Professional Dog Trainer & Walking Services

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Richard and I am the owner of Richard's Local Dog Training. I have been working with all manners of pups from fixing heavy, powerful leash pullers down to the cutest little puppers. I've had dogs and cats practically all my life and grew up on a farm in France. So, I know a lot about animals. Highly passionate about dogs and will go above and beyond for all doggos. I walk dogs as small as little poms to giant bully XLs and have total control using my loving leadership techniques. Dogs and I have a very strong bond and comunication that allows everyone to get along happily. I have taken a canine first aid training S and T first aid training, so I am able to deliver a safer experience with your dog. I do have my own dog called Beans who is the most loving and friendly dog. He can play super gentle with little yappers or play rough with big boys'n'girls. He understands boundaries very well and has never come across a dog he doesnt get along with. He is a cross golden retriever and labrador/saluki mix. He lives with cats and loves them. If you wish your dog/cat to be left alone, it can be arranged. However, if you'd like some training done to maybe remove some dog anxiety, fears, aggressiion and more, I'm happy to help with that too. You can find a lot more about my business by searching it on google. I always leave my customers satisfied and deliver result which dogs can clearly understand. I am a big animal lover, especially to dogs and cats. I have been taught all I know about dogs from many dog trainers around the world. I can provide all the needs for your pets and take amazing care of them. You can trust your dog(s) in the hands of a professional dog trainer with me and not have to worry about them when you are away. I provide loving leadership and fun exercises that meet all dogs needs.

Richard has been walking my beautiful pooch for the last 1.5 years. He’s reliable, calm, professional and very knowledgeable about dogs. I would not hesitate in recommending him to other dog owners.

Richard is fantastic with taking my dog for a walk, 3 times a week he will go to my house and take her out for me whilst I’m at work, he’s been a great help with making sure my dog is keeping active and has even helped me with certain training exercises I’ve never had any issues with Richard

Richards service was prompt and professional. I was away for 5 days on a trip and when I returned to my beloved dog and cat they were the happiest I’ve ever seen them. I will be using Richards services again when I go away on my next trip. 5*service.

I was walking my dog a while back, when I ran into Richard over by the local park. Didn’t pay much attention at first, however we came to cross paths on our walks, & after talking for a while It was mentioned that Richard has trained his dog - Beans, I believe was the name, since birth. I’ve never thought too much about training my dog, as she is tiny & quite calm. However, I thought it couldn’t hurt to try to see if she is adaptable to some new methods in hers/our daily lives. So I arranged for Richard to look after & train her some whilst I was away one weekend. I wasn’t expecting much once I got back, however, once I did, it was a pleasure to have Cookie, my Chihuahua, not take a shit all over the carpet as she usually does. He taught me how to get her to listen to certain words & movements, to partake in a specific action. Anyway, from that one weekend where Richard was in care of my dog, things at home have already been quite easier, & I can tell from when I see him & Beans out on the streets, how well trained they both are. Would recommend, 100%.

Safety, trust & environment

I have done training in safety for dogs and take very seriously caustions raised by owners. I understand dogs very well, so they cant catch me off guard. I understand separation anxiety and the difficulties it brings and how to treat it. I have worked with highly anxious and agressive dogs using my rehabilitation programme to help them calm down, relax and learn to deal with situations. I have done dog sitting before signing up to this app and always left my customers confident and smiling. I am happy to answer any of your questions.

Information Richard C. would like to know about your pet

Please, let me know of any issues or concerns before hand, we can arrange and plan the best outcome for your little one (or big one). Training can be arranged alongside dog walking to help the pupper improve in certain areas and became more confident and knowing with what you want.

A typical day

I usually play what the dog loves to play whether that is a game of fetch or tug. I love taking dogs through our local fields and forest. I can do training sessions too to help give them mental stimulus.
