It was great to see you again yesterday Nick.
Millie clearly loves time with you, and your guidance in helping her bounce back from her first season is much appreciated 🐾🐾

We had a fantastic private session with Nick and our greyhounds. He is an excellent teacher and we feel like we have much better tools to help us help our dogs to succeed! Thank you Nick 😊

We saw Nick for our 1:1 follow-up session today, following on from our Behaviour Consult last month, and within 5 min of being here, he had showed me exactly what I needed to do and how to deal with the reactivity problem and get my German shepherd to focus on me. We feel really confident in carrying his training forward now and Nick - who really cares about both, the dog and the owner - has filled me and my gsd with confidence and hope. Thank you Nick so much! I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Hi Wendy, can you please pass on my thanks to Nick for this morning. It has been very difficult to find a trainer who will be prepared to assess and work with two sister pups and not judge for the fact we have them. I’ve wanted dogs for years as well as cats and it was only this year that we sadly lost our last old cat. That presented an opportunity which I’m afraid led me to push Peter knowing if we didn’t do it now we would end up with more cats. Peter said yes and before he blinked we had two😊 we did talk it through and assess the pro’s and con’s so we knew full well that the training would be more difficult. However, what we didn’t anticipate/underestimated was how trainers would respond to two siblings. Nick is fabulous. The fact he is so calm and unphased fills us with so much confidence. Not just on the training side but generally. We are loving having the dogs but were on a bit of a downer, or I more precisely I was, just because everyone I had reached out to was so negative or unengaged. We are really looking forward to continuing the training and hopefully being able to demonstrate that we learning and to put into place all that Nick is teaching us.

We had a 1-2-1 with Nick to help our dog with controlling his impulse to moving objects (in our case …cats). So valuable to have this session, Nick clearly knows his stuff. We now feel like we have the tools to carry this forward and create a harmonious household, all advice given was followed up with a video re-cap of the points we can work on which was a lovely touch, as it’s easy to forget all the tips. If you need a sign telling you to book a session…this is it! Many thanks to Nick and Wendy for a first-class service.

Thank you so much for your visit this morning. It was so valuable to be able to discuss our concerns and have our questions answered in an honest and professional manner. PS - Sullie LOVES the venison :-)

I contacted Nick for a one-to-one session as my dog, Millie, was pulling on the lead. Nick pointed out some relevant issues before we even started on the walk which were really helpful. We then walked Millie whilst talking through and practicing what I could do differently. Nick is patient, kind and provides details with clarity. Just what you want in a coach or trainer! After the session, Nick posted a video of the key tips we discussed, this exceeded my expectations and it’s great to have this to refer back to. I would highly recommend Nick and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him again for dog training.

We booked a 1to1 session for our lively 6 month old Vizsla pup, Bosun, as Nick’s credentials looked impeccable. Within minutes of him working with Bosun you could see a huge difference in his attention and response to training. It was lovely to see him so engaged. Nick gave clear guidance then let me take over. Bosun continued with me where Nick left off, again, so nice to see and be part of. Since the session, Bosun has continued to respond well, whilst also being given time to “be a dog” as Nick calls it…..exploring, sniffing, playing etc. We can’t wait to book our next 1to1 with Nick. Money and time well spent!

We have been just delighted with Lexi and since your visit we have seen different behaviour whilst walking with her, just amazing. We took your advice on using the right harness, the 3M lead (transformational) and the use of treats. All in all we now not only have a beautiful dog but one which now walks with anyone in a calm and controlled manner, NO PULLING!! All three of us now enjoy our walks so much more. Thanks Nick.

Thank you so much for today. I think Lexi loved the experience and both Liz and I found it invaluable. We know we have a lovely dog and to see her with you just cemented that. You have given us both excellent tips to make the walks more valuable for all three of us! Thanks again Nick.

We had an excellent training session via zoom with Nick on Friday. It was really informative and helpful and we got loads of out of it. We were also pleasantly surprised by how well it worked via zoom and we’re looking forward to putting it all into practice over the coming weeks. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick/Puppy Stars

Recently had a 1to1 session with Nick. Worth every penny. He absolutely knows his stuff. I was very impressed and learnt loads with my lovely dog who responded really well to Nick - and the training we've done since is nothing short of brilliant. Delighted.

Nicks help with the obedience elements of Huws training have been an essential part of the success we have recently had with regard to our National Resilience Search Dog Assessment.The one to one tuition together with the training plan Nick devised have ensured we met all the criteria to pass.Elements such as the Emergency stop and 5 minute down stay (essential in our working environment to prevent Huw from injuring himself) have been made much more achievable using a progressive approach to achieve the end result.He has a natural talent and flare when working with animals and will ensure he gets the best out of both the handler and animal.I cannot recommend Nick highly enough.

Hi Nick, Just to let you know the credits have been building up all week and I can already see a big difference with Sidney when out walking today. He was happily walking by my side focussed on me, with only the odd tug forward to sniff the floor. This is opposed to his typical behaviour of leading out front pulling as far as he can.
