Hear from Our Happy Dog Owners

Nala has just completed her six weeks training course. You guys were great, very professional and answered all of my questions. Nala has come on so much would definitely recommend Next Level Dog Training. Thank You.

Matt is absolutely amazing at what he does and Yogi loved to see him and all the other wonderful dogs. Matt has taught me everything I needed to know about recall, obedience, K9 communication and socialisation skills around other dogs and people. I had no confidence when taking Yogi out and was going out for walks at 05:00 in the morning to avoid people and the embarrassment of him completely ignoring me. Yogi has completely changed his behaviour and has been excellent when going out for walks now, and at a normal time not early doors. Any further training that Matt offers I will be booking. Would trust Matt 100% with all of my dogs!

Really enjoyed and learnt so much from our training course, I was very nervous about taking Bear. Bear can be nervous and react negatively but now I feel so much more confident taking him out. The difference after just a few weeks we noticed at home was amazing, he is so much more engaged and will most of the time come in when called from the garden, still lots of training to do but Matt has given me the tools and guidance to know what to do. Any problem you are having Matt is happy to help and give advice on a solution. Will definitely attend any further courses and thank you Chloe for your help and guidance.
