CEO & Managing Director
Darren James
Darren James is the Managing Director of Royvon and has spent his life immersed in dog training, behaviour and canine care. Born at Royvon’s Merthyr Tydfil headquarters, he began training dogs from the age of 13 and quickly developed a reputation for helping dogs with complex behavioural challenges. Darren specialises in behaviour modification and rehabilitation, with a particular focus on helping anxious, reactive or misunderstood dogs feel safer and more confident in the world around them. His long term vision helped shape Royvon into one of the UK’s most recognised dog training and boarding companies, built around positive methods, structured care and meaningful relationships between dogs and their owners.
