Southend Dog Training Reviews 

Communication from day 1 superb by Gemma , understood what we needed and showed real interest in us

Aaron we couldn’t of asked for a better trainer , professional, knowledgeable and superb with us and our dog

I could not recommend Southend Dog training highly enough , especially Aaron who was absolutely fantastic .

Excellent help and guidance, thoroughly went through everything with me and everything that I need to do going forward, I will definitely be back in a few months to go through what I have done and to learn more

For the past few months I’ve been following you on social media, and I’ve read Books 1 and 2. I just wanted to say thank you.
Your professional, effective, no-nonsense approach and clear dedication really stand out. My Boxer pup is now 9 months old, and your training methods, videos, and online advice have been absolutely invaluable.
Thank you for making such a positive difference — it’s genuinely appreciated.

We are incredibly thankful for having a dog who is a joy to walk on a leash. His recall skills are excellent, and his reactivity has significantly diminished. We plan to continue with the training and will reach out to you if further assistance is needed. The seminar on attention and reactivity truly transformed our experience. Thanks so much!

We had a training session with Aaron today for our 15 month Rottweiler. Aaron was very knowledgeable and really took the time to explain everything in detail and how to proceed with her training. Highly rate SDT, the booking was easy, good instructions and would definitely use again if the need arises.

Aaron Rogers & Hank were exactly what I needed.
In fact everything... The initial consultation through to the reassurance offered when saying goodbye came from people that genuinely care. Im very happy with what was observed, suggested & reassuringly demonstrated to both me & my dog.

Respect SDT,

The knowledge and guidance given was amazing.

Aaron was brilliant handled both our akitas differently in the same session dealing with all different aspects of problem from both our akitas. We both came away with alot more knowledge and confidence in all aspects off handling our dogs.

Highly recommend.

I had a 1 hour zoom meeting with Adam to discuss my 11 year old Jack Russell X Chihuahua mix's reactivity and separation anxiety. I had adopted him from an animal shelter in the US 5 years ago and felt like nothing worked for us. Adam was empathetic and smart, giving us easy, actionable changes to make. No complicated training sessions and lots of understanding when I needed clarification on Adam's advice. I could have talked to Adam for hours! Even within the first 24 hours we've all adjusted to a new way of doing things at home and out in the world. It will take time for our dog to fully conquer his anxiety, but we finally feel confident that we're on the right path.

My session with Aaron today brilliant. Really friendly and made us feel very comfortable and felt we could ask anything at all. I definitely learnt a few things, very informative yes highly recommend SDT xx

Adam's guidance has been incredibly beneficial, once more, in helping me manage my EBT challenges. I left with a constructive outcome and am committed to applying what I've learned. Big thanks, Carol.

Gratefully we have one dog who is lovely to walk on the lead, recall is on point and reactivity has almost gone, will keep up with the training and come back to you if we need more help, the art of attention and reactivity seminar were game changer for us. THANK YOU 😀

Aaron was so friendly, professional and very knowledgeable!
He gave us so much insight into why my dogs Khaleesi and Rocco were reactive.
He gave us the knowledge and ability to continue their training with a better advantage. The change in their reactivity and walking was transformed in a few hours. My dogs really liked him as well which was lovely to see. We left so happy and so thankful for all the help. We are now so excited to take our dogs out in public settings. We know there is a lot of work to do, but Aaron has explained everything so well that we feel confident that they will be happier on walks and we will be more relaxed. Amazing!! And we could purchase necessary items on the day which was fantastic!!

Aaron really listened to our issues and provided clear and practical steps for us to take forwards with our dog. We left the session with a lot more confidence in how to handle tricky situations. It was money and time very well spent.

Lola took to Aaron immediately, he was calm and assertive with her, I could feel she was very relaxed with him. Seeing as Lola has a very aggressive nature towards most men I was very surprised.
He showed me where I was going wrong when I have Lola on the lead, he was very informative about dogs especially Lola's breed. (Rottweiler) I would definitely recommend Southend dog training to anyone who needs advice or assistance with their dog.

Aaron was brilliant! He gave us the skills we need to move our Rottweiler to the next level. He also gave us reassurance that Bear is still trainable at 2 years and 5 months and not a lost cause.
We have confidence and a different framework to work with that suits him as a rescue that's been with us for 18 months not a rescue that has just arrived with us. We will be booking in to see him after we've implemented his advice.

We are so grateful for Sophie and the incredible work she’s done with our dog, Gus. When we first reached out, we were struggling with his walking, reactivity to other dogs, and his recall. Sophie approached every session with patience, kindness, and a deep understanding of canine behavior.

Her guidance made such a difference, Gus is now so much more relaxed on walks, his reactivity has noticeably decreased, and his recall has improved tremendously. She not only worked with Gus, but also taught us how to better understand and support him, which has made our bond even stronger.

Sophie is professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs and families she helps. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for compassionate and effective dog training support.

Aaron did a fantastic job helping me understand exactly what was happening with my boy and how to help him going forward. I was so unbelievably happy to find out my boy isn't aggressive he just needs more guidance from me to navigate situations he might not be ready for!

Had a zoom call with Adam and came away with so much information.
Felt like he understood exactly where we needed direction and gave great advice on what we needed to do to change.
We put it into practice that day and saw the changes we wanted immediately.
Thank you so much!

Thank you Aaron for today’s follow up session. You have given me so much advice, support and confidence.

Just wanted to do a quick review about the ability to compare insurance using Southend dog training link. I managed to make a decent saving on my 8 year old schnauzers policy without losing any of the benefits. It’s definitely worth using their comparison link.
