Mort Smith - Training You To Train Your Dog Testimonials

At our wits end with our German Shepherd dog puppy (I've had them all my life but never one like this!) I rang Mort. He spent a morning with me and Manny putting into practise immediately his method. I don't know who was more worn out when he left - me or the dog - but armed with his advice and plan, we now have a much happier dog and calmer household! I'm not saying it was easy - you have to follow it through and keep it up but it is so worth it. On his follow-up visit a few weeks later, Mort tweaked the training a bit and we did recall off the lead. I was so proud of Manny when he did it. Thank you, Mort - we would recommend you to anyone who needs help with a challenging dog.

Mort has brilliant people skills as well as dog skills. When he came to our house (twice) the first visit was spent explaining "dog" to us so that we understood our rescue Rottweiler's behaviours.

We'd only had her about four weeks when he visited us but by two weeks after his second visit we'd let our dog off the lead and she was coming to the whistle with no problems.

As she is only 14 months she still has a lot of puppy traits and he has taught us how to manage them and to know what is acceptable behaviour and what isn't.

Dog walkers and people we visit comment on what a relaxed and well behaved animal she is. Considering we're first-time dog owners, and that our dog is a rescue, and that Rottweiler's are a very headstrong breed, Mort has helped us train a boisterous and rebellious dog into being a lovely family pet.

We've still got work to do but the information leaflets he left with us are helping and we know that we can ring for advice any time.

Thanks, Mort!

We have 2 amazing dogs (dobermans). The bitch is a rescue; at first her issues weren't prevalent but as time wore on we were really struggling.... She lashes out, barking, and going nuts when she sees another dog (particularly terriers). Fear based and she's never bitten but being the breed they are you can imagine how unpopular we became in the neighbourhood! Resorting to walking the dogs at ridiculous times to avoid any one at all costs.

AND MORT TO THE RESCUE! A three-hour session with Mort and we have the tools to cope. After only a couple of days implementing what we've learned, our dogs are even more of a pleasure. Yesterday we walked passed 3 jack russells who were yapping terribly and she didn't even flinch (despite what she was probably thinking). Shoe is on the other foot as the passer by was rather embarrassed at her unruly dogs. It felt great and now I go out looking for other dogs to walk past!

THANK YOU, MORT, this is one happy pack! Referrals - yes, without hesitation.

I was at the end of my tether with my German Shepphard Ozzie when I read mort's testimonials and thought l would give him a go. The results after just one session with Mort were astounding. We still have a way to go - Ozzie is still frightened of cars but doesn't pull on the lead anymore, so walking him now is a pleasure. I can highly recommend Mort, as he himself states he doesn't have all the answers but will work around the problem and find a different angle to come from to try to find a solution that works for both you and your dog.

Mort came highly recommended and with good reason. He has helped us and our rescue dog AJ to master the basics; Mort spent time to talk through the logic behind the techniques we used, which helped us to understand and use them more effectivly.

When we first got AJ we thought perhaps we had bitten off more than we could chew, but thanks to Mort's help we have made lots of progress and are now able to confidently take him places we would have never thought possible.

Mort is very friendly and professional, and we looked forward to our training sessions.

Thanks, Mort!!

Thanks to Mort for helping with our German Shepherd's nervousness. Very thorough trainer with an excellent manner, not only with our dog but us also! A definite recommendation to anyone who needs help training their dog.

Well what can we say FANTASTIC. With only 3 sessions we can now take Troy the 18 month, 10 stone boisterous Great Dane for a confident and pleasurable walk. Thank you Mort for your friendly and well explained help and advice.We would recommend you to anyone. Graeme and Jenny

I can now walk my 3 yr old rottweiler, Winston, past dogs - on the same side of the street! After one session with Mort, the nightmare of Winston lungeing and growling at other dogs across the road has gone. So has my frustration and embarrassment!
What an outstanding trainer and genuinely nice guy. I would happily recommend Mort to anyone with dog behaviour issues.

We are very grateful to Mort for the help he gave us in gaining control of Jess who loves all the family but likes to escort ʼstrangersʼ out through the gate with a little nip! as she is a collie/greyhound cross, this behaviour is not only unwanted but a bit scary! We now have more confidence in handling her in these situations. Thanks again, Mort, and I highly recommend your methods.
Jacki Wilson and family.

I highly recommend Mort Smith and his methods of dog training. He has helped me gain control of my rescue collie/greyhound who loves all members of the household but doesnʼt want to share them with anyone else! I now feel confident that I have much more control when she tries to round up ʼstrangersʼ and see them off with a little nip!

Not only is Mort a really nice guy but he worked with us to find solutions that worked for us and our dog (a 3 year old re homed German Shepherd). It wasnʼt a case of "Do it this way", it was working with us to find the right solution. It was so refreshing to hear a dog trainer say that he didnʼt have all the answers, and that there wasnʼt just one way to solve the problems. We felt really listened to, not a case of someone coming along telling us what to do. Canʼt recommend Mort enough.

really friendly and professional man who worked wonders with our ʼwild thingʼ Lexy giving us advice on problems such as sleep patterns,lead pulling aggression towards other dogs, cats,bikes balls etc and a complete embarrassment to walk,after just a few sessions there was a vast improvement not just notice by us but commented on by others.

Having worked with Mort as a Police doghandler for almost 10 years I would highly recommend Mort to aid in the training of any dog.
