Ancient Connection Canine Services

Highly recommend Andrew’s services! We are in our final week of the perfect puppy program and have learnt so much. The program is structured well and is easy to follow. Andrew provides clear notes after each session which are useful for referring back to, if needed. Our puppy is such a good girl already. To say we are super stoked is an understatement! Thanks for your help Andrew.

Andrew has been working with our dog Coco for a number of weeks now and the improvement in her behaviour is incredible.I highly recommend Andrew for all dog training requirements.Sue Jenkins

We signed up for a four-lesson package with Andrew to help us with our puppy. We are very happy with what we have learned and could not recommend this more for any dog owner.Our puppy is a protective breed and does not trust strangers easily. He accepted Andrew from day one and by lesson four he was at our front door with a wagging tail when Andrew arrived.Andrew obviously enjoys his job, loves his dogs and has been an excellent communicator.

Andrew has done wonders for our two dogs in obedience training and behaviour management our dogs look forward to their lessons every week and have become much easier to manage. Andrew is a very professional, friendly and informative trainer that I would highly recommend.

I worked with Andrew doing a re-team with Kep the water detection dog.Andrew is an exceptional and passionate dog handler with a wealth of knowledge and Kep's talent for detection is an accurate reflection of Andrew's skills and modern thinking when it comes to training and handlingYou will seldom come across dog trainers in the industry who are so dedicated to the craft.I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and Ancient Connection Canine Services for all your training, kennelling and behaviour shaping and modifying .

Ever since getting in touch with Andrew, my only regret has been not trying to find him earlier!His down-to earth nature paired with his extensive knowledge (of both hoomans & doggos) is one heck of a combination! He made us feel at ease right from the beginning; took the time to really get to know Spikey & his history, his hoomans (me) and makes the training very personalised; ensures I understood he's teachings and is always happy to answer my 372936 questions during (and after) the session; he shares notes and videos post session (huge win)- having those reference points readily available and in two forms is something I've found really helpful. Its easy to see that all he wants is for Spikey (and myself) to succeed. Its clear hes commited to help facilitate and achieve this right from the beginning!The big win for me is seeing just how excited Spikey is to see him. This hasn't always been the case in the past with other trainers. Andrew recognises all the little signs/ behaviours that most would miss; he doesn't over do it for the dogs, thinks of the little things (like ending training tasks on a positive) and we all know what they say bout the little things! There's no questioning his love for canines.Andrews really has thought of A-Z! And in such a short time, spike's development is just wonderful.. prooving old dogs can learn new tricks!I know they say you shouldn't have favourites but having worked with a few trainers in the past, Andrew is hands down our favourite! DEFINITELY get in touch with him if you're looking for some help for your self and your best friend!We woof when you visit and cannot wait for training (and treats too) next week Andrew!—" sir-snores-alot"

We Started our puppy program with Andrew a few months ago, highly recommend this program. Summer absolutely loves Andrew and it is easy to follow. Andrew sends detailed notes in an email to keep up with the training at home, which makes it easy for my husband to catch up on the training if he can't be there. We've also had Summer board and train with Andrew while we were away and we were ​really happy with her progress and how well she was looked after. Will definitely use his services with any training or boarding in the future.
