PUPPY SCHOOL AND OBEDIENCE CLASSES

Sidney has worked miracles with Buddy our Border Collie. We were struggling with fear aggression it was impossible to walk him without an incident of barking and growling at other dogs. Sidney has helped with recall, obedience and general good manners as well as adjusting Buddy to be friendly and not scared of other dogs. We have a new dog! He happily greats other dogs, wants to play, is obedient and is happy. Thanks Sidney and team!

Kita is a 7yr old mastiff-cross rescue dog who we have had for 3months. She is a gentle giant with humans, but very aggressive towards other dogs. She had never been socialised, played with, or walked on a lead. Our daily walks were becoming very stressful and her aggression was escalating. Kita spent 1 month at Sidney's K9 Boot Camp and it has changed our lives. Her on- lead walking, heel, sit and recall are amazing. The aggression she showed to dogs has dramatically improved. We can now walk past other dogs, and Kita will look at them, but no longer lunges and growls.Sidney gives you the tools to continue doing the best for your dog going forward. Sidney's knowledge and expertise in dog behaviour and training is the best I've ever experienced and I would recommend him to anyone having issues with their dogs. Our daily walks are so enjoyable now, not only for me, but for Kita too. Thank you so much Sidney Aarons !!!!!

Sidney has been able to help us overcome some behavioural issues with our dogs. He got the ball rolling and trained us. Our pooches love him!!

There's a review on this business's page by dogman joe that is unsubstantiated by facts and appears in its construct as a vendetta against this business. The aspects of the loose claims are low grade and pathetic to say the least. Joe, if you have such a claim, and a real name not a fake persona, then why do you not talk through legitimate issues with the business rather than playing the perpetual victim, its underhanded and disgraceful. Our rescue uses this business on a weekly basis, due to their openness and factually based fair processes allowing our Dobermanns to learn properly. We have no hesitation to refer Sidney Aarons, in any context, should anyone need a reference when considering this business please don't hesitate to contact us.

Our dog Ben was a nightmare. Four weeks with Sidney and he has been a much better behaved dog. He will now sit and stay, walks on a lead better and is much calmer. Now Sidney is working on his attitude and interaction with other dogs. After us thinking he would never change we can now see his improvement and have been able to put strategies in place that make our daily walks bearable. We cant thank Sidney enough.

Sidney helped our 5 year old German Shepherd with his obedience and manners. Hunter had a brilliant time and came home with with a new found confidence. Sidney's facility is newly renovated and everything Hunter needed and more. Sidney was also very helpful at providing information to maintain his obedience and confidence moving forward. Thanks Sidney!!

Great service, informative and patient.

Our four year old boxer did four weeks board and train with fantastic results. Sidney and his team are very professional, caring, easy to talk to and generally a pleasure to work with. It is obvious when working with Sidney that he is extremely skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviour and training. I would very highly recommend Sidney Aarons to help with any dog training or behavioural issues. OK, so I put this bit up front for the people who don't like to read long reviews - the rest of the story is below. We adopted Pistachio in September last year. You can never be sure what you will get with a rescue. It turned out he was very reactive towards other dogs when out walking on the lead - lunging, growling, pulling, and very hard to hang on to. If we saw another dog coming we would dive down a side street, do an abrupt u-turn, or get out arms nearly pulled off trying to hang on to him. I believed this was an anxious, fear based reaction. Totally out of our depth as to how to handle this problem, looking around for a dog trainer to help us, we discovered Sidney Aarons. After meeting Sidney, we decided to put Pistachio in for 4 weeks board and train. During the board and train, we met weekly with Pistachio and Sidney to check on progress and do some training of us humans as well. We are extremely happy with the results. It is soooo good to be able to walk the streets without having to take evasive action every time we see a dog between us and the horizon. Pistachio also learned to walk nicely on the lead and now has an exceptional recall - when off lead, he comes back every time we call him, regardless of distraction. I am aware that this is not a set and forget thing - to keep what we've gained we will continue to train and work consistently with Pistachio. Just this morning I have taken him to one of Sidney's regular group obedience classes, this was a completely unimaginable idea prior to board and train. Given it was Pistachio's first time in this type of class environment, it took five or ten minutes to settle him, but then he relaxed and we spent 40 minutes in a class with a dozen or so other dogs, working very nicely - I never would have thought we could ever do this! This actually really inspired me and I am really looking forward to continuing these classes now. Thanks Sidney! Kind regards, Sue.

We adopted a German Shepherd puppy (Hamish) into our little family, he settled very well with us and our 1.5 year old female Finnish Lapphund (Maggie). After having Hamish for less than a fortnight we reached out to Sidney as it was clear Hamish needed to build foundations within his training and navigating the world, and we at home needed assistance as we knew we wanted to get a start on his training as soon as possible. Hamish completed 4 weeks and Maggie 3 weeks of the board and train program. Sidney and Kristine have been absolutely amazing to work with, they have both been very prompt and accomodating. I was able to visit both dogs weekly and definitely noticed improvements, each sessions allowed me to take something away and remember certain strategies and steps when communicating and anticipating their behaviour and action. When both dogs were home, I noticed wonderful changes. Maggie was calmer, focused on walks and her recall has improved. Hamish has great manners, he has amazing focus and his recall continues to impress me. Very grateful to have come across Sidney and Kristine, thank you for your time, your patience and for providing insight and tools to teach us as owners. I have no doubt that I will be booking both dogs in with you for future training. Kind Regards, Grace
