Had a super1 hour lesson with Alistair today, he is absolutely superb putting everything into perspective and ongoing training for my young dog. Certainly recommend him.

What a difference an hour can make! Ollie, a Cocker spaniel, and our newest member of the family has been rehomed by us – this for the third time in his short six months of life. He's a clever dog and we quickly had him house trained and buddying with our black Labrador Finn, all in the six weeks since he arrived! Having lost our 13-year-old springer in the summer, it was a realisation that Ollie certainly ‘fitted’ however, whilst he is most definitely smart, certainly energetic he was evolving with some bad habits that needed addressing. Willing to learn, we turned to Alistair to train him (and ourselves) and after one lesson it is amazing to see the change in Ollie. Happy to please, responsive to the whistle and full of fun, Ollie (and us) We are certainly going to really benefit from Alistair’s wealth of knowledge. Seee you soon.

Had a lesson today with my 1 year old Lab Lucy. Would recommend Alaster as a good trainer. Just wanted to know I wasn't doing anything wrong in the development of my young dog. Learned more in an hour than anything I'd previously picked up from the Internet in the last 3 months. Thanks. Joe

thank you Alistair for seeing us at short notice.
I can't believe the difference in Brogan after just the 1 hour's lesson with you. her lead walking has been transformed at a stroke... the hand and peep tip seems to have done the trick. Also she is much more attentive to my presence when off the lead during walks.. she doesn't tear off at 100pmph like she used to. All in all I would recommend Branxholme Gundogs to anyone who just wants a better experience with their beloved pooch.. Regards Nicola & Brogan (13 month cocker)

We spent an hour with Alistair and it has transformed our lead walking and recall with Ted. We particularly appreciated that Alistair talked through our daily habits with us at length to understand our challenges. Ted has been a happier dog since. Thank you Alistair, we hope to be back for more fun soon.

Just wanted to say quick thanks for continuing the lesson today Alistair... must have both been mad to think it could possibly work but it did.. thanks to your 'estate'!.. plenty of shielded spots out of the wind and rain made it a do'er in the end. As you quite rightly said, training a dog in that weather is 10 times more difficult than it would normally be, but then again how easy it then becomes when the weather is good. Hope the next 2 lessons in the course are blessed with good days. Regards Amy & Flash
