do. I can’t recommend Next Level Dog Training highly enough! Thanks Kensa and Ron and all the team. Ted is missing you!

Excellent 1-2-1 training. Booked a 10 week course, even after 3 weeks my GSD is a lot more controlled on the lead. (making the walk more enjoyable and less stressful for me) He is a lot less reactive to cats and birds when out walking. He is also starting to be more confident around other people and dogs. Looking forwards to rest of course and watching my GSD develop into a confident and social dog.

It's hard to write this review as no words seem to cover just how amazing the team at Next Level Dog Training are. Our dog Bodhi went to stay with them for 4 weeks as he was reactive towards other dogs after being attacked on several occasions.
From the very first contact with Ron, I had such a good feeling about them. Ron explained why Bodhi was acting the way he was and explained the process and what the training would entail.
Bodhi's main trainer was Kelsa. We were kept up to date with plenty of photos and videos of Bodhi and his progress. We could clearly see the progress he had made and just how happy he was. Picking him up after the 4 weeks we had a session with Kelsa explaining and showing us what Bodhi had learnt during his stay. We went off site to the local park and walked past many dogs, Bodhi well and truly showing off his new skills and Kelsa showing us what to do if a reaction did occur. What was equally amazing to see was just how much Bodhi had bonded with Kelsa. Being a whippet he can be quite sensitive, but he was clearly a very happy boy!
To say Kelsa and Next Level Dog Training have changed our lives would be an understatement - I cannot believe how calm Bodhi is now. We are now able to enjoy walks and not be on constant high alert of what/who is around the corner and are now finding ourselves a little disappointed when we don't see as many dogs as we are still in awe of just how calm he now is!
Not only did Kelsea teach him to be calm around other dogs but also around wildlife. Walking past ducks, swans, birds etc now means no more lunging or barking.
Bodhi is still his usual goofy self yet with a lot more lead manners and an overall calmness when we leave the house.
I cannot thank you enough.

Since picking Frank up from his 5 week residential training he’s been an absolute pleasure to walk again. He now knows to ignore other dogs and the positive praise comes from keeping his attention on the handler.
We’ve realised today that we’ve managed to go back to the old Frank and he and ourselves enjoy going out again rather than worrying what’s around every corner.
Thanks so much to next level training and especially Chris for the time and effort they’ve put into our pooch.
If anyone is in two minds regarding the residential training… just do it, best decision we’ve made!

3 months after George's residential training just wanted to update!
I am still so pleased with the continued improvements in him (us!)
I can now take him out confident that we can enjoy our walks without me being anxious he'll become so excited he might pull me over.
He is much calmer when meeting other dogs and people and is often praised for his good behaviour.
He is calm when visitors come, and will sit rather than jump up at them. Most remark on how he has changed.
I had wondered before training if we were suited to each other, he was a re-homed dog, and very different from all my prevoius ones.
With continuing training he's proving to be much more obedient and just the companion I wanted, so thank you again!

We booked Luna for a four-week residential stay because we were really struggling with her reactivity both at home and out on walks. When we arrived, we were met by Ron, who answered all of our questions, explained everything clearly and made us feel completely at ease about leaving Luna.
Communication throughout her stay was absolutely excellent. They set up a dedicated WhatsApp group for Luna, and receiving regular updates, photos and videos gave us complete peace of mind. It was amazing to watch her confidence grow, and it made us feel involved every step of the way.
Two weeks into her stay, Luna became unwell. The team acted quickly and contacted us so we could get her to the vets for antibiotics. Thankfully, she was cleared to continue her training. What really stood out was how Matt handled the situation. He told us that if Luna hadn't been well enough to continue, we could simply rebook her four-week stay, meaning the two weeks she had already completed would effectively have been free. Even though she didn't need to leave, that offer proved they had Luna's best interests at heart.
When it came to the training itself, we genuinely cannot thank Chris enough. He has worked absolute wonders with Luna. He completely understood her sensitive, nervous nature and took the time to build her trust and confidence at her own pace. The bond she built with Chris was clear to see. Towards the end of her stay, Luna started showing some prey drive behaviours, and Chris asked if he could keep her for an extra week at no extra cost so he could continue working on this. We were incredibly grateful, and it really showed how committed he is to every dog he trains.
Since coming home, Luna is much calmer and her reactivity has improved dramatically. We are finally enjoying our walks together, she has been so well behaved at the vets and around family, which is something we never thought we'd see. Chris didn't just build Luna's confidence he built ours too, giving us the confidence, knowledge and understanding to continue her training at home. The handover session was invaluable, and the detailed training plan has made it so much easier to put everything into practice.
Unfortunately, we recently found out that Luna needs an operation, and we were worried about how this would affect her progress. After speaking to Ron, he immediately reassured us that we have their support and that we could continue our follow-up sessions once Luna was well enough. That level of ongoing care and support really means a lot and shows that their commitment doesn't end when your dog goes home.
We cannot recommend Chris, Ron, Matt and the rest of the team highly enough, especially to anyone with a nervous or reactive dog. Their professionalism, kindness and dedication has been exceptional, and it has been clear throughout that Luna's health, welfare and long-term progress have always come first. Worth every single penny. Thank you all so much.

We sent our one year old Doberman to Next Level Dog Training for one month's residential training and I can honestly say it was the best decision we have made. Chris and the team have made such a difference. We were really struggling with her behaviour, she would nip us, jump and get completely over-excited. The training has been a complete reset for her and by the time we picked her up she was a different dog. But what's really important is that when we collected her Chris went through everything, we were there for the whole morning. Not only that, the communication doesn't just stop when you drive home, we have a WhatsApp group and follow up sessions if needed. So not only is the training absolutely excellent but the follow up is amazing. We had updates through the month, pictures and videos, which was really reassuring.
Our Doberman is so much happier now that we know how to deal with her and she has boundaries and knows what is expected of her. Consistency is key and we have to continue the amazing work that Chris, Ron and the team put in place.
Cannot recommend Next Level enough, thanks so much.

Walks with Star used to result in tears. Usually from both of us. We'd done everything we thought was right, calm and neutral socialising. Lots of different places. But after a period of sickness she began to get more and more afraid of the world.
We tried a few different trainers. Spent months following advice as best we could. Spent a lot, lot of money. But overall found ourselves with little progress on the issue that actually mattered. Sure, she was amazing in a non urban area. Had a recall and a down stay that'd put many to shame. But walking down my local street? We were once trapped at home by a man painting a fence. For days.
After a stay with Next level things are back on track. Yes, she still jumps at a passing bus sometimes. But she turns right back around for a treat, gives herself a little shake and soldiers back on again. So thank you again for the understanding, for listening to our issues and giving Star the exact help she needed. For helping me not worry too much whilst she was away, and the lovely pictures. It can only get better from here!
