Training for Barking Dogs
Excessive barking is a commonissue fordogs, often disrupting the household peace. At Royvon, we tackle this challenge with effective training methods designed through decades of trial and error.
Our approach aims to reduce unwanted excessive barking by teaching your dog alternative communication strategies, resulting in a quieter and more peaceful home environment.
So, don’t wait; let’s discuss how we can help your furry friend improve their character.
Signs of Excessive Barking – How to Know If Your Dog Barks Too Much?
Excessive barking usually signals various underlying issues, such as attention-seeking, fear, aggression, defensiveness, possessiveness, and more. It’s crucial to understand the context behind this behaviour so we can adopt effective training measures.
Dogs may bark excessively in various scenarios, each with its own set of triggers and underlying causes.
Common Barking Triggers Include
- Unexpected noise – Many dogs instinctively bark at the sound of doorbells or the arrival of guests, acting as an alert system.
- Environmental stimuli – Specific sounds like thunder, fireworks, or construction noise can provoke a barking response.
- The sight of unfamiliar people or animals – Visual stimuli, such as people walking by the window or animals crossing their line of sight, often trigger barking.
- Insufficient exercise and mental stimulation – In the absence of companionship or adequate mental and physical stimulation, dogs may bark to express their discontent.
- Protective instinct – Dogs naturally protect their territory and loved ones, barking at perceived threats or intruders.
Why Choose Royvon’s Training Programmes for Barking Dogs?
Choosing Royvon for barking dog training is a trust in our expertise, which we take very seriously. To manage this specific issue, we offer a personalised approach tailored to every dog – because no dog is the same.
At Royvon, we offer tailored training programs catering to diverse client schedules, requirements, and your dog’s unique needs.Whether you opt for our residential dog training for intense training or prefer the flexibility of non-residential dog training, we’re equipped with tons of experience to deliver lasting results.
Our comprehensive dog training courses are accessible at both of our well-established locations in Esher and Merthyr Tydfil, ensuring convenience for all our clients. Our commitment to a personalised approach guarantees that your dog receives the most effective training to curb excessive barking and promote a peaceful home environment.
Root Causes of Excessive Barking
- Boredom and loneliness – Dogs lacking regular physical activity and mental challenges are prone to express their frustration and excess energy through barking.
- Anxiety disorders – Some dogs suffer from anxiety disorders, such as separation anxiety or generalised anxiety disorder, which can lead to excessive barking as a symptom of their distress.
- Socialisation deficits – Dogs that haven’t been adequately socialised may bark excessively out of fear or aggression towards unfamiliar people, animals, or situations due to their inability to appropriately interpret and react to social cues.
- Learned behaviour – Excessive barking can also stem from learned behaviour, where dogs have been inadvertently rewarded for barking in the past, reinforcing the behaviour as a way to gain attention or rewards.
- Hidden health issues – Excessive barking may be linked to underlying health problems, such as hearing loss, brain ageing in senior dogs, or conditions causing discomfort or pain, leading dogs to bark more than usual
Taking time to monitor your dog’s behaviour can help you understand where the problems stem from and determine if your dog is exhibiting unusual behaviours. If any of the previously mentioned issues apply to your case, please don’t wait; contact our experts, and let’s discuss how we can help!
How Does Barking Training Work?
At Royvon, our barking dog training revolves around force-free, reward-based techniques that encourage quiet behaviour and provide dogs with alternative ways to express themselves.
Understanding that excessive barking is often a form of communication, our training focuses on identifying the underlying reasons behind the barking and addressing them directly.
We reinforce calm and silent behaviours by engaging in games and activities that result in prizes such as treats, praise, or play. This ensures that dogs associate quietness with positive outcomes and rewards.
This method helps significantly reduce unwanted barking and strengthens the bond between you and your dog, creating a harmonious living situation. By implementing these force-free techniques with precise timing and consistency, we guide your dog towards more appropriate forms of communication, fostering a tranquil and happy household.
My daughter came across the residential training program at Royvon when searching for more training for our young Border Collie rescue Maysie ......as our last resort. We had tried various trainers and an animal behaviourist but nothing seemed to work well with her. To be honest none of the trainers would come near her because she was so reactive towards them, lunging barking and trying to nip or bite. We had resorted to using a muzzle whenever anyone came into the house and keeping her in a separate room or on a leash. At home with us she is very loving and affectionate but just a knock at the door or anyone walking or driving past the house can send her into a barking frenzy jumping up aggressively at the door or window. She was also reactive to almost everything outside - dogs, cats, children, people, cars, bikes and could lunge and bark aggressively without any warning. She could be so unpredictable that we were just constantly prepared for bad behaviour and if she was good then that was just an added bonus.
We dropped Maysie off for her initial assessment with Romeo all muzzled up to be safe. We spent approx an hour and a half with him, walked through his training routes including the town, playing fields and railway station. We watched some of the training techniques he would be using and then we left her there looking very sorry for herself. Within an hour of us leaving Romeo sent a video through of them both and Maysie was eating treats out of his hand - muzzle free.....we were absolutely gobsmacked! We visited again the 3rd day for a training seasion and then left her there for her residential. We received daily updates, photos and videos from the Royvon Team showing how she was improving and also enjoying additional playtime and socialisation with some of the other dogs.
When we returned to Royvon we had a 3 hour handover session with Romeo walking again through his training route. We were able to see how much Maysie had improved since our first visit and tried some of the techniques ourselves with guidance from Romeo. We then a further couple of hours with him again the following day before returning home with Maysie.
We have definitely seen positive improvements in her behaviour since she has been in training with Romeo and cared for by the Royvon team. She seemed to have taken really well to everybody there and had been giving them all her special Maysie cuddles by the time she left.
Over our first week at home we have been continuing to incorporate the training we have learned into our walks. It has been a bit of a challenging week transitioning back to home life but we are committed to putting the work in and Romeo has been keeping in touch with his invaluable guidance and support.
We have a follow up session booked in at the beginning of July and are confident that with the tools, guidance and additional support from Romeo and that Maysie will continue to improve and that these new behaviors she is learning will just become natural for her.
Romeo is undeniably passionate about his dogs in his care. He genuinely wants to achieve a positive outcome for both dogs and their owners. His professionalism, knowledge, understanding and empathy shown towards Maysie and his ongoing follow up support for ourselves has been nothing short of amazing. We can't thank Romeo and the Royvon team enough and look forward to returning back to visit in July.

Response from the owner:Dear Julia,
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt and detailed experience—it means the world to us! Reviews like yours truly help other dog owners navigate important decisions for their beloved companions, especially when they’re feeling unsure or at a loss for where to turn.
Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious or reactive, like Maysie, is especially meaningful to us at Royvon. We understand how few professionals are equipped with the skills and knowledge to help in these situations, and that’s exactly why we’ve committed ourselves to a bespoke, compassionate approach that respects each dog’s individual needs. To see Maysie go from being muzzled and fearful to offering her signature cuddles to the team is exactly why we do what we do.
We’re incredibly proud of Romeo for the care, dedication, and expertise he showed in building trust with Maysie. Your recognition of his professionalism, empathy, and continued support will mean a great deal to him personally. Our entire team is driven by love, commitment, and respect—for both the dogs in our care and their families—and knowing that Maysie felt safe and happy with us reassures us that we're on the right path.
We’re also grateful that you travelled all the way from Sunderland to Surrey to work with us—that level of trust and commitment doesn’t go unnoticed. We’re delighted to hear that you’ve been able to implement the training at home and that you’re staying consistent, even through the challenges. It’s this partnership between our team and committed owners like yourself that truly makes the difference.

Thanks to Chloe for looking after Willow in her settlement stay, she is a nervous 10 month old pup and you really helped her settle. We are now confident enough to book her in for a week.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Wendy, for taking the time to share your lovely review—it truly helps other dog owners make the right choices for their pups, and we’re so grateful.
Supporting dogs like Willow, who can sometimes feel nervous, is especially close to our hearts at Royvon. We understand how limited the support often is for these unique needs, so we’re incredibly proud that our team—especially Chloe in this case—can provide the bespoke care that helps dogs think differently about their environment. Your kind words mean a great deal to Chloe personally, and it’s wonderful to know her dedication helped Willow feel safe and secure.
We're thrilled to hear you're now confident to book her in for a longer stay. Thank you again for choosing Royvon. We look forward to welcoming both you and Willow back very soon!
As a family business, we’re always working to improve our service by doing more of what works well—your feedback is invaluable in helping us do just that. 💙🐾
An amazing place. We are treated as part of the family. Romeo has worked with our overanxious and highly reactive German shepherd Hugo. As owners the transformation has been far more than we could have hoped for. Hugo will always be a work in progress, but he is so much happier and less anxious and reactive than he was. Romeo is highly skilled and a highly experienced trainer, he uses his tools and techniques and knowledge of dog behaviour to help dogs like Hugo. Romeo also helps us with training and moving on to obedience training. Romeo treats his dogs with kindness and with compassion. There are no harsh techniques just reward based training, by understanding each dog in his charge. Hugo is a much happier dog and we are much happier owners. Hugo has had 13 week training session with Romeo and the extra lessons that come with the training session on a weekly or monthly basis, we've also put Hugo in for boarding and some extra training. Also found his new best friend in Kelsey one of the other trainers. He loves her to bits and responds very well to her. I cannot recommend highly enough Royvon. The consequences of not finding royvon would have been very grave indeed and I thank Romeo, Kelsey, Darren and the team for helping Hugo live a better life and consequently us as well. Donna and Moreno and Hugo
Response from the owner:Dear Donna, Moreno, and of course Hugo,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It means the world to all of us at Royvon, and it truly helps other dog owners make informed decisions about what’s best for their own beloved dogs.
I recall vividly our initial call together—the dire circumstances you were facing and the weight of the veterinary and police recommendations concerning Hugo. I knew then that we needed Romeo to meet Hugo as his final chance, and I had every confidence in Romeo’s ability to work with dogs who need help thinking differently about their environment. Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious or highly reactive is especially close to our hearts at Royvon, because we know how limited the available help can be. Romeo, Kelsey, and the team are specially trained to offer the bespoke support that dogs like Hugo need to thrive.
It brings us all immense joy to hear of Hugo’s transformation—how much happier, calmer, and more confident he has become, and how that has brought more peace and joy to your family as well. Romeo is a truly skilled and compassionate trainer, and your kind words about his approach and expertise mean a great deal to him personally. We’re also so touched to hear that Kelsey has become Hugo’s new best friend—what a special bond they’ve built together!
Thank you for trusting us with Hugo, for your commitment to his journey, and for becoming part of the Royvon family. We're so pleased that our values of love, commitment, and respect have been reflected throughout your experience with us. We are always striving to improve our service by doing more of what works well and learning from every bit of feedback we receive—so your words help us grow as a family business.
We can’t wait to see Hugo again soon and continue supporting you every step of the way.
With heartfelt thanks,
Darren and the Royvon Team 🐾
It’s the third time we’ve left Alfie at Royvon Esher. This time he had some medical issues prior to his stay. I checked with Royvon that they would be happy to incorporate medicine and specific requests regarding exercise and they were happy to help. Alfie loves his time there and races off when we get there. I love the daily photos we receive and also the updates on what he’s been up to. We miss him so much when he’s away but it’s also good to know he’s in a safe place with care and comfort. Thanks guys , you’re all great

I would just like to say another big thank you to the wonderful team at Royvon Esher.
Especially Tilly, Millie and Ella who looked after my German Shepherd Ralphy. It was so clear to see how loving, caring and attentive you all were with him … it truly made a difference.
When I got home, he was relaxed, happy and clearly well looked after. It’s a huge comfort knowing he’s in such good hands.
Thank you again for all the love you gave him.

I can not recommend Royvon enough! This has been a great experience. Pablo had the 21 day residential training with Romeo. The constant update that we were receiving and how happy Pablo seemed was amazing. The support after we picked Pablo up from Romeo was fantastic. We are definitely happy to come back for the boarding experience. The peace we felt leaving Pablo with Romeo was amazing. So grateful for the support that Romeo has given us during and after our visit.

Charlie worked with chilli on his recall and walking on a lead without pulling, the results are pretty impressive on a very short time. I am definitely more confident on letting him of leash in the park now, as I trust him to come to me when I want him to….

I can’t say enough good things about the Royvon Playhouse Bridgend. The team always welcome my dog to daycare by name which makes me feel completely at ease. They’re warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog, Oreo, always runs right in with his tail wagging every morning as he’s so excited — that says everything!
I love getting the daily photo updates and seeing him playing with his friends. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in a safe and stimulating environment while I’m at work.
Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for peace of mind and a tired, happy dog at the end of the day!

We're so grateful you chose Royvon to be a part of Oreo's life.
Welcoming Oreo to daycare each day is an absolute joy for our team at Royvon Playhouse Bridgend. It’s heartwarming to hear how at ease you feel when dropping him off — that warm welcome by name is just one way we express the love, commitment, and respect we feel for each dog in our care. Seeing Oreo bound in with excitement is the best endorsement we could ask for!
We’re so glad you enjoy the daily photo updates. Our goal is always to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment where dogs like Oreo can thrive, socialise, and return home happy and content. The fact that he ends each day tired and fulfilled is exactly what we aim for.
Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We truly appreciate you being part of the Royvon family and we can’t wait to see you and Oreo again soon!

Our three year old cane corsa hadn’t been socialised and couldn’t walk in public when she arrived in the uk in November. After trying and failing to make her a happy and well adjusted dog by ourselves, we reached out to Royvon about their residential training.
Olive has just completed her three weeks intense training and it’s like we’ve brought home a different dog. Not only is she calmer in the house, but we can now walk her without her being petrified of every noise and person that comes near her. She’s even just walked the school run with me.
Romeo and the team at Royvon have been a godsend to us, and we can’t wait to see how much further they can help Olive grow into a much loved happy and confident family pet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share Olive’s journey – your words mean the world to us and to other dog owners trying to decide what’s right for their own four-legged family members.

We know how limited the support can be for these individual needs, which is why our team is so passionate about providing bespoke care that helps each dog think differently about their world. It’s incredibly special to hear that Olive is now calmly joining you on the school run – that’s a huge milestone, and we’re so proud of her progress.
Romeo and the team will be thrilled to hear how much of a difference their love, commitment, and respect for Olive’s individual journey has made. Your feedback will mean a great deal to them personally.
We truly appreciate you choosing Royvon and trusting us with Olive’s development. We can’t wait to welcome you all back and continue supporting Olive as she grows into the happy, confident companion she was always meant to be.

I have a reactive GSD X Mali, Hunter. he’s absolutely gorgeous just not initially friendly, taking hunter to the kennels is already an unpleasant experience with feeling guilty leaving him and then obviously the constant worry while i’m away of how he’s getting on, is everyone ok, has he had a bad turn.
I found royvon by sheer chance and it’s changing our lives. The staff were from the very first contact to his stays now so comforting and reassuring, seeing my obvious nerves about Hunters behaviour Chloe especially gave me all the time in the world, listening to my ever ending knowledge dump about hunter, why’s he’s like this, triggers, how once he’s settled he’s lovely and since the day of his confidence stay i’ve not looked back. dropping him off to strangers which is absolutely my worst fear with a reactive dog and they set such an energy he’s excited to leave me and settles in so happily. I get regular updates of how he is, what he’s doing, anything they want to tell me and it is just the best thing to open my phone to. i get photos and videos of walks and play, updates on his eating.
from someone who suffers constantly stress of a dog with behavioural issues, this is the absolute best care i’ve had for him hands down. i can’t thank the Esher team enough, especially his main handler chloe for the time and patience they give us

We would highly recommend the Royvon team. We have recently started to use them for boarding our very stubborn, and particular Chow Chow. The team there have been incredibly helpful, patient, kind and understanding. We had bad experiences with kennels before and our experience with Royvon is second to none. Great facilities, very professional staff and they treat each dog as an individual. They are willing to work with dogs, such as chow chows, that other places wouldn’t even consider. If you really want a home away from home with caring, professional and great team members look no further! Especially big thanks to Chloe as she has been integral to our dogs integration into the kennel.
Response from the owner:Dear Christopher,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience – your kind words mean the world to us and help other dog owners make informed decisions about what’s right for their own dogs.
Supporting dogs like your very special Chow Chow, who may be more particular or misunderstood, is something we’re especially proud of at Royvon. We believe every dog deserves love, commitment, and respect, and it’s our mission to provide bespoke support that allows each individual dog to feel safe, understood, and confident in their environment. Chow Chows can sometimes be overlooked, so to be trusted with your companion’s care truly means a lot to us.
It’s wonderful to hear that Chloe made such a positive impact – we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to her. Your feedback will mean so much to her personally and to the whole team, who are dedicated to improving every day by doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t.
We’re so grateful you chose Royvon after your previous experiences, and we look forward to welcoming you and your Chow Chow back soon. Our entire team is here for you every step of the way.
Warmest wishes,

We recently had my German Shepherd Flo put into training over a three week period for reactivity and obedience training on short lead and long lead walks. Romeo has done an incredible job working with Flo working on her behaviour around other dogs in public, at dog parks or walking down the street already there has been a massive improvement. All staff at Royvon are incredible and very kind but Romeo has gone above and beyond to help train Flo. Training is still ongoing but so far I can say her behaviour has improved greatly.
Response from the owner:Hi Ben,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Flo’s training journey at Royvon! We’re incredibly grateful for your feedback — reviews like yours truly help other dog owners make the best decisions for their own dogs, especially when looking for support with reactivity and obedience.
It’s wonderful to hear that Romeo has made such a positive impact already. He’ll be absolutely thrilled to hear your kind words — it means a lot to him personally, and to all of us here. At Royvon, we’re committed to treating every dog with love, respect, and the bespoke care they need, and it’s especially special for us to work with dogs like Flo who show reactivity. We know how limited proper support can be for dogs with these needs, so we’re proud that our experienced team can offer the tailored help they deserve to change how they feel about the world around them.
We’re so pleased that you’re already seeing a big improvement, and we’re excited to continue supporting Flo’s progress. Thank you again for choosing Royvon — we look forward to seeing you both again soon! Your feedback helps us grow as a family business, continuing to do more of what works well for dogs and their owners.

This was coco’s first visit to Royvon. Romeo trained our previous dog for many years. We would not leave Coco anywhere else but Royvon. Royvon is a special place that really looks after dogs in such an amazing way. We recommend it to all our doggy friends. Coco learnt basic puppy obedience, walking on the lead, recall, socialised with other puppies of a similar age and had an absolute ball during her holiday. She can’t wait to return for more training later in the summer and hopefully show off all her new skills to Romeo! Bravo Royvon and especially Romeo who is a truly exceptional dog trainer. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Dear Claire,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review and for taking the time to share Coco’s first experience with us at Royvon. Your words truly mean the world—not just to us as a family business, but also to other dog owners who are looking to make the right choice for their beloved companions.
It’s incredibly special to welcome Coco to Royvon, especially knowing that Romeo supported your previous dog for so many years. Your continued trust in us is the highest compliment we could receive. Romeo will be over the moon to read your kind words—he is deeply passionate about what he does, and your feedback will mean a great deal to him personally.
We’re so pleased to hear Coco had a fantastic time—learning her obedience foundations, enjoying lead walks, recall training, and of course, making new puppy friends! At Royvon, we’re guided by our core values of love, commitment, and respect, and it's wonderful to know that this shone through in Coco's stay.
Thank you for recommending us to your dog-loving friends and for choosing Royvon once again. We can’t wait to welcome you and Coco back later this summer and see all the progress she’s made—especially when she gets to proudly show Romeo how far she’s come!
As always, your feedback helps us continue doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t. It really supports us in our mission to offer the very best service possible.
With sincere thanks,
The Royvon Team 🐾

Excellent facilities and staff. Really good communication with daily updates and pictures whilst we were away. All the staff clearly love working with dogs and were a pleasure to deal with. We have a large bull breed x mastiff with a lot of energy and they were absolutely brilliant with him. We will definitely use these guys again. Ed

Looking forward to seeing you both again!
Warm regards,

Romeo has been incredible with my two rescue pups.The transformation has been incredible and they absolutely adore him! Having a reactive dog can be soul destroying- but Romeo has taken the time to train me as much as the dogs, taking into account what I want, my schedule and giving me tools that have increased my confidence in handling two energetic dogs. And the rest of team Royvon have been brilliant - making myself and the dogs feel at home (including in the office- pictured). It’s a process, but I have gone from being overwhelmed, terrified (after someone threatened to shoot my dogs because they barked at him) and alone, to feeling supported and more confident with every session.
Response from the owner:Dear Becky,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your journey — your words will mean the world to other dog owners facing similar challenges, and they truly help people make informed decisions about what’s right for their own dogs.
Your story captures everything we stand for at Royvon: love, commitment, and respect. We're so proud to hear about the incredible transformation your two rescue pups have made with Romeo. He’ll be absolutely thrilled to know how much his support has meant to you — both in building your dogs’ confidence and in empowering you as a handler. The fact that they adore him is the best kind of endorsement!
It also means a great deal to us that you felt welcomed and supported by the rest of the Royvon team. Creating a safe, caring space — whether it’s on the training field or in the office — is something we value deeply, and it’s lovely to hear that you and the pups felt truly at home with us.
We’re so grateful that you chose Royvon to be part of your journey. Knowing that we've helped shift you from feeling overwhelmed and alone to empowered and supported is exactly why we do what we do. As a family business, we’re always looking to improve — doing more of what brings positive change, and less of what doesn’t. Your feedback is an essential part of that mission.
We can't wait to welcome you and your dogs back again soon — the office gang will be ready with cuddles!
Warmest regards,

We brought our Female French Bully to Royvon for training when she was 9 months old. We were having real difficulty finding the right match and felt our pup needed serious engagement as opposed to a dog walker /someone less qualified so we turned to the Pros! Orphy was immediately taken with Charlie who trained and looked after her for 3 weeks straight. It was very hard to leave her knowing we wouldn’t see her for nearly a month but Charlie was warm and kind and the office staff were thoughtful and supportive as I blubbed in the parking lot! Charlie and Orphy worked together to such a high standard and the office staff kept us updated on Orphy’s welfare while Charlie sent messages and photos/videos of Orphy’s training progress every couple of days which we really appreciated! Orphy came back to us a much less anxious and agitated puppy who clearly learned a lot and continues to retain the information/commands.
When we went back for our top up session, Orphy was super excited to drive through the gates and could not wait to get out of the car! We did about an hour with Charlie, going over techniques to keep Orphy interested and help us with her ongoing training while she’s at home. The refresher appointments are a nice touch and definitely worthwhile!
We absolutely recommend Royvon and are so grateful to have found them!

Response from the owner:Dear Jenna,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience — it means the world to us! Reviews like yours not only help other dog owners feel confident in making the best choices for their pups, but they also remind us why we do what we do.
We're thrilled to hear that Orphy connected so well with Charlie — he will be absolutely delighted to know that his care, kindness, and commitment made such a lasting impact on both you and your lovely Frenchie. Charlie takes great pride in developing strong bonds with the dogs he trains, and feedback like yours really does mean a lot to him personally.
It’s always hard saying goodbye, even temporarily, so we’re especially touched that you felt supported by our office team during that emotional drop-off. Love, commitment, and respect are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s wonderful to know those values came through clearly during your experience with us.
Knowing Orphy returned to you a calmer, more confident pup — and that she was so excited to come back for her refresher — is the greatest reward we could ask for. We’re so pleased you found the follow-up session with Charlie helpful, and we agree: keeping training fresh at home is such an important part of long-term success.
Thank you for choosing Royvon, Jenna. We truly appreciate your trust in us, and we can't wait to welcome you and Orphy back again soon! Your feedback helps us continue growing as a family business — doing more of what works well, and always striving to make each experience better than the last.

Loosing my confidence with my beautiful German Shepherd due to my neighbour telling me to get rid of him was devastating. My son and I searched the country for the right place to get some help. Royvon became our top choice from reviews and awards. I didn’t really know what to expect and certainly didn’t expect my German Shepherd to last a night in kennels having never been away from home before. The first assessment with Romeo immediately instilled confidence and the most amazing sense of relief. In fact I couldn’t believe it was my dog on the assessment! We left filled with positivity and excited that Apollo would spend three weeks at Royvon with a great team who really care. Romeo is so committed to his role and this is shown in every aspect of Apollo’s training and in keeping us informed. We received daily updates, by video twice a day and by photos as updates. I never once felt I needed to call, even though I knew I could. Romeo was confident from the outset that Apollo would be fine in the kennels and well looked after and integrated. Romeo a magnificent dog whisperer bonded with Apollo immediately. I loved watching Apollo’s progress and seeing him so engaged and happy. As the weeks went by I missed this massive part of my life but my confidence was growing too as I watched how Apollo learned new behaviours. It was amazing picking Apollo up and taking part in a very important 2 hour hand over. I, like Apollo, listened to everything Romeo said. We are also looking forward to another follow up session next week. After our first night back at home we received a lovely message from Romeo checking in on Apollo and some friendly advice. Romeo quite obviously has a very special gift that he couples with incredibly dedicated work. 🙏thank you Romeo you have changed our lives. Thank you to the team at Royvon, your kindness, calmness and care is evident in all you are doing. I never thought any of this was possible and how grateful I am that it is. Thank you. Zofia and Apollo.
Response from the owner:Dear Zofia,
Thank you so much for your deeply moving review and for taking the time to share your experience—feedback like yours means the world to us and truly helps other dog owners across the UK make informed, confident decisions for their own beloved companions.
We are in awe of the dedication you showed in travelling across the country to ensure Apollo received the care and support he needed. That level of love and commitment is something we cherish deeply at Royvon, and we are honoured you chose to trust us with Apollo’s journey.
Your words about your experience with Romeo are especially touching. He will be overjoyed to hear how much his support meant to you and how much of an impact he’s had on your lives. His commitment, empathy, and natural connection with dogs like Apollo are a testament to everything we believe in at Royvon—love, commitment, and respect for every individual dog and their family.
We’re so proud of Apollo’s progress and of the confidence you’ve regained as a result. Watching that transformation and being a part of your journey is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for noticing the small things too—the regular updates, the calm and care from our team, the follow-up contact—all of this is part of our ongoing effort to continuously improve and offer a service that truly makes a difference.
We can’t wait to welcome you and Apollo back for your follow-up session and in the future. Until then, please know how grateful we are that you entrusted us with Apollo’s care. It’s been a joy to support you both.
With warmest wishes,
The Royvon Family 🐾
I'm so happy to see my lovely boy benefiting from the behavior modification program here. After some negative experiences in the past, I’ve never seen him so comfortable with a trainer — except for Romeo. Now, we can finally go out in public without having to avoid busy times. This photo was taken while we were enjoying a lovely brunch at a café!
Response from the owner:Hi Christine,
Thank you so much for sharing this heartwarming update — it means the world to us! We're so glad to hear that your lovely boy is thriving with the Behaviour Modification Program, and it’s truly special to know he feels so at ease with Romeo.

We’re especially delighted to hear that you’re both able to enjoy everyday experiences like a café brunch without worry. That’s exactly the kind of transformation we hope for — helping families enjoy life with their dogs through love, commitment, and respect.

Well what can I say? What I can say is the professionalism of Alize the dog trainer is second to none. I have had much more success with this young lady than all the other trainers put together. My dog couldn't go within a mile of other dogs, but after only 5 to 6 one hour training with Alize and he is ignoring other dogs. i an now walk him where other dogs may be. I sat and had a coffee last week for the first time without him going ballistic on the sight of other dogs. I spent over £2,000 getting him trained for a full 2 month in Devon. Alize done more in a handful of 1 hour sessions than they done in 2 months. If your looking for a trainer that actually cares about animals, a facility that is well equipped top board dogs. My dog is living proof, that with the correct trainer they can change for the better. Then please give Royvon a try, you can thank me later.
Response from the owner:Dear Kevin,
Thank you so much for your incredible review—it honestly means the world to us! We’re so pleased to hear about the transformation you’ve seen in your dog, and your kind words will truly help other owners make informed decisions about what’s right for their dogs too. Your story is a powerful reminder of the love, commitment, and respect we aim to bring to every training journey here at Royvon.
Alizé will be absolutely over the moon to read this. She puts her heart into everything she does, and knowing the positive impact she’s had on both you and your dog will mean so much to her personally. We’re so proud to have her on the team and thrilled that her training approach has been so effective for your dog—especially after everything you tried previously. To hear you’re now enjoying coffee outings without stress is just amazing!
We did notice that your review was posted under Royvon Esher, but as you’ve been working with Alizé at Royvon Playhouse (Bridgend), it would be fantastic if you could copy your review over to our Royvon Playhouse Google page too. That way, future customers looking specifically for help in Bridgend can benefit from your experience.
Thank you again for choosing Royvon—we’re so glad to have been part of your journey and we look forward to welcoming you both back very soon.

We’re really pleased with the service from Royvon. Our trainer Romeo was brilliant. He helped to build our dog Buddy’s confidence and obedience on the behaviour modification programme.
We want to say a huge thank you to Romeo, Kelsey, and the entire care team at Royvon. You took amazing care of Buddy, giving daily updates of his training sessions and group plays, which really helped to put our minds at ease. Buddy has built a lovely bond with Romeo and the team, and I’m sure he will look forward to any day plays there in the future.

We took our young German Shepherd puppy in to Royvon for training with Kelsey and Romeo.
Jasper was extremely reactive to just about everything, including people, dogs and traffic.
Through a lot of hard work, we have made so much progress with Romeo and Kelsey. They have really gone above and beyond to try and make him more manageable, and what a difference it’s made.
He is still reactive, mainly to dogs, but he can do so much more now. As with any German Shepherd puppy, we still have lots of work to do, but we believe we now have the tools to succeed thanks to Royvon.
We will still be coming back as Jasper has built a stone bond with both of his trainers, but we thoroughly recommend Royvon for anyone struggling with a difficult dog, or just a dog that needs training!

We have used Royvon for a few years now for our Boxer dog, Dexter. Initially we chose Royvon based on reputation and proximity to work - for kennel cover when we go away, rather than for behaviour modification. We would absolutely recommend Royvon as the staff, both those with the dogs and those who are more behind the scenes (admin etc) are fantastic - in a nutshell, they love dogs. Dexter is always delighted to see them and runs in happily when we drop him off. The team have been flexible when we need to change an occasional date (stuck at airport overnight!) and, when Dexter was under specific medication, they administered it without question.
When we are away, we appreciate all the photos and comments about Dexter’s day! We are using you again next month! Thank you!

Response from the owner:Hi Simon,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means the world to us that you've trusted Royvon with Dexter’s care over the years. It’s always a joy to have him stay with us, and knowing he’s happy and excited to come through our doors makes our work so rewarding!
Our team—both those hands-on with the dogs and those working behind the scenes—are dedicated to ensuring every dog gets the best possible experience, and your kind words about their commitment and flexibility will mean so much to them. We’re also glad that the updates and photos bring you peace of mind while you're away.
We really appreciate you choosing Royvon time and time again, and we look forward to welcoming Dexter back next month! Please let us know if there’s anything extra we can do to make his stay even more special.
Best regards,
The Royvon Team 🐾
We’ve been fans of Royvon since our pup first boarded there at 8 months. The team has become an important part of our lives with their reliable, professional and friendly canine care. Although he’s a generally well behaved dog, he picked up some snappy behaviours with other hounds aged around 3. Royvon stepped in last year to give us guidance and help change some of our routines to make a huge improvement in our little dog’s behaviour. Thanks especially to Mimi for her patience and specialist understanding of what makes dogs tick. Happy dogs make happy owners - Mimi and all the team at Royvon have really helped us. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words—it means the world to us that you’ve been part of the Royvon family since Bertie was just 8 months old. Knowing that our team has become such a valued and trusted part of your lives is exactly what we strive for.
We’re so glad we could support you when Bertie began showing those snappy behaviours. With love, commitment, and respect at the heart of everything we do, it’s a real joy to hear how much of a difference the guidance made.
A special thank you from Mimi—your recognition of her patience and understanding will mean so much to her personally. She, like all of us, is deeply committed to helping dogs and their families live their happiest lives.
And while we don’t officially have favourites (we really do love all our guests!), if we had a team-wide vote… we think Bertie might just take the lion’s share! He’s such a lovely boy, and we truly adore him.
Thank you again for choosing Royvon. Your feedback helps us keep improving and reminds other dog owners of what’s possible. We can’t wait to welcome you and Bertie back soon!
Our little dog just loves his time at Royvon, whether that’s boarding or as a day visitor.
Dogs and their owners get a warm, professional welcome from Ioana &. Joanna, and our dog has a packed day being looked after by Leanne’s wonderful team of kind, experienced canine carers.
The whole team is a credit to Royvon’s owners, we feel lucky to have them as our trusted home from home for a special member of our family!

We’re so happy to hear how much Bertie enjoys his time with us, whether it’s for a day visit or a longer stay. It’s always our goal to create a safe, enriching, and loving environment, and knowing that Royvon feels like a trusted home-from-home for him is the highest compliment we could receive.
Ioana and Joanna will be especially touched by your kind words—they take great pride in making sure every arrival is met with warmth and professionalism. And Leanne’s team will be thrilled to hear your praise too—they’re a truly dedicated group who care for every dog with love, commitment, and respect.
We don’t officially have favourites… but between us, Bertie definitely has a special place in all of our hearts! He brings such joy whenever he visits, and we feel just as lucky to have him (and you) as part of the Royvon family.
Thank you again for choosing us, and for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback helps others make the right decisions for their dogs, and it helps us continue doing more of what works. We can’t wait to see you and Bertie again soon!

We have just completed our first 2 hour Masterclass at Home with our 10 week old Cocker Spaniel - Honey. Mimi was our puppy trainer from Royvon who came to our home. Mimi was a wonderful warm and lovely person who had patience for us and Honey. I didn't realise how much we could all learn in just 2 hours and feel much more comfortable knowing how to spend our time with Honey, what training to start to try out etc. To hear what we are doing right already (phew) and some other really good tips. I would definitely recommend Royvon and Mimi. We will be starting a puppy training course at Royvon as soon as Honey has had her second vaccination. Picture of Honey totally exhausted after all the fun and treats.
Response from the owner:Dear Marina,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're truly grateful for reviews like yours that help other dog owners make the best decisions for their furry friends. It warms our hearts to hear that your 2-hour Masterclass with Honey was not only fun but also enlightening.
At Royvon, our values of love, commitment, and respect guide everything we do, and it's fantastic to know that Mimi’s warmth, patience, and expertise made such a positive impact on you and Honey. Your kind words mean a great deal to her personally and to our entire team.
We truly appreciate you choosing Royvon and are excited to welcome you both back for your upcoming puppy training course after Honey’s second vaccination. Your feedback helps us continue doing more of what works well and fine-tuning our services, ensuring we provide the best possible care as a family business.
Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you and Honey soon!
Warm regards,

We have just picked our dog up from an evaluation over night stay at Royvon. Because she is due to board for a week next month and has never been away from us, we thought it best to see if she would cope in kennels.
Richard, her evaluator, has been wonderful with her, gave us plenty of feed back and we had a report and lots of pictures as well. Our dog had clearly bonded with Richard already and we feel much happier about leaving her for longer next time. Thank you for caring for Jumika as well as you did, it really showed!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Royvon. We’re thrilled to hear that Jumika’s overnight evaluation was a positive experience and that Richard’s care and feedback put your mind at ease. Our entire team, and Richard in particular, truly values your feedback as it not only reaffirms our commitment to love, respect, and genuine care for every dog, but also helps other dog owners make the best decisions for their furry friends.

We always take our dog to Royvon. The staff are friendly, our dog is well looked after and the keep us up to date with photos. Videos and enrichment reports during the stay. Great atmosphere with great facilities and staff.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alan! We're so glad to be your go-to for your dog's stays and thrilled to hear you enjoy the updates and atmosphere here. Our team loves looking after your pup, and we appreciate your kind words about our staff and facilities. Looking forward to seeing you both again soon! 🐾😊
They been such a blessing for us. Having a very anxious dog has made things challenging, but going to Royvons and getting help from Romeo has been amazing. (see Instagram posts) Romeo has build up a bond with our dog, he has the patience to go at her pace and now they have a great friendship and even play together. She is doing loads better and me as a 'dog auntie' feels so much more confident managing her. Thanks to Royvon for all your help, perseverance, advice, love and care in looking after her when she's stays over night. Special shout out to Romeo who is truly gifted, with such passion for what he does, but also to all the staff who are involved in her care. We are so grateful and happy we found you 😎
Response from the owner:Hi Acacia,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! Your kind words truly mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful you took the time to share your experience. Helping anxious dogs build confidence in a way that suits their individual needs is something we are deeply committed to, so hearing about the incredible bond Romeo has built with your pup is just heartwarming! His patience, dedication, and love for what he does really shine through, and we know he’ll be over the moon to hear how much his support has meant to you.
We’re also so pleased that you, as her ‘dog auntie,’ feel more confident managing her—our goal is always to help both dogs and their families feel supported and empowered. It’s an absolute pleasure to care for her during her stays, and we’re honored that you trust us to do so.
A huge thank you from the whole Royvon team, and a special shout-out from Romeo! We can’t wait to welcome her back for more progress, fun, and friendship. See you both again soon! 🐶💙

It was our springer Henry’s first playday at Royvon today (7th Feb) and we have come away so relived and happy. All the staff from the receptionist to the dog handlers have been so patient and amazing with Henry and his character. Can’t thank them enough and will see them in a couple of weeks for more visits and a stay. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Hi Francesca,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Henry’s first Playday at Royvon was such a positive experience for both him and you.

See you both again soon!

This was our dog’s first time to stay in kennels. She stayed for an overnight evaluation. She settled very well. Richard kept us updated with photos and an enhancement report. Nansi looked very happy in the photos. We have no qualms about further stays at Royvon Merthyr Tydfil.
Response from the owner:Hi Denis,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for helping other dog owners make informed choices for their furry friends. We're thrilled to hear that your dog's first kennel stay was a smooth and comfortable experience, and that she settled so well during her overnight evaluation.

Our two dogs have just completed a three week residential training programme at Royvon with their two wonderful and experienced trainers, Romeo and Kelsey.
We were experiencing difficulties when walking both dogs on the lead and both had become protective, reactive and nervous of other people and sometimes dogs, making our walks difficult and stressful.
Well what can I say, the improvement we have seen in both dogs is brilliant, they are more confident and focused now and their reactivity levels have dropped significantly. We have some additional 1:1 training sessions to complete over the next few weeks to ensure that we can keep up the training.
During the training programme, Romeo and Kelsey sent us video updates of the dog’s progress, enabling us to see how they were getting on and responding to the training. This was invaluable to us.
In addition, the team at Royvon took really good care of both dogs and we received reports on how they were settling in/getting on during their group playtime and time spent in kennels, plus daily photo updates.
I wouldn’t hesitate to board our dogs at Royvon again, we were very happy with the dogs care.
Thank you to Romeo, Kelsey and the rest of the team at Royvon!

Amazing talented team at Royvon! Cannot thank them enough for their continued help and training with the pups. Everyone has been so attentive to our dogs and have done so much to accommodate, cannot recommend Royvon enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Edward for your appreciated 5 Star review of your Royvon experience 🐶
My two year old , very large, excitable, goldendoodle , Bruno, went to Royvon for three weeks while we were on holiday, as he was struggling with reactivity - mainly manifesting in lots of loud , continuous barking when we were out on walks and at home, if anything unexpected happened . I dealt with Darren initially, who owns Royvon and is amazingly reassuring and efficient and assigned us to Charlie who was to be his trainer. She was just brilliant . As well as reassuring me by being in constant communication with WhatsApps and videos, she really ‘got’ Bruno and worked with him every day doing fun games and exercises to calm him down and build his confidence. When I returned she explained so much about his issues and how I could help him continue to overcome them. She’s absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, intuitive, patient and kind. He’s so much better on walks, which have become a real pleasure again , and we are continuing to work with Charlie on sorting things out at home. I can’t recommend Royvon highly enough - everyone there is delightful and the trainers I met are all so brilliant , and clearly really love dogs! Thank you Royvon!
Response from the owner:Hi Anne,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so pleased to hear how much Bruno has progressed during his time at Royvon. It was a pleasure to have him with us, and we’re thrilled that his training has made such a difference in both his confidence and your enjoyment of walks together!
Darren, Charlie, and the rest of the team will be delighted to hear your feedback. Charlie is truly dedicated to understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs, and it’s wonderful to hear how much her patience, knowledge, and tailored approach have helped Bruno. We know how important it is to feel reassured while your dog is in training, so we’re glad the regular updates helped keep you connected and informed throughout the process.
Your feedback means so much to us as a family business, as we are always striving to improve and provide the best experience for both dogs and owners. We truly appreciate you choosing Royvon, and we look forward to continuing to support you and Bruno on this journey. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you need us—we can’t wait to see you both again!

Why Royvon’s Barking Dog Training is Effective
Royvon’s barking dog training stands out due to its firm foundation rooted in the latest scientific research and a deep understanding of canine behaviour and psychology. By combining our training expertise with these scientific methods, we are confident that our training strategies will deliver the best output possible.
Through many years of operating in the industry and working with thousands of dogs, we know our dogs learn best in a supportive setting where obedience and calmness are rewarded rather than punished. This fosters a harmonious and confident relationship based on mutual trust and understanding.
But don’t just take our word for it; explore our many live training examples on our YouTube channel or read hundreds of testimonials and reviews from happy customers.
Barking Training for Every Breed
Royvon’s training methodologies are tailored to any. While we understand that barking is a common habit amongst all dogs, certain breeds might be more inclined towards vocalisation.
Acknowledging this, we tailor our training strategies to align with the breed’s unique needs and tendencies. By adapting our techniques, we address the root causes of barking, ensuring a calm, well-behaved companion, irrespective of breed. Some well-known ‘barkers’ are:
- Beagles often bark while following scent trails or when they sense loneliness.
- German Shepherds bark to alert their owners of strangers or unusual activities.
- Miniature Schnauzers use barking to alert their owners and express territorial behaviour.
- West Highland White Terriers bark out of excitement or when seeking attention.
- Yorkshire Terriers barking often stems from protective instincts or anxiety.
- Fox Terriers tend to bark in response to perceived threats or during play.
- Chihuahuas bark due to fear, protectiveness, or when seeking attention.
- Jack Russell Terriers bark from boredom, excess energy, or when hunting/playing.
- Pomeranians bark for attention when alerting their owners or out of boredom.
- Siberian Huskies often bark or howl because of loneliness or the desire for companionship.
Understanding breed-specific tendencies helps tailor anxiety training effectively. Contact us if you have any trouble with your dog barking!
Benefits of Barking Dog Training
- Reduced noise at home: Training minimises frequent or loud barking, ensuring a quieter, more serene home atmosphere.
- Improved communication: Our training strengthens the connection between dogs and owners by better understanding and responding to the dog’s needs and triggers
- Increased confidence: Builds a dog’s sense of security, reducing barking from anxiety or fear.
- Better social behaviour: Guides dogs on proper interaction methods with visitors and other pets, promoting polite greetings and encounters.
- Enhanced quality of life: It creates a more joyful and tranquil existence for dogs and their families, elevating overall happiness.

Ready to take the first step to a calm life for you and your four-legged friend? Contact us today for a professional consultation to help us find the ideal solution that respects your dog’s nature while bringing out the best traits. Take the first step towards a quieter, more harmonious life with your furry friend.
Avoid barking by starting early
Starting training early is key to preventing excessive barking habits from forming. Early socialisation plays a crucial role in this process, exposing puppies to various sounds, sights, and experiences. This exposure helps them become well-adjusted adults less likely to bark excessively out of fear or anxiety.
Positive reinforcement training for puppies encourages quiet behaviour by rewarding them when calm and quiet in potentially bark-inducing situations. Implementing these strategies from puppyhood ensures your dog grows into a well-behaved, silent companion, making your lives together more peaceful and enjoyable.
