This review is for the walking classes with Scott. Lovely small friendly group and it was great having the different places each time so we could experience different scenarios with our dogs. Scott was fantastic putting the owners at ease just as much as the dogs and we learnt so much from him. He was so knowledgeable in all the different breeds and spent individual time with the dogs and owners too so no one was left out and by the last session I think everyone felt far more confident. It wa...

We recently took part in the Walking Classes with Scott which were absolutely first class. These were training sessions for excitable dogs in real life environments like the Kings Park and Stirling town centre. The instruction provided was excellent and Scott was very generous with his time. Would definitely recommend and may even sign up for the next round of classes! Ella also attends daycare at SDBC which she absolutely loves. The staff are extremely dedicated to the dogs in their care an...

Excellent staff and would highly recommend! We have had two individual 1:1 training sessions with Scott and found them very helpful for our boy Tobie.

In the past we attended puppy classes and could not fault the staff and their willingness to answer questions and promote force-free training.

Albie used to be reactive to other male dogs. Now he can peacefully co-exist with them and can ignore dogs when we’re out walking thanks to Ann, Sophie and the team! We love going on group walks with everyone because Albie meets new dogs that he’s never seen before and it gives us an opportunity to practice our training in a more “real life” scenario. Cannot thank SDBC enough for helping me build this relationship with my dog where he trusts me and feels comfortable with other dogs.

Our lunatic black Labrador puppy entered our lives in February 2020 just before lockdown. The timing was terrible and socialisation a real problem. A recommendation led us to the amazing team at the Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre and we’ve never looked back. Luffy loves it. He started with puppy playgroup and now goes once a week as a day care dog (for his own benefit, not because he needs to) and for obedience classes. He loves it; we’ve both benefited enormously and have come so far. So f...
