Cap the Rehomed Collie
I recently re-homed an ex-working collie. I contacted Mitchell as I needed help adjusting my dog from a working to a pet home and helping with separation anxiety.
Mitchell is kind and patient with dogs and owners. He teaches you to understand and reduce your dog's stress pattern. This is such a useful approach.
My dog initially panicked if left for more than a few minutes. He is now comfortable if I leave the house for increasing periods of time.
I recommend Mitchell for anyone struggling with behavioural issues in dogs.

Pippa the Rottweiler/Presa Canario Cross
We had a really positive experience working with this trainer and would highly recommend him to anyone, especially those with more sensitive or reactive dogs.
Our dog can be quite nervous in new situations and would often struggle to check in with us, instead reacting by fixating, pulling, freezing, and occasionally lunging or barking. One of our main goals was to help her become more comfortable around new people so we could confidently introduce her to others, have people check in on her when we’re away, and ultimately feel at ease leaving her in someone else’s care.
From the start, he showed a great understanding of her temperament and worked with both her and us in a calm, structured, and supportive way. He didn’t just focus on her behaviour, but also helped us understand how to read her signals and respond in a way that builds her confidence.
He taught us practical techniques to help her stay relaxed, disengage from things she’s unsure about, and check in with us more consistently. We’ve seen a real improvement in her ability to handle unfamiliar situations, people, and even interactions like walks and play with others.
As she is a large guarding breed, it was really important for us to find someone experienced and confident with this type of dog—and he absolutely delivered. His approach was professional, knowledgeable, and tailored to her specific needs.
Thanks to his help, we feel much more confident in managing her behaviour and supporting her as she continues to improve. We’re very grateful for the progress she’s made and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Reg, Mouse & Scooby the Jack Russell Crosses
Mitchell, first and foremost, is a pleasure; he is personable, easy to talk to and very focused on the dogs' needs. We have a reactive rescue, and Mitchell pointed out small details that have made a huge impact, giving our dog and us more confidence to deal with the triggers that cause this; our dog is already so much happier. Mitchell also worked with my sister's dog to manage excessive barking and suggested ways to manage this and ways to manage his weight. I would recommend him to anyone. Lovely, patient guy.

Gilbert & George, the Duelling Dachshunds
Can’t recommend Mitchell enough. He has such a wealth of knowledge about dog behaviour and a really welcoming, patient approach. Our miniature sausages were unruly when we started training but they’ve come on so much and are now noticeably better behaved on the lead and with each other. We are so pleased with their progress!

Bella & Maggie the Misbehaving Maltipoos
Mitchell is an excellent dog trainer!
He gave me the tools and advice I needed to train my dogs. Before, our walks were a nightmare - I was constantly being pulled, and they would bark at anything or anyone passing by the window.
Since following Mitchell's advice (it's only been four days!), my dogs have already started to calm down.
Walks are becoming so much more enjoyable, and I feel confident that if I keep up with his methods, my dogs will soon be a pleasure to walk.
Mitchell was very informative,patient, and not at all judgmental.
I'm so grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone needing guidance with their dogs!

Bambi the Shih Tzu Pup
Cannot recommend Mitchell enough! Called him in despair when we introduced our new puppy to our reactive shorkies and he helped us from the moment we got in contact. With his help they are now slowly getting there and finally accepting our new puppy. Nothing was ever a problem and any messages were replied to near instant. Thank you so much for your help! We are so grateful!

Freyja the Puppy Rottweiler
My Husband & I were lucky to bump into Mitchell at a Costa & got talking. We could tell he had lots of experience & our Dog, Freyja's best interests due to the way he interacted with her. We have had 2 large Rottweilers before & Freyja is our 3rd. We have had lots of Dog training experience, puppy classes & obedience group classes but due to it being over 12 years since dealing with a puppy we were a little rusty. Just 1 session with Mitchell at our home has put us on the right path to creating a happy environment for Freyja. We have already made changes & I feel less anxiety exercising her as Mitchell gave us many ways to stimulate & enrich her life by playing, scent work etc. I recommend Mitchell to anyone wanting to train their dog or after getting a new puppy. We will definitely book him again if we need any further help. Thank-you Mitchell, we really appreciate your help.

Mowanna the Husky / Malinois Cross
Absolute game changer. From the first time speaking to Mitchell, I knew Mowanna was in the best hands- fantastic change, and so quickly. Mitchell is great with dogs and treats them so kindly. He is also very patient with the owner, always reassuring and positive. Total game changer. Will 100% be back for further training, opened my eyes to how wonderful it is to have a dog at their best. If you're looking for training for your dog, don't hesitate to book Mitchell.

Mitch was very professional and his confidence helped to improve my own handling. His suggestions were straightforward but effective and he clearly understands dogs and their behaviour.
Will definitely keep in touch and use him again.

Mac & Marvin the French Bulldog Brothers
We have had a great experience working with Mitchell. Our two young dogs have had such a positive experience, and we all have learnt so much.
Mitchell has given us the tools needed, to carry on with their training.
It’s been such a positive experience, that we wouldn’t hesitate to use his training skills in the future for our dogs.
He has a great wealth of understanding, with a kind and respectful approach to his training.
It’s great to know that he is there to answer any questions or problems that we may face going forward.
Thankyou again Mitchell,
Mac and Marvin say thankyou too!

Coco the (very) Miniature Schnauzer
First time puppy owners we reached out to Mitchell to help us build a foundation to puppy training. We had an initial consultation over the phone and then able to contact Mitchell whenever we needed with any questions before our initial meeting. Our session was held at home which felt very personal to our needs. Mitchell gave us some solid advice which we have been able to continue this. The session was engaging and also allowed the kids to get involved which was a key importance for us.
Mitchell has left us with open contact and no question is ever an issue.

Ollie the Mixed Breed In His Fourth Home
Mitchell was very professional and helpful with our rescue dog. We have noticed a big difference in him after just three sessions. We would highly recommend Mitchell for any dog behavioural training.

Wolfie the Pomchi
Our training session with Wolfie was such a positive experience . Within minutes it was very clear to me what part I was playing in my dog struggling with behaviour and how we could see very real change quickly. I feel so much more positive now and am very excited to put it all into practice. Thank you so much

Ruga the Sofa Shredding Shar Pei
I have a 5 Y/O Male Sharpei, a typical pei with all the predisposition breed traits so no easy task. I mainly wanted to work on recall, socialisation and further advice to enrich his life.
Mitchell has done a fantastic job already in only a few sessions. His clear and concise instructions are easy to follow and my dog has responsed tremendously well. Highly recommend. Dont hesitate, get a session booked!
