We have just got back home with our three girls from the pack walk. We have been attending for around 9/10 weeks now . The pack walk has helped our youngest dog to overcome some of her behavioural issues and her confidence continues to grow . Nathan Watson is always on hand with helpful advice . A great walk I highly recommend attending .

Very pleased with the puppy walk I've been taking my 10 month old miniature dachshund on over the last few months - very informative, friendly and helpful. Cannot wait to bring my new 13 week old puppy along to the next one. It's extremely important for small dogs to feel comfortable around bigger dogs and I have no doubt that she'll be safe on this walk even though she's tiny.

Very good.lovely chap and very helpful. Lots of tips and advice which we will continue with. A learning curve for both us and our dog diesel. Though nathan u could have warned me how bad buffalo horns smell my goodness it's terrible!! Xx

Taking Ruby on the Pack Walks has done her the world of good. Still a long way to go but with the socialization she gets on a Saturday morning with so many dogs and excellent people we will get the desired behavior a lot quicker.

Really enjoyed the loose lead workshop today. It was good to have a different perspective on ways to improve pulling on the lead and came away feeling that with patience and practice along with some different gear we will have a Peggy that doesn't pull like a train! Thank you :)

Nathan is wonderful! Not only does he really know his stuff, but his care for the wee beasties and the people who come with them shows. He's a man who has really found his calling. Who else would do free pack walks?! The socialisation opportunity is brilliant. I was happy to make a donation to Animals in Need at the end, I hope everyone does (it's not required).

Nathan has worked with my standard poodles on their excitable behaviour and recall, and we saw positive results immediately, he really is a miracle worker. We also attend his weekly pack walks where the dogs continue to learn to control their excitable behaviour whilst walking with other dogs, an invaluable exercise for them. I could not recommend Nathan highly enough, his approach is always with the welfare of the dog in mind, only positive, gentle training methods used, and results that are clearly visable.

Nathan came to see our Siberian Husky today and I couldn't recommend him more. We've had some real trouble with him on the lead and with reacting to other dogs and with me and my sister moving away to university this year it was really important to us that our mum could control him on a walk. Nathan offered us a lot of comfort in our fluffball's behaviour and invaluable advice as well as his wonderful lead which is life changing! We took him out again when my sister got back from university and took him to the park at prime dog walking time and he was wonderful, we can't thank him enough! X

My husband and I had some concerns regarding our 11 Month old cockapoo Remus' excitable and attention seeking behaviour. We booked a 1:1 with Nathan, the session was really informative, Nathan definitely knows his stuff! Since seeing Nathan three days ago, we have made a few subtle changes, which have had a massive impact on Remus behaviour.

Thank you Nathan - we (& Remus) can not recommend you highly enough!

Luna has recently been on the Loose Lead and Recall Workshops. I can highly recommend either of these courses as they are delivered in such a friendly, professional manner that you can't help but pick up some tips and sound advice. Now for the hard work putting it into practice!

Had our first puppy walk with our bichon frise x Ronnie ....his first real interaction with other dogs and he loved it, found Nathan to be very friendly and informative took the time to help us teach Ronnie commands. Looking forward to teaching him what we have learnt and joining the group again in 2 weeks x

Great loose leash training today. I think Sasha really enjoyed herself as well. Lot's of pointers why training in the past didn't go to well. Looking forward to give Sasha more training with Nathan.

First Puppy Walk today for my 5 month old Miniature Dachshund Peggy, I was nervous to how she would get on, but no need. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the training tips given by Nathan. Very relaxed atmosphere for all the puppies to socialise whilst learning all the time. Peggy was very nervous at first but soon was mixing very well with the other pups.

Will definitely be back, well done Nathan.

Fantastic. We have only had Lenny (1yr old) for 2 week from Animals In Need and the information and help we received from Nathan was excellent. Lenny is a clever and quick learner, but with Nathans help, only 24 hrs ago, he is learning to walk at our side and knows that we are not leaving him when we go out of the room, so less chewing. Excellent training, Superb job from Nathan and Assistant, sorry forgot her name. Very highly recommended

Fantastic loose lead training session, Skye really enjoyed herself today despite the mud (or maybe because of the mud), i have a very happy border collie who is now bathed and sleeping on the sofa with all four legs in the air. I now have some tools to continue with her training to encourage her to walk in a more relaxed way. Safe to say we had a great time. Thanks Nathan for running this session, highly recommended.

Fab service will be recommending to friends, been on both the adult dog pack walk and the puppy pack walk. Couldn't fault either the dogs and us really enjoyed it!! A massive thumbs up from us and huge paws up from 'Lucky, 'Molly' and 'Cassie' :)

Excellent loose lead training course today it was fun and informative. Beatrix had lots of fun and I noticed an immediate change by applying some very simple techniques. Looking forward to continuing these methods on our walks. I would highly recommend this course if your dog pulls at the lead. Beatrix says thank you for the treats.

Brilliant, my giddy springer loved it and we have loads of stuff to practice now. Thank you �

After several bad experiences with dog trainers I had decided not to go to a dog trainer for Audrey. But having been on both the puppy and adult group dog walks and seeing Nathan's methods I changed my mind. I am so pleased I did. The beginners training was fun and very informative. My high drive girl enjoyed every minute and our bond has been reinforced through mutual respect and gentle handling. Here's looking forward to the progressive classes.
