Client feedback
"My cockapoo Bertie spent a week with Mac as he had separation issues and reactivity to other dogs. During the week I received regular updates and progress videos which was reassuring. I could see Bertie settled in well and was responding to the training. Bertie responded well to the treatment and continues to approve. Mac is very helpful and never minds answering your questions as well as providing excellent after care training advice. I would thoroughly recommend Mac to help with any of your dogs behavioural issues."
