I have a 2-3 month puppy which I have never had dogs before, Nick from UK9 helped me not only over come my own fears but helped been positive throughout the whole training, any problems I had he was over the other end of the phone to help no matter what time.
I followed strict instructions, had If not done that, I don't know how my puppy would be, the training helped so much and I recommend this to anybody to take the training, especially if your a first time puppy owner.
Without Nick, I think I would of given up but he helped me stay focused, and not to give up.
Nick my trainer your are a credit to your company, you have such wonderful personality and how you stay calm and stay focused and do this job without a flinch beats me.
I would like to thank you for the continuous support you have given me and still if I have any questions, this is what I needed and after all the training I have a happy puppy. Thank you Nick.

We hired nick because we thought Kenzo, our 5mo old pup basenji was suffering from separation anxiety. Basenjis are incredibly intelligent but equally independent/stubborn and thus difficult to train. It got to a point we were not able to leave the house (for work or otherwise) without him destroying everything in his crate, and howling up a storm in the process.

Nick was quick to identify a range of other behavioral issues that underpinned his behavior in the crate, and embarked upon an 8-week basic obedience course with us - the logic being that his separation anxiety would be resolved in the process.

The course covered everything from obedience at home including crating, sitting and staying in place to heeling in a range of different public settings and socialization with other dogs.
Nick's lessons were 1o1 (w the exception of a couple organized group socialization lessons), he was flexible on the time per our schedule and came over for the lessons, which was incredibly convenient.

We are now able to leave Kenzo alone for up to 8 hours if needed without any issues. We are comfortable taking him on outings for lunch, coffee or visiting friends, and confident in his abilities to adhere to our commands. It's a different dog, and it's only 7 months old.

We cannot possibly exaggerate the extent to which Nick has changed our lives. We are grateful to have found him and thoroughly enjoyed working with him, and for his continued availability (after the course) to advise us.

Nick has been absolutely fantastic in training our Chow Chow! Not only is he an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled dog trainer, but he's also a genuinely great person. From the moment we started working with Nick, we could see how much he cares about the dogs he trains. His patience, kindness, and positive attitude made a world of difference in our dog's behavior. Our once stubborn and independent Chow Chow has become so much more obedient and relaxed, thanks to Nick's tailored approach. The training was worth every penny, and we truly enjoyed the process. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated dog trainer!

Nick from UK9 Training is a fantastic dog trainer who I highly recommend. I found it extremely hard to find a trainer that would take on my 4-year-old English bulldog as he was a un-neutered male. Outside of the house my dog was a little unresponsive, but happy to play with other dogs and loved walks. The problems I was having were in house: he would pee on the sofa, was hard to manoeuvre around in the house, didn’t like being stepped over, would growl if woken at night, and would be possessive over toys. All of these issues are a thing of the past (although we continue to make progress to ensure that he doesn’t revert back to his old ways). His behaviour outside of the house has also improved thanks to Nick’s holistic approach. My dog is so much calmer, and seeing him reach this new level of happiness brings me so much joy. My dog now enjoys cuddling, sits calmly while we have a pub lunch, enjoys tube rides, and loves his training sessions.

Many thanks for your help.

Well, the 10 week journey is over today and I want to repeat my thanks on this comment to UK9 Training and our trainer Nick. It was a long and difficult journey, but now we’re enjoying our walks and everyday life with our 11 year old dog Chelsea better than ever before, who was showing reactive behaviour before the training. I must say, it wasn’t our dog only that trained, but ourselves too, in how to approach and direct our love and attention to our dog. Strongly recommended to anyone who has the will to train their dog and themselves. All my best!

The best dog trainer we could ever wish for! Florence, our miniature poodle puppy transformed from a bundle of energy into a well-behaved, joyful companion thanks to this incredible trainer. Most importantly he hangs out peacefully with our five year old cat 🐈 With expert techniques and a genuine love for dogs, Nikos supported us throughout this journey and made each session fun and effective. Our pup not only learned commands but also developed a strong bond with us. Highly recommend for any puppy parent seeking exceptional training!

I recently worked with Nikos from UK9 Training for my Norma, and the experience was fantastic. Nikos is friendly, easy going and he has a deep understanding of dogs behavior. Norma showed significant improvements in obedience and behavior quickly.

Nikos has the charisma making the training enjoyable for both of us (especially for Norma 🙂), if anyone is looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer I can't recommend him enough!

Nick is a wizard! Our dog is a reactive rescue, who has shown aggression towards other dogs, foxes, squirrels, etc. Nick has been able to get her attention no matter what is going on - she absolutely adores him!
We learned the hard way that dogs need strict boundaries, so we are the ones who need to be trained and he’s certainly helping us with that. We can honestly say we have a different dog! We’re very impressed and thankful to his skills. 🙌🏼
