K9 Exclusive Walks Ltd Reviews 56

Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to work with him in person because I live in another country, but that was not a problem for him at all. He immediately offered guidance and practical exercises remotely.

You will not get generic advice from Don. His approach is absolutely individual. He will invest his time and knowledge to fully understand your specific situation and what is really going on with your dog.

Don shares his knowledge very generously, and it is clearly rooted in real hands-on experience, not just something learned from a textbook. He brings things back to the natural foundations and the true essence of the relationship between a dog and a human — mutual respect and trust.

And when training is built on that foundation, the results are real, stable, and sustainable in the long run.

I recommend Don with complete confidence.

We left our beloved ex- racer Greyhound for the first time with Don.
We were instantly reassured that we had made the right decision after our first meet up with Don @K9 Exclusive Walks Ltd.
Our dog was relaxed and comfortable at Don’s home, we had regular updates and are beyond thrilled to see our beautiful dog enjoying the company of other dogs and learning some much needed training.
We have already booked in our next dog’s next stay!

Super helpful, knowledgeable & friendly. I got in contact with Don this afternoon about some recall for my sighthound. He got back to me straight away and got on a call with me offering up really insightful advice and training tips. He is very polite and so willing to help, could tell straight away how passionate he is about helping people and dogs. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Don enough. He has transformed the behaviour of my 18 month old lurcher. No longer do I have anxiety about his recall/behaviour when out with him. I actually enjoy taking him out now! For training, boarding, anything dog related, I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Amazing training, daycare and overnight stays recommended by our whippet owner friends, our teenage puppy Pickle has really improved his recall with Don’s training. We’ve learnt lots of new techniques through Don’s videos to continue the training at home too. We’ll keep booking Don for regular overnight stays as Pickle absolutely loves them and they give us time to enjoy weekend activities that are hard to do with a dog! Thanks, Sam and Hollie

So glad we sent our Greyhound, Echo to Don. He's such a kind a reassuring and understanding presence for the dogs, but also for us and our myriad of booking mistakes! Echo loved staying for 5 days with Don and being off the lead with the pack.

Updates were amazing and communication was brilliant. Echo will be going back to Don and loved every second there. Highly recommended.

Don looked after Frida so well! She spent the day and night with Don and ‘the pack’ and from the excellent video updates it looked like she had a wonderful time. Don’s training with her has made a great difference in a very short time, Frida seems much more tuned in to us on her walks.
Thanks Don!

We have met Don a couple of times for training and our dog has stayed over at his house for several nights. We completely trust Don with our dog and he has helped significantly improve some behavioural issues. He has increased our confidence as first time dog owners and look forward to the next opportunity that we have to use his services.

We had a wonderful experience with K9 Exclusive Walks. Don is highly professional, personable, an expert with sighthounds and provided truly excellent care (and advice!) for our greyhound. We also really appreciated his flexibility and going out of his way to accommodate us at short notice and make our dog comfortable, Stitch really benefitted from being part of the pack and Don's expertise, even just over a few days. It was a genuine pleasure dealing with Don and we couldn't recommend K9 any more highly!

Jo had a lovely overnight stay at K9. Quite happy to see her running around with the pack :-) Also really appreciate Don’s flexibility as we had to move the date for her stay because of unforeseen circumstances.

Disco the Whippet loved her overnight stay with Don and his pack. She had a fun and activity packed stay. She even went swimming for the first time.

Don is extremely knowledgeable and professional. We were sent videos which was very reassuring as it was her first overnight away from home.

We are all looking forward to her next stay.

What stood out most was his patience and calm, supportive approach — both with my puppy and with me! I feel much more confident as a dog owner now.

Thank you so much for your help and dedication — it made a world of difference. If you're looking for a top-tier dog trainer, this is the one.

I needed some help/advice with my Labrador when off lead. Don was very knowledgeable and gave me the confidence to help my dog. I’ve already started implementing his advice and can see small changes already. (It’s only been a few days) Would thoroughly recommend him and his pack.
Thank you

Our two greyhounds stayed with Don for just over a week so we could take our first holiday in years. We have really struggled to find a boarder that can accommodate both our greyhounds, both have different needs but Don put us at ease from the very first meeting. We received so many updates, pictures and videos that we felt perfectly at peace, knowing that they were having a fabulous time! Don even managed to get Pearl trained to be off lead, something we never thought possible and are looking forward to putting this new training to use back home!

Don is a sighthound whisperer! We’ve been so so impressed by his training for our lurcher, Reggie! Over the course of 5 days and 4 nights, we’ve already seen an incredible improvement.

We got recommended to contact Don through a fellow lurcher owner we met in Highgate Woods.

We are forever indebted to the training Don has provided to Reggie AND will continue to provide for him. 10/10 would recommend all sighthound owners to Don :)

Thank you so much!

Don has been brilliant with our Lurcher Bobby. His confidence around sighthounds is second to none and we have no problem in trusting Don and his ability to care for Bobby… and keep Bobby on his ‘paws’ training wise!

Bobby comes home exhausted and happy after a day with Don - he will always be returned clean, well socialised and walked! Thank you Don! We are so pleased we found you!

Don is amazing! A sighthound whisperer. And a lovely human who has helped me with my wilful sighthound pup Levi.
Wish we lived nearer, we’re up in Scotland, but he helped us remotely.
I would highly recommend 🤩

Don has been exceptional at training our saluki boy, iloh. We originally attended a generic puppy class but it soon came apparent to us, iloh needed someone with specialist breed experience! By luck I came across don through a Google search, and it was a blessing to find K9exw.

Sighthounds are in a League of their own when it comes to stubborness and need specialist training for recall, every time spent with Don we see more and more improvement with Ilohs recall! The daily updates are a visual masterpiece and getting to see Iloh run with the pack is truly beautiful. There’s no one else I would trust to let my boy off lead then with the K9exw!

Highly recommend and look forward to keep sending iloh to run with the pack

Don has done an amazing job with my partner´s lurcher. Clive´s high prey drive meant we were worried about letting him off-lead in London in case he caught a scent and vanished. From the first meeting Clive transformed before our eyes into a different dog; obedient, eager to please, and focused on who is walking him. Each time Clive stays with Don he improves a little more, and always comes back happily exhausted.

Don is not only a highly skilled canine trainer, he provides an extremely high level of care, with highly nutritious food, weigh-ins and shampoos, and is a font of useful advice. Somehow Don also finds time to send us artfully edited videos of the wonderful walks Clive has with the pack. Lucky dogs – thanks Don!

Fantastic service, always very reassuring to know Wisp is being cared for so well and getting loads of exercise! Comes back more obedient as well.
