The Latest

That Neil knows his stuff is beyond doubt. It’s obvious right from his first meeting with your dog. But unlike many trainers, he also understands people. That and his generous back-up support make his training not just effective but excellent value for money.

 'We first met Neil when our very lively Springer Spaniel, Harvey; was a young puppy having been recommended by someone we knew who was finding him very helpful in training her Labrador puppy. He certainly helped to change all our lives for the better! 
Harvey immediately responded well to Neil's calm, assertive leadership which showed us just what Harvey was capable of.  We have since worked on a number of things - recall; pulling on the lead; travel sickness; discipline and nutrition and the improvement in Harvey is amazing.  Neil has always focused on coaching us to be cabable dog handlers so that we can fully enjoy Harvey's energy and exuberance and he can be a really happy dog. 
It is a fantastic thing to see someone who has truly found their vocation in life, and Neil certainly has.  We are very grateful to him for his coaching and encouragement and have already recommended him on to others we know.

'Hello my name is Frankie and I would like to say a huge thank you to Neil for helping my owners help me.  He was recommended to us and we had 3 visits training my owners how they can best look after me.  He was always patient with all of us and didn’t mind how often they contacted him for support and advice.  He taught my owners strategies to use and we practiced these in between visits.  I leave my food until instructed; I wait at the bottom of the steps before being invited in to the house.  I love my owners and I think they really enjoy my companionship....thank you Neil for EVERYTHING.   Lots of love and licks Frankie  from St Leonards'

'Neil has a talent, a real talent that I have to say I have not seen before.  He is excellent with dogs but at the same time fantastic with us (the dog owner), he will tell you exactly where you are going wrong but will give you the advice on how to correct it - what more could you ask for'

'I was desperate for help with my two female puppies who were fighting more and more, I was advised by a number of people to part with one of them.

It only took 3 visits from Neil to solve the problem altogether and even after the first visit they started to tolerate each other again.

Kennel Cough

Kennel Cough

Canine kennel cough treatment is necessary when your dog contracts kennel cough from an airborne virus or bacteria. It is one of the most common infectious diseases in dogs.

Usually several types of virus or bacteria need to be breathed in by the dog to get a case of kennel cough. Kennel cough is most commonly caused by a bacteria called bordatella bronchiseptica.

The disease effects the lining of the trachea (windpipe) causing minor irritation. Dog’s with Kennel cough tend to cough every couple of minutes throughout the day.
The disease is usually contracted where large groups of dogs are together such as a dog show or kennel.

Symptoms to look out for

A kennel cough is a very distinct cough and sounds like your dog is clearing its throat. A dog with Kennel Cough will tend to cough when engaged in activity or exercise.

Symptoms of Kennel Cough usually appear several weeks after exposure.

To diagnosis Kennel Cough your Vet may rub the larynx and see if that causes the dog to cough. If your dog expels mucus when coughing, more tests such as an x-ray will be done to see if the cough resulted in the development of pneumonia or distemper.

If the cough is severe, your dog will cough for extended periods of time and may throw up food or mucus. The colour of the mucus ranges from white to green and if this should happen please seek the advise of your Vet immediately.
