WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY?

★★★★★

Alex Graham, South Shields

"We got in touch with Lisa as we were desperate!! Our big lad Max just wouldn't stop barking. In the house, garden and the whole way round on a walk! After trying what we thought was everything, we found Lisa and only 2 sessions in we can see a huge difference with Max and can actually enjoy going for a walk and not avoiding everyone and everything in sight. Max has quite a way to go with him being quite anxious but very impressed at how well he is doing so far. Lisa writes up a summery of everything she has gone through so you can keep going back to it to ensure your following the training correctly! It was such a pleasure to meet Lisa and we would 100% recommend!"

WE UNDERSTAND THE STRUGGLE

NORTH EAST DOG TRAINING WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH.

We know the dread that creeps in before a walk—the tight leash, the constant scanning for other dogs, the knot in your stomach when one comes into view. Living with a reactive dog can feel exhausting and isolating, especially when every walk seems to end in chaos. You’re not alone, and help is possible.

 

Every dog is different, and so is every training plan. We tailor each program to your goals and your dog’s unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our only priority is helping you reach lasting results without wasting your time or money.

 

Real training. Real progress. No pressure, no fluff—just what works.

REAL DOGS. REAL RESULTS.

A FEW MORE SUCCESS STORIES

​"When I say my dog was nuts I really mean it! Constant barking at anything and everything, walks were a nightmare and we couldnt even have my paretns over. Me and my partner genuinly thought about rehoming Tony, but then I came across Distinctive K9 and decided to give it a go. We had a 6 week program and by god what a difference. Look forward to coming home from work and taking Tony out as he walks great, comes back when called and is now able to greet dogs nicely. Hes super calm with my parents visiting now which is amazing. Can't thank Lisa enough. "

“I absolutely cannot believe how far we have come since starting sessions with Lisa only 2 weeks ago, she is full of knowledge of dog behaviours and in turn we have been able to get results very quickly with the techniques she has shown us. Thank you so much for everything so far, if anyone needs a behaviourist for their canine babies, I one hundred percent recommend Lisa - worth every single penny”. 

Donna Mordue

“My dog Cody would constantly bark at other dogs and walking him was a nightmare. I had already been to 2 other trainers previously and got no where. I found Distinctive K9 on facebook and decided to give training one more shot. We did the 4 session package and Cody is doing brilliant. We are now going to the beach daily and I no longer feel embarrassed! Really happy with Codys progress. Highly reccomend Lisa at Distinctive K9 xx”.
