DDR Guard Dogs Arvostelua 

AVOID!!!!!!
Making an enquiry about boarding and getting the passive aggressive answers to questions made me reconsider leaving my my boy with this organisation. The customer services was seriously lacking. Not good vibes at all

UPDATE
Since writing my review I was contacted by the Director of this organisation who had the audacity to try educate me on banned and breeds. When I refused to talk to this arrogant individual he proceeded to call me 4 times until I blocked him!
Today whilst minding my own business he decided to call again repeatedly from your landline.
This behaviour is unacceptable
As I said not good vibes, customer service is passive aggressive and the continued calling is WILD.
Do not contact me again.

Like a old dog with a bone you just cant let it go!
I have never asked for anything free that was your assumption. After you were very fast to ask for payment I simple enquired if there was an opportunity to visit or for my dog to have a taster day. NOT at any point did the word FREE come from me. I only asked if it was possible and the rude response was off putting. I would have expected to pay for this. Your resposnse was rude and I was nice enough to tell you I found your customer service unfriendly YOU SIR ARE UNFRIENDLY!!
You actually asked for payment before you asked to check any of my documentation. Payment was to be made Via bank transfer and then sending a screenshot as proof. its giving🚩 So calm down and stop the lies. The fact you have taken the time to only respond to my review despite others having a negative experience again shows your lack of professionalism and lack of customer service.
You have rang my phone repeatdly after me saying NO THANK YOU and hanging up the phone on you. Thats HARRASMENT and stalking and breaking GDPR so carry on harrasing me and I WILL take legal action!!!!!
I Leave reviews on REALLY GOOD and REALLY BAD experiences. I am very aware of all the legislation and paperwork. To imply that I didnt or haven't got this paperwork together, again is a complete untruth and was never asked for or discussed. As i told you on the phone I do not require your explanation or services, so stop attention seeking

We had a 2yr 4mth old German Shepherd with some behaviour issues. Due to being attacked when younger she was very nervous around other dogs and would also bark at humans when out on walks. Her recall wasn't great, she also barked a lot in the garden and we knew that we needed some help in getting her focused and well behaved. We had a holiday booked and rather than putting her into kennels for a week, we found out that DDR offer K9 Bootcamp training courses, so we booked our dog in for 3 weeks. Ben and his team clearly love what they do and it shows. They build up great relationships with the dogs and gain their trust - this in turn leads to effective training. We were kept up to date with regular videos (via wattsapp) of her progress which was reassuring as we could see how happy she was at DDR. Our dog responded so well to her training. We are seriously impressed by the progress made. She is no longer reactive to other dogs, she is more confident around other people and now comes back when called off lead. This has led to us both having more confidence with our dog, so she has a better quality of life now, as she can be off lead more and just by making consistent changes we can see incredible results. We have had our own training sessions, as we are the first to admit that we just weren't strict enough with her at crucial stages of her development. We highly recommend DDR to anyone who feels like having their beloved dog can be a bit stressful in certain situations - seek help from DDR and you will be amazed at the results leaving you will a well trained dog to be proud of and enjoy!

I left my black Lab, Apollo, with Ben's team for a week whilst I had to travel for work. I was a little concerned as not all kennels and training centres are beneficial long term but DDR outperformed all my expectations. They gave regular updates to know how Apollo was progressing and that he was in good hands. When it came time for the pickup, the handover process by Emma was great and everything was clearly explained and more importantly there were big positive behavioural changes in Apollo. Will definitely use again - highly recommend!

My Boxer cross Nancy went to Boot Camp for 3 weeks as she had become reactive with other dogs after being attacked about a year ago. The team worked really well with her and I visited a few times during her stay to work with her and learn her new routine.
She is much happier now and calmer all round.

DDR is a true outlier.

Ben and his team offer a fantastic facility with highly experienced and knowledgeable staff who are deeply passionate about caring for and training the dogs in their board. My 4-year old Akita, (Henry) recently enjoyed a 7-day stay/train board at DDR with direction from me to focus on improving some minor pulling issues whilst on the leash. The results they achieved in this short period were remarkable and are proof and testament to their skill and expertise.

Communication was clear and quick to all questions that we posed and we also received a daily video of Henry in his training.

DDR offers a highly professional and veracious service that I would highly recommend to any dog owner seeking the absolute elite in all departments for their dog's welfare.

At previous kennels my Great Dane came back having lost weight but with DDR he came back looking great with a shinny coat and full or beans. I now use DDR raw and this has also settled his stomach. Amazing kennels and food

DDR is the best, I highly recommend!
Ben and his team are all brilliant very friendly and helpful. My German Shepherd stayed at book camp and when he returned he looked amazing, he was a different K9. Regular videos and updates are sent to you so you can see how your K9 is doing and gives you a peace of mind. DDR I highly recommend for all your services!!

Our experience of DDR Guard Dogs has been nothing but outstanding!
I have two large dogs who have behavioral issues and this was our last hope. I found DDR Guard Dogs on google and after reading the reviews & researching them I decided to make contact.
I can honestly say from the moment I contacted Ben I knew I had made the best decision. The professionalism of Ben & his staff was 10/10. The time, effort, empathy & understanding towards us was exceptional. We left our 2 very loved dogs in Ben and his wonderful staffs safe, capable hands and went off on our two week holidays stress free. Whilst away we received a video of each of our dogs everyday, showing us the training & their progression, it was so comforting & reassuring seeing the professional training taking place and to see how dogs fulfilled and happy whilst being professionally trained.
I could go on as I really am the happiest of customers, however I will end by saying you really couldn’t go anywhere better than DDR Gusrd Dogs they truly are the cream of the crop and have changed our lives for the better .
Our journey does not end here as we will now forever be lifelong, loyal customers & only ever use them to board / train our dogs when need be .
We are also looking forward to returning for our 1-1 training to top up on new tricks .
From the bottom of our hearts Ben & crew , thank you for everything you are legends !!! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

All I can say is WOW! I got a German Shepherd with severe reactive barking at other dogs which was quite dangerous and absolutely no training or socialization from previous owners. I was told by many other dog trainers that there was no hope and that my dog needed a muzzle and that she was a danger to other dogs. I reached out to DDR Guarddogs because I heard so many amazing things about them. My german Shepherd is primarily for my daughter when she goes to hospital appointments but also for guarding of our family home. DDR guard dogs did amazing work within only a few days my dogs reactive barking has stopped and she’s a lot easier to control etc. I cannot wait to see what they can do with the guard dog training as well. I started with the 2 week boot camp and I have to say DO NOT waste your money anywhere else! DDR guard dogs are the absolute best place to take your dog to! They give regular updates and they work wonders! Forever blessed for their amazing work!!! Thank you again so much!!!

This is the 2nd time we’ve opted to leave our dog in the trusted hands of DDR Guard Dogs. We gave them specific instructions on what we wanted to work on this time. Very happy with the updates that we received and it was clear that they worked on what we requested. Will definitely use them again in the future

Connie and team did a great job with our Doberman Kylo. In addition to working on issues like reactivity, obedience, lose lead walking etc they also ensured I walk away with the right techniques, information and equipment to carry forward the training myself. Ben also kept me updated with Kylo’s training videos regularly. Overall a great inclusive experience and they make you feel so much at ease. Thank you team DDR!

My dogs came for a ‘stay and play’ week while we were on holiday, and I cannot fault the team here. We booked in at quite short notice for a half term week and they found space for us, high quality food was supplied for their stay whereas elsewhere we had always had to supply it, and video updates were sent throughout their stay, putting our minds at ease as we knew they were in good hands. They weren’t just left to run in a field for play either, they got proper enrichment, from agility equipment to chasing various toys etc, my dogs were properly looked after and would 100% recommend - far and away the best place we have ever boarded our dogs! Thank you guys.

Ben and the staff were excellent! Our 18 month old German Shepherd stayed for board and train for 2 weeks, we got videos sent to us everyday showing her training and progress, and a very useful handover session when we picked her up. The training was excellent and was tailored to what we asked for and what our dog needed, she is even more wonderful than before thanks to DDR!

I cannot thanks DDR enough. We took our 8 month GSD for the boot camp and some E-Collar training and honestly it has change our dogs life. We can now do off lead walking with 0 reactivity and she is behaving alot more at home. Definitely cannot recommend them enough

After a few weeks of searching for new guad dogs we shortlisted ddr along with 2 other companies and so began communicating with them as the purchase was for a high profile family (HNWF), the family new what they wanted exactly and what it will cost them. At first approach we were directed to the website after a good look called back again but the gentleman who I believe is the owner had no interest in doing business and kept referring us to the website which was no help as am not ordering a pair of shoes... to be honest all 3 companies were worse than each other I was beginning to believe that it was all a front and none of the listed dogs even existed. So went back to plan A and decided to import from Europe.

My dogs love coming here! The team are friendly and welcoming and they really care about the dogs, so it gives me peace of mind when my two tear-aways come to stay. Plus the team are very competant for handling big, powerful dogs, which means my two medium sized rescue dogs are totally in good hands and actually pick up good manners when they stay. The dogs recieve quality food, cosy rooms and a good grooming whilst on their stay. Which means that by the time I collect them, my pups are happy, tired, healthy, clean and actually smell lovely.
Just to add, I'd looked around at other kennel centres and was concerned about the smelly floors, cold concrete bases with metal cage doors, those grim, basic type establishments which you often come across. This is NOT that. Instead my dogs are well cared for and garner lots of love and cuddles with good control/ handling training also. My two handfuls also love the agility course and I get videos of this and other training sent to me whilst I'm away. Will be booking up again soon. Thanks Ben and team xXx

Ps, it's only not 5stars as it would be nice to have a proper reception room to meet in, but honestly that's just me being picky. Your 5* really.

Ben and the team at DDR are fantastic. Thank you :)

We had our boy, Levi, board here for two weeks while we were on holiday. It was our first time separated from him and we were so anxious and worried, but the entire team at DDR were so lovely and understanding. We chose the pick-up and drop off option which was so seamless and stress-free. They sent us videos and photos throughout our time away and kept us updated. We opted for one week of training as well, and it was the best decision we have made. Levi is so well-behaved and does extremely well on his walks. They did a great job eliminating his reactivity. We were so impressed we even swapped to the food they provided for him and training cubes (which are a God send!!). Thanks so much to everyone at DDR! Will definitely recommend and bring Levi back the next time.

I spoke with Ben on the phone who gave me realistic expectations about turning my dog’s behaviour around, highlighting that I have a lot to learn also. My 6 month old puppy spent two weeks at puppy kindergarten here all basic commands were achieved. I also asked for specific help with crate training, muzzel training. My dog seemed to love his time. From being quite rebellious when he entered he was now behaving beautiful for his amazing trainers. The facilities are first class , the countryside is on the doorstep and my dog was so happy. He was learning how to behave and enjoying the praise. I cannot recommend Ben and his dog training establishment. The passion to rehabilitate and help dogs of all temperaments is evident. But they also care that owners are happy and engaged with training also. I continue to train at home going every few weeks for a one to one to iron out any bad habits. At home my dog has gone from being destructive and demanding to a sweet obedient dog that is still full of mischief as puppies are but is aware how to make sensible behaviour choices to please me. I am delighted with my dogs behaviour and I cannot recommend this training facility highly enough.
They 100% get desired results. In their shop all equipment is to purchase and I now buy the most wonderful raw food that is very price competetive
Fantastic place. Thank you to all the team.

I took my 18 month Rottweiler to see Ben and his staff for general obedience training and they pointed out that he had a problem with his back leg and suggested that I put off the training and give him joint supplements which I did and kept Ben updated with his progress three months later I managed to get him fit enough to take the board and train course. He stayed with Ben and his staff for a week and I could not be happier with the results the dog is much more obedient than he was before he went in even though his leg started to play him up a bit I received regular video updates to see his progress and am really happy. Ben suggested that I need to take a bit more weight off of him and keep him updated on the progress of the dogs leg. Cannot recommend Ben and his staff enough on the professional way they have been training my rottie once I’ve sorted the leg and weight issues I will definitely be taking him back for further training 10/10 experience
