“We have two rescue dogs, one of which was greatly damaged in his life before us. Our main issue was taking them for walks as they would react badly to other dogs. It was making walks a very stressful thing. Elliott took time to understand and explain to us the reasons for the dog’s reactions and then helped us to understand how to help them. We had some immediate results but then some more help was needed. Elliott spent time with us trying and suggesting a couple of alternatives until he found one that really makes a difference to the walks for the dogs and us. Things may not be perfect yet but they are so much better and more manageable, and we believe things will still improve more from here. Thank you so much Elliott for taking the time to listen, understand and help the whole family (dogs included) to make things better.”

“Working with Elliott has been life changing. We initially sought help at the beginning of 2023 as our puppy was approaching her adolescent phase and getting into bad habits like jumping, barking, nipping and more recently pulling on the lead. Elliott has been working with us ever since and has completely transformed our puppy into an obedient now adult dog. The bond we now have with our dog wouldn't have been achieved without his help and support.

Elliott’s approach is simple, yet effective. We received a comprehensive report after our first session, and we still refer to it a year on. Elliott has such a calm demeanour which is super important when it comes to training dogs and adapting the way they do things. He gives us honest feedback, but also praises us as owners when we have done a good job, which is so refreshing and gives us a huge confidence boost.

We continue to receive support from Elliott both via WhatsApp and face to face, and he is very quick to respond. We have recommended Elliott to a number of friends, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to many more.”

“We were in desperate need of some help with our German Shepherd called Ace who we adopted from a rescue centre when he was 18 months old. It quickly became apparent that Ace was extremely reactive around other dogs and would become very distressed - barking, lunging and struggling so much on the lead he was almost uncontrollable. Walking Ace was a challenging and stressful experience for us, but more importantly for Ace. Over the next three years we tried different training methods with several trainers and behaviourists. Ace did show some improvement in basic obedience and his interpersonal behaviour with us, but nothing helped with the core problem - his reactive behaviour. The training was mostly based on Ace being put into situations where he was asked to cope with his fears head on.

We contacted Elliott seven months ago. His approach to training is far more holistic with gentle learning curves for dogs and owners alike. After a very thorough assessment of Ace, Elliott put together a comprehensive training plan which would enable Ace to learn himself what he could choose to do in situations he found stressful. Within a short space of time, the difference in Ace's reactive behaviour has been truly remarkable. Ace can now be walked with confidence around other dogs, with reactive behaviour becoming very rare indeed. Ace thoroughly enjoys his walks now and his quality of life has improved immensely. This transformation is all down to Elliott’s expertise and his obvious love for dogs, without doubt Elliott knows how dogs think and what is needed to enhance and improve their lives. We just cannot recommend Elliott enough, he is a master of his trade.”

“Just wanted to share my experience with Elliot. I approached Elliot as I was having issues with my dog Archie being reactive to other dogs and lunging at people when out on walks. We have used other trainers in the past but was not getting anywhere. The moment Elliot walked in Archie loved him. Elliot straight away showed us how to ignore Archie when he was jumping for attention. All I can say with Elliot’s advise and training we have a very calm dog when we have visitors and his not jumping up to the table when we eat. His starting to be less reactive when we’re out on walks but that is a working progress. Elliott came out on a couple of walks and showed and explained what we should be doing. Loved Elliot’s approach on teaching us about our dogs behaviour and didn’t judge. I’m starting to feel more confident going out on our walks with Archie. Definitely recommend Elliott to anyone.”

“I can highly recommend as I have a very naughty rottweiler and she is so much better since seeing Unite Behaviour.”

“I would like to share my great experience with Elliot who recently came over to address a couple of issues with our 17 month old lab cross Pluto. Elliot has a holistic approach and an ability to connect with animals which delivers required results. Pluto had ongoing issues with jumping up at visitors and with recall when off the lead. Elliot's approach and advice helped to address these issues and get a positive result. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Unite Behaviour to other dog owners. Thank you for all your help. Katerina.”

“As a neurotic first time puppy owner I was worried I was going to get everything wrong. Elliott gave me confidence and all the tools I needed to give my Fox terrier pup Ponyo the best start in life and get good habits in place right from the start, but also not to worry if things don't go to plan. If you are even thinking about getting a puppy I would highly recommend Elliott. His knowledge and kind approach has been incredibly valuable.”

“Highly recommend Elliott for all your dog training needs. Very Knowledgeable and has a real gift with animals.”

Julia, July 2022

“Elliott is everything a behaviourist should be. He is holistic in approach, thoughtful in the creation of tailored behaviour and training plans, and most importantly, he really cares about building owner skills and promoting your dog’s progress. Would highly recommend!”
