I can’t recommend Andy at A1 Dog Training Centre enough. Bella had an amazing time training yesterday! Andy keeps the training simple and easy to follow, ensuring it’s not overwhelming for either the dog or the owner. Most importantly, he made the entire experience so much fun for Bella. It was heartwarming to see her truly enjoying herself and finally being able to behave like a “dog” without pain or anxiety.

In my opinion, even if you feel your dog doesn’t need training, Andy provides a wonderful opportunity for games, play, and learning. These activities challenge your dog to think and work, which can help strengthen the bond between you and your furry best friend.

Andy’s passion for dogs is prevalent in his work!

I’m so proud of Bella, she was at deaths door when I found her 2.5 years ago, yesterday was further testament to how love, perseverance and patience can make for the most loyal companion.

Thanks Andy.

Some of you may remember this young lady that we mentioned a while ago, a Spanish Mastiff rescue all the way from Spain that was having a few issues, well she came back to see us today to work on a few more basics & once again performed like the huge superstar that she is, once more, heading in the right direction, happy training everyone.

Had this little superstar in today, rescue pup, slightly reactive on lead & mis read by most, she's just starting her journey with us, & by the looks of things is well on her way to great things, it's always a school day for most owners, & to all those that rescue, thank you.
Happy training everyone.

Nice to have these two beauties from Humberside K9 back in today, the indomitable Juno & Hex, one an established patrol dog & the other learning the ropes & continues his journey, really nice to be a part of that 😁

Another review, Thank you Dan, really appreciated.

Having seen other trainers with our dog, we engaged with A1 Dog Training, as we'd hit a wall with what we'd learned elsewhere.

And we're so glad we did! Andy is a pleasure to work with, is an excellent communicator, and made learning fun for all of us!

We could tell that Andy is a consummate professional with a lifetime of experience and knowledge, which he was more than happy to share with us. We both left feeling more confident and reassured in our dog, and Agnes really enjoyed her afternoon out.

Since then, we've been applying what we learned, and Agnes has taken to it very well... we're already seeing results!

A little heads up to some of our security dog handler friends & clients etc... It's that time of year again, & we know that you all need to keep your dogs & yourselves warm when on duty particularly those that have to use their vehicles as offices & kennels whilst on task, it may seem obvious to some, but please be aware of the implications of using gas bottles & butane cartridges for heating, cooking & other applications, if the area size or ventilation is not sufficient, there can be a danger of carbon monoxide poisoning to your dogs & yourself, it may be wise to invest in a detector just to make sure, again, particularly for those of you that sleep on site in your vehicles when on your downtime while working away from home, not to mention that direct heat or cold on your animals while in their kennels & cages can also be hazardous, just a thought, stay safe & happy handling.

You know when youve been sat most of the day returning calls, messages & emails & all you get is, look it's me, I'm not sure you've seen me before but here I am, do you remember me, I'm looking at you just in case you forget, are you sure you really need to be doing that instead of paying me some attention! This little man makes me 🤣

Had these 3 lovelies in recently, from basic puppy stuff to building confidence & attention & other various bits & bobs, nice to be part of their journey 😁

Oh, hey up, here's another off of the back of my last post, "residential dog training", I've had a lady that had been in touch with a "trainer" in Nottingham, said he would take her dog, for a minimum of 10 weeks, at £800 per week, it would come back a different dog, YES I BET IT WOULD!! I know who it is she's talking about, & trust me, I wouldn't give him a cardboard cut out to handle, YOU DO NOT need residential training for your dog, particularly from an establishment that has unqualified people running it, training with you & your dog is for very many good reasons, use that opportunity to build a very precious & productive relationship, in most cases, you only have a dog for part of your life, a dog has you for the whole of its life, or it should have, make the most of it!

Ok... here's the thing, I've been contacted several times now over a few different, but similarly related issues. I'm not one for making videos unlike some of the other trainers who are legends in their own lunchtime, or who are considered by the ill informed to be some of the "big enchiladas" in the industry. So... some things to consider when asking for help or advice, or actually attending a training session with your dog, particularly if it involves a behaviour consultation, What are the trainers qualifications? I personally am sick & tired of those online banging on trying to baffle people with bu****it, using language & terms they think no one will understand, calling other trainers names & generally being as unprofessional as they can to get clicks & likes, ASK to see their qualifications in all matters, regardless of whether it's behaviour or training, or a specific discipline such as obedience, agility, & in particular security & protection. A good trainer won't mind, please, please also check that they are insured for the practices they use & advice they give, again, if its a specific discipline, this should also be stated on their insurance, if not, please find a different trainer, advocate for your dog! Do not allow harsh treatment or let your dog be bullied.
Hope this helps

When for whatever reason you ask for help with your dog, it is absolutely vital that you tell the truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth if you really want to help that dog, because an experienced behaviourist / trainer will be told the truth by the dog anyway!
