Lewis

Expert Trainer

Lewis’s first taste of real dog training came in the form of rehabilitating his German Shepherd (Ox), a dog that had 5 bites to his name and had been failed by 4 behaviourists and 2 trainers.

Lewis was then living in Oxford and would travel to Unleashed every 6-8 weeks for continuation training as well as every weekend to attend group classes. This showed an exceptional level of commitment to his dog.

3 years on, Ox is a walking demonstration of Lewis’ skill as a trainer.

Having rehabilitated such a dangerous dog with not one mistake along the way, Lewis was offered a position as an assistant trainer. He moved his whole life to Merseyside and apprenticed for a period of 16 months. He is now a very well-rounded trainer with many success stories to his name and a skilled decoy.

Lewis is now training his second dog (a Malinois called Eli) so that he can actively compete in working trials.

For 2 years we struggled with our 2 rescue dogs. They were terrified of everything, people visiting the house, traffic driving past, parked cars, bikes, children, other dogs. They would either react with aggression, or they would try to flee. Walking them was a chore, living with them was a chore. So after having a 121 session with Danny We decided they needed intense training so we booked them in for a residential course with Robbie. We had no idea if they could be helped but hoped for the best. It is now 5 weeks since they came back to us and i can’t describe the difference in them. They are calm, non reactive, so far we have had 100% recall, people pop in and out the house without any reaction. Until they came back we didn’t actually realise the stress we were under with their behaviour. Now we are completely contented, walking them is a total pleasure and they haven’t reacted or chased our cats once. I could not recommend these guys enough.

We had an initial assessment today with our GSD Eddie today. He is a reactive 2 year old. We have had other trainers all who let us and Eddie down. Incredibly with Lewis today he is a different dog already. We had family round for a bbq a couple of hours after the assessment. This was planned before the assessment he was totally cam and slept under the table. Normally he would try to steal food and be aggressive towards the and we have to crate him. Not today, even the family couldn’t believe his behaviour. I can’t thank Lewis and the team enough. It’s early days but an incredible start. Danny stated we would see an immediate difference but we never imagined how much of one. Thanks alot

Second time we’ve travelled across the country to come to Unleashed, this time with a different dog of ours. Robbie has been brilliant, both dogs who have seen him we’ve been able to make huge progress with (second dog only being on day 3 of new training routine and already she showing us she can be where we want her to be with work put in) any issues we have I know Robbie will come back to me with how to progress. After visiting and seeking advice from other dog trainers in the past we now wouldn’t trust anyone other than Unleashed for advice regarding our dogs. Danny has replied to every message I’ve sent him and gave us help even before we booked in for our assessments. Worth every minute of the travelling ing for their expertise

I met Danny and Robbie in August 2021 as I had been having massive problems with my lurcher’s nervousness and reactivity not dogs, people, bikes, horses etc.. after one 1:1 session and homework to practice every day I have a different dog. She’s happier in her own skin and knows I am there to manage any situation and protect her. I attend the group sessions as often as I can and have ongoing 1:1 when needed. The unleashed team are amazing and will tailor to your individual dogs needs I cannot thank Danny enough and would never take my dog anywhere else

Unbelievable dog trainers who have transformed my frenchie and made him a pleasure to walk. After several behaviourists, one of which dropped me like a hot stone when he bit, I was desperate and found Danny and Lewis completely by chance and haven’t looked back since. Can’t recommend Danny, Lewis and all the trainers enough 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

Cannot recommend the Unleashed team enough. Before training with Robbie and Danny I could not let my Lurcher off the lead and had to constantly avoid other dogs due to her prey drive and reactivity. Now I can walk her wherever I like on or off lead, regardless of any other dogs or animals around. This has completely changed our lives and made walking Peanut so enjoyable for me and her!

Can’t recommend the Unleashed team enough. My girl, 12 months ago, was a different dog on walks. Still not perfect but its work in progress, we can walk her without the worry of her being fretful or aggressive. Classes have enlightened me as to how many untrained dogs there are out there and most importantly how to deal with these dogs and their ‘not in control’ owners. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
