Dog Training Testimonials

We recently worked with JanB Dog Training and have come on leaps and bounds with our young, excitable, rescue St Bernard with the help of Jack. He taught us how to ensure our St understands that we are in control both inside and outside the home using various methods but also stimulating her brain and making her work treats when showing obedience. Additionally she used to pull quite badly on the lead and with a strong dog that was far from ideal, through use of a different style lead and techniques this has now mostly gone away but we continue to works on reactions to other dogs. Jack met with us in our home and out walking so really looking at working with places common to us and our surroundings which was hugely beneficial compared to other trainers artificial surroundings. Between appointments Jack kept in touch through Whatsapp and was available on there if we needed to work through anything or had questions. I cannot recommend them enough. Carol Skinner   |     |  

Great one to one training. Jack is very knowledgeable, friendly and responsible. I learned some very useful tips for obedience and command training. Definitely recommend. Wang Shiyang   |     |  

Really helpful, clear and effective dog training plan put in place straight away, already seeing results! Luke Barry   |     |  

Jack was so helpful and knowledgeable when he visited us at our home to observe us and our 2 new puppies. We’ve taken on his advice and incorporated it into our new home routine. He’s even on the end of the phone anytime of the day when we need a bit more encouragement or have any questions too! I would highly recommend having someone like Jack to help you steer in the right direction when thinking about having a fur baby added to your family! Thanks again Jack! X Nicola Hanson   |     |  

Brilliant session. Highly recommend. Jack is extremely knowledgeable and teaches in a way that is friendly, fun and allows you to learn. Jack took the time to answer all questions about any dog topic and I would certainly go back to learn more. R Fielding   |     |  

Jack was brilliant with our dog, Blu. My partner had been struggling with Blu being reactive to other dogs on walks and we had always struggled with him pulling on walks. Within an hour Jack had shown us how to address these behaviours and Blu is back to his old self with no reaction. Since the session we’ve met several other dogs on walks and Blu hasn’t even pulled towards them, just had a look and a sniff and walked on. Would highly recommend Jack. Especially to those with adolescent dogs who have forgotten their training as he’ll show you how to correct them quickly. I would add that Jack does heavily care about dogs so your furbaby is in great hands and he always looks out for the pups best interest in training! Rebecca Smith   |     |  

JanB came to work with our 3 n half year old Jack Russel and he was brilliant, he showed us some easy techniques that we could use to control his behaviour and we see so much improvement in him already. Anjali Nair   |     |  

Jack came to our house and in just 1 hour our dog Freddie was a different dog not only did he train Freddie he showed us where we were going wrong as well! Highly recommend if you are looking for any sort of training for your dog! Natalie Ayre   |     |  

Excellent trainer, spent quality time with my dog Hulk, learnt a lot, made a lot of difference. Would recommend Jack. 5 star! Baljinder Bhogal   |     |  

Jack came around today to help with my year and a half old Labrador. When we started he was pulling me everywhere and I had no control, I already saw improvements after one hour of training with Jack. It was amazing! I completely recommend his services, he’s a great dog trainer. Amandi Serena   |     |  

We have a 7 month old male French Bulldog who is great around the house and family but hates everyone else and all animals to the extent going for walks had become a problem if we met anyone and because of where we live this was unavoidable. Found JanB after some searching and decided to give them a call, so glad we did, the communication was excellent as was the booking process. We had to cancel the 1st appointment at very short notice and even this was not an issue, the trainer Jack turned up early to scout out the area so as to know where we was, knocked at the door and the dog went mental when he came in, the trainer Jake was so calm with him and us because we was as nervous as the dog lol, after a little fact finding he took us all out for a walk to the local shops. The trainer supplied us with a slip collar to try and explained very well exactly how to and how not to use it and what we had been doing wrong for the last 5 months. True to form the dog tried to attack/jump up at everybody. Once we started doing as instructed we were gob smacked on how quickly our dog got it and he was down to maybe 1 person out of 5 he was trying to get to, we are still amazed 5 days later how much of an improvement there has been with his behaviour and he now ignores most people and dogs, still a long way to go but have already booked 2 more sessions to iron out the rest of it.

Jack has been a great trainer, really patient with us and our standard poodle (Dennis). We originally contacted Jack to help with recall, but even on our first training session, Jack was happy to talk through some other behaviours we had been struggling with and give us some pointers. The best thing has been not feeling time-pressured with the training sessions – Jack doesn’t clock-watch and if we’re in the middle of an exercise with Dennis, he’s happy to take the time and see it through, which is really helpful. We get a follow up email after each session with things to work on, and Jack is contactable via WhatsApp should we have any questions. We’ve only had a couple of sessions so far but we’ve been really impressed with Jack’s approach and the results with Dennis, even this early on. Mark Hayzer   |     |  

My Dog and I had a fantastic experience with Jack. We regularly attend dog training classes, though this was our first experience of one to one training and it was a pleasurable one. Jack has a friendly and patient nature, my dog a blue staffy is a ball of energy and is excellent at lead walking when it’s just the two of us, throw another person into the equation and he starts to pull and no longer engages. Jack resolved the issue within 10 minutes. I will be using Jack’s services moving forward. On the whole I highly recommend him for his training services. A   |     |  

I have a 2 ½year old GSD she has been going to a couple of training classes each week since she was 5months old,and still having a problem with lead walking away from the training ground. I have had one session with Jack the difference is amazing he has taught me how to get her to engage with me showed me a different lead. It’s been a couple of days working the new way with her I feel more confident and she seems to think mum knows what she is doing. I am looking forward to my next session with Jack.I can’t thank him enough Norman Thomas   |     |  

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Kept checking in with us after the session and came up with lots of useful ideas. Very quick at responding and nothing is too much to ask. I was really happy with the service. Would highly recommend Hannah Dennis   |     |  

I have a 9 week old puppy who needs training! I contacted jack who was great from the start, offered help before our first session. We went through all the basics first and I was really happy with our session. He sent an email with all the information we went through and sent links to things he thinks will benefit our puppy with training. Highly recommend. Georgina Kyriacou   |     |  

Jack has been more than helpful with the sessions and support that he has provided with my two reactive and aggressive Pomeranians. With the sessions that we have had so far, my dogs have become so much less reactive and aggressive to other dogs and people. It has been so much help, having someone to talk through me each step and to give guidance along the way. It has made my life so much easier, and dog walks have become something I enjoy rather than fear! Thank you so much for what you have done, and I am looking forward to continuing work with you next week! Emilie   |     |  

We had a great session with Jack who has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Fantastic follow up as well with detailed instructions on next steps. I definitely feel like we are on track to solving a long, inset behavioural issue with our dog. Would definitely recommend. Hugo Mann   |     |  

Jack was really helpful and was able to explain a lot of reasons for our dog's behaviour. He also gave us a bunch of exercises to help with her behaviour, which was the main reason we reached out on the first place. I consider our first session very successful! Darya Dalgich   |     |  

Had our first session with Jack today. I learnt so much just in the first hour! I've gone home and hidden the toy box so we can use toys as rewards. I'm excited to put it all into practice and finally get the dog to listen to us! Emma Martin   |     |  

I called JanB for puppy training and, after 1 session, I can already see it has been a game-changer for us and our puppy! His expertise has provided us with a very comprehensive routine care and, knowing that we are doing it right, has given us such a piece of mind. I used to believe or assume things that I thought they were good for my dog in the past? So that spoiled my previous dog that badly that we both ended up experiencing anxiety issues (begging for food, stealing food off my plate , separation anxiety, complaints from neighbours, issues with sharing the sofa and the bed …) – this time I wanted to do it right . Routine care is essential in puppy training to establish good habits and promote a healthy and happy relationship between you and your furry friends. You can see other trainers on-line who offer packs of three sessions for over £150. I can tell that I have done one session so far and I have plenty to work on as there is so much to talk in 1 hours. Then you have to put things in to practise and see how things go? I highly recommend him because he knows his stuff. Aurea Ruiz Perez   |     |  

Jack is a great trainer! He taught me how to communicate better with my Staffy. I could see how my puppy was bonding with me and most of all having fun while learning. He gave me confidence and the results in hour were extraordinary. I fully recommend him! Alexandra Agudelo   |     |  

Absolutely pleased with my experience with Jack! He's incredibly responsive and truly grasped my dog's issues, providing valuable advice for improvement, so I can continue training my chi at home. Noticed positive changes after just one session and my chi's behaviour has been changed A LOT. Also I learned a lot as to how to communicate with my dog better. Thanks Jack! Dani Kim   |     |  

Jack came to help multiple different issues with our two girls and we are so happy we chose JandB. We've got guidance and next steps on how to manage and work on the behaviours we need to improve with offered support when we need it. We will definitely be booking in another session to support our journey with our large dog's excitable behaviour outside. Thank you Jack. Evie Loerns   |     |
