Cwnsaethu Dog Behaviour and Training

“We started training with James a year and a half ago with our first Labrador, Jack (3½ years old). We had problems with recall with Jack and I was at a loss of what to do. Jack is quite a sensitive dog and James picked up on that straightaway and he gave us techniques to work on that encouraged and reassured Jack. James was very gentle and patient with Jack and he really responded to this in our training sessions and we moved onto doing lots of gundog training including a wonderful day’s session on water retrieving. We now enjoy lots of long walks off the lead and agility. James gave me the confidence I needed to go out and do all the fun things I’d always wanted to do with Jack and we’re now having a great time together. We are now gundog training with James with our younger Labrador, Angus (1½ years old). He is quite a different dog and once again James has been able to give us the exercises we need to deal with a confident dog with tons of drive! James has made the training really fun for Angus and he is improving all the time and he has just passed his Grade 2 Gundog Test. We enjoy group and 1-2-1 sessions with James which are both fun and highly informative and everyone Is very friendly and welcoming. I would (and have!) highly recommend James as a trainer for both dogs and their handlers. A massive THANK YOU to James for everything he’s done for both us and our dogs.”
