Mick spent an hour an hour with my Labrador/German Shepherd cross. He was fantastic with him. The dog and I learnt loads in such a short space of time. Mick engaged with my dog straight away and showed me how to work him to get the best out of him. I would thoroughly recommend Mick for training and will definitely ask him to help with training again.

Mick provides a professional, punctual and reliable dog walking service.

My dog knows which day and what time Mick is coming and waits excitedly, rushes out when called, tail wagging and jumps into the car without a backward glance. He loves his woodland walks and is calm and content for the rest of the day enabling me to work without worrying about him.

Our two labs absolutely love Mick and have loads of fun when they're out with him. We trust him impeccably and know they couldn't be in safer hands. Mick's dog handling experience certainly shines through and he has worked wonders with our dogs. He gives them love, care, training where necessary, as well as plenty of exercise. We thoroughly recommend him

It is clear that Mick loves dogs and understands them and is extremely knowledgeable. Mick very quickly managed to reduce Enzo’s reactivity by rewarding and reinforcing positive behaviour. As a new (and sometimes overly anxious!) dog owner I’m learning from Mick how to be more relaxed on walks with Enzo, and how to preempt Enzo reacting. Mick is definitely helping bring out the best in Enzo. I highly recommend Mick to anyone looking for help with training or behaviour issues with their dog(s).

Mick is an integral part of my dog’s life and our routine. Since Mick has worked with us, his reliable nature, consistency with Bob’s training, kindness and advice for us humans has led to Bob (a lively young whippet) coming on leaps and bounds. Since joining Mick three times a week, Bob is more mentally stimulated, super well exercised, socialised and just happier and a lot less anxious than he was.

Bob adores Mick.

Mick is the most genuinely brilliant person who was so highly recommended to us. He built the greatest connection and trust with Bob from the get go.

I could not be happier that we found Mick.

Mick has worked absolute wonders with Basil! Although he’s still an energetic and very excitable pup (14 months), walking him is so much more enjoyable now….I no longer feel like I’m being pulled along by a team of sled-dogs! Basil’s general behavior, focus and recall is coming on in “leaps and bounds”, thanks to Mick’s wide experience of working with many different dog-breeds, with a variety of temperaments and backgrounds. A first-class dog-trainer, reliable and trustworthy, I would highly recommended him.

We have an almost 8 year old Border Collie and a 6 months old Border Collie puppy. When we started to work with Mick about 2 months ago, it was our aim to consult Mick only for our puppy to ensure we raise a balanced dog throughout the challenges of puppyhood.

Our 8 year old, although a very sweet boy, at times struggled with signs of dominance aggression and he was genuinely quite anxious.

In the past, we have looked for help and consulted multiple dog behaviourists, who were expensive and nothing but disappointing as the dog's behaviour never changed.

To be honest, we had completely given up on finding help for him.

However, Mick was interested to help us with both dogs and during the initial assessment, Mick was able to accurately diagnose our older Border Collie.

We have implemented every piece of advice given and our dog has significantly changed and in a very short amount of time. His transformation is absolutely incredible.

We will continue to work with Mick for both our dogs as he is competent, knowledgeable, results driven and a very fine human being who wants the best for you and your dog.

Mick is the perfect fit for B. Being a working breed and young B. needed that magic mix that Mick has of training, and adventure walks. No pavement and no plodding, and excellent off lead walks with reinforcement of manners that returns B. happy and tired. Always reliable and trustworthy, Mick helped so much with the adolescent behaviours, and was an excellent sounding board for early training decisions. Thank you Mick.

We’d be lost without Mick.

He has been fabulous with our new rescue who isn’t always the easiest chap.

He doesn’t just exercise the dogs he makes it super fun and sneaks in some brilliant training too.

Bill absolutely adores him! His reaction to Mick is like no other which we love (I think Mick even likes him a bit now too which we love even more).

Mick is kind, patient, accommodating, experienced, trustworthy, incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging & supportive of us as owners and fair.

We would highly recommend him although good luck getting a space because he’s so brilliant he’s super busy!
