Working Canines

Mick has a great common sense, logical approach to dog training and helped me enormously with my two dogs when he was living in the south of Scotland. I can't recommend him more highly and will not hesitate to go to him again.

My rehome 3 year old springer spaniel was let’s say head strong, no recall & a hunter ! Having attended various dog training classes with minimal success, partly due to class size I then happened upon Working Canines & Mick’s no nonsense, firm approach on a one to one basis gave me a dog that was manageable & responsive to commands.

Started off with a zoom call and Mick gave some great advice about how to establish boundaries within the house and today we had a follow up focusing on doing heel work and recall. Getting some expert advice on how to do things properly is just invaluable and we feel...
