Holden's Hounds

Life with your dog should feel easier!

Hello, Harry here!

I get it, there’s a lot of conflicting dog-training advice out there! I’ll help you cut through it. Most problems get much easier once you understand what’s driving your dog’s behaviour and what actually works to change it.

Whether it’s lead pulling, reactivity, poor recall or barking at home, I’ll work with you and your dog on the things that matter in your everyday life, with clear, practical steps you can use straight away.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harry is kind, professional and knowledgable.  I have had my first session to improve my dogs overall behaviour and reactivity, and while she did not ‘perform’ many bad behaviours he gave a lot of great tips and rationale. Excited for our next session.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harry is great! We asked him for help with our 8 month old Chocolate Lab. He was pulling on the lead, a lot! Harry took time to get to know us, our dog and what we wanted. He is super friendly, personable and soft. He gave us really simple advice that was easy to implement. No hard training techniques. Just simple stuff that makes sense. And works!  Our boy is so much better and responded almost immediately to Harry's techniques. Would 100% recommend and definitely use again if we ever needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harry was fantastic and provided us with so much valuable information to help with our almost 10-month-old French Bulldog, Beans. Our session was incredibly useful and gave us the confidence and tools we needed to address some of the challenges we were having with Beans not listening and taking control during walks. Within just a few minutes of putting Harry’s techniques into practice, we noticed a remarkable difference in Beans’ behaviour. Harry made us feel completely comfortable throughout the session, and his advice was clear, practical, and easy to follow. We’re excited to continue using the techniques he taught us and we’re very much looking forward to our next session. We would highly recommend Harry to anyone looking for help with their dog.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Harry enough. The progress with my dog has been incredible. He’s patient, knowledgeable and explains everything so clearly, making it easy to continue the training. I honestly didn’t expect to see such a difference so quickly. Thank you Harry for all your help — we’re so grateful!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SO happy we found Harry! He's been such a reassuring presence for us as first-time puppy parents: advising on everything from crate training, to introducing commands/ a more general establishment of boundaries. He's answered questions outside of our paid sessions, and given advice that clearly has our value for money in mind- rather than personal interests. What a guy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harry has been an excellent, conscientious and extremely helpful dog trainer for our large, 15-month Cane Corso Staffy cross. He’s been very patient in understanding what we needed and took the time to tailor and explain the training programme, whilst adapting to our preferences. The training is crystal clear and easy for us to pick and continue in Harry’s absence, which has proven to be effective from early on in the process. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get the dog training support they need!

The process…

We will begin training with a quick chat in your home. looking at not only the behaviour but also their environment, regime and other aspects that might be beneficial to know.

Then, the fun part: we simply get cracking!

How many sessions will I need?

I believe dog training should be simple, effective and as short as possible – I’m here to help you fix the problem, not to rope you into endless sessions! My approach is about training you (the owner), not just your dog.

For many behavioural issues – like barking, separation anxiety or pulling on the lead – most owners are surprised at how quickly we can turn things around. We’ll cover everything in a focused first session, then have a follow-up to check your progress and fine-tune things.

Every dog and owner is different, so the best way to know exactly what you’ll need is pop me a message through the contact form – I’ll talk you through my process and what would work best for you!
