Gun Dog Training Services Stirling

Amazing results - I cannot believe the difference after spending time with Mick. Instead of dreading our walks, it is now a sheer pleasure and to see Barney enjoy himself so much is such a joy.

Highly recommend that you seek Mick for behaviour problems with your pet.

Our 2-year-old working cocker was mental. Pulling in the lead, barking at people, barking in the house and just generally being a round pain. Since our stay with Mick and Mandy, this has all stopped, she has a new routine, and our house is a happier place with my stress levels back within the average human levels! She is back to her normal weight and is happier for it.

She now knows her place in the house, no more excessive treats or ruling the roost for her. The cottage is great too, and Mick and Mandy were fantastic hosts. Thank you for having us and for all of your help. Danny, Lucy and the new and improved Emily! X

Having just spent a training weekend at Airds Farmhouse with my 15-month-old Springer Spaniel, I would like to thank Mick for his excellent training and guidance and both him and Mandy for making me so welcome.

I have come home with new training methods and, more importantly, an understanding of how and why they work.

This is the start of a new training regime for myself and Ollie, and thanks to Mick, I am confident I will see big improvements in his behaviour before too long. Airds Farmhouse is a lovely place to stay and highly recommended!

What can I say? Well, mick is a 100 %brilliant dog/human trainer. Do what Mick advises and do the homework Mick gives; my pup is 10 months, and with Mick, as a trainer, he is now stock trained walks to heel, and his recall is brilliant, beep collar worked brilliantly with stock training as he could have easily been a dead dog with trying to round up sheep so the Beep- e collar has totally helped, and my pup will not end up being a dead dog.

Totally 100% recommend it. Feel like part of the family; a cup of coffee and chat about training make you feel more relaxed. Thank you, Mick and lovely Mandy. X x x

I’ve been concerned about why my dog, a 4-year-old GSD, was being so reactive towards other dogs. Going for walks has been a minefield, with me having to hold on for dear life whenever another dog came into view. Although we are still a Work In Progress, I can’t thank Mick enough for two very enlightening sessions.

And of course, the answer is rarely to do with training the dog - it is training the human how to be the sort of owner the dog needs and deserves! Sensible and practical advice backed up by Mick’s practical experience. Such an amazing transformation by, to coin a phrase, “taking back control.” Still, a long way to go as I put the theory into practice at home; however, such a change in how my dog reacted to Mick’s own dogs - and how much happier he appeared!

Mick patiently taught my husband and Bella the B to work together. She's still mad, but at least she's mad and comes home when called....more than I can say for the husband, LoL.
