Posted on Debbie LiassidesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Puppy training class has been great! Our puppy was always excited to go and we have learned so much about how to train our puppy. I would highly recommend Cardiffk9training.Posted on Claire moeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my 3 year old labradoodle to Steve as she was reactive , she has improved so much and now we have lovely calm walks ...Thank you Steve !Posted on Catherine BurkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a 3 year old cockapoo called Rosie. She was so nervous and reactive to everything. She is a rescue dog from a DV relationship. I honestly thought that i would be able to take her out on a lead let alone running free over the park. I was given a contact number for Cardiff k9 training. When Steve came to my house the first time, Rosie tried to bite his feet. Then we took Rosie out on the lead. Rosie growled and people outside, she growled and went to bite other dogs. Steve came on 5 occasions and now Rosie is off lead over the park, she comes back when called and plays with other dogs. Steve is a brilliant dog trainer, if I have any problems I can just message him. My 9 year old grandson helps with training Rosie too.I would definitely recommend Cardiff k9 training. What an amazing result in only 6 weeks. Thank you so much Steve. Rosie is so much happier and less stressed.Posted on Elisabeth MoscaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved Steve’s no nonsense approach. Simple instructions, but instant results. Our 6 month golden retriever has a very strong will and even stronger pull! We gained confidence to have her off lead, her recall is so good strangers comment on it and her lead walking is so much better. All in three sessions 🙂 Highly recommend, if you feel like you’re getting conflicting advice as we were. Given us loads of confidence and a happy pup.Posted on Rhiannon HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend k9 Training enough my 8 month-old mastiff cross used to pull on walks and had poor recall, but after just a few sessions, she walks calmly by my side and her recall is phenomenal. The trainer is patient, clear, and truly dedicated. If you need a dog trainer, K9 Training is the best!Posted on Marina LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After seeing multiple behaviorists with no success, we were at a breaking point with our miniature wire-haired dachshund. We contacted Steve from K9 primarily with aggression problems. Three lessons with Steve changed everything for us. The most important thing he did wasn't just 'fixing' a behaviour; it was changing how we saw our dog. He helped us realize that Cheky isn't a 'nasty' dog and his aggression wasn't a bad character—we simply didn't understand his nature. What truly changed our lives was realizing how much Cheky loves to work that we didn’t see. Steve showed us that through training, we can actually control our dog in a way that he genuinely enjoys. Learning new commands has become the best time we spend together—it's gone from a struggle to our favorite way to bond. This trust we developed through training was a key in reducing aggression episodes. Cheky is still a dog with behavioural problems, but thanks to Steve, we are in a much better space and confidence to improve from here.Posted on Judy HuntTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So grateful to Steve for helping us manage our Cockapoos anxiety driven behaviours which have previously been treated with sedatives by our vet. Thanks to Steve Stanley’s behaviours are calmer at home and when travelling in the car. Before contacting Steve we were seriously considering re homing Stan as his behaviours lead to increased tensions within the family. We now have a greater understanding of Stans behaviour and our relationship with Stan has improved enormously and we now enjoy his company. My only regret is not having contacted Steve sooner and I highly recommend his services.Posted on Aliesha JayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend! Had 5 1:1 sessions to help with my reactive french bulldog. Learnt so many tips through these and Steve was always on hand via WhatsApp to answer any questions and help give feedback/tips after a bad walk. Over the last few months of training my dogs are so much calmer, which has meant we’re all enjoying our walks a lot more. They’re a lot more relaxed around the house too and it’s meant we can actually have people over without the dogs barking at them constantly. Thanks so much Steve!Posted on Rosie DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We attended Steve’s puppy class and would highly recommend it. Steve was friendly, knowledgeable and made both the puppies and owners feel completely at ease. The sessions gave us the structure and basics for us to then practice at home. We have seen a positive change in our little Nova’s obedience due to the essentials learnt in the class. Overall a really great experience and highly recommend anyone with a new puppy getting into Steve’s classes. We have also had a few 30 day plans from Steve and they have been so helpful in our training process with little nova. She has come such a long way with Steve’s help and knowledge. Couldn’t recommend enough.Posted on Rhys GoodfellowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing, would highly recommend. Steve was fantastic - very engaging, knowledgeable, and great with all the dogs. He made the sessions enjoyable while still teaching really useful skills we could practice at home. Over the 6 weeks we saw a big improvement in our puppy’s behaviour and obedience. We’ve been to other puppy classes before and this was by far the most effective.
