Back to Trainer26th August 2024 - Ric Kennedy
Had the pleasure of working with Ric and our two girls, a 4 year old Bull Arab and a 3 year old kelpie. Our dogs had been having some sibling rivalry which had become too much to manage without keeping them separate. Our Bull Arab is often stubborn but was immediately Ric's best friend and listened intently to Ric's practice and training. Our Kelpie who likes attention was sitting and listening to Ric's instruction and was first time we had seen her not bother a visitor for attention. Both girls were very engaged and attentive to the training and responded very well, it was clear they were enjoying being challenged and learning. For myself and my partner, Ric was excellent in training us as well so we can continue to train our girls to so they feel happy and safe. The training style is very informative and Ric is not judgmental and very supportive, with an approach that while most dog owners do things right, we don't speak dog and we can always be better.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety
Ric was very good to deal with from start and he explained everything thoroughly on the phone prior to booking.
On visiting our home for Joeys first session, Ric explained a lot of helpful information which we are working on and it is definitely improving our dogs behaviours.
We would recommend Ric to family and friends as we are feeling a lot more confident with managing things now.
Thank you Ric😊

Ric dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We have now had 2 sessions with Ric. After only 1 session we had a brand new dog. We learnt so much that we were able to stop our dog jumping and we could walk her on the lead without being pulled over after only one session. We implement Ric’s training methods every day and we are now taking our dog out to kids sports and it’s not stressful ! Can’t wait to nail down the recall . I can highly recommend Ric!

Ric was incredibly helpful with my Great Dane puppy (4 months old) - Zeus. He has already improved so much and is listening to my commands. He also gave me so much insight into his behaviours, allowing me to understand his reactions a lot more. Very happy with the progress so far & feel a lot more confident!

We are very happy with the service so far, Rick has been very helpful and we have already seen improvement in Sam’s walking. Information was well presented and easy to follow and understand.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello, Thank you for this review, Sam is such a beautiful boy. We still have a little work to do with his barking, his progress so far is great, he is a quick learner. Remember in the meantime I'm only a phone call away if you need anything, really looking forward to seeing you all again soon in our next session.

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Rik was amazing. He went through everything and listened whenever we had any questions. He explained the benefits in a very detailed way. Turbo took to the training right away!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Paulina, Thank you for your lovely review. Turbo is a great boy, he just needed a little bit more guidance. Now you are equipped with a better understanding of how to deal with some of his behaviours, I'm sure you will start to see a more respectful and relaxed boy. He did so well during our session, I'm looking forward to our next session to see how much he has improved and how well you have applied the methods. Thank you again Kind Regards Ric

Ric was more than Amazing.
He was excellent with Saxon explained things that I understood.
His mannerism was incredible and I look forward to our next lesson.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Cathy Thank you for this lovely review, Very much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed our session and I look forward to our next session. Saxon did very well, he is such a warm soul and he picked up things very quickly, but that's because you look after him so well. Thank you again. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Ric was very patient and accommodating which I found to be invaluable during the training of my six year-old German Shepherd, Zivah. With little to no prior training from her previous owner, I found Zivah showed promise under Ric's guidance and despite having quite severe anxiety, appeared to be thoroughly enjoying his company. Ric acknowledged that Zivah has a long way to go to get her where we want her, but I found his positive attitude very motivational. While it's early days, Zivah is showing baby-step improvements and I intend to get Ric back to make sure I'm trained as best I can so that Zivah is set-up to succeed.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Jacqui, Thank you for your lovely review, as we know Zivah has developed quite a high level of anxiety coupled with some resulting behavioural issues. Stick with the exercises, you will see progress. When I come back out we will continue to move forward, Unfortunately some cases do take a little more time than others. With consistency and patience we will see great progress. You both achieved quite a lot in our first session that's a huge step forward. I am only a phone call away if you need anything. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Was a great lesson with Ric and showing us what we can do to help our dog and also help us in a way to get our dog under control with things that would set him off & what we can do to reduce the amount of anxiety our dog has when we leave home. We are still in the process of training our dog with the techniques shown and demonstrated in our lesson and fingers crossed all goes well moving forward. Our dog responded so well in the first 10 mins of Ric being there and our dog was not very inviting to visitors in our home and could see improvement as the lesson went on.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Krystal, Thank you for your review, Rocky showed a bit of fear when I first arrived as he does as you explained with all visitors but by the end of our session he was very relaxed and friendly towards me, he picked up the training very well. With what I showed you, keep up consistent training with each of the exercises, Rocky was so responsive, you will see great achievements and progress.

Hi, great result - although it is still a bit off a struggle from time to time, the training is helping with controlling Emma.
