EXCELLENT Based on 26 reviews Beverley Katsouris2022-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Goncalo and Sara have been a great support in the first part of our training journey of our GSD. They helped train and develop him in his core commands and as he grew into himself. We also used Sara’s walking services which is an amazing resource to be able to call upon. She helped to socialise Neo to London’s very noisy sights and sometimes frightening sounds. Their knowledge, patience and calm natures are so reassuring. Goncalo and Sara are 100% trustworthy and have a wonderful compassion and understanding of dogs. A combination which is invaluable. Malcolm Britton2022-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gonçalo was amazing in teaching us how get our dog used to alone time! He was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable ... and our dog took to him at once 🙂 As the world started opening back up from covid, we struggled to break out of our covid and covid puppy routine. We learned what was reasonable to expect from our dog, and how to work towards alone time. We're enjoying more freedom now, and our dog is enjoying happier parents! Orla Lahert2022-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience training our nervous rescue puppy with Gonçalo. He helped us to understand using positive reinforcement to overcome fear and gave us techniques to work on this over time, as well as basic training such as walking on a loose lead and advice on feeding and more. We would have had more sessions if we weren’t moving out of the area and I would recommend! Lucy Baker2022-05-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Gonçalo to help train our rescue dog. Gonçalo was fantastic, he is so friendly and knowledgeable. He had an immediate impact on our dog who was hanging on his every word, and was always so excited to see him! He taught us the value of mental games and timing, as well as the basic commands. Now we are much more confident with our dog in many situations and especially off-lead. We would not hesitate to recommend Gonçalo - thanks buddy! Susan Greville2022-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Goncalo was very helpful with my energetic bouncy puppy - would recommend him Vanessa2022-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a training session with Goncalo because our dog was getting hard to manage outside and sometimes we didn't know how to properly engage him inside. Goncalo offered training according to his needs and gave us many helpful games to tire him as well as teaching our dog how to behave well outside and that walks can be pleasant for both participants. Not only that, but we also learnt a great deal about nutrition from him and will never go back to kibble. We also booked daycare, and were very pleased with service especially as our had a health condition which limits his running and playing time (which is harder to manage because our dog always wants to play). We were sent regular updates were our dog (Kody) looked very happy, it is lovely to have someone we trust with our dog and can have peace of mind whilst our dog is with Goncalo. Highly recommend! Jose Carvalho2022-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gonçalo is really competent and made an instant connection with our puppy. He gave us clear instructions and lots of helpful advice both about training and diet for our dog. This has made a really big difference and we’re very happy with our dog’s progress so far. Would highly recommend Emily Fielding2022-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High recommend Pawsitive Tribe! We did a few different sessions with Gonçalo when we got our sausage dog puppy Hank. It made a world of difference as well as giving us the confidence in training our first dog. We went back a year later when Hank began to have reactivity issues and Gonçalo again was a huge help - so attentive and knowledgable to Hank's needs. 10/10! John Featherby2022-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gonçalo was fantastic. Great with our puppy. We had him over right at the start and he taught us the ropes. We then had him over when our dog was a little older for some training. Ian McNeill2022-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class. Gonçalo applies his expert knowledge in a very customised way, taking time to understand the animal (and the humans) involved. Training sessions were very effective - and good fun too - and gave us the opportunity to ask lots of questions about how best to integrate our rescue dog into the family.
