Canine Karma Reviews 265

My reactive westiepoo and I cannot thank the entire Canine Karma team enough. Oliver and his team are so knowledgeable about dogs’ behaviour and psychology. Their passion and commitment to helping dogs and owners is tireless. We have been fortunate to take part in the monthly pack walks, weekly daycare pack walks and 1-1 training sessions. Canine Karma is so much more than dog training, being part of the CK community is a life changing experience for dogs and owners. I can’t thank them enough.

​We couldn't speak more highly of the team at Canine Karma! Kevyn didn't just train Loki; he trained our whole family so we are all completely aligned on rules across households.

On a pack walk, we met Georgia, their nutritionist, who provided invaluable guidance on managing Loki's diet and allergies, always checking in to see how he's doing.

​Seeing the incredible love and respect every dog receives here gave us the confidence to finally enroll Loki in daycare. Ella and Katy have been absolutely amazing taking care of our boy and sending us wonderful update photos. Loki literally cries on the way home because he wants to stay—that's how much he loves them! Highly, highly recommend.

After many weeks of research into service providers, I found exactly what I was looking for at Canine Karma. I’m quite a picky person and a bit of a fanatic pet parent. Ollie’s approach to my dog’s separation anxiety was genuinely transformative. What sets this service apart is his focus on relationships and dog psychology rather than just training behaviors, which honestly resonated with me deeply.

Here’s what really impressed me: we booked three sessions, but after the first one, our issue was basically solved. I reached out wondering if I could save the credits for later, and Ollie proactively offered to refund the remaining sessions. That’s very telling of their business ethos!

I care deeply about understanding my dog’s needs, and Ollie is truly one of the best people I’ve ever met at helping owners get there. If you’re someone who actually wants to understand the why behind your dog’s behavior and get a tailored solution rather than a one-size-fits-all fix, I think he’s the best person for that. He was incredibly patient and thoughtful every step of the way.

We left our 10month old Dobie in the kennels for a week and he loved every minute! They sent videos and pictures everyday and commented on how he was doing. This way they looked after us and the Dog at the same time as we had never left him begore.
Can’t recommend Canine Karma any higher than 5 Star or else I would, they provide brilliant Doggie Care !

Our dog loves staying here. He can be reactive with other dogs, but he has the best time playing, exercising and generally having fun! Always get regular updates and videos, which brings us peace of mind when we are away. Highly recommended.

My only concern sending Lenny to Canine Karma is that he won’t want to come home!! Everyone there is just amazing and more than just a substitute for mum! Lots of friends to play with, regular photos and videos of how happy Lenny is while we’re away …. It’s him having a holiday as much as us!! Would recommend to anyone 💙🫶

Our Boxer Monty has just stayed here for a second time. He has loved it both times. The staff know what they are doing, are devoted to animal care and the staffing ratios ensure all dogs are well looked after. They keep you in touch with how your dog is settling, any issues that may come up and send a steady supply of photos and videos of him enjoying himself. Equally if your dog is ill, Monty had the runs, they quickly let you know and sort it. I had Canine Karma recommended to me and in turn I would recommend them in a heart beat. The facilities are also superb with excellent kennels and exercise areas. There is loads of variety to occupy your dog and Monty slept a lot on his first day back with us. Absolutely superb.

Canine Karma always take such care of our dog Panda! He socialises with other dogs under professional supervision. He spends most of the day interacting with other dogs & going for walks & the friendly staff ensure he always has good manners & behaviour. We can leave him knowing that he is in good hands & will have a fun experience. All the staff are so welcoming & friendly.

Canine Karma are excellent. The staff are kind, caring and knowledgeable and they cater for each dog’s individual needs. I wouldn’t use anyone else to look after Finn, our slightly nervy three year old Labrador. Plenty of photos and videos and it’s clear to see how happy Finn is in all of them. Absolutely first class.

We have been working with Canine Karma since January and cannot recommend this company highly enough.

The 1-to-1 behavioural training we received from Oliver has completely transformed both our Spaniel and our confidence as owners. Imagine a dog that snarls at every passerby, that panics at the sound of a car driving past the house, who accompanies you everywhere (including to the loo) and who has tried to bite you, the postman and the Cane Corso/Mastiff cross down the road.

When Oliver arrived for our first training session we were at our wits end but quickly realised that we were in the hands of an expert. After just that first session we had the first building blocks towards a happier dog. Now after, 4 sessions the change in Yogi has been incredible.

We are relaxed and confident whenever we head out. Comfortable to have him off lead and let him explore. We can meet other dogs with confidence and even stop for a chat! In the house he no longer follows me everywhere and will even take himself off to his basket for a snooze.

The change in our lives has been incredible. Just a week ago, Yogi drove down to Italy with us, and he was wonderful the entire journey — calm, settled and happy throughout the 1000 mile journey.

As I write this he is quietly snoring in his basket after a long walk.

Oliver’s knowledge, patience and understanding have made such a difference to our lives. In short, a completely transformed Spaniel, and very grateful owners. Thank you!

Boarding for nervous Frenchie:
I have nothing but praise for the organisation and staff who managed my 6yr old nervous Frenchie - this is because they understand canine behaviour.
The Handlers - kept consistency and sent photos & videos daily. They also administered daily medication.
The Grounds - very green with specific socialising areas.
The Kennels - from the photos seem perfectly adequate for any dogs needs.
The Admin team - these were fantastic in response and organisation. Id like to thank: Chelsea, Becky, Geni, Kevyn, Connor and the rest of the team.

Thor always has the best time at Canine Karma! While we were on holiday we were inundated with videos and photos of Thor playing with all his doggy pals, the staff take such care and make a huge fuss of him. Thanks again!

I could not recommend Kevyn (trainer/behaviourist) enough! My 4 year old Labrador, Bea, was reactive towards other dogs and very nervous around strangers, something that had been getting worse as she got older. I had 5 sessions with Kevyn in which Bea was introduced to the dogs at the Bricket wood branch as well as the Kings Langley branch, which allowed to her socialise in a safe way around dogs that are well behaved, something that was important for me when looking for a trainer as I did not want Bea to be introduced to dogs that would make her reactiveness worse. After 5 sessions, Bea seemed to actually enjoy being around the other dogs as she was using her nose a lot more and even had a few wagging tail moments! Her confidence significantly grew from being this very anxious to a more confident dog! Kevyn was absolutely brilliant with her, he never pushed her to be in situations he knew she was not ready for and even built a connection with Bea to where she began to trust him - something that doesn’t come easily for her! I would recommend Kevyn and the whole team at Canine Karma to anyone struggling with behavioural issues with their dog as they truly know the way into a dogs mind and implement structure to allow them to feel safe and secure as well as providing me with invaluable tips to help her in the real world. Bea will definitely be attending the day care they offer as all the dogs are so well behaved and they have plenty of ways to help nervous dogs!!

We was told our reactive rescue dog was aggressive by another dog trainer. We took him to Canine Karma for an assessment. It tuned out, he’s not aggressive, he is extremely nervous and didn’t know how to be a dog. We had some initial training with Olly and have been sending him to daycare weekly for over a year now and its the best thing we ever did. He squeaks with excitement when we pull into the carpark. All the staff are amazing and i trust them all completely. We have been doing 1-2-1 training with Kevyn on and off for a quite a few months now. Theres been tears on my part a few times, but Kevyn has been amazing with me, patient and kind. Theres still some work to do but the difference is amazing. I can now take him on my own on the monthly pack walks without fear and dread of if he’s going to lunge, and take him out alone and enjoy walking him. I just wish we had known about Canine Karma, Olly and Kevyn when we first rescued him. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. They’ve literally changed our lives! We are so grateful for everything you’ve done. Thanks guys! Leanne, Jak & Buster x

Where do I start ! I must say a massive thank you to Kevyn @ canine karma, nothing was too much trouble and believe me like most dog owners I know we must of driven him mad with all our questions. He was a superstar and we can’t thank him enough for teaching us how to handle our two Little frenchies olive and Percy.
We also had socialisation lessons at the doggie day care which was also a great help.
We can now take them both out easily and have control walking on and off lead. THANK YOU KEVYN.

Another wonderful weekend stay for Copper he loves the staff and they love him I get plenty of pics and videos which lets me know he’s having a great time he always comes out happy and fulfilled and happy when he goes back great boarding would give 10 stars if I could their all amazing and certainly love their work 🐶❤️

Canine Karma are absolutely amazing. Bertie is so happy since the moment he arrives until he leaves . We straight away have the feeling of him being well loved and looked after by all the staff members. I will recommend :-)

They really are the best dog kennel around! Our dog always comes back happy and exhausted from all of the walks she gets!

They send photos of the dog everyday which is not always the case from our experience with other kennels. Highly recommend Canine Karma!

Always five stars , Marley had a great time and we got pupdates everyday which reassured me he was fine, despite his age.
I will always use and recommend Canine Karma for my dogs.

Once again, another lovely stay at Canine Karma! It’s one of those rare places where our dog is actually pulling on the lead to get in—which says it all.

We know she’s well cared for and has a fabulous time, as she comes home exhausted from all the fun she’s had with the other dogs. It’s great socialisation, and it’s so reassuring to see it through the daily photos and videos the team shares. It means we’re able to fully relax on holiday knowing she’s in such safe hands.

Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby!
