Doberman Residential Dog Training
The Doberman Pinscher is a sleek and powerful breed that originated in Germany in the late 1800s. This iconic dog is known for power and loyalty and is revered for their alertness and intelligence. They are naturally protective, making them excellent family, guard, or police dogs.
The Doberman Pinscher is a sleek and powerful breed that originated in Germany in the late 1800s. This iconic dog is known for power and loyalty and is revered for their alertness and intelligence. They are naturally protective, making them excellent family, guard, or police dogs.
However, their dual nature – both athletic and gentle – requires expert guidance. By training your Doberman, you ensure their protective instincts are channelled in the right direction, cultivating a well-balanced, family-friendly companion. Our trainers have many years of experience using positive reinforcement techniques to overcome nervousness, aggression, and other behavioural issues in this breed; therefore, picking us as your Doberman trainer is undoubtedly the right option for your pet.
Efficient Doberman Training Based on Positive Reinforcement
Our dog trainers at Royvon understand that Doberman training is most effective usingpositive reinforcement techniques. Without positive reinforcement training, before they are teenagers, they might become nervous and aggressive in later years. However, Dobermans can be loving family pets and well-rounded four-legged friends with the right training. Our reward-based training methods encourage desirable behaviours and discourage unwanted ones. This means having a consistent,force-free training routine will bring out the best in your dog.
Dobermans naturally desire to please their owners, making positive reinforcement through rewards and treats highly effective. These methods promote faster learning, so the desired behaviour becomes natural more quickly than using other forceful training methods.
Why training Dobermans is important?
Bearing a proud lineage, the Doberman Pinscher isn’t just another breed in the AKC’s Working Group. This breed was meticulously crafted by Louis Dobermann to be the ultimate human companion, ensuring protection and companionship in his daunting tax-collecting duties.
Today’s Doberman is a supreme blend of courage, loyalty, and vigilance. Therefore, proper guidance and, better yet, puppy training are essential. Their cleverness, combined with their enthusiasm and curious nature, can, if left unchecked, manifest in undesired behaviours. Proper training refines their innate attributes, making them confident guardians and cherished family members. Delving deeper, you’ll discover how indispensable tailored training truly is for this elegant breed.
What to Expect from Doberman Residential Training?
Our training concept at Royvon is that a well-trained dog is a happy dog. Therefore, during the three-week intensive residential training program, our experienced trainers work with dogs to teach them new commands and how to deal with distractions. This type of training is available at our locations, either Esher or Merthyr Tydfilbranches. You can also leave your Doberman at our daycare – Playhouse in Bridgend. Additionally, we assess for behavioural issues –essential for Doberman training – to address any problems with fear, aggression, or reactivity.
Our innovative Doberman Residential Dog Training programme works in two phases.
Phase one involves one-on-one training with your pet. During this phase, your dog will participate in daily training activities coupled with periods of relaxation. Our trainers will carefully reshape your Doberman’smindset, helping him resolve fearful, aggressive, or insecure behaviors.
Phase two follows up with up to 5 hours of mentorship and three group training sessions within the timespan of three months after your dog receives training to support the developmentof your relationship and training skills at home so you can becomea confident Doberman parent.
Time-Tested Dog Training Methods for Both the Owners and Their Dobermans
At Royvon, we specialise in Doberman training, utilising proven methods to manage and overcome the breed’s challenging behaviours. Our experienced trainers skilfully eliminate aggressive, possessive, and destructive tendencies, transforming your misbehaving dogs into positively-minded pets.
The core principle of our training approach is a structured, tailored routine, which significantly enhances Doberman training receptiveness. We consistently hold training sessions in a controlled environment, cultivating discipline and attentiveness.
As a premier Doberman trainer offering a breed-specific training programmes, Royvon provides excellent socialisation opportunities, essential for Dobermans. Encountering new dogs and people reduces anxiety and fear, promoting a more balanced temperament.
We leverage our renowned positive reinforcement formula, encompassing rewards, praise, and clicker training, to instil desired behaviours. Dobermans love to tune into their owner’s emotions and naturally tend to seek guidance, so our focus is concentrated on strengthening their attention towards their handlers.
Our on-site trainers employ healthy treats to teach Dobermans crucial behavioural control commands, emphasising the value of calmness. In turn, your Doberman will become disciplined, adhering to commands reliably.
Unlike most of our competitors, we reject harsh correction training environments. For intelligent breeds like Dobermans, physical reprimands or shouting only foster fear-based anxiety and don’t yield long-term behavioural correction.
Trust Royvon for an effective and compassionate approach to Doberman training.
Staying at Our 5-Star Dog Accommodation
During phase one of our Doberman Training programme, your pooch stays in top-class accommodation. Our luxury ‘hotel-type’ dog accommodation is well-equipped to provide a great learning environment. In addition to regular training sessions, your pet has time to relax and socialise with other dogs.
Our experienced trainers are on-site 24 hours daily to give you complete peace of mind. They are trained in dog first aid and health care to handle any emergencies that may arise. Additionally, they will quickly pick up any health issues and adjust training as needed or call a local vet if necessary.

We’ve had fantastic experiences with Royvon Dog Boarding & Training boarding our two dogs. The team are professional, caring, and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs.
Our dog settled in quickly, and the updates gave us real peace of mind. When we picked them up, they were relaxed and happy, which says it all.
A place we trust completely and will definitely use again. Highly recommend.

Charlie was incredible in the caring, affectionate and thorough way she trained Lola during her three week residential course. Charlie sent us daily videos, reports and updates, and we've got a very happy, calm dog back, we are delighted. The care team were also superb, sending photos daily of play sessions and reports when necessary. Communication at all times was excellent. We cannot thank Royvon enough for the truly excellent service all round.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for such a glowing report from Lola's residential training. It means a lot to us that you took the time to leave great feedback for Charlie and Royvon as a whole.
Have left my reactive rescue dog for the 3 weeks behavioural change programme with boarding and I couldn’t be happier with the results
Romeo has done a fantastic job, helping my dog become much more confident when walking on the street and be less reactive to car/street noises, bicycles and particularly dogs - I am very happy to see her progress and am super grateful to Romeo for his professional help, care, kindness and advice and guidance - he is the best dog trainer and behaviourist I have come across and who has managed to achieve real, visible results with my dog
The communications with the rest of the team has been amazing, with daily updates and feeding reports and beautiful pictures and videos throughout the programme
Would highly recommend Romeo and Royvon Esher and I will definitely take my dog back there for boarding and additional training

I can’t express how much Royvon, and Tilly in particular, have supported us with Ralph, our Jack Russell rescue. When we first found Royvon in Esher we were exhausted: Ralph’s reactivity to dogs and people, following a hard start in life, had recently rebounded and reached a new high. Cue the horizon scanning on walks, avoiding inviting people over, and lack of joint holidays abroad. We thought we couldn’t leave Ralph with anyone as they wouldn’t be able to “handle him”.
Well Tilly was able to “handle” Ralph much better than we were. After an initial confidence stay (well worth the money!), we came to pick up Ralph expecting him to be petrified. He was happy to see us, but gladly walked along with Tilly to show us his room where he had stayed. He clearly had an amazing time. After that we decided to have another confidence stay, so he would be better prepared for our upcoming one week holiday.
When Ralph’s six night holiday at Royvon came around, we dropped him off knowing he would be cared for, stimulated and comfortable. The social walks and social play have meant he has come back more socialised and is actually calmer at home and outside.
Royvon’s incredible controlled environment is key to reactive dogs being able to relax and enjoy their stay.
The boarding kennels are top notch, the surrounding Esher walks beautiful and green, and the staff are all incredibly passionate.
A huge shout out goes to Tilly. She has built a real bond with Ralph, and he loves seeing her each time he is dropped off. She’s caring, patient, experienced and a brilliant trainer. Thank you so much Tilly!
The only difficulty I would flag is that the site for booking stays isn’t the easiest to use, and prices can vary depending on time of year - which makes it a bit hard to budget and predict costs. But from what I’ve heard from friends in the area, costs are comparable to other boarding kennels.
Our biggest regret is that we didn’t use Royvon’s services earlier. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Isabella, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. Feedback like yours genuinely helps other dog owners make the right decisions for their own dogs, and it means a great deal to us as a family business.
Ralph sounds like a very special boy, and stories like his are exactly why we do what we do. Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious or reactive is especially important to us at Royvon. We know how challenging it can feel for owners, and how limited the right support can be. Our team is dedicated to providing the kind of bespoke, thoughtful care that helps dogs feel differently about their environment, and it’s wonderful to hear how Ralph has grown in confidence and calmness both during his stays and at home.
Tilly will be absolutely delighted to read this. Building that kind of bond and trust with a dog like Ralph takes real skill, patience and commitment, and your kind words will mean a lot to her personally. We’re very proud of the love, respect and dedication our team shows every day, and it’s lovely to see that reflected in your experience.
We’re also so pleased that the Confidence Stays and Ralph’s holiday boarding gave you peace of mind and allowed him to enjoy his time with us. Creating a safe, structured and enriching environment is at the heart of what we do, especially for dogs who need that extra support.
Thank you as well for your honest feedback about the booking system and pricing clarity. This is really helpful for us as we continually work to improve by doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t. We’ll be reviewing this carefully as part of that process.
We truly appreciate you choosing Royvon for Ralph, and we’re so glad you found us when you did. We look forward to welcoming you both back again soon.
Give Ralph a big cuddle from all of us.

We have a very nervous border collie, Juno tends to react to anything that’s unfamiliar and as a BC she also is always in the lookout for movement to control & herd. We have been working with a wonderful team of vets and behaviourist but we’re in need of additional help with training to boost her confidence, also needed to find a place we could trust with her care while we are away for holidays. We have found such a welcoming and brilliant place in Royvon.
Romeo and Kelsey have been truly amazing helping Juno trust people outside our family group. Also helping boost her confidence. We have Juno take part of the residential training and it was so good for her. We got daily updates of her progress. We felt like Juno was in the best hands. She was well looked after by the entire team. It was definitively the best choice for her and we are so pleased to have found a home away from home for her. The facilities are great, it has all she needs to rest, play, “work” and feel safe. The Peace of mind we get to know that she’s in such kind and awesome environment if we need to go away for a few days.
The training process is going great, already we have made so much progress. Little wins! Romeo and Kelsey are well versed in dealing with dogs like Juno so we are lucky to have them as part of our team now to give Juno a more confident day to day. Really happy with our experience at Royvon ✨

Juno is a wonderful dog, and we completely understand the challenges that can come with a sensitive, highly aware breed like a Border Collie. Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious is especially special to us at Royvon, as we know how limited the skills and knowledge can be in helping dogs with these individual needs. Our teams are trained to provide truly bespoke support so each dog can start to think differently about their environment and feel more confident within it.
It’s fantastic to hear how Romeo and Kelsey have supported Juno’s journey. Your kind words will mean a lot to them personally, and we will be sure to share your feedback with them. We are very proud of the care, patience and commitment they bring to every dog they work with.
We’re also so pleased that the residential training and daily updates gave you that peace of mind while Juno was with us. Creating a safe, enriching environment where dogs can rest, play, learn and feel secure is at the heart of what we do, and it’s lovely to hear that came through so clearly.
Your mention of the “little wins” is exactly what we aim for. Those small steps build into meaningful, lasting progress, and it’s wonderful to hear Juno is already becoming more confident day to day.
Thank you again for choosing Royvon and trusting us with Juno’s care and development. We’re always looking to improve by doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t, so your feedback is incredibly valuable to us.

Our Bernese mountain dog, Goose had the best stay there, he loved the team and formed a special bond with Chloe. We couldn’t be more pleased with how well he was treated. So happy to find a such a professional and loving kennel.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience – reviews like yours really do help other dog owners make confident decisions about what’s right for their own dog.
We’re absolutely delighted that Goose had such a special stay with us.

The team at Royvon were amazing looking after our 4 month old puppy Rudi. This was the first time we had left him for a long period and so the puppy residential felt like the perfect option not only for the care he needed but for some training while we were away.
Kelsey was so excellent with him and the training he received and the tips she gave us were so useful. The updates were a great way to keep us in the loop on what he was doing. Tilly was also great at sharing tips and photos of Rudi during his enrichment sessions. You can tell the staff are highly competent and compassionate, Rudi happily bounced off with Kelsey when we left and didn’t look back!
Would highly recommend Royvon puppy care, we had total peace of mind. Thank you!

Kelsey and Tilly will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. They both put so much love, commitment, and respect into the dogs they care for, and knowing their updates and training support made a real difference to you will mean a lot to them personally.
It’s also great to hear that the regular updates gave you peace of mind — we know how important that is, especially with a young puppy on their first stay.

Romeo has been helping us every week with our dog, Bertie, for the last three months. Bertie is reactive to dogs, cyclists and runners who run at him. We have seen two other dog behaviourists with Bertie before and neither helped. - Bertie had bitten us several times and working with Romeo was Bertie’s last chance. Romeo has taught us and Bertie how to use his motivation for food to keep him and us safe around other dogs and people. Today, after 5 years of not being able to go away for a night without him, Bertie successfully completed his first overnight stay at Royvon. He was happy and relaxed. We received lots of videos and photos over the day and a half we’ve been away. There’s still a lot of work for us to do but we’re all heading in the right direction thanks to Romeo. The most impressive thing was when we first brought Bertie to see Romeo. We had thought that Bertie might be able to do a three week residential stay during which he would get intense training… within 10 minutes Romeo told us that would not work for Bertie as he was too anxious and a stay like that would not be good for him. It was clear that Romeo had Bertie’s wellbeing as his first priority. We are delighted to be able to with Romeo and will continue to do so. He has literally saved our dog’s life. Thank you
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Lisa, for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review. Feedback like this really helps other dog owners make the right decisions for their own dogs, and we’re incredibly grateful to you for that.
Your journey with Bertie sounds like it has been a challenging one, and we have so much respect for the commitment you’ve shown to helping him. Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious is especially special to us at Royvon, as we know how limited the skills and knowledge can be when it comes to helping dogs with these individual needs.

Romeo will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. It means a lot to him personally to know that his honest, welfare-first approach and guidance has made such a difference to both you and Bertie. Recognising that a residential stay wasn’t the right path and instead building a plan around Bertie’s emotional needs really reflects our values of love, commitment and respect for every dog we care for.
Hearing that Bertie was able to enjoy his first overnight stay, feeling happy and relaxed, is such a special milestone. We’re also really pleased the updates and videos gave you reassurance while you were away — that ongoing connection is so important.

Our 11 year old anxious dog, Edna, had never been in kennels before and we were worried about how she'd cope. She can be quite reactive with other dogs and people she doesn't know. We needn't have been concerned as from the moment we arrived for Edna's confidence stay it was clear that she would be fine. Everyone from the receptionists to the dog handlers we're clearly 'dog people' and we're very friendly and welcoming. Edna did not show any reactive behaviour. Her handler, Yvonne, was excellent - Edna trusted her straight away and it was clear from the photos that she had a great time. Although pleased to see us when we collected her she was not anxious to get away but rather pulled towards reception to go back in. I cannot recommend Royvon highly enough. We didn't expect to find a kennel where Edna would feel comfortable but we did at Royvon. Edna will definitely be returning - it is a relief to have found somewhere that we can happily leave her. Thank you to everyone and especially to Yvonne.

Yvonne will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. Building that immediate trust and connection is so important, and it clearly made a real difference to Edna’s experience. We’ll also be sure to share your feedback with the wider team, as it reflects the love, commitment, and respect they bring to every dog and owner they support.

Our anxious Shiba recently had a confidence stay at Royvon in Esher, and the experience was absolutely fantastic.
From the start, the team clearly understood how to handle her. They kept me updated throughout the whole stay with regular communication and asked lots of thoughtful questions about her likes, routines and little quirks, which made me feel confident she was being cared for as an individual.
A special shout out to Tilly — you are amazing, thank you for taking such great care of our girl!
The biggest sign of how relaxed she felt was that she ate all her dinner on the first day, which she would never do if she was stressed. That alone spoke volumes.
We’ve already booked her next stay, and for the first time we can genuinely relax and look forward to our holiday knowing she’ll be in such good hands.

Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious is especially special to us at Royvon, as we know how limited the skills and knowledge can be in helping dogs with these individual needs. Our team is passionate about providing truly bespoke support so each dog can start to feel differently about their environment, and it’s wonderful to hear how relaxed your Shiba became during her stay.
We’re so pleased you felt the communication, attention to detail, and understanding of her individual quirks gave you confidence throughout. That personal approach is at the heart of our values of love, commitment, and respect for every dog in our care.
A special thank you for mentioning Tilly — your kind words will mean the world to her. She puts so much care into making each dog feel safe and understood, and it’s lovely to see that recognised.
Hearing that she ate her dinner on the first day is such a powerful sign of how settled she felt — those little moments truly do speak volumes.
We really appreciate you choosing Royvon and trusting us with her care, and it means a lot that you’ve already booked her next stay. We’ll continue to learn from feedback like yours so we can keep doing more of what works well.
We look forward to welcoming you both back again soon.

My Romanian rescue dog, Rufus, spent 2 days and a night at Royvon in Esher for a 'confidence stay' to get him used to the place and the staff. Rufus is an anxious dog and can be reactive to people he does not know. I was very pleased with the professionalism and care that Royvon provided during Rufus's stay. Gareth, the Welfare & Enrichment Supervisor is very knowledgeable and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout Rufus's stay and gave me a comprehensive evaluation at the end of the 2 days.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Feedback like yours genuinely helps other dog owners make the right decisions for their own dogs, and it means a great deal to us as a family business.
We’re especially pleased to hear how positive Rufus’s Confidence Stay experience was. Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious is something very close to our hearts at Royvon. We understand how limited the general knowledge can be around helping dogs with these individual needs, and our team is passionate about providing the bespoke support each dog requires so they can begin to feel differently about their environment.
It’s wonderful to hear your kind words about Gareth. He truly cares about every dog he works with, and your feedback will mean a lot to him personally. Keeping you updated and providing a clear, comprehensive evaluation is a key part of what we do, so it’s great to know that made a difference for you.
Your comments reflect the values we hold strongly at Royvon – love, commitment, and respect for every dog in our care – and we’re always looking to improve by doing more of what works well and refining anything that doesn’t. Your feedback plays an important role in that.
Thank you again for choosing Royvon for Rufus. We look forward to welcoming you both back and continuing to support his journey.

Romeo and Kelsey have done an amazing job training Ace ( German sheperd), his confidence has grown and the additional training sessions for myself and parter really have helped with his walks out in busy places.
I would fully recommend the team at Royvon, I never thought Ace would allow anyone near him.
And an added bonus is he can stay at Royvon when we want to go away.
Thanks guys.

It’s fantastic to hear how much Ace’s confidence has grown. Supporting dogs who are sometimes anxious is especially special to us at Royvon, as we know how limited the understanding can be around helping dogs with these individual needs. Our team focuses on providing bespoke, force-free support so each dog can start to feel differently about their environment, and it’s wonderful to hear how this has translated into more relaxed walks in busy places for you all.
Romeo and Kelsey will be so pleased to read your feedback. It means a great deal to them personally, as they put so much love, commitment, and respect into every dog and family they support.
We also love that the additional training sessions for you and your partner made such a difference. Helping owners feel confident is just as important to us as supporting the dogs themselves, so this is brilliant to hear.
And it’s great that Ace now feels comfortable enough to stay with us when you go away. That trust is something we never take for granted.
Thank you again for choosing Royvon. As a family business, we’re always looking to improve by doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t, so your feedback truly helps guide us.

My dog's just home from her second visit. I have complete peace of mind when she's there. I know she's well treated, safe, and happy.
She's a reactive dog, so needs the right handling and training, which she gets. Each time she's come home, she's less anxious and easier to manage.

Our two dogs love going to Royvon. They are always excited to go and we love the regular enrichment reports with photos of them enjoying their woodland walks. I would not want to leave them with anyone else when we are away. Our Doberman can be reactive to other dogs and the staff totally understand this and manage him so well. You can tell how much the staff love the pups in their care. Highly recommended
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Doug, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Feedback like this genuinely helps other dog owners decide what feels right for their own dogs, and it means a great deal to us as a family business.

Our 18 month Irish Terrier, Otis, has had an amazing experience on the 3-week training programme at Royvon. He absolutely adores his trainer Kelsey, and she has worked wonders on his loose lead training and recall. We received daily updates on his training and time at Royvon - group play was his favourite. Otis will be back for boarding in no time!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Daisy, for taking the time to share your experience. Reviews like yours genuinely help other dog owners decide what’s right for their own dog, and we’re really grateful you chose to share Otis’s journey with us.
It’s lovely to hear just how much Otis enjoyed his three-week training programme and that he built such a strong bond with Kelsey. Your feedback will mean a great deal to her personally. She puts so much love, commitment and respect into her work, and it’s wonderful to hear how much progress Otis made with his loose lead walking and recall as a result.
We’re also really pleased the daily updates helped you feel connected and reassured while Otis was with us. Group play being his favourite made us smile too – it’s always special to see dogs thriving socially as well as in their training.
Thank you again for trusting Royvon with Otis. As a family business, feedback like this helps us keep doing more of what works well and continue improving our service. We can’t wait to welcome Otis back for boarding very soon.

I cannot recommend Royvon and the team highly enough. I was incredibly anxious about leaving my dogs, as they have had some very bad experiences with kennels in the past, and I’ve generally avoided them altogether. Normally my family looks after my dogs when I’m away, but as that’s no longer possible, I was extremely reluctant to try another boarding kennel — especially after a previous experience caused my younger dog to become very anxious, lead reactive, and unsettled around other dogs.
From the very beginning, Royvon was absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly understanding of my concerns and took the time to make sure my boys were comfortable. During their trial stay (day and night), communication was excellent — I received regular WhatsApp updates, photos, and videos, which completely put my mind at ease. They even made it clear that if the boys didn’t settle, they would rather have me come and collect them than risk causing them any distress, and that they were happy to take things in smaller steps rather than pushing them to stay longer than they were ready for. That level of care and empathy meant so much to me.
The boarding facilities themselves are excellent, and most importantly, my dogs came home incredibly happy, relaxed, and content — something I honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever say about a kennel experience. We’ve already booked several more daycare and overnight stays so they can gradually get used to longer periods of boarding in the future.
Tilly, in particular, was absolutely incredible with my boys, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the care they received. This has completely changed my view on boarding kennels, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Royvon and the team to anyone, especially those with anxious dogs or owners who are nervous about leaving them.

Supporting dogs who feel anxious or have had difficult past experiences is especially close to our hearts at Royvon. We know how limited the skills and understanding can be when it comes to meeting these individual needs, which is why our teams are trained to provide bespoke, force-free support that helps dogs feel safe enough to think differently about their environment. Hearing how carefully stepping things back, moving at your boys’ pace, and prioritising their emotional wellbeing made such a difference means a great deal to us.
We’re also really pleased the regular WhatsApp updates, photos, and videos helped put your mind at ease. That reassurance is such an important part of the journey, especially when trust has been shaken by past experiences. Your kind words about the care, empathy, and willingness to adjust plans rather than push ahead reflect the love, commitment, and respect we strive to show every dog and family.
Tilly will be absolutely delighted to hear your feedback. It means a lot to her personally to know the care she gave your boys had such a positive impact, and we’ll be sure to pass this on to the wider team as well.

We collected our rescue dog Diego a couple of days ago. Romeo, Kelsey and the team have clearly looked after him very well. They sent photos every day of his progress and we could see he was very happy. Seeing Diego now he is much more attentive, and focused when out and about. His affection towards Romeo and Kelsey when we picked him up was really sweet to see as he can be a difficult dog.
Thanks guys, appreaciate your hard work.

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.
Warmest wishes,

10 out of 10 for Royvon! My Border Collie loves to go there and has benefitted so much from training, specifically by Romeo. He has grown in confidence & started to enjoy situations where he was previously extremely anxious & reactive. The Royvon staff are incredibly attentive & genuinely nice, they all go out of their way to make you & your dog feel welcome. Having a reactive dog is a stressful experience - they know exactly what to do to help - I can’t thank them enough. We will be back!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It genuinely means a lot to the whole Royvon team.
We’re especially pleased to hear how much your Border Collie has grown in confidence and is now enjoying situations that once felt overwhelming. Supporting anxious and reactive dogs is something we take very seriously, so it’s incredibly rewarding to know the work Romeo has been doing is making such a positive difference.
Having a reactive dog can feel stressful and isolating at times, and we’re really glad you felt supported, understood, and welcomed by the team. Helping dogs feel safe while helping owners feel reassured is at the heart of what we do.
Thank you again for your trust and kind words. We’ll pass this on to Romeo and the team, and we very much look forward to welcoming you both back to Royvon soon.

If you looking for a well managed and run, safe, friendly place to your dog, don’t think twice- it’s Royvon! Our dog (GSD) went there for resident training and thanks to highly skilled trainers - Romeo and Kelsey, returned much more calm and responsive. We can now walk him on a street and practice with real confidence. Thank you Romeo, Kelsey and Royvon Team for taking care of our friend!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. Feedback like yours really helps other dog owners decide what’s right for their own dog, and we truly appreciate it.
We’re delighted to hear how much calmer and more responsive your GSD is after his resident training, and that you’re now able to walk and practise together with real confidence. Supporting dogs who need that extra help to feel settled and focused in the real world is especially important to us at Royvon, as we know how limited appropriate, skilled support can be for these individual needs.
Romeo and Kelsey will be incredibly touched by your kind words. They put so much love, commitment and respect into every dog they work with, and knowing they’ve helped both your dog and your confidence as an owner will mean a great deal to them personally.
Thank you for choosing Royvon and trusting us with your friend. Your feedback helps us keep improving as a family business by doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t. We look forward to seeing you both again in the future.

We decided to use Royvon after seeing a few kennels for our lab whilst we were away for nearly a month. We were advised they did a training program as well which was perfect as she is reactive with other dogs as well as hyper-active with affection around other people and that Romeo would be the ideal trainer. We did some 1-on-1sessions with him so he could see what needed looking at and she also got used to the kennels and him. We had no need to worry about leaving her for so long as the training she received from him and also from Kelsey was first rate and she has come on in leaps and bounds. We loved being the other side of the world but still getting videos of her whilst doing the different training every day, so we could see the progression she was making and the bond that she had formed with both of them- if her tail isn’t wagging continually then something isn’t right! Couldn’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using again!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and detailed review. We’re really grateful you took the time to share your experience, as it will be hugely reassuring for other owners facing similar decisions.
Supporting dogs who are reactive or easily overstimulated is something that’s especially close to our hearts at Royvon. We know how limited the skills and understanding can be in this area, and our teams are trained to provide bespoke, thoughtful support so each dog can feel safe, understood and able to learn at their own pace.
Romeo and Kelsey will be so pleased to read your feedback. The bond you describe, the daily training updates and seeing your dog’s progress from afar are exactly what they work so hard to create, and your words will mean a great deal to them personally.
Thank you for trusting Royvon while you were away for such a long time. We’re always looking to improve by listening carefully to feedback like yours, doing more of what works well and less of what doesn’t. We really appreciate you choosing Royvon and look forward to welcoming you and your dog back again.

Vinnie my two years old male Rottie has attended the 3 weeks behaviour transformation programme at Royvon to reduce reactiveness towards other dogs and distractions during walks. Grateful to Romeo and Kelsey for their efforts with training Vinnie to maintain his focus on them and socialising Vinnie with other dogs, people in different environments cafes, parks, road crossing and train stations. Romeo has simple ways of passing his confidence and techniques to the owners through regular video updates and 1 to 1 sessions following the completion of the programme. Although a bit nervous at the beginning as a lengthy process, the results have been beneficial for Vinnie and raised my confidence walking him at different environments and distractions. Thank you Royvon team!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as it’s incredibly helpful for other owners considering support for their own dogs.
Supporting dogs who can feel reactive or overwhelmed in certain environments is especially special to us at Royvon. We know how limited appropriate support can be for these individual needs, and our teams are trained to provide truly bespoke help so dogs can start to think differently about their world.
Romeo and Kelsey will be very touched by your feedback. Their ability to build Vinnie’s focus, confidence and social skills – and to pass those techniques on clearly to you as an owner – reflects the love, commitment and respect they bring to their work every day.
We’re so pleased the programme has benefited both Vinnie and your own confidence handling him. Thank you for choosing Royvon and for trusting us on what can feel like a daunting journey. Your feedback helps us keep improving as a family business, and we look forward to seeing you both again.

My Frenchie stayed with Royvon for a 3 week behavioural residential. Romeo and Kelsey were his trainers and were fantastic from start to finish. I received multiple photos/videos daily which was so reassuring and great to see his progress.
Could recommend Romeo and the Royvon team more.

My dogs Yaya&Didi really enjoyed staying here! They are normally slow but they love every staff here!
We had boarding with reactive training - Kelsey and Romeo is very responsive in our whatsup group chat and will post video everyday. We then had a handover session to went through everything my dogs learnt. Absolutely love it❤️
We also had daily updates on Royvon system about their diet and regular message about how are they. This will be the place to go if we need to board our dogs next time.

Having taken on a rescue dog with some behavioural issues we researched where might be a good place to get her - and us - some help. It transpires that there are quite a few different approaches to behavioural issues and after a deep dive we decided to try the Royvon approach, which is all about positive reinforcement. We were lucky enough to be allocated Romeo to work with Badger. He exudes a quiet confidence and authority and she was immediately at ease with him, not a given by any means and extremely keen to please him.
The dedication he applied to her training was absolute and he communicated with us every day of her 3 week boarding programme on his observations and recommendations. These contact points would be accompanied by videos and photos showing us her progress and the methods that were the building blocks of this progress.
By the time we got to the end of the 3 weeks and were invited to attend a 2 hour training session, showing us the methods we needed to continue with and hear of his more general advice and observations, it felt like we were already immersed in the philosophy.
The rock solid methods, transformed Badger's behaviour from unpredictable and reactive to far more trusting and focused on following instructions. Additionally, we have found using the techniques demonstrated to keep her distracted and otherwise engaged of significant impact when taking her out and about.
Royvon is a highly professional, long established family business that totally knows what it is doing with dogs. The whole team gives off the same air of concern for the dogs in their care. However, the phenomenal 'dog whispering' talents and utter dedication of Romeo cannot be overstated. He cares passionately about what he does and how to help dogs overcome their issues - and then in turn, give owners the tools to implement his approach.
We have gone from loving our rescue dog but feeling unsure of how to rehabilitate her to live a normal life and put her awful past behind her, to feeling in control and knowing how to manage her so that she can live her life to the fullest. Thank you so mcuh Romeo.

Royvon looked after my German Shepherd brilliantly. Their regular updates through the online portal gave me complete peace of mind throughout his stay. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive care.

Royvon is for me in a league of their own the entire team are so helpful. the training with Romeo and Kelsey has been excellent and continues to be. I have been taking my Cane Corso "Loki" to them from when he was 14 weeks old and he is now almost a year and he loves going there, he has had several residentials that helped him and us. he is sociable with all other dogs and humans, the training is ongoing but there are improvements each week that help towards the end goal.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Jamie, for taking the time to share your experience — feedback like yours really helps other dog owners make confident choices about what’s right for their own dogs. We’re so pleased to hear how well Loki is progressing and how much he enjoys his visits to Royvon Esher!
It’s been a real pleasure for Romeo, Kelsey, and the whole Esher team to be part of his journey from such a young age. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, as they reflect the love, commitment, and respect that we aim to show every dog and family we support.
We’ll be sure to share your message with Romeo and Kelsey — they’ll be delighted to know their dedication has made such a difference for Loki. Thank you again for choosing Royvon Esher and trusting us with his ongoing training. We look forward to seeing you both again soon and continuing to help Loki reach his full potential!

Response from the owner:Thank you fo rthe 5 Star review 🐶
Kelsey and Romeo trained and looked after our cocker spaniel puppy for 3 weeks. She was having issues with reactivity and fear around other dogs but the training helped her (and us) massively. Kelsey and Romeo were brilliant with her and super helpful with us in the intro and follow up sessions. Thank you
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your kind review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as it helps other owners understand what support is possible for their dogs.
Supporting dogs who feel fearful or reactive around others is something that’s especially important to us at Royvon. We know how limited knowledgeable, force-free help can be in this area, and our teams are experienced in providing bespoke support that helps dogs feel safer and more confident over time.
Kelsey and Romeo will be so pleased to hear how much progress your cocker spaniel puppy made and that both the training and the follow-up sessions were helpful for you as owners too. Thank you for choosing Royvon and trusting us with your puppy. We look forward to seeing you again as she continues to grow.

Response from the owner:Thank you Amy for the 5 Star Review
We had a great experience with Royvon and our trainer, Mimi! The whole facility is extremely well organised, with clear communication from start to finish. It’s obvious that everyone there genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the dogs. They focus on positive reinforcement and on building a strong, trusting relationship between you and your dog, which we really appreciated.
Mimi was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to really understand both us and our new family member (Lilo), who joined us when she was 16 months old. She helped educate us on how to best support and care for our dog, and all her advice and training techniques were practical and relevant to our situation.
Her approach was always positive, encouraging, and thoughtful, which made the learning experience enjoyable for all of us. As a result of her help and guidance, Lilo is now confident, well adjusted and happy doggy.
Highly recommend Royvon and Mimi to anyone looking for professional, compassionate dog training.

We would 100% recommend Royvon to anyone! We are so blown away by how much the trainers and staff clearly care about the dogs and the communication and updates we have had throughout the whole experience. Our dog had training with Romeo whose comprehensive understanding of dogs with challenging behaviour is clear to see. Our dog Vinnie was really struggling with general nervousness and reactivity towards other dogs and people, especially when sat down in public. He had the 3 week residential training and we are now going back for 2 more follow up sessions which we are finding so helpful. We now feel much more confident in sitting down in public spaces and can’t believe how focused Vinnie is on us. It’s very evident that Royvon only use positive reinforcement and have ticked every box in how we wanted our dog to be treated while in someone else’s care. A special mention to Tilly as well, she kept us updated with how Vinnie was getting on in the kennels and went above and beyond to help him settle in and gave him so much love and affection in our absence. We are so grateful to everyone at Royvon for giving us and Vinnie the skills to be able to experience a more relaxing life together and giving us the confidence we needed. Thank you!

I can’t recommend Royvon highly enough. Our miniature English Bull Terrier has been boarding with them on and off for the past year, and we couldn’t be happier. He was quite a nervous dog in new situations at first, but his stays at Royvon have done absolute wonders for his confidence.
The team is incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. When I recently broke my foot, they arranged a last-minute stay for him so he could be properly looked after while my husband was away. They even let us pick Vincent up after hours when our flight home was severely delayed — something we were so grateful for.
We love the daily updates and photos they send, and they’re always quick to respond to WhatsApp messages or suggest services that might benefit Vincent during his stay. We always feel he’s in the safest, most caring hands.
Thank you so much, Royvon — we’re so glad we found you!

It’s wonderful to hear how far Vincent has come in his confidence since staying with us. Supporting dogs who can sometimes feel nervous or unsure is especially special to us at Royvon. Our team takes great pride in providing the bespoke care and understanding that helps dogs like Vincent think differently about their environment and feel more secure each visit.
Your appreciation for the team’s kindness, flexibility, and communication means the world to us. They’ll be so pleased to know their efforts — from arranging his stay when you broke your foot to staying late after your delayed flight — made a real difference to you and Vincent.
Thank you for choosing Royvon and for trusting us to care for your beloved boy. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon and continuing to help Vincent thrive with the love, commitment, and respect that guide everything we do.

Excellent facility with amazing staff at Bridgend. I have been boarding my Cockapoo Rusty here for that past few years. The staff go an extra mile to keep my dog very happy with extra cuddles etc. The place is much better than a home boarding or any other luxury pet hotels that I have used in the past.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Rohan, for taking the time to share your lovely feedback — it really helps other dog owners make the right choice for their own dogs. We’re so grateful that you’ve continued to trust Royvon Bridgend with Rusty over the years. Your kind words mean a lot to the whole team, who truly put their hearts into making every dog feel loved and cared for during their stay. Knowing that Rusty enjoys his cuddles and time with us is exactly what we aim for!
We really appreciate you choosing Royvon and look forward to welcoming you and Rusty back again soon. As a family business, feedback like yours helps us to keep doing more of what works well — continuing to provide that love, commitment, and respect that every dog deserves.

Great staff. .. Leanne and Iiona assisted me in last minute changes and extensions to their stay and delivered them home. Nothing but praise on their service or facilities. One of my dogs is diebetic and requires insulin 2 x a day and they handled this all in their stride.

We truly appreciate you continuing to choose Royvon. Reviews like yours help us keep doing more of what works well and improving wherever we can, which is especially important to us as a family business. We look forward to welcoming you and your dogs back again very soon.
Romeo was amazing with Cassie, He seems to be like a dog whisperer we have tried everything but we are now confident the 3 week residential might just work for our rescue English Bulldog
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Natalie, for taking the time to share this lovely review. We’re genuinely grateful for every piece of feedback, as it really helps other dog owners decide what’s right for their own dog and allows us to keep improving what we do at Royvon.
It means a great deal to hear how positive your experience with Romeo has been. He’ll be so touched by your words – building trust with dogs, especially rescue dogs, is something he cares deeply about, and feedback like this really matters to him personally.
Supporting dogs who need a little extra understanding is especially close to our hearts at Royvon. We know how limited appropriate support can be for dogs with individual emotional or behavioural needs, and our teams are skilled at providing truly bespoke, force-free care that helps dogs feel safe enough to think differently about their world. Hearing that you’re feeling confident about a 3-week residential stay is incredibly encouraging.
Thank you for choosing Royvon and for trusting us with Cassie’s journey. As a family business, feedback like yours helps us do more of what works well and continue refining our service for every dog and owner we support. We’re very much looking forward to seeing you and Cassie again soon.

The most amazing place!
We have taken our puppy to Royvon since he was 12 weeks old and now 6 months. Starting with the master class at home then puppy school and 1:1’s! We have felt completely supported by everyone at Royvon, nothing ever too much trouble.
We couldn’t have asked for better care, all staff are kind, friendly and so welcoming. Our Puppy is excited as soon as he enters the Royvon premises, he knows exactly where to go and always greeted with open arms and cuddles. So great to have a safe environment to leave our puppy without having to worry about him! Thank you Royvon for all your help and ongoing support! Rocky is one happy and beautifully behaved boy!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Suzanne, for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re genuinely grateful for every piece of feedback, as it really helps other dog owners understand what might be right for their own puppy and reassures them when making such an important decision.
It’s been a real pleasure supporting Rocky from such a young age, starting with the Master Class at home and continuing through puppy school and 1:1 sessions. That early journey, built on love, commitment and respect, is exactly how we aim to set puppies and their families up for long-term success. Hearing that you’ve felt completely supported, and that nothing has ever felt like too much trouble, means a great deal to the whole team.
Your comments about the team being kind, friendly and welcoming will mean so much to them personally. They truly love what they do, and knowing that Rocky runs in excited, knows where he’s going, and is greeted with cuddles every time is exactly the environment we strive to create.
We’re also really pleased you feel confident leaving Rocky with us in a safe, supportive space. Creating that peace of mind for families is hugely important to us as a family business, and feedback like yours helps us keep doing more of what works well and improving wherever we can.
Thank you for choosing Royvon and for trusting us with Rocky from the very beginning. We look forward to seeing you both again and continuing to support Rocky as he grows into the happy, beautifully behaved boy he already is.

We decided to send our 3 month old Staffy, Zola, to Puppy School sessions at Royvon so he could have a mixture of training and structured socialisation at this key age. Safe to say Zola is loving his trips to Royvon to see Tils! After only a couple of sessions he’s wiggling his way out of the car to see everyone! Highly recommend the team at Royvon!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Chantelle, for sharing your experience and for trusting us with little Zola at such an important stage in his life. 🐾 Your feedback really does help other dog owners make the right decisions for their pups, and we’re so pleased to hear he’s already loving his Puppy School sessions!
Tils will be absolutely delighted to know how much Zola enjoys coming to see her – your kind words mean a lot to her personally and to the whole team. At Royvon, our values of love, commitment, and respect are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s wonderful to see that reflected in Zola’s happy wiggles!
Thank you again for choosing us as part of Zola’s journey. We look forward to seeing you both at future sessions and continuing to support him as he grows.

It was a huge and daunting decision to entrust Royvon for their three week training programme with our adorable five month-old baby shark Great Dane puppy who was bouncier than Tigger. For a smaller pup such a combination would be manageable, but at 35 kilos and growing daily, it was becoming increasingly stressful. Our boy remains a work in progress but Kelsey and Romeo have worked wonders with his excitement/ arousal levels. The improvements with his nipping and lead-walking are amazing. They sent us daily videos of both training AND cuddle sessions. He really has been loved. We also received regular feeding reports (Royvon were mindful of Bloat, and his feeding bowl was raised and he wasn’t exercised for two hours after eating) and photos from socialisation/playtime with the other dogs. Reception was caring, helpful and cheery - especially Ioana.
We have Romeo and Kelsey’s on going support and together I’m hoping we’ll help our boy become the calm gentle giant we know he can be. Ps his recall is also now excellent

Response from the owner:Dear Harriet,
I’m so pleased that you decided to go ahead with the three-week programme, despite the understandable hesitation when the time came to hand over your then five-month-old “baby shark.” I remember our conversation and how daunting it felt to entrust such a young, powerful puppy to others. It’s never easy handing over responsibility for a family member, and I truly admire the trust you placed in us.
I knew from our chat that the work Romeo and Kelsey would do with him could be life-changing for you all, and I’m delighted to hear how much progress has been made already. They will be over the moon to read your words—it really means a lot to them personally to know they’ve helped bring calmness to such an excitable boy while still showing him so much love.
I’m also glad you mentioned Ioana at reception—she’ll be so happy that her caring and cheerful support made a difference too. Our people are what make Royvon what it is and have done for over 65 years, and your feedback reinforces that.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so others can hear about yours and Judge’s journey with us. We look forward to continuing the support and helping him grow into the calm, gentle giant you know he can be.
With gratitude,
Darren

Our dog formed a strong bond with Romeo. He really enjoyed his time at Royvon. We’ve seen big improvements in his behaviour and Romeo has been great at helping us learn how best to keep this up. We would thoroughly recommend!

Our dog was well cared for, well trained, and very happy in their time at Royvon. Romeo is an excellent and communicative trainer, who we will certainly continue to work with. Daily updates, videos, photos, and comms from the whole team - strongly recommend
