Look at just a few of the reviews from this course:

Reading and Understanding Reactive Dogs Course.

This is an excellent course suitable for a wide audience, including pet owners, canine professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of reactive behaviour in dogs. Russell and Juliet deliver the material in an engaging and accessible manner, making complex information easy to understand.

The course is well structured, clearly presented, and rich in practical insight. The case studies were particularly informative and provided valuable real-world context.

I would highly recommend this course and would welcome the opportunity to attend further training with Russell and Juliet in the future. Justine Wright ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An incredibly well run course, full of learning with a structure designed to ensure you get the most out of it. Russell and Juliet are very knowledgeable and have a lot of experience to call upon and enjoy imparting that with the participants. They are both evidently passionate about their subject area, and coupled with their approach, they create a friendly environment where participants feel happy to ask questions, raise points and explore areas of interest to them. The course had a mixture of people on it some involved in dog training, others just getting into it and others wanting to find out more to help their own dog, and I think everyone took something from the course. The mixture of theory and practical suited my learning style and I loved the games. A very intense but thoroughly enjoyable three days - I’d forgotten how exhausting learning can be!! (although we were warned). Thank you so much.

Laura Chrysostomou ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
