“A Changed Dog!”

★★★★★

written by MuffinsHuman on 27/08/2016

We sent our dog Muffin here for a three week training course in order to try and curb his tendency to show aggression towards other dogs. Really sending him away was a last resort as we could not imagine a scenario in which our dog would get over his aggression. Walking him around our neighbourhood became embarrassing for us, and even dangerous for other dogs.
Luckily we found Royvon in Surrey and had Muffin spend three weeks there in the care of his trainer Nake.
When we showed up today we truly thought that we were looking at another dog. From the very start Muffin was behaving like a well-trained and calm dog. From Nake's demonstrations we could see that Muffin was no longer pulling at his lead in order to attack other dogs and was no longer having his usual aggressive reaction. Then Muffin's trainer let us see the difference for ourselves and we each took Muffin around the yard, with another dog walking by us. We were amazed to find that the magic had not disappeared! Muffin continue to calmly walk past the other dog, ignoring it completely. He was even better at walking by itself, staying by our side and not wondering off or stopping suddenly. In summary, job done!
We were also very impressed with Nake's, trainer's, approach to training. He clearly had a good rapport with Muffin but he could also practically explain to us how to keep up Muffin's progress. For 2 hours we had a thorough session in which Nake explained, with practical examples, how to avoid our previous problems and also what had been causing them in the first place.
Overall we would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for dog training or long-stay daycare.
