Best Behaviour K9 Description

Neil Losada is the owner, principal trainer and behaviour consultant for BestBehaviourK9.

He has owned dogs of various breeds for most of his life and always enjoyed the usual aspects of pet dog training. However he began studying canine behaviour in earnest when he began working a German Shepherd Dog, Mac, who had aggressive tendencies.

Neil learned how to read and understand dog behaviour, successfully integrating Mac into his family and working him until retirement. Impressed by Neil’s methods, friends asked him for assistance dealing with their own training and behavioural needs. Word spread and demand for his help grew so much that he decided to offer his services to everyone.

Neil’s professional experience spans over 11 years, during which, he has raised, trained and worked Police Dogs in a number of disciplines; including obedience, agility, protection work, tracking and searching for property and people. He has competed at numerous regional competitions and twice at the highest level in the UK National Police Dog trials of 2009 and 2010. Neil has also successfully competed, organised and judged at a number of civilian and Service Dog competitions. He has trained dogs for film and television, most recently; X-men First Class.

Neil is a Home Office accredited trainer, he holds a City and Guilds qualification in teaching and an NVQ Level 3 in Customer Care. . He is a member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers, the British Police and Service Canine Association and an accredited trainer and assessor with the National Association of Security Dog Users. As a Master Trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers, Neil is also featured on their website.

Neil is well respected in Dog care /training circles, with the majority of his referrals coming from Veterinary practices and satisfied customers.

Wouldn't go anywhere else! The BBK9 team have helped us via home visits with our very troubled rescue; anxiety issues, couldn't be left, practically feral, Alice transformed into a confident well behaved pooch. We now have our puppy at classes and she loves them!

User

Would recommend these for any formal dog training or behavioural problems you may have with your forever friends. Can personally vouch that the results of any service provided is excellent as we have and will continue to use them for any training/behavioural related issues or requirements. Excellent staff very professional and courteous whilst ensuring all training is fun and stimulating for the dogs and their humans alike!!!!

User

Would fully recommend

Many thanks to Neil who came for a 121 home visit yesterday, to help us with our new pups biting and unwanted behaviour on the settee. he gave us lots of great advice which we have found a great help. we are booked in for puppy classes which we cant wait to start. Thank you best behaviour k9.

User

Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a little help with their fur babies. We have had a one to one session with Neil and in just a few hours I cannot believe the change in Molly's behaviour when out on the lead and around other dogs and people! We cannot wait to continue her training and will be sure to book her on some more courses! Fantastic! Thank you!

User

What an amazing experience this morning with the 121 tutorial at home. Thank you so much for giving me confidence and understanding behind my dogs behaviour and more importantly, mine! I can't wait to start implementing my training plan and being a more confident dog owner. Amazing! Highly, highly recommend!

User

We're 2 weeks into puppy training Tuesday Evenings & it's great...really informative & a relaxed & friendly environment. Myself & Willow really enjoy it �

User

We have been training with Neil for the past 2 years and he has been fantastic throughout! We started obedience classes with Best Behaviour K9 for our rescued German Shepherd in 2015 based on a recommendation from the German Shepherd Rescue Charity.



Initially we had a lot of behavioural issues with our dog and it is such a pleasure to see the incredible improvements since beginning our training with Neil. We also had Neil out for a home visit and he sat down and listened to all the issues we had and taught us how to address each issue step by step.



We started agility classes this year and our boy has absolutely loved it! He gets a great work out both mentally and physically and finally gives us some peace and quiet on a Sunday night!



Neil has a great personality and an excellent way of making you think around any problems you stumble across during your training. We have thoroughly enjoyed both obedience and agility classes and I'm confident our now (fairly) well mannered dog has too!!



I have already recommended Neil and Best Behaviour K9 to friends and family and will continue to do so in the future!

User

We had Neil come round to help our rescue dog be less responsive and excitable around other dogs whilst on walks and become more relaxed at home, we have been using our training plan for a little over a week now and the change we have seen so far is brilliant

User

Very knowledgable trainers! Very informative and their training methods used really make sense, well explained so therefore easy to understand and apply. Classes not too big in size either. Training arena lovely and clean, very well maintained. Would definitely recommend ��

User

Some of the best people to help train your pet the classes are great run but you learn so much not just about your pet but about your self so looking forward to more classes thank you so much x

User

Recently completed the puppy course and have now started the next stage course with my puppy Isla...best thing we've done...all the training ideas I Googled failed miserably but these classes and their BRILLIANT training techniques worked IMMEDIATELY...strongly recommend these classes ���

User

On our second course of training now, can’t say enough how informative and professional the service is! Thankyou x

User

Neil visited our home yesterday to help and teach us how to manage our dog Minnie’s behaviour towards other dogs walking by our property. Brilliant advice and techniques given to us. We started soon after Neil left and are getting positive results already �. Thank you so much Neil. We will carry on following your advise and instructions and we are sure we will succeed xx

User

Neil is giving us exceptional help with our rescue english bull terrier, a long road but we learn more to help our dog with every session...cannot recommend this place enough...brilliant.

User

Neil is brilliant. He was with us and our shihtzu for 3 hours and we could already tell a difference with the dog when he left. To say we were reluctant to get a behaviourist, it's the beat choice we ever made. Can't wait to see how much our dog improves over the next few weeks once we have the training pack. Best money we ever spent! Thank you Neil.

User

Neil has worked with Blue and us with great patience and humour. Blue initially seemed fine but then all his anxieties came out, people visiting the house, noises, strange objects, everything you could think of scares Blue. Dogs are his big thing - he doesn’t want them too close! Blue trusts a few people now and walks with his dog friends Millie, Dew, Milo, Daisie and Bertie thanks to Neil. After working with Neil and finding strategies for Blue and us, and building our confidence Blue is doing great. He is still very anxious and frightened of the world, especially snowmen � yes snowmen and big blow up Santa’s but he trusts us much more to protect him and take a lead. We have a way to go with our own confidence but with Neil, Ian and Claire we will get there. A huge thank you Best Behaviour K9 you are brilliant thank you for being there. Thank you from Blue too. Xx

User

Luna the labrador has just finished the first puppy training. We loved it and will definitely be booking on for the next set. Thank you very much �� xxx

User

Luka has become a fantastic dog with the foundation training from Best Behaviour K9

User

Just finished the rookie training course with my 9 month old puppy we have learnt so much over the past 6 weeks we have been given fantastic advice from fantastic tutors it's been fun aswell thanks to all at best behaviour k9

User

Just finished my puppy course and from day one saw a great difference in my dog. Now at the end she is very well behaved and the training was really great. I can't wait to start the next course. A massive thanks to Neil, Sam and the rest of the team for great training and also the explanations behind doing training a certain way. It all makes sense and works like a charm.



I would definitely recommend BBK9 to anyone and everyone

User

Just finished 6 week puppy course and it's been great. All the staff were very knowledgable and clearly love dogs. It was very well organised all the dogs in my class worked great together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BBK9 to anyone looking for a good training school. We have a good grounding now to keep moving forward with our dog and may even sign up for the next level!! 🐶👍🏻

User

I would recommend K9 to anyone experiencing difficulties with understanding their doggie companions. Neil's expertise and advice really does work! I just want to say a massive thank you!! I can't wait until our next walk.

User

I just want to say a massive thanks to Neil and Claire, they came to my home on Thursday 10th to do a home assessment on my dog Lexi, I'm not going to go into massive details but I just want to say thanks we're only really on the first days full training and I can already see a massive difference in her, less growling, she is now barking at the door, she walks better on the lead and barley reacts if she sees another dog, I am so happy with her progress and I can't wait to see what the next couple of weeks will bring. So thank u so much for your advice and time 100% worth it. ��

User

I could have cried at the end of our first session. Our badly behaved Jack Russell had his first session yesterday and I can't believe the transformation. Being taught how to cope with him around other dogs is amazing. Five years of anxieties and lack of correct knowledge had made walks almost impossible and traumatic. One session has boosted our confidence. Looking forward to the next one and continued improvement. I'm so proud that our little one can be helped and I almost welled up at his good behaviour. Would definitely recommend!!

User

Having Neil visit our home to help with my rescue jack Russell cross was worth every penny!! He explains dog communication really simply and after I have adapted the way I communicate with my dogs has had massive impact already! My jackrusell always chased cars, now he walks to the heel! I can't believe it! He got really stressed when visitors came to our home, leading to unwanted behaviours, now I know how to best deal with this to help him eventually relax!There is still work to do with him but hopefully following the training plan we will get there!



If you are in two minds to book Neil for unwanted behaviours, go for it, my only regret is I did not book him sooner!

User

Has our first session yesterday, a 121 with Ian, we were blown away by his knowledge and understanding of dogs. We learnt so much about why Nero acts like he does, and lots of tips to try to sort it.



Nero is a nervous rescue German Shepherd and not very people friendly just yet, but Ian soon had him by his side being stroked, we were amazed.



Huge thank you from me and Steve, we will continue his journey with BBK9 hopefully with a suitable course now. Regards. Tracy & Steve.

User

Had the pleasure of meeting Neil today. He came to meet my Bullmastiff - Angus. The information he gave us was very clear and easy to understand for us. Everything totally made sense and was worth every penny! I recommend Best Behaviour K9 to anyone who needs help or training with their loved ones. Awesome work!

User

Had a great 1:1 session with my 7 month old Lhasa Apso puppy Frankie today. Sam the trainer was great she showed us lots of training methods to take hope which we are already putting into place.. Also received some helpful & useful advice from both Sam & Neil.

I would definitely recommend Best Behaviour K9 to any dog lover...

Many Thanks Sam & Frankie Frost ��

User

Had a 1-2-1 with Neil yesterday to sort out Luna’s responsive behaviour and barking. Very patient and showed me how to better cope and amend her behaviour. She will soon be more confident In herself and enjoy our outings more . Fantastic training for dog and owner! Thank you

User

Fantastic! Had a 1-2-1 with Neil yesterday on lead training with Bruce. Such good advice and help and you can tell Neil loves what he does :-) Neil also gave us tips on our clicker training. Took Bruce out this morning and he was great on his lead, we followed what Neil told us and it worked :-) thank you so much! Can’t wait for the puppy classes.

User

Can't thank Neil and Claire enough after a 1 to 1 session with peppa my dog who has fear aggression. Feel so much more confident already! Thanks so much Neil

User

Brilliant !!!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Neil and his team are knowledgeable, friendy and approachable. A professional service that is fun for both dog and handler and really gets results .

User

Both me and my dog loved the Rookie class. The improvement in all the dogs by the end of six weeks was massive. Would recommend to anyone.

User

Best behaviour K9 was recommended to us by a work colleague. Neil came to our house to teach us how to better control and understand our two wire haired fox terriers. Neil is so professional , polite and knowledgeable! He has a very good way of explaining how dogs tick. We noticed a difference the very same day, and by changing a very few things ourselves we have managed a massive change in our dogs! We have better quality time with them now and walking them is a pleasure! Thank you very much Neil! I can't recommend you enough!!!!!

User

Been on the rogue class with our very problematic dog, at last we now have guidance on the warning signs, and how to deal with it, as well as gaining confidence when we're in a situation. Thank you xxx

User

Absolutely loved my rookie class that's just finished so much so I've added onto the puppy class and hopefully after that be able to a deputy class. Fantastic trainers highly recommend ��
