DDR Guard Dogs Arvostelua 

I’ve been working with DDR for over 8 months now and quite honestly can’t speak more highly of Ben and his team.
We started out training obedience with Connie but have since moved into more of the personal protection side, working with Cristian.
I’m so thankful to have found Ben at DDR, him and the whole team have supported and helped me in our journey with our male Corso, Vader. Excited to continue on our journey and for what the future holds.

We have a beautiful blue staffy called Zach who is 9 months old. We visited DDR site to meet Ben and his team of trainers to decide whether to send Zach to them for boarding and training whilst we were on holiday for 9 days. Zach had some previous one to one training at home so we wanted to take his training to the next level to learn new behaviours and get rid of some bad ones. Once we met Ben and his team of trainers we knew right away this was the place for him to be and to achieve what we wanted. On holiday we received regular videos of his training to see his progress which was amazing. We were worried Zach would miss us but the truth is it was us that missed him more as he was looked after so well by the team who loved him and Zach was kept so active and engaged with training that we could see he was having a great time. This put our minds at ease. When we returned Connie the head trainer held a session with us to show us what he had learned and got us to do it with him so we knew how to continue the training and progress. Zach’s nutrition is important to us and this is another thing we were impressed with as they do not just feed dogs kibble… they feed the animals with their own high quality protein raw organic grass fed lamb meat and fresh vegetables, which we now buy from them. So Zach who had a few patches of irritated skin where the hair was thinner had recovered due to the quality nutrition and now had a beautiful coat with no more skin allergy patches. I must say that Ben and his team are AMAZING and we are so happy with the results and improvements in Zach’s behaviour. We are going on holiday again in 5 months and will be bringing him back again when he will learn new behaviours. We have decided we will always bring Zach to Ben and his team when we go away as we trust them to look after him, feed him well with an excellent diet.
We see so many people struggling with their dogs and bad behaviours and have recommended DDR to them. We love our Zach and because of his breed we believe we have a responsibility to invest in his training to ensure he is well adjusted to be around other people and their animals and be well behaved.
Special thanks to Ben, Connie & Chloe… but many trainers were involved in his training videos and they were all fantastic.
Zach is a different dog and even more amazing after his training.
Cannot recommend DDR enough.
Many thanks to Ben and his team on behalf of us and Zach 👍😁

The service we received from the whole team at DDR Guard Dogs was exceptional.
We left our family pet Ludo for 13 days on the stay and training option and he came back a different dog.
The team have excellent experience and skills as well as being lovely people.
Couldn’t recommend more highly.

10/10 We have been having weekly sessions for about 7 weeks, the difference in my Mali/German Shepherd is amazing, we went from aggressive dog to obedience in just two weeks. The whole team are so welcoming and Connie is a superstar, always there to listen and give good advice and Marlon adores her. Thanks Team!! Also the raw food gets a 12/10 from my boys!!

We have our dog noodle for the assessment of what he needs to learn and how he feels about the place first, and decided to have him on the zero to hero program, all the stuffs are super nice and professional， noodle spent 14 days at ddr dog training, and because he is still a young puppy, Conny and Emma took him home to spend the night with them so that noodle would feel more secure. Everyday we receive videos about Noodle’s progress and we also have him delivered to home after, Conny showed us how to continue training him at home as well.

Thank you😊

I found DDR guard dogs whilst looking for a last minute place to stay for our 9 month old cocker spaniel, Hugo. I didn’t like the idea of a kennels but this place had so much more to offer like added training services.
We had been struggling with obedience training with our boy and decided to purchase the board and train package from DDR. The location was perfect as there was a huge field and lots of agility props for the dogs on site to use.
I was still nervous after dropping Hugo off on day one but the lovely team sent me videos daily of our dogs progress which gave me great comfort.
We have had our dog home 3 days now and it’s safe to say it was the best money we have spent in a long time. You can see the effort this place has put in with him and how far he has come.
We would for sure use these guys again for boarding/ top up training.
Thanks again to Ben & the lovely team at DDR.

True professionals who listens! Ben is one hell of a professional who actually cares about you, listens to you and understands you, and he is honest and straightforward. He helped us to understand our needs and what is best for us and best for our dog. He's not just training your dog, he also educates owers at the same time.
Thank you Ben and thank you DDR

Professional 4800 Energy ( dog food)

My friend Ben ( DDR ) recommended this product to replace regular for my German shepherd. I am so delighted with his condition after using this food. He loves it and his coat is so soft and shiny. He doesn’t smell or shed much hair. Highly recommended and Thank you again.

Absolutely top notch, we left our 18month old Malinois Akela with Ben and his team for a 2 week Boot camp whilst we were away on holiday and cannot speak highly enough of the treatment and training he received, Ben regularly sent us video updates showing us Akela being put through his paces.
When we collected Akela we were shown areas that the team had been working on and went through some ourselves with the guidance of Connie who i have to say was brilliant,we also discussed moving forward with training which will be a definite in the near future,
Since being back home Akela has responded well, alot more responsive to commands and brilliant close walking on the lead.
All in all top marks to Ben and his team at DDR special thanks to Connie.
Ken Simpson and family,,,

We took our 21month GSD to Ben to assist with serious dog aggression and reactivity. We had owned him for 4 months and we’re the 3rd owners and had made minimal progress with this problem. We have now had four 1-1 sessions and the progress has been amazing. Bens approach has been to introduce a wide range of dogs to ours and dealing with the reactivity by the use of firm control balanced with praise as we have progressed. We now have a different dog and whilst needing some further training believe he now has a positive future. The set up at DDR is first class and all the staff have been exceptionally friendly and professional. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful dogs and professional trainers, there are many breeds from puppy to adults dogs, all the facilities and fields for dogs training and play, I really appreciate the way they train the dogs, not just barking and bite but control and simulation, I have found my lovely dog in DDR, He is not just a excellent body guard but also a warm companion, thank you DDR.

I can’t recommend this company enough. I say company but that’s not how it feels, family is more appropriate. Ben and his team provide a level of care and service that is simply unrivalled. They GENUINELY care, not just put on a show or talk like they do, but actually care. I’ve never seen an operation run with such passion and love for the dogs, customers and whoever else is blessed enough to have contact. My only regret is not purchasing my dog originally from Ben. In the future there is only one place I will go.
As for the training, faultless. The knowledge and expertise are seriously impressive, with both the dog and with teaching us as owners. Always a warm welcome, always on hand for advice can’t thank everyone enough for their help. Can’t wait to keep up the training and both our dog and ourselves learn more.
We’ve had both weekly lessons and the residential boot camp so far and will 100% be back for both. We also now buy all our food and gear here. You can’t put a price on this kind of expertise but the value for money also happens to be superb. We are lucky enough to live just over an hour away but would travel much further if we had to.
I fully trust these people with my dog and the safety of my family. Nothing is more important.

Ben and his team at DDR are all absolutely outstanding professionals and even better, good people.

We couldn’t have asked for nicer dog with a great temperament and his training has been well worth the time and investment.

Despite setbacks and being letdown by other providers, we have found Ben to be true to his word both in terms of expected timelines and costs. Couldn’t recommend these guys more highly.

Good honest people..Good team work. done moore than my expectation i will recommend to all my friends

We have taken our very reactive Rottweiler to see Ben as a last resort before either rehoming or being euthanised . Never did we dream the transformation in her would be possible just a few lessons. The service we have received has been second to none, not just from Ben but his amazing team. We can now go out walking and not worry about her trying to bite someone or bark, lunge and growl at anything that moves. It’s a pleasure walk and not a chore that we dread every day. The knowledge and expertise that Ben has about every aspect of the dogs is unbelievable from behaviour to training to nutrition. We can now have our tele on and blinds open without her trying to launch herself through them. We were walking around the field today with numerous dogs whilst she was free roaming this is not something I thought was possible. We will continue our journey and see the improvement with every visit. I will say if you want a trainer who will get you results and tell you where the problems are then this is the trainer for you. If you want a trainer who will tell you what you want to hear and take a slow steady approach which rolls over into lesson after lesson then perhaps look elsewhere.
Listen to the instructions you are being given and do your homework you will soon have a well balanced dog that enjoys life to the fullest. Couldn’t be happier huge thank you to Ben and his amazing team.

We have never been a 2 dog household and gotta say we have been through it with Elmo resource guarding and actually attacking Bruce our other dog a few times back in summer also aggression to other dogs. Was told by Dog Training evolution in Tonbridge to rehome him after paying £350 for a hour (he clearly couldn’t be bothered with the breed) this was in August , booked in with Southend dog training and they. cancelled us 3 times they have got to big and cannot cope, we have been trying ourselves and giving them more structure but still needed help and found Ben so my advice with aggressive dogs or for anything is see Ben at DDR . Obviously when I got them both my mindset wasn’t right as was getting over losing my Dad so training wasn’t happening but after being told to rehome him that we upped our game and gave them structure also now have DDR GUARD DOGS on board who helped us instantly. Slowly but surely progress every day 🎥 now for obedience training with Ben to help us help them we will continue to train as they also like learning

I love these boys 🧡🖤 , couldn’t have them in the boot together and in same room at one point it’s been that bad X

They are both cross breed mastiffs

Amazing training and help with DDR GUARD DOGS and team, Ben is amazing we won’t go anywhere else for our German shepherd Max who is an amazing guard dog trained by DDR, my son and daughter-in-law would not go to max, because every time max sees them he would bark, so we decided when we go and collect max From DDR we kindly asked Ben if he would introduce my son and daughter-in-law to max, Ben kindly said yes, until this day I cannot believe my son and daughter-in-law got a friend for life with max amazing, thank you so much Ben, and the food we purchase for max on the website is amazing max is looking incredible thank you one again Ben and all the DDR GUARD DOGS TEAM

We are a family of 3. Our daughter was age 12 when we first started the program and got JJ from DDR. I always wanted a Malinois that was well trained and would love and protect my wife and daughter if ever needed. Once we were in a position to start I contacted Ben/DDR. Only because I had spent a few years searching for what I thought would be one of the best breeder/Trainers in the Uk if not the world. Our dog JJ is the most unbelievable part of our family. I cannot explain how amazing he is. the program we have all gone through with him has been such an educational experience for all of us. I have been around dogs my whole life but discovered so much more every time we trained at DDR or had questions over the phone at anytime. The program requires commitment and in return you get what you invested. For us that's a dog that looks stunning, behaves impeccably and protects us. We take JJ to my daughters Tennis Academy all the time. My wife or daughter love taking him on walks by them self. He is our protector. We are now at the end of the Zero toHero journey but only the beginning of our wonderful adventure with JJ. Thanks to Ben and the dedicated training staff of DDR.

Ben is definitely of the no nonsense dog trainer school. I went to get my rescue Doberman assessed as he has had some issues and Ben put me on the right track with how I should go forward. The puppies at the boot camp looked well looked after, and their trainers kind but strict.
