I can’t thank Tom & Sharne and highly recommend them enough, my 1 year old Lab which has anxiety issues and aggressive towards other dogs became unmanageable for me. After help from other trainers 1 to 1 I was getting nowhere, so I met up with Tom & Sharne. They said they could help and suggested the 3 week residential course, I knew I had to do it for Otis. They kept in touch with updates and videos with his progress, he was hard work for them to start with they had to get his trust but Sharne worked her magic. After 3 weeks I went for the handover and boy what a difference, lovely walking (not pulling) and totally engorging other dogs. He’s still very nervous out and about but I can walk him now without been dragged across the road and coming home in tears. Thanks again Tom and Sharne.

3 weeks with Vislor Dog Training and I can honestly say the positive impact this training and habit formation has had on our mini dachshund is life changing. Cooper, who's not had formal training in the past, having got him as a pup in lockdown in 2021, had started to form anxious tendencies, aggressive and protective behaviour towards other people or dogs on walks, and very territorial behaviour at home when visitors entered. This would lead to constant barking, lead pulling, and often if walking out in public around other dogs, nipping and biting, albeit not harmful as he's 30cm tall and weighs 5kg's. Sharne has totally decluttered and reprogrammed his anxious, busy mind. Giving him full clarity when walking and out in public, where his sole focus is obedience and pleasing you by following command. His temperament is drastically improved, being much calmer, at ease and evidently happier in himself. When we came to pick him up, it was clear Cooper and Sharne had formed a great bond, so we knew he'd been looked after and cared for dearly, something we had initially worried about beforehand, but Sharne has been an absolute star. We will send Cooper back to stay and follow up with more rehearsal and training when we next leave the UK for short trips, as it has been so valuable for us as a home unit, and he clearly loves his time there. 5 star, I couldn't recommend Vislor Dog Training enough!

Can't recommend Tom and Sharne, highly enough. We had tried one to one training with our dog Milo,with 2 different training companies, to no effect. Milo was pulling on the lead, he also jumped and nipped visitors. He would not listen to us at all. We did take a while to decide on the 3 week course ,we looked at the prices and were worried in case it didn't work, we needn't have worried. Tom and Sharne worked wonders with him,he is still our boy but better behaved. He settles when we have visitors and walks by my side. We couldn't have asked for more. He is also very good in his crate now,he no longer chews his bedding. We can't thank Tom and Sharne enough.

We’ve taken a few months to write a review as we wanted to see if the training was a short term fix… I can honestly say the residential training was the best decision we’ve ever made! I only wish we had found Tom and Sharne sooner. What started off as random reactivity to people and dogs at around 18 months old become so frequent that it was impossible to enjoy a walk, we had tried various trainers but just ended up avoiding more and more situations. On a daily basis we were upset and frustrated. After meeting Tom and Sharne and asking lots of questions, we decided to go ahead with the 3 week boot camp whilst we were going on holiday in Jan/Feb 22. We were kept fully updated on Rodney’s progress during his 3 week stay and we were able to enjoy our holiday too without having to worry. We actually laughed at the progress videos of him walking around busy pavements looking relaxed, saying that can’t be our dog! We had a great handover session in which we were told how to continue the training. Once home, he still had occasional days where he pushed the boundaries but for the first time we were calm and confident knowing we had the tools to deal with any bumps. From here it has just gotten better and better, to the point that we are now on holiday with him walking around a busy town and on a beach and people are commenting on what a good boy he is. We wouldn’t have dreamt of doing this 6 months ago. I couldn’t be prouder of him! We’re back to enjoying walks and holidays and we are all relaxed and happier. We can’t thank you enough!

Our 14month old GSD was a real handful both in and out of the home, we tried many trainers with no success, then we found Vislor and they’ve literally changed our lives! We booked her in for a 3 week residential course, our dog no longer barks or lunges for other dogs, she is chilled and respectful around the house and our toddler, she’s gone from zero to hero! Our dog was so highly sprung she couldn’t settle anywhere other than her crate which was heartbreaking for us. Now, with a refreshed approach on leadership she settles at home anywhere she’s allowed and happily has a snooze. I think she is so much more fulfilled because we’re able to confidently take her anywhere dogs are allowed. The handover was also excellent, Tom and Sharne gave us lots of time, patience and advice, training us to be the leaders our dog needed, setting everyone up to succeed! I cannot recommend these guys enough!
