The games are awesome!

The games are awesome and make a big difference in my dogs lives. I have a reactive boy that started me on this journey and have now added my new puppy. There are games for every issue you might have. Any questions, they have answers. Within days they help you. I appreciate when they show an untrained dog and then a finished dog. The community is very helpful and friendly.

Simply the BEST

Well where do I start? Quite literally Absolute Dogs has changed my life, given me a career with dogs, whom I love more than anything and combined with helping people and their relationship with their own pooches, it is an amazing win win. Everything I know, except cooking and Shakespeare, I have learnt and loved from Absolute Dogs, amazing games based learning, extraordinary coaching and fabulous trainers alongside the vivacious, contagiously positive, knowledgeable Lauren Langman and no I am not her Mother or her sister 🤣. It is part of life for me these days to log into Absolute Dogs and learn and practice more games, to learn and broaden my knowledge and to train our 9 month old poodle Fiji and our Lurcher Sydney. I literally feel that Lauren, Sam, Kev, Michelle, Samira and others are like family. The ASK team are amazing and the general customer service is superb. Have I said enough! I think I have! Please if you don’t believe me, try Absolute Dogs for yourself, to transform the lives of you and your dog and enjoy every second of the journey.

Very helpful!

I have taken several online courses with Absolute Dogs. Their training methods are all positive and focused on building the skills (both dog and human) to deal with real-life situations. My dog and I enjoy the games, and the learning has helped us on our journey. The community is very supportive also.

How great dog training should be done

The level of learning and detail is like no other.
I am on a pro dog trainer retreat and Lauren and all of her team have made this an absolutely unforgettable experience.
I’m so grateful to have found absolute dogs it is giving me the confidence to help not only my own naughty but nice little dog but also to go out and spread the word and help others with games based concept training.
Visiting in person with my dog has been just the best experience. The site is so well run and even with several dogs on the site it is so well managed that I never have to worry about my dog.
It’s inspiring me to be a better trainer for my dog and for clients and educating me at a whole new level on how to advocate for my dog and always set up for success.
I will definitely be visiting again to grow my knowledge further and would not hesitate to recommend absolute dogs as a centre of excellence on how good dog training should be done in the most positive way possible with tons of fun and laughter thrown in for good measure.

Technical Problems

I'll be generous and say it's not a scam, just technical incompetence. Subscribed last night, then the site broke during the transaction. Cleared cookies, and was able to login. The course I paid for is not shown when I login.

Emailed last night, no response/no course yet.

PayPal transaction went through.

Amazing learning for both you and your dogs!

I found Absolute Dogs in 2017 and have been training with them ever since and it has been amazing. As a Professional Trainer I've changed how I train others because of their focus on building one's relationship with your dog, supporting them to help them be successful while having fun together. I believe if anyone actually follows this program they can't help but see progress. If you want to join one of the most positive and supportive groups you'll ever come across try one of their courses. You'll be glad you did, as will your dog(s)!!!

The games work!

My dog-reactive dog just walked calmly past three other dogs. No squealing, no lunging, no looking back over his shoulder. Just one calm relaxed happy dog. There have been times when I never thought I’d see the day. Thank you absoluteDogs for helping me work with my dog with love, patience, kindness, and above all, with fun and laughter. I can honestly say that aD has transformed our lives.

All good now.

I ordered a book on the 30th of March. I checked my order status on my account and it says completed, but I haven't received it. This may be a problem with the courier or postal service, but I am out of pocket with no book. UPDATE: It was delivered to the wrong address by Royal Mail and I have it now.

A very positive attitude!

Their positive attitude to difficult dog training problems! They make you feel confident that you can help your dog overcome their problems and that you are not alone. The games really work too!

Double ended leads

Double ended leads
I LOVE them! The leads are biothane, I have a few made from other companies...the absoluteDogs leads are so much better:
1. the colours are super cool
2. the clips are really light
3. they are nice and soft
4. they don't slip when wet, and it has been raining a lot!
I will be saving up for some more as I only have 1 lead which I won and as so very grateful to have this lead, it is my absolute favourite, so much so that I want to walk the dogs individually so I can use only this lead!!! LOL

So much more than dog training

My name is Rupert and I love my training with Absolute Dogs!
My hooman has been playing games with me and learning how to help me feel more confident and happier about the world for quite a few years now and I love it!!! I find the world quite overwhelming. Other dogs scare me and I don't always know how to handle myself in the best way but my hooman has learned how to be my advocate and what situations I can cope with. We play games and I've learned loads of tricks which make me feel like a superstar and she's taught me how to use my super sniffer to search for food (food is life!!) and how to find a shiny little tin that smells a bit like whiffy feet, and how to find socks that she hides around the house. We have the best time and I know that because of Absolute Dogs she understands me and sees past my struggles and will keep on helping me the very best Rupert I can be! I figured she should probably write something too, so here we go...

From Karen: Absolute Dogs training is the best - because it's so much more than dog training. It's a supportive community. It's up to date, positive, fun training that works! Owning a reactive dog who struggles with other dogs, has BIG feelings about a lot of things and finds life quite challenging is hard. It can leave you feeling lost and isolated and wondering what you did wrong. Not only does games based training work, it helps you understand the WHY - why your dog finds things scary and overwhelming, why they go from 0 to orbit so quickly, and more importantly, why playing games that teach skills can be so powerful and transformative. And the amazing community means you have the support and understanding of other people who get it, and who want to see you succeed and celebrate when you do. Rupert and I have found our people and we're here to stay!

Absolute dogs…awesome

I have been using Absolute dogs products for some time now. The new biothane double ended lead is just brilliant, not too heavy, easy to clean and fab colours. I also love the treat bags, perfect size, also easy to clean out and hold a good size amount of food.
