As Seen on Bristol TV

In 2018 we were featured on Bristol TV. Presenter Emi Horne spoke to our trainer, Matt Donovan, to find out about our high quality dog training, she even got involved taking one of our dogs round the agility course.

In the video Matt explains the key principles of our dog training are fun, friendly and positive, and the importance of understanding how dogs learn new skills through lots of positive encouragement.

​Fun Friendly Positive

​We use force-free, kind and effective reward based methods within our training as we believe these methods are not only ethical but also build a stronger bond between you and your dog.

Strengthening the bond between you & your dog

We believe in the importance of an enriched and varied lifestyle for all dogs no matter age, breed or ability. To help fulfill this, we aim to provide a wide range of enrichment activities in our specialist coaching centre, all taught through force free, reward based methods and adapted to meet the needs of each dog.

'Wow, what an experience. When you think about seeing a dog trainer you always wonder what to expect but everything Matt said made sense. It has made us see everything in a different light. Already looking forward to our next session. So much achieved from the hour session, we can do this with the help from Matt'.
'Great place to bring your dog, had a one to one with Matt - very good facility and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended'. 
'Matt makes the class fun and the venue is superb, very well organised and out of the rain!'
'I can't recommend Matt or Tam highly enough. Our boys are fast asleep now'!
'Positive, Fun and Relaxed training sessions! My dog absolutely love their agility sessions and get very excited when they see Matt and the team. Met lovely people and I honestly cannot say a bad word about South West Dog Skills'.
'First time at the giant dog agility course and wow, what an amazing afternoon. My great dane absolutely loved the stimulation and exercise. The staff were fantastic -my dog has never been so responsive and happy. Well worth travelling the 75 miles!'
'We had our first meet this week with Matt and Tam. Quite frankly I couldn't recommend them highly enough! Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. But most importantly the knowledge and advice they gave us was amazing!'
'Great fun for the dogs and humans! I cant recommend Matt's agility classes enough - he's wonderfully patient with dogs (and owners!) and has created a lovely calm environment to learn in'.
