Vislor Dog Training - Burton

Can't recommend Tom and Sharne, highly enough. We had tried one to one training with our dog Milo,with 2 different training companies, to no effect. Milo was pulling on the lead, he also jumped and nipped visitors. He would not listen to us at all. We did take a while to decide on the 3 week course ,we looked at the prices and were worried in case it didn't work, we needn't have worried. Tom and Sharne worked wonders with him,he is still our boy but better behaved. He settles when we have visitors and walks by my side. We couldn't have asked for more. He is also very good in his crate now,he no longer chews his bedding. We can't thank Tom and Sharne enough.

We cannot recommend Sharne and Tom highly enough. We had a holiday booked and were going to cancel until we heard about the 3 week training programme. Our littermate puppies Kobe and Coco went away when we did, we were kept updated with photographs and messages the whole time we were on holiday and the highlights of our days were updates on their progress. The puppies were in a lovely environment, a real home from home and came back to us completely happy and having learned to walk much better on their leads. Tom and Sharne have been so supportive with our learning to manage 2 puppies and have been on hand with advice and tips since they have come home. If you are in anyway unsure, don’t be - we are looking for another holiday soon and won’t hesitate to send our babies back to their second home. Paul and Paula Jones

We’ve taken a few months to write a review as we wanted to see if the training was a short term fix… I can honestly say the residential training was the best decision we’ve ever made! I only wish we had found Tom and Sharne sooner.What started off as random reactivity to people and dogs at around 18 months old become so frequent that it was impossible to enjoy a walk, we had tried various trainers but just ended up avoiding more and more situations. On a daily basis we were upset and frustrated.After meeting Tom and Sharne and asking lots of questions, we decided to go ahead with the 3 week boot camp whilst we were going on holiday in Jan/Feb 22. We were kept fully updated on Rodney’s progress during his 3 week stay and we were able to enjoy our holiday too without having to worry. We actually laughed at the progress videos of him walking around busy pavements looking relaxed, saying that can’t be our dog!We had a great handover session in which we were told how to continue the training. Once home, he still had occasional days where he pushed the boundaries but for the first time we were calm and confident knowing we had the tools to deal with any bumps. From here it has just gotten better and better, to the point that we are now on holiday with him walking around a busy town and on a beach and people are commenting on what a good boy he is. We wouldn’t have dreamt of doing this 6 months ago. I couldn’t be prouder of him!We’re back to enjoying walks and holidays and we are all relaxed and happier. We can’t thank you enough!

Firstly...congratulations on finding VISLOR and your answer to a happier life.Before we found vislor, our 10 month old golden retriever Paddington was out of control, he had no manners what so ever and it was impossible to walk him on a lead. He was pulling us over and causing injuries on walks, he had no recall so we were always so reluctant to loose him off. His walks were becoming progressively more dangerous, he would try lunging into traffic whilst walking on main roads, he would pull to get over to other dogs, and would not listen to us at all when trying to pull him away from distractions. He had no patience and would not sit when asked too. On one of his walks, I said to my sister I wish there was a boarding school for dogs to send them away for training!" We laughed it off

Hope is a beautiful girl; she came to us through a rescue centre. She was fine with us to begin with but slowly, very slowly she became very bad mannered.She developed guarding issues with my husband. She did not like to be apart from him and would whine and cry, it was heart-breaking.She began barking, snapping and snarling when someone approached him.She began pulling on her walks, I was finding it difficult to walk her, my husband is a strong chap, but she was even becoming difficult for him. When asked about her we would say “She pulls like a chuffing train”We tried a lot of different avenues, asked many people for ideas, watched videos and lots of programmes. All to no avail, then one day we received a text message from a family member with the link to “Vislor training”A whole new world opened to us. I read the website cover to cover, read all the reviews and even watched instructional videos that Vislor had produced and uploaded to the web.We talked about it for quite some time. Having our Hope go away for three weeks was a big thing in our lives, but if Vislor could help surely it would be worth it.We made contact and were directed to Tom and Sharne. We met up a week later and introduced Hope to them. She was true to form, so they had a good idea of what they were taking on. Tom and Sharne wanted to know what we were hoping to get out of the three weeks of “Bootcamp” for Hope. A better-behaved dog and one that doesn’t pull on the lead.Tom and Sharne made us feel relaxed about leaving Hope with them. They recognised that we were worried about leaving “our little girl” They talked us through the whole thing, assured us that they would stay in touch, and we would get regular updates. We took Hope on a little holiday and then she went to Tom and Sharne a week later. They were great, they could see how upset we were about leaving her, they gave us plenty of time to say goodbye, reassuring us that she would be well cared for. Everything about Tom and Sharne felt knowledgeable and professional, and we were right becauseStep back, this is a new dog.Tom and Sharne have done an amazing job with her. She is walking on a loose lead, she is paying attention to Tom, she is ignoring everything going on around her, she is following direction. We think we got more than we asked for and we are extremely grateful.We got to work with her before they gave her back, this showed us the work they had done with her and the work she had put into it.Hope has come on leaps and bounds. Yes, she still barks a bit at people passing the house. But on the lead, she ignores everything, its just us and her. We are still learning and Hope still tests us, but with a small correction she is back on track.We wasted so much time before we found Vislor and Tom and Sharne. Look no further your answer is here in the form of two very professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring people. Oh, and they fix your dog as well.What more could you ask for?

Couldn’t recommend Tom & Sharne more! They have completely changed our life and also our German Shepard’s life too. He’s completely different puppy but still so loving, he has so much more confidence in himself which helps us so much. The communication with Tom & Sharne was perfect, updates throughout the 3 week course & seeing his development was amazing for us and made us feel at ease. I can’t thank you enough!! I’ve attached a photo of Logan from the other day, this is the first time in a year I’ve been able to walk him on my own and feel in control. Life changing!

Would like to say a massive thank you to both tom and sharne for all there help and advice they have given us with Jess We will continue to implement the training they have provided and Done I would definitely be keeping in touch and sending them updates She has come back to us after the 3 weeks training camp a calmer and relaxed and most importantly she listens more and understands no when told no They have worked hard and there commitment with Jess shows. How much she has improved even hubby noticed the difference I would refer any one to them in the same situation we was in with our dog. She only young but it has se the foundation and we can progress with time. Thank you so much Happy Christmas and a wonderful new year to all involved with Jess and her training x

I cannot recommend Sharne and Tom highly enough. I have two Jack Russells and I was unable to walk them together for over a year. They were both highly reactive on walks when they saw other dogs and I was struggling to control them. My friend recommended Tom and Sharne to me, as she had similar issues with her dog. I booked my dogs in for the 3 week residential course with Tom and Sharne and it was the best thing I have ever done. They helped my one dog gain more confidence, and the other to stop being so protective over her. The transformation has been nothing short of mind blowing (which everyone who knew us before has commented on as well). Tom and Sharne kept us updated on their progress and sent lots of videos showing their improvement. We did a detailed handover session where they showed us how to implement the techniques they had taught the dogs. Since they returned to us, we’ve been keeping up the techniques and I have been able for the first time to walk my dogs together every day without any reactivity and without the usual fear and anxiety I had. The dogs enjoy the walks and are happy and so am I. The difference it has made to all of our lives is just incredible and I owe Tom and Sharne the world to have my happiness back for walking. The dogs are doing so well and I am so proud of them. If you have a reactive dog and walking is full of fear, book them in with Tom and Sharne. You’ll be so thankful you did!!! Thank you so much Tom and Sharne!!!!!!!!!! Xxxx

I can’t thank Tom & Sharne and highly recommend them enough, my 1 year old Lab which has anxiety issues and aggressive towards other dogs became unmanageable for me.After help from other trainers 1 to 1 I was getting nowhere, so I met up with Tom & Sharne. They said they could help and suggested the 3 week residential course, I knew I had to do it for Otis.They kept in touch with updates and videos with his progress, he was hard work for them to start with they had to get his trust but Sharne worked her magic.After 3 weeks I went for the handover and boy what a difference, lovely walking (not pulling) and totally engorging other dogs. He’s still very nervous out and about but I can walk him now without been dragged across the road and coming home in tears. Thanks again Tom and Sharne.

3 weeks with Vislor Dog Training and I can honestly say the positive impact this training and habit formation has had on our mini dachshund is life changing.Cooper, who's not had formal training in the past, having got him as a pup in lockdown in 2021, had started to form anxious tendencies, aggressive and protective behaviour towards other people or dogs on walks, and very territorial behaviour at home when visitors entered.This would lead to constant barking, lead pulling, and often if walking out in public around other dogs, nipping and biting, albeit not harmful as he's 30cm tall and weighs 5kg's.Sharne has totally decluttered and reprogrammed his anxious, busy mind. Giving him full clarity when walking and out in public, where his sole focus is obedience and pleasing you by following command.His temperament is drastically improved, being much calmer, at ease and evidently happier in himself.When we came to pick him up, it was clear Cooper and Sharne had formed a great bond, so we knew he'd been looked after and cared for dearly, something we had initially worried about beforehand, but Sharne has been an absolute star.We will send Cooper back to stay and follow up with more rehearsal and training when we next leave the UK for short trips, as it has been so valuable for us as a home unit, and he clearly loves his time there.5 star, I couldn't recommend Vislor Dog Training enough!
