Don't do it. We've had a horrible experience with this company. There's lots of low level stuff…read morethat was problematic (constant lateness, over-priced for what's a one hour walk, very short notice and availability). But yesterday was the worst experience Fergus, my 18 month old, has ever had. With only a day's notice I was told by Katherine a temp that I'd never heard of before, or had ever met my dog, was going to be looking after him instead. This was too late for me to make alternative plans. That temp picked up 30 mins late, and dropped off 30 mins early. The early drop off meant I wasn't at home, and my wonderful cleaner is unfortunately scared of dogs. She calls me, and I can hear the temp shouting at her over the phone. And I can hear my cleaner saying "don't just drop his lead - the door is open - he'll run away". It takes me two minutes to come back only to see the temp dragging my poor dog, who is terrified at this point and pulling away from her. I take him and tell her there's no need to come back on Monday. She starts shouting at me and following me back up towards my home, until I tell her to stop shouting at me and I get Fergus indoors safe and sound. I spoke to Katherine about it and instead of simply apologising she got very defensive and aggressive. She then responded to my review on her FB page by saying it was Fergus' fault because he's a rescue with behavioural issues. Ferg is a rescue, but he's as good as gold. And then she says he shouldn't be part if pack walks (total rubbish - Ferg is part of two dog clubs and LOVES other dogs - he's wonderful with any and all dogs he's encountered). So if that's the case why has she taken our money and exposed the dogs in her care to my dog if he's inappropriate? She's lying, and she's incompetent. There are so many good doggy daycares and walkers that are customer-friendly, organised and really love animals (not resort to blaming them and lying to cover their mistakes). Don't use this one. Your pup is too precious to risk it. Also she deleted our Google review and pretended her business was closed. And she deleted our Facebook review (when she realised her response gave away how incompetent and untruthful she is). So she's covering her tracks in terms of reviews. Interestingly she only has a couple of positive ones going back years so... I know I'm not the first to have an issue with her.

Rocco disliked people coming close and I couldn't talk to other dog walkers or friends without him…read moregrowling, barking and lunging. He didn't like to be touched either. I put a muzzle on him because I was worried he may be a bite risk if people got too close. He was a puller and was increasingly difficult to walk him during normal times. I had a trainer previously but they did not take the time to get to know or understand Rocco and went to confront him head on in the first meeting and then took Rocco walking through a busy high street immediately. I then searched for reactive and aggressive dog trainers in London and came across Off Leash K9 and I cannot fault the experience and understanding of Andrea from the very first session. Andrea is non judgemental. His aim in the first session was to build rapport and try to identify the problem. As soon as Andrea met Rocco we were walking straight towards him and Andrea was very quick to identify the reactivity being fear based and guarding. He asked me to circle him a few times from a distance with each circle reducing until I was able to stand next to him quite close and this was probably the closest I had stood next to anyone for a while! Andrea's calming demeanour even with the barking and lunging, the expert knowledge and understanding of dogs behaviour and the teaching for human owners on how to handle their own dogs is out of this world. From the very first session I felt at ease and educated. Andrea told me that Rocco was guarding me hence the lunging and barking at people he didn't know coming near, in addition he was quick to identify the dog equipment I was using was not helping the situation and as soon as we switched from harness to slip lead and how to actually use them properly I felt immediately able to handle him much better. He also taught me how to be continually engaged with Rocco more and how to teach him new tricks through the use of food and objects he liked. Andrea also introduced Rocco to a very well behaved and chilled dog which helped relax him and give him confidence. He walked and interacted very well off leash with the other dog which goes to show again that Andrea knows his stuff and really understands the dogs needs. Rocco had not been off leash for a few months as his behaviour seemed to have changed as he transitioned into his teenage phase so I was quite nervous. Towards the end of our 8 week session Rocco was able to have his muzzle off in the park running around, being much happier and fulfilled and you can see the difference in him. No one outside my immediate family has ever been able to touch or play with Rocco and whilst I was always scared he could potentially bite Andrea who is not phased by the prospect of being bitten Rocco allowed him to hold his paw, stroke his head, have his hand near and in his mouth which I was absolutely amazed by! Rocco even listened to just Andrea on a new command towards the end of our last few sessions as they clearly had built a fantastic bond. Fast forward a week later Rocco was great at it with me and my sister commanding him. Practicing what you are taught by Andrea is really important as you cannot expect your dog to have the behaviour without the practice. You can tell Andrea is passionate about his profession and is highly experienced with dealing with dog behaviour. This is evident through his attitude and determination to help not only the dog but you as an owner. He will also explain the reasons why you should or shouldn't do something which is really insightful and some trainers may not give you this. Andrea is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns you have outside of your lessons. I highly recommend anyone in North London or wider boroughs who has any dog behaviour issues to please ask for Andrea through OffLeash K9. You will be walking away from each session with something new and a much better understanding and handling of your own dog. Andrea is a huge asset to this company and I would recommend other dog trainers to learn from him! He is the ultimate dog whisperer!

I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for a reasonably priced practice which provides superior healthcare for your furry friend! Highbury village vet has always provided exceptional care for our little dog. This practice, as well as the 24-hour village vet hospital, have helped us so many times. They not only excel at routine care (such as dental cleaning which my dog has had at this location), they also have given me assistance and support when my pet had emergency health issues. Just last week, they fit us in at the last minute on a Friday evening when I came home and discovered that my pet had seriously injured himself. The initial care which he obtained at Village Vet was invaluable in giving him the best chance at recovery and allowing me to safely transport him. I don't know what I would have done without the assistance of everyone at the Highbury location. They were kind enough to help us when we had nowhere else to turn; reinforcing yet again, how much they care about me and my pet.
