LEE JONES TRAINING REVIEWS
ROCCO'S STORY
It sounds over the top but Lee absolutely changed our lives. Having had a number of trainers previously we didn’t get anywhere with our reactive GSD. We were told initially that he needed to be medicated, that he was aggressive, dangerous and finally we should have him put to sleep. It had got to the point I was so anxious in taking him out and couldn’t have people visit the house. I was at the point I didn’t think anyone could help us. Lee was our last chance as we just couldn’t give up on our boy and my goodness, I am so grateful we found him. Lees guidance and training, of mainly me, has made such a massive difference. I now have a dog that I can walk anywhere that I want to and can have people into the house, things I never ever thought would be possible. Booking a 121 with Lee was the best decision ever and I’m so grateful and recommend to anyone 100%. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeQ9H5A8/

REX'S
STORY
We rescued Rex at 6 months from a kill shelter in Romania. We were then involved in a car crash which left Rex reactive to EVERYTHING.. people, dogs, even bin bags and his own reflection. Life was bloody tough! We’d have to walk him at 5am to avoid as many triggers as possible, neither of us wanted to walk him as it was such a stressful ordeal and many times I’d come back and just cry. He wouldn’t get back in the car and we couldn’t have anybody to our house so it was a very isolating time. He was on alert all the time, barking at any noise and would never chill. To top it off he started to resource guard and life was a struggle! We tried many trainers, various medications and calming remedies but none of them helped. We were then told by our vet and a veterinary behaviourist to ‘put Rex to sleep’, this was heart breaking and it was hard to stay hopeful. But we are so thankful we did and reached out to Lee! He’s literally changed our lives and Rex is now living his best life. On the first session Lee had Rex back in the car. (We’d been trying this with other trainers for 6 months with no luck) What Lee taught us in that first session made an impact to Rex’s behaviour and reactivity straight away. We can walk past people and dogs in the street without reactions, walk with friends and family with Rex off lead, and he now has several doggy friends again. We can have visitors to our house and Rex will chill in his crate or on his lead where as before he would be barking and lunging constantly and so anxious! Don’t get me wrong we’ve put a lot of work in and we’ve still got a fair bit to go but it’s so nice to see Rex calm, happy, and also for people to see the loveable side of him that we see. And we couldn’t have got here with our lees amazing knowledge and support. He also corrected our behaviour, as the way we were reacting was making the situations worse. So if you’re struggling, please don’t give up hope. We honestly didn’t think we’d be able to get through this with Rex, but with the right path.. the right path being Lee Jones Dog Training, you can do it! And when you walk past somebody and they say ‘Aww, what a handsome dog’ rather than crossing the street to avoid you. You’ll realise it’s all worth it and it’s the best feeling ever! Thanks so much Lee, you’re a legend!"

"We adopted our rescue girl Skye from Romania in September 2020 when she was 5 months old. For a long time she didn't see anyone other than us meaning she became incredibly reactive to other dogs and wouldn't let anyone in the house. We first saw Lee when he came to see us in 2022 and then we went to see him a few months later in 2023. Thanks to Lee, Skye can now walk within a few feet of another dog without reacting, we can have guests into our home and we've even taken her on holiday with us! We wouldn't have been able to do any of these things if it wasn't for Lees help and guidance."

"Having followed Lee for a long time now and seeing what great work and the remarkable results he has achieved led us to contact him and arrange a zoom meeting. We have a few issues with our 2 and a half year old German Shepherd. Lee’s knowledge actually fills you with hope that we can get these issues resolved, he puts everything across in simplistic and to the point terms and makes so much sense. We are now putting into practice Lee’s ideas and confident of a positive result."

"Having been a working dog, adapting to being a pet was proving a challenge. I couldn’t walk her and if we saw another dog it became a battle often laced with nasty comments from other dog owners. Having followed Lee for a while we booked a zoom call and discussed my dog’s background and my issues. We began with small tasks at home and the transformation began. We followed the zoom up with a 1-2-1 session from which I learnt as much as my dog. Our journey is ongoing but the progress in our session was huge . Today we walked round the block something I’ve avoided. We were both relaxed the pace was calm and we both enjoyed it. Lee is knowledgeable patient and gives you and your dog the tools to enjoy what many other dog owners take for granted. I will be a Lee advocate to anyone experiencing issues. And I will be forever grateful !!"

"We have been having a few issues with our Dalmatian. Issues that without direction would become a massive problem. We've followed Lee on social media and decided to contact him. After speaking to Lee's partner, booking a slot I felt instantly at ease. The response was extremely warm and encouraging. When Lee knocked on our door his big smile ,non judgmental, calm ,professional self came in . Dobby was completely unaware of what was happening and after a very honest chat ,Lee got to work .Lee was extremely informative, explaining why and how to correct things that we were doing wrong. Dobby responded immediately which made us feel reassured and empowered, now having the physical and psychological tools to get the best from Dobby. Lee was extremely professional and effective. Obviously we now know where we unintentionally went wrong ',WHAT A GAME CHANGER" and now we know what we need to implement into Dobbys daily routine ,encouraging the best behaviour from our dog. Thank you so much. "

" We had the pleasure of having an appointment with Lee and meeting his wife today. We drove all the way from Nottingham but it was 100% worth the days round trip Our boxer max is reactive and a lead puller. After lee’s expert guidance, max was at ease and working towards our goals for him. He slept all the way home. 😊 I have had trainers in the past and they have all been useless with bully breeds. Lee completely understood Max’s energy levels and gave us the tools and encouragement to use them. I will be updating on Max’s progress. Both lee and Sammie had lots of slobbery kisses of max 🖤🐾 That dog loves to give kisses. 🤣 I have followed lee on social media for a while and had booked an appointment in with him last year, I have been waiting for him to recover from his accident so we could take max to him. Now we have the knowledge and tools to do it. I am confident we can overcome his issues. I can’t thank Lee enough."

"I can't express or shout loud enough about what an amazing 121 trainer Lee is. Truly amazing! Lee is hands down the best trainer i have come across. His work is outstanding!!! I wished i had booked him sooner and not wasted my money else where. I had two previous trainers who where a complete waste of time and money. He worked so patiently with my 14 month bully cross Storm, and also myself. Lee was very informative, understanding and very honest, he tried multiple ways to help her until we found the right solution, which also worked for me. I had over 5 months of constant reactivity with other dogs which developed after she was bitten by another dog (which i may add was with a trainer who was working with storm previously...so shocking!!) Storms reactivity combined with her pulling on the lead, got me to the point where i couldn't take her out as much as i needed, she also completely shut off when she see another dog no matter what the distance, i lost complete confidence when walking her. By the end of our training session she was sitting not even 1 meter away from Lees gorgeous dog with no reactivity AT ALL !!! I could not believe it, she was calm and listening to me for the 1st time in 5 months. Lee also gave me much needed information on which collar and lead changes i needed to help with her pulling. Well what can i say, another absolute game changer. Lee not only has helped me with my confidence but helped my anxious, nervous pup tremendously. I can now give her the longer walks she needs without any pulling, and no reactivity. I will forever be grateful for the help Lee gave me, I will never go anywhere else if i need help with anything else. One truly amazing man and trainer. Thank you. (I am ordering one of your logo jumpers )😊 Trained by Lee Jones!"

We contacted Lee in desperate help, due to our reactive/aggressive dog. We had many session with previous trainers none which could help us, and told us he wasn’t able to be helped or had to be medicated. After speaking on zoom with Lee Jones we knew straight away that we was in safe hands, Lee was so clear and honest about how to approach the issues safely and effectively. We later had a 1-2-1 session with Lee and Sam and we felt so relieved from the moment we stepped out the car, on session 1 Lee identified the issues and started putting in steps on how to deal with Rubbles aggressive behaviours, which this alone was the most help we had received up to this point from any trainer! Lee said that he was trainable and that we could get rubble to a place were he could start to enjoy life and walks in public, which previously wasn’t possible for us due to his human and dog aggression. Lee assured us that with determination and patience we could begin to enjoy having our dog. We later returned for session 2 and well this was when the magic happened, we saw a side to Rubble that we could only of ever dreamed of having! Rubble was managing to walk past Lee and Koda without reacting, when this happened me and my partner just couldn’t stop smiling! We was lost for words! Lee the entire time could identify when was best to correct rubble and was sure to praise rubble when he was doing amazing! We left that 2nd session feeling the proudest and most relaxed we have ever been since rescuing Rubble in January 2024, now we know how to handle the aggression and also correct it. I couldn’t recommend Lee Jones enough! He is truly a miracle worker, we was told so many times that Rubble needed to be euthanised and that he couldn’t be helped, that we nearly had given up, then we found Lee, now we can beginning to enjoy life with Rubble and give him the life he deserves! Thank you so much, we owe you everything!!! ❤️❤️ 02/11/2024

Coming up to meet Lee and Sam at their training ground was a fantastic experience, We were immediately made very welcome and our dog Bear relaxed very quickly, We were very nervous about how the training would go but Lee talked us through every step and gave us a huge amount of confidence about getting the best resolve for our boy, Not only was the training successful but the guidance on a healthier and correct diet which we have now put in place seems to be suiting him very well, Having a very anxious dog is a very lonely situation but hopefully with the knowledge we have gained from meeting Lee things will continue to be successful and we should have a much happier doggy, Many thanks again from us all as a family, Sally, Gordon,Laura and Bear
