Janice Sargisson and Bella, the Spaniel

Bella and I have completed the puppy socialisation class and now half way through the beginners class. The classes are great fun and we have both learnt a lot.

Bella is a nervous and reactive puppy and with Russell’s knowledge, patience and guidance, this has also been an opportunity to get her better socialised in a controlled environment with other dogs. It’s great to see her improvement each week.

My young vizsla, Lara, had a course of 121 training with Russell. We both learnt a lot. Russell is kind and patient, using positive reinforcement. Highly recommend.

We have used Russel for all 4 of our dogs and his knowledge has been nothing short of invaluable, explaining things from other perspectives and helping us get the best out of all our dogs. Before Knightsbay, we had tried other dog trainers, however, they have not understood our dogs (Bavarians can be quirky at times) and were often heavy handed, doing the bare minimum. Russell goes above and beyond, is great (and patient) with ourselves and will point out in a constructive and positive way what we need to do to make things easier for both ourselves and our dogs. I would highly recommend Knightsbay and Russell to anyone who needs help and advice with their dogs (all breeds, age and sizes!!).

We went to Russell for puppy socialisation classes to start and then did the beginners and intermediate classes too. Russell was great with our dog Storm and very helpful and knowledgeable with issues with a new dog. Storm loved Russell and we enjoyed the fact the classes where fun and nothing was ever too much for him. He offered some great advice and we would always recommend him to other people.

Highly recommended dog trainer. I’ve been to both 121 and group puppy classes and they were equally as useful and we learned a wide range of techniques. Russell is very reliable and passionate about what he does. He sells a wide range of products. We’ve been buying treats from his shop and using his dog walking services for years. Our dog loves going out with him!

I have been to Russell’s ringcraft training in the past. He is very helpful and has a lovely way with the dogs and gave me confidence. I use his online shop which is great and quickly delivered. I highly recommend his services.

Russell was fantastic with our Betty in both a 1-2-1 lesson plus the 6 week beginners course.

He’s very knowledgeable, patient and personable. At the classes he offers a wide range of toys, treats and dog gear at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

So pleased with Dottie’s recall progress. Just spent 45 minutes off lead with Dexter in a busy park. Was distracted by other dogs and people but came to me every time when called using the techniques taught in our obedience classes!
