James came highly recommended and we certainly weren’t disappointed. His friendly approach and natural ability to understand animals proved both successful and fun for our rescue Lurcher, Smaske. Although a fantastic dog, he didn’t come completely without a few challenges but James helped us understand his behaviour. After using his techniques we saw an instant improvement. After our 1 to 1 session, James continued to show an interest in how Smaske’s training is progressing and continues to offer his guidance and advice when we need it. Christina Savage, Salford
James, you did so much for me and fudge, he’s doing great, playing with other dogs, listens more, he’s like a different dog and I have a lot more confidence and understanding thanks to you. I would recommend you to any of my friends who are having dog problems. Like I said before, I cannot thank you enough. Sue Worswick, Droylsden
Your training worked a treat and Butch has been toileting in the right place religiously. Honestly I cannot thank you enough! We followed your training plan and all is well. Zeynep Turunc, Fallowfield
I have 2 golden retrievers, Gus and Ollie. In March 2009 Gus started to attack Ollie for no apparent reason and it was a very scary time. I then had to keep them separated at all times while I was in the house. Before the fighting, they had always been together so I couldn't understand it. When James came round he asked questions to find out why things had changed. He worked out why Gus had began to attack Ollie and told me things I could change to get them to live happily together again and wrote a training plan to help me get there. I was extremely worried and distressed as I assumed I'd have to give one of them up, but James reassured me that if I stuck to the plan things would go back to normal. I'm delighted to say that the training worked perfectly and they're both living happily together again. So I'd like to say a huge thanks from Me, Gus and Ollie. Rachel Horn and Golden Retrievers, Salford
Just a note to thank you for yesterday. Monty is a totally different dog now. We had a good day yesterday with just 1 short "mad moment" that was quickly quelled, and again today just 1 silly time that was quickly brought under control. We've had a few visitors yesterday and today and he just sits there wagging his tail rather than go jumping at them as he did before. Thanks again. Martin Glynn and Springer Puppy
Thanks very much James. We really appreciate the advice you have given us for Max - which we are putting into practice. Max is already walking better, coming back to us in the park, calmer with traffic, and enjoys sitting on his rug in the kitchen/ diner while we manage to cook and unload the dishwasher in peace! He generally seems calmer and more content. So we will keep up your good work. Thank you very much for the training plan - that’s great - as there was a lot to take in. Perry and I will certainly be recommending you to anyone we meet locally who needs help with their dog’s behaviour. Many thanks, Margaret Twigg and Collie Puppy, Didsbury
James's techniques worked miracles on my two dogs. My dog Difa had been crazy for nine years and very aggressive towards other dogs. He was starting to teach my new puppy all his mischievous behaviours. After one session with James, the difference in their actions was remarkable, and the dogs clearly enjoyed learning new skills for treats. Both dogs now walk well on a lead, socialise with other dogs, and are very obedient within the house. James' professionalism and passion for dogs made the training fun for both me and the dogs. He continued to provide support via text and email for several weeks after his session. I would recommend his services to everybody! Hazel and Difa, Bolton http://www.barkingbuddies.net
I have a 16 month old American Bulldog "Biggs," who was a nightmare to walk and had a terrible fear of cars, he would try and attack them as they drove past and constantly pulled on the lead when being walked. I contacted James and he came to our aid. "Biggs" is now great on the lead and much better around cars, he is constantly improving as we do daily work with him following James' routine. I wouldn't hesitate to contact James again, he even gave us some tips on our Chihauhau whilst working with us. We cannot thank him enough as we now have a normal dog who is part of our family. I have 100% confidence that James can help improve yours and your dogs lives. Jon Bentley, The Westfield Pub, Bradford.
Hi, this is in relation to the ad for James Carroll, the dog Trainer, this guy is a dog wizard, he came to our house to train our 1 year old Labrador and he is absolutely fantastic, I cannot recommend him enough. Before this, our dog was boisterous and over-exciteable and had eaten 2 of our couches.. Now after one session of James’s help, Fudge is so different. James is not a scammer, he does exactly what it says on the tin. A big thank you from me and fudge. Dave Eckersley and Chocolate Labrador, Manchester (An ad placed on Gumtree website as a Thank You, in response to an advertisement on there)
Hi James, we're making progress as Sid slept in his own bed last night for the first time, and walked really well this morning with no pulling. Best of all when I went out of the house this morning he was quiet for the first time ever. We're both really enthusiastic about the training program and you've not only shown us what to do, but motivated us no end. Sarah Parr, Stockport
Hi James, Just wanted to say thank you so much for today, you were brilliant! I'm really looking forward to the training plan and putting it into practice! Thank-you again, you’re a star. Jo and Danny Burton, Droylsden
Hi James, just wanted to say thank you for your help and advice. You really helped with my confidence in handling Ghillie in what was a very a difficult situation for me, and your understanding of the affect my fear of dogs has on him. Your calm and reassuring manner helped me so much to control Ghillie far more that I thought I could, especially around another dog. Thank you Ruth Wilkinson, Lymm
I have a 4 year-old rescue Jack-Russell-Cross, named Sydney who had extreme dog-aggression issues. This then turned to humans (including myself!). Syd was very nearly sent back to the dogs-home as his aggression grew out of control and I became too frightened to be near him. After seeing James, Sydney began to co-operate and do things I asked. James was with me every step of the way with training tips and phone calls to help me, while I was in floods of tears. One year on and Syd is now a loving, caring and fun dog. He will walk away from other dogs with one command from me. I rarely use a lead (we now live in the country) and I know and trust him 100%, which I never thought possible. I have recommended James to various people and I will continue to do so, as he has turned our lives around. A very BIG thank-you!!!! Sarah and Sydney, Huddersfield
