Nooch's Pooches

Panos is a true dog whisperer. He had our anxious and defiant rescue dog listening to him from session one. Panos’ technique is very inclusive, involving our whole family. We all learned a lot from his extensive knowledge and evident passion. He helped us to understand what our dogs really want and, more importantly, need from us. If your dog is stubborn like ours, they’ll definitely meet their match with the tough but fair Panos.

I reached out to Panos after rescuing our staffy x and discovering he is very reactive to other dogs. With Panos’ guidance we are now far better equipped with the skills to manage Bruno’s behaviour and can do so confidently.Panos is a passionate, experienced and knowledgeable trainer, I would recommend him to anyone!

We've been working with Panos for a couple of years now and he's been excellent..from working with us humans as well as our reactive dog. Everything he has taught us works as long as we do our homework. I highly recommend Nooch's Pooches from the moment you get your new best friend, whether it be a puppy or a rescue like ours.

I have a large male German shepherd that was reactive towards other dogs, pulled on the leash constantly and barked at night when we left him outside. We reached out to panos and after one session we had little to no pulling on his walks and his leash reactivity completely stopped! I don’t get anxious or stressed to walk past other dogs on our walks anymore which I never thought we could achieve!!After employing the methods panos taught us, the barking also stopped within a week!! Which has made life at home with our dog much more easy to manage!It was also amazing that he had his own incredibly well trained dog with him which helped greatly in our training process.Panos has an incredibly thorough knowledge of dog behaviour and psychology and has a well balanced approach to dog training. He explains his theory and practices thoroughly and in ways that are relatable and easy to understand.I have found after employing his theory and training that my dog has become a much more calm, confident and happy pup!We thank you panos for your guidance and expertise to help create a much happier and healthier lifestyle with our dog.I Would definitely recommend panos if you need a dog trainer, he was brilliant and for us, a game changer!

We reached out to Panos to address our dog's resource guarding and reactivity around other dogs. We were impressed by the progress that was made in just a couple of sessions!Panos is clear in explaining his methods and provides realistic solutions. He listens to what your concerns are and doesn't pressure you to book a certain number of sessions.It's clear that he's passionate about what he does. I would recommend his services to all dog owners!

Alice, our rescue dog, is not aggressive towards other dogs; she wants to meet them. We have proven this on many occasions. Her problem is that she is extremely vocal and lunges towards dogs, which is very off-putting to the owners of the dogs. It's hard to convince someone that she is friendly.Since commencing our training with Panos in May, not only has Alice made headway with training, but I also feel more confident when walking her. I've always felt that dog trainers don't train the dogs. They train you to teach your dog how to behave in different environments. We had two one-on-one sessions with Panos and Chili, (his dog). Also, four group classes—to be honest, when I took her to the first group class, I was really nervous. I thought I would be taking her home within 10 minutes of the class. Alice was very chatty, but in saying that, she was outstanding in my eyes; generally, she would not tolerate being so close to that many dogs without wanting to meet them.My aim with these classes is for Alice to be able to see a dog, ignore it, and only socialize with dogs I know and trust.Training her will not be over night, but with Panos' guidance, we will get there.

Panos is a very professional trainer who understands your dog and works with you to achieve your goals. During out training sessions he was able to identify where we needed to improve and he offered guidance and plenty of homework to achieve this. We still have a lot of work to do but I feel more confident that my dog and I will get there and I can always get words of wisdom from Panos if I need to. Thank you Panos for your understanding and support.

We have had Panos out for 2 sessions now and the improvements in our dog as well as the life skills we have learnt already are invaluable. After trying other dog trainers we thought there was little hope for our rescued American Staffie who's reactivity towards other dogs was extreme. Panos taught us how to manage her reactions and how to avoid them from occurring in the first place. He also has an amazingly trained dog he brings to sessions which has been perfect for our dog to practice being calm around another dog. Just 2 sessions with him has turned her into a completely different dog. I can't recommend Panos enough, he is a true professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and someone who we genuinely enjoy interacting with. Worth every cent.

We have a very challenging staffy cross that we rescued. Panos has been instrumental in his training and us being able to manage his behaviour.
