Hi Mike. You have proved that it is definitely possible to teach an old dog new tricks! Your advice…read morehas transformed our relationship with Angel, our 11-year-old rescued Bichon. We've had her for about a year but her possessiveness over food and resources was getting much worse and we were really worried that things were not going to work out with our current family situation. After one home visit from you, we have put in place all of the advice and training measures you suggested and everything is going really well. The daily growling incidents have reduced considerably now we know how to avoid and distract. Mealtimes in particular have improved - we are putting only small amounts of food in her bowl, then putting it down after she waits and then repeating the process until she has had the whole portion. One of the key things you helped us realise, is that just because she is 11, not to let her get away with things. For example, she used to have a set route she preferred for walks, with lots of little foibles about where to cross the road and stop at certain points. We used to indulge her routines and because she is an old dog, let her do what she wanted. But now, if we want to go left and she doesn't, I stand still until she stops pulling. Then I start to move towards the way I want. If she pulls again I stop, and I do not look at her. Eventually she starts to come towards me and once we are trotting off in the new direction she is fine. Thanks again for your advice. It has made Angel a much happier little lady.

I booked and paid in advance for the 8-lesson Rottweiler Boot Camp at Dog Country Club, and…read moreunfortunately I can say it was absolutely not worth the money. At the first session, everything sounded promising. We were told the trainer would be taking two dogs at a time for a walking session each week, but this only happened once after the second lesson. It quickly became obvious that having one trainer responsible for eight dogs was far too much, and several other owners commented on this as well. By the fourth lesson, myself and three other dogs ended up with kennel cough. I fully understand that this can happen in group settings, but what I didn't expect was the complete lack of apology or concern from Dog Country Club. I had to pay another £100 for medication and a vet appointment, and still received no acknowledgment of the situation whatsoever--just a rescheduled session. When we returned, the trainer couldn't remember where we had left off (understandably), but instead of picking up where we were, we ended up repeating the same exercises all over again. I thought the lessons would progress into more advanced training, but that never happened. After completing seven sessions, I honestly feel like my dog is still the same, and I didn't see the improvement or development we were promised. What pushed me over the edge was receiving a text two days before the final lesson saying it was cancelled and replaced with a Christmas party with mixed dog breeds--and they rescheduled it without even checking whether I could attend. Even the trainer had told us in Week 1 that if your dog doesn't have solid recall or you don't feel comfortable letting them off-lead, you shouldn't attend these types of meet-ups. That's the whole reason we were in training to begin with. I told them I wasn't comfortable attending and was clearly unhappy that the final lesson was cancelled. Instead of being understanding, they simply offered two alternative dates--neither of which I could attend. Meanwhile, the owners whose dogs didn't get kennel cough received their full eight sessions, while I ended up with barely seven. I requested a refund for the final lesson since I couldn't attend a party and couldn't make the rescheduled dates. My message was ignored. I asked again--still nothing. No apology, no resolution, no refund. Overall, I cannot recommend Dog Country Club at all. Between poor communication, lack of accountability, overcrowded sessions, cancelled lessons without confirmation, and no customer care whatsoever, this experience has been incredibly disappointing. Save your money, your time. Also to add to my previous review instead of DCC taking accountability they will block you from there facebook page

We've been taking our Cockapoo here for three years and we'll be taking her for many many more years. We take her to daycare multiple times a week and she always comes back and just clonks out from a hard days play! All the staff know here and are likewise excited to see her and I've never had a single reason to suspect she is not getting the best care possible, all while staying at an great value for money. They're also just as good for the owners as the pooches, my partner and I did a Doggie First Aid course which was three hours well spent and then some, also at an incrediblly reasonable price.
