What Our Clients Say

  • Boxer dog wearing a harness in a grassy field.

    Neil & Mason

    "We have had two great sessions with Aspire, Mason my Boxer, reacted brilliantly and John was a natural with the dog and us. We have renewed enthusiasm in trying to train our dog and John has made a big difference already. We look forward to our next session."

  • Young Labrador wearing a blue harness sitting on grass

    Danelle & Winston

    “John has helped us with Winston so much already, we were worried about if we were training Winston correctly on recall and in just a few weeks this has improved so much. We are now working on jumping up and John has shown us some great techniques to help with this. I'm sure Winston will be able to greet guests with paws on the floor. What I like about all of this training is reward based with no force, John really taps in to the breed requirements and what they need to succeed”.

  • Brown and white fluffy puppy sitting on wooden floor, with a metal crate and dog bed in the background.

    Andrew & Honey

    “Honey is our first ever puppy. Having John alongside us and supporting the family in training her has been amazing. We have learnt so much and will continue to have Aspire Dog Training supporting us and Honey.”

  • Brown puppy wearing a blue harness sitting on a wooden floor.

    Craig & Barney

    “We asked John to help us with our 12 week old Labradoodle Barney. He formed an instant connection with Barney and helped us greatly with things like toilet training and how to reinforce behaviour like sit and leave. Excellent dog trainer, we couldn't recommend more highly."

  • A black and white puppy with floppy ears and a pink tongue, laying on a stone pavement underneath a green outdoor table or bench.

    Dave & Bowie

    "We worked with John to help us improve some behaviours and within a couple of sessions we saw great improvement. John cares deeply about the development of dogs and positive reinforcement training. Would highly recommend!"

  • A light-colored puppy in a box with crumpled paper, sniffing or exploring the box, in a grassy backyard with a swing and wooden fence.

    Krissie & Milo

    "Milo, our 1yr old Cockapoo had some 1:1 lessons with John and I'd highly recommend his training tools to anyone! The things we learnt with John have really helped with understanding our dog's behaviour and giving us some great activities to keep him stimulated and therefore not chewing on things he's not meant to!!!!!"

  • Miniature Schnauzer puppy sitting calmly in a puppy class in Chislehurst

    Claire & Wilma

    We did plenty of research before choosing a puppy class having had a very negative experience years ago with our previous dog. The Aspire Puppy Course was the perfect fit for us, reward based training and a small class size, which meant that our puppy wasn’t overwhelmed or too distracted and became comfortable being around other dogs indoors. John was very positive, the classes had focus and there was also always time to address any individual queries. Our puppy really looked forward to going every week!

  • A small French Bulldog puppy in a beautiful sit and stay on a wooden floor at home

    Chris & Betsy

    John is great and it’s clear that he really enjoys what he does and cares about the dogs he’s training.

    He explains things clearly and simply and the at home course he provides is fantastic. It allows everyone in the family the ability to listen and learn and helps ensure that we’re all saying the same things to our puppy.

    Betsy, our puppy, loved John (and the treats) and she’s made a huge amount of progress over the past 5 weeks.

    John also provides written guidance for you to keep and refer to in the future which is a massive help too!

    I would thoroughly recommend John and Aspire Training.

    Thank you so much for all your help!
