Took our XLBully to work with Big Dog Fellas, he had become a nightmare to walk. Pulling here there and everywhere. Triggered by other dogs and animals. Honestly I went here hoping for the best but expecting little. I was wrong with perseverance and some out of the box training our dog is much happier and safer on his walks as we can now take him anywhere. We are in control and setting the pace and agenda thank you so much.
Molly, our female Staffordshire Bull Terrier was snapping at our older Patterdale around food, toys etc. Mudge did a home visit and spent time observing our dogs and taught us some verbal commands and long line training. The difference was immediate! I had lost all confidence in the house and everyone, including the dogs and now so much more relaxed and happy. Can’t recommend enough, a true miracle worker!
Mudge is a gentleman, very helpful and knowledgeable. We thought our dog (2 yo red dachshund) Haggis wasn’t going to play ball but mudge had a plan b and c and we got there with Haggis. Massive improvement on walks, went from being people and dog reactive to ignoring distractions and paying attention to the handler. also working on barking in house/garden which Mudge gave us tips for. Thanks mate 👍
