Look at just a few of the reviews from this course:
Just attended the 'Reading and Understanding Reactive Dogs' course. Russell and Juliet really know what they're talking about. The course was so informative, and really helped open my mind to different techniques. These guys are masters at what they do. Russell uses his own dogs to show what good can look like if you put the work in. Thank you for an amazing course! Highly recommend, even if your own dog isn't reactive. Knowledge is power when you're a dog owner and there is always something to learn!
Michelle Hopkins
I have just recently completed two courses with these guys and cannot recommend them enough.
The obedience course was fantastic as was Jess and my experience with this weekends course on reactivity was exceptional.
Russell snd Juliet have created a course that’s inventive, full of education and also fun.
As someone who suffers from ADHD they dealt with my 1 million questions and constant interruptions for confirmation so well.
I know it can be annoying and whilst I'm working on that my need to confirm everything sometimes takes over.
As I go into the world of training as an eventual behaviour and training expert the courses were a fantastic addition to the things I am learning. I honestly couldn’t recommend these courses enough.
Martyn Hemming
I attended the 3 day reactive dog course. I found the course mind blowing! There is so much I have taken away with me to enable to to achieve my personal goal. Russell & Juliette are just incredible at what they do! I was nervous attending the course on my own but that soon disappeared. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well deserved and I will be back!
Tina
I've done years of dog training courses and the three day reactive course with Russell and Juliet was by far the best training I've been to, such an eye opening course I've come away feeling focused on helping many dog owners with their problems. Highly recommend to anyone interested in dogs! Loved it thank you so much was great fun as well as hugely informative.
Grace Berryman
"I attended the aggression and reactivity weekend in Portsmouth. I have been on quite a few courses of this subject but this one exceeded my expectations by miles!!! It was so fun and informative and I came away desperate to book another course with the AMCBT. I learnt so much and I cant wait to apply my new knowledge to the dogs I work with.
Thankyou so much Russell and team xx”
Lorna Joyce.
Fascinating course - very well organised, well-structured and I learned so much about different forms and causes of canine reactivity and how to address them. Russell was great at facilitating discussions and has so much experience to draw on I felt very confident in his strategies and approach. Would definitely recommend and would go again to see him work with different dogs and handlers!
Thanks so much.
Sarah Price.
Recently attended two courses with Russell. The first was his focus course which I attended with my little sheltie, Beth. It was great fun and I came away with a lot of useful ideas both for my use but also to hand on to participants in our local dog training club. The second course was about understanding and helping handlers and the issues their dogs have. Again I hope to be able to help at the club but I also have a greater understanding of the issues my granddaughter’s staffie is suffering from and I’m going to work with her. Thanks Russell for two very interesting courses delivered in your usual very listenable, positive way.

Let me start by saying I was sceptical. We adopted a Westie from the RSPCA and brought him into our home with our two Cocker Spaniels. Despite having met on several visits prior to adoption, when we got him home our Westie and male Cocker were at loggerheads. This was vicious fighting to the point that we couldn't have them in the same room together. We discussed with the RSPCA after only 12 hours of having him home and they recommended a few techniques which we followed. The Westie was incredibly aggressive with other dogs as well as our Cocker to the point where we couldn't take him out. It was incredibly stressful and was putting strain on our family. After a week we asked Russell to help us as a last ditch attempt before returning the Westie to the RSPCA as we were not coping. Within 30 minutes of Russell being in our home all three of our dogs were calm and sitting together. Russell took time to understand our concerns and gave us techniques to follow once we were on our own. After only a couple of days we were at the point where all the dogs could be consistently unleashed together in the same room. After only a week we are in a completely different place with the harmonious family we anticipated. We are not out of the woods yet and still need to keep a check on behaviour but Westie is currently attending the weekly classes run by AMCBT and is progressing well. I cannot recommend Russell enough. His knowledge and experience really worked for us and we now have three happy dogs.
