Residential Dog Training
for Jack Russell Terrier
Master your Jack Russell Terrier’s energy with Royvon’s bespoke residential training. Leverage your dog’s intelligence for a happier, well-behaved pet. Act now!
If you’re the proud parent of a Jack Russell Terrier, you’re undoubtedly familiar with their striking personalities. Despite their petite size, Jack Russells are vibrant, intelligent, and loyal companions.
Originating from England and initially bred for fox hunting, Jack Russells are the epitome of dynamic dogs with their infectious ardour and persistent work ethic. While endearing, their abundant energy and passion can often spiral into behavioural challenges without appropriate training. This is where we come in to help.
Positive-Reinforcement Training for Your Jack Russell Terrier
Known for their high energy and active nature, Jack Russell Terriers need a lot of mental stimulation alongside physical activities. Training not only channels their energy productively but also helps you command respect from your dog. Positive reinforcement training is one of the most efficient techniques for this breed.
We employ this methodology, acknowledging and appreciating your dog’s desirable actions with treats, toys, or verbal praise, which propels them to repeat the wanted behaviours often. Immediate rewards following good behaviour establish a clear understanding that his positive actions are being rewarded. Each Jack Russell Terrier is unique in age, temperament, and personality, so we customise our training approach accordingly.
Our team’s patience sets us apart from other trainers, as we are confident positive reinforcement training will bring the best results possible. We know how to keep our cool even when things don’t go our way, and instead, navigate and adapt the training process calmly and consistently, transforming your lively pet into an even more delightful companion.
Why Train Your Jack Russell Terrier?
These pint-sized powerhouses, brimming with energy and intelligence, often channel their zest into behaviours that might challenge even the most experienced dog owners. The iconic Jack Russellbark, sometimes more enthusiastic than expected, often stems from boredom or anxiety. Their proclivity for jumping up is a testament to their vitality, while their destructive tendencies can be a cry for more intellectual stimulation and attention. Bred hunters, it’s not unusual for a Jack Russel to dream of adventures beyond the backyard, leading to escapades under fences. And let’s face it, that hyperactive sprint around your living room isn’t just for show.It’s an innate energy waiting for the right outlet by design. Taming these behaviours isn’t about burying their spirit but channelling it productively.
Training Your Jack Russell Terrier Puppy
Jack Russells are bursting with energy, intelligence, curiosity, and a pinch of mischief. Therefore, they might be challenging to train. Nonetheless, over the decades of working with Jack’s, we have discovered a secret sauce to transforming them into the best pets ever! What’s that sauce? It’s simple – start early. Why? These dynamic pups are sharp learners and efficiently grasp the nuances of training as puppies. As young as eight to nine weeks, their receptive brains soak up commands, laying a foundation for a well-mannered adult terrier.
Training a Jack Russell puppy is not just about mastering tricks but setting the tone for your household. Without early guidance, they might assume the leadership role – cute but not ideal! Being proactive from day one fosters a harmonious bond, ensuring you’re in charge and your Jack Russell looks up to you for cues. Remember, patience paired with consistent, positive reinforcement shapes their spunky personality into a delightful blend of fun and obedience. So, invest in their puppyhood, and watch your Jack Russell Terrier transform into a loyal, intelligent, and spirited companion!

Time-Tested Force-Free Training Strategies and Methods
At Royvon, we have meticulously perfected our force-free training strategies for Jack Russell Terriers.

Royvon’s force-free dog training primarily revolves around positive reinforcement. It includes rewarding good behaviour and correcting unwanted actions without harsh punishment. Our methods, rooted in the science of learning theory, encourage your dog to understand your expectations, reinforced through rewards. This methodology expedites learning, improves response accuracy, and strengthens behaviour recall. We also educate owners, helping them understand canine body language, how to behave in certain situations, the best communication tactics, and the importance of consistency.

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.

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,

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.
With gratitude,
The Royvon Team
I couldn’t be happier with the care my boy received at Royvon Esher. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional and clearly passionate about what they do.
A very special mention to Tilly who was absolutely amazing with my boy and he loved her. Tilly went above and beyond to make sure my boy felt comfortable, loved and well looked after especially as he’s very anxious.
I got regular updates, pictures and videos and could tell he was having the best time, which gave me such peace of mind while we were apart.
I highly recommend Royvon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friend.

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!

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!

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! 🐶💙
Warmest wishes,

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,

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!
Best wishes,

This place is amazing. I have 2 4 year old sheepdogs and they have separate issues. Blue is hyperactive and scittish and likes to chase things and Jack is slightly overweight and lets Blue run around for him. They both attend Royvon for a playday on separate days and they are getting on great. The staff are brilliant and make sure they have individual plays for their needs. They keep them entertained with games to use their brains and they are exhausted when they get home.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, as it helps other dog owners make the best choices for their pups.
It’s fantastic to hear how well Blue and Jack are getting on at Royvon! We love that they each have their own unique personalities and needs, and our team is always committed to ensuring every dog gets the right level of engagement, whether it’s burning off energy or keeping their minds active. It’s great to know they’re enjoying their tailored playdays and going home happy (and exhausted!).
Your kind words about our brilliant team mean the world to us—we’re passionate about what we do, and feedback like yours reassures us that we’re making a positive impact. Thank you for choosing Royvon, and we can’t wait to see Blue and Jack again soon!
My Doberman, Chop has just come back from the 3 week training programme with Charlie. Nothing but good to say about the whole experience and the team down there. Kept up to date every day with what’s been happening with his training/playtime with the other dogs. He’s come back a lot calmer and easier to work with with the foundations they’ve set for him
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely 5-star review about Chop’s experience with us! We’re truly grateful for your kind words, as they help other dog owners make informed decisions about the right care and training for their beloved pets.
It’s wonderful to hear how happy you are with Chop’s progress after his three-week training program with Charlie. Charlie and the rest of the team will be thrilled to know their hard work has made a positive difference. Your feedback means so much to them personally, and it’s lovely to hear that the daily updates helped you feel connected to Chop’s journey.
We’re so pleased to know Chop has come back calmer and easier to work with! Setting those foundations is what we’re all about, and it’s great to hear they’ve made such an impact.
Thank you for choosing Royvon and trusting us with Chop’s training. We can’t wait to see you both again soon! Your feedback helps us continue to grow as a family business, ensuring we do more of what works well for our wonderful clients like you. ❤️
A literally crisis averting 3 week training intervention by Romeo and the team at Royvon. We have gone from being worried to let our puppy near our older dog for fear of "an incident" to the two of the playing together as best buddies. With the 'crisis period' over we have now engaged Romeo for a series of private training sessions for our (now 4 month old) puppy and he is making amazing progress. Absolutely 10/10.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Peter, for your fantastic review! It means so much to us to hear how Romeo and the Royvon team were able to support you and your puppy during such a challenging time. Our values of love, commitment, and respect guide everything we do, and it’s wonderful to know we could help bring harmony to your household and build that incredible bond between your puppy and older dog.
Romeo will be thrilled to hear your kind words; feedback like this truly inspires our team to keep doing what we love. We’re so pleased that your puppy is continuing to thrive with the private training sessions, and we’re excited to be a part of this journey with you.
Thank you for trusting us during the ‘crisis period’ and beyond. We look forward to seeing you and your puppy grow together even more and can’t wait to see what amazing progress lies ahead. Please don’t hesitate to let us know how else we can support you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5 Star Review 🐶
our dog had wonderful time at Royvon 🙏
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Markus, for your wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that Lupa had an amazing time at Royvon. It was such a joy to see him come out of his shell and enjoy cuddles, group play, and his woodland walk. Knowing he was happy and settled makes us so proud. Your feedback means the world to us, and we’re grateful you chose Royvon for Lupa. We look forward to welcoming you both back again soon! 😊🐾
I would absolutely recommend Royvon for residential training. My partner and I sent our 16 month German shepherd, Nova, to the 3-week board and train at Royvon to help us continue progress on some of Nova’s behaviours we have had challenges with changing such as over excitement around other dogs and new environments and a lack of engagement with us in these situations. This also served as boarding for us whilst we were on holiday for a week. Nova is super friendly which makes it difficult to take her places as her over excitement can easily make other dogs nervous and put us in a tough situation handling her. We were nervous to send Nova to a board and train as she has never been away from us this long and we were not sure how she would get on in the kennels, but the staff at Royvon, and our trainer Charlie, quickly put us at ease through a 121 consultation and a tester night in the kennels. We looked at a few other board and trains and Royvon was the clear choice. Not only did Charlie work with us to understand our real trouble areas with Nova, but she created a training plan catered to Nova and our needs. We got so many videos walking us through the training and what it targeted that we were able to follow along the three weeks and really see progress and understand what we would need to do to continue the training with Nova once she was back with us. Outside of the training videos, we got daily updates and photos from the care staff showing us Novas play sessions and letting us know how she was getting on. We loved seeing Nova have play sessions with staff and other dogs staying there making us feel at ease that she was having fun as well and being well taken care of. After the 3-weeks we had a 2-hour handover with Charlie where she walked us through what was covered and had us run through drills so we felt ready to carry on all the hard work she put in. It’s only been a few days since we picked Nova up, but we can already see the difference in her engagement with us during our training sessions and her ability to relax indoors. We’re so excited to see continued progress with everything Charlie has showed us and keep working on her training at home and in our local environments. Although she still has a ways to go, we already feel so much more positive and confident that we will get to our desired goals and we have been having lots of fun with working with Nova! Looking forward to our follow-up sessions and we will definitely consider the other services Royvon offers as we know Nova is in great hands! Thanks to Charlie and whole team for everything.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Nicole, for your wonderful and detailed review! It means the world to us that you took the time to share your experience and recommend Royvon for residential training. Reviews like yours truly help other dog owners make the best decisions for their beloved companions.
We’re so glad that Nova’s 3-week board and train with Charlie was a positive and confidence-building journey for both Nova and your family. Our values of love, commitment, and respect are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s so rewarding to hear how our team was able to make you feel at ease from the start, especially with your initial concerns about boarding Nova for the first time.
Charlie will be thrilled to hear your kind words about the customized training plan and how it’s already making a noticeable difference in Nova’s behavior and engagement. She and the team put so much care into providing daily updates, videos, and ensuring every dog feels loved and supported during their stay—it’s wonderful to know this made a real impact for you. Nova’s progress is a testament to your dedication as owners and the amazing bond you share with her.
It’s exciting to hear how Nova has already begun to shine in her training at home, and we’re confident you’ll continue to achieve your goals with her. We can’t wait to see you at the follow-up sessions and are delighted to hear you’ll consider more of Royvon’s services in the future. Thank you again for trusting us with Nova, and we look forward to seeing you both again soon!
A million percent would recommend, Charlie went above and beyond with our nervous, reactive boy and did absolutely everything she could to make him and us feel comfortable with his residential training, the foundations she's laid with both him and us are incredibly clear and the confidence we have with him now is unreal, I was too anxious to walk him before but after leaving him at Royvon for only three weeks am now able to enjoy his walks to the fullest and now look forward to them! He is still reactive (because Rome wasn't built in a day), but we now have the proper tools in place to be able to manage him and build his confidence up to a level where he'll be able to walk past unknown dogs and ignore them, and we have no doubt that he is capable because Charlie has showed us how! It was the hardest decision ever to send him but after seeing the difference and how far he's come we would do it again in a heartbeat, we have absolutely no regrets and will forever be grateful for the care that Charlie and the whole team showed to him, and for the understanding that they showed me being a very worried puppy mum, if anyone is in two minds about whether or not Royvon will help their dog then forget any doubts, 10/10 service in every way imaginable!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an amazing review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear about the progress your boy has made and how much more confident you feel now. It’s wonderful to know that Charlie went above and beyond to support both of you—your kind words will mean so much to her and the rest of the team.
At Royvon, we’re guided by love, commitment, and respect in everything we do, and it’s fantastic to hear that you felt this throughout your experience. The foundations Charlie has helped to lay for you and your boy are just the beginning, and it’s so exciting to see how much of a difference it has already made. We know reactivity takes time, but it’s clear you’re on a great path, and we’re confident that with the tools you’ve gained, his progress will only continue!
We also deeply appreciate the trust you placed in us by choosing Royvon, especially when it was such a hard decision. Knowing that you have no regrets and that you’re enjoying walks together again is the best feedback we could hope for. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we can’t wait to see you and your boy again in the future to hear about his continued journey.
Thank you for being part of the Royvon family!
The first thing i want to say is Royvon far exceeded my expectations for what I was expecting from my 1.5 year old xl bully. I wanted the best training for him due to all the bad press they get and following neutering, he went back into some silly puppy behaviour so wanted it nipped in the bud ASAP.
Maslow went for 3 weeks residential and spent a lot of his time with Charlie who is fantastic. She sent regular updates including videos and pictures which we could go through in preparation for getting him home. We had updates daily from the report team to let me know that his report was ready. He had a great time.
I cannot recommend Charlie and the team enough. Definitely worth the money and he has come home ready to carry on with the training and is listening to me and eager to learn. If you're having issues with your dog then give the team at Royvon a call, it's made my life a lot easier already.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Zoe, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review about your experience with Royvon! We're absolutely delighted to hear that we exceeded your expectations and that Maslow had such a positive transformation during his stay with us.
It’s clear how much love and commitment you have for Maslow, especially in wanting to address his needs and set him up for success. We understand the challenges that can come with owning a breed that often faces misconceptions, and it’s wonderful to hear that Maslow has come home eager to learn and thriving in his training.
Charlie will be thrilled to hear your kind words! Her dedication and care for every dog she works with are second to none, and knowing her efforts made such a difference for you and Maslow means so much. We’re also glad the regular updates and reports gave you peace of mind throughout his stay—it’s an important part of ensuring you feel as involved and supported as possible.
Thank you again for choosing Royvon and for recommending us to others. We’re so happy to have been part of Maslow’s journey and look forward to seeing him again in the future. Your feedback truly inspires us to keep doing what we do best: helping dogs and their families live their happiest lives together!
Having used Royvon for my parents' rescue dog a few years ago with such a positive experience, they were my first thought for my 10 month old Border Collie puppy, Molly. Molly was struggling with her confidence around other dogs, reactivity to cars, lead pulling and a strong prey-drive towards small animals/birds.
Molly's trainer during her stay was Charlie who was brilliant. She was able to quickly build up a strong relationship with her and it was easy to see that Molly felt really comfortable. Charlie sent photos and videos from each training session which helped me to track her progress and are great to refer back to now that Molly is back home. Charlie quickly identified Molly's strong herding instinct and was able to direct this positively into various "games" which are great outlet.
Throughout her stay, I also received daily photos from the care team taken during her group play sessions as well as enrichment reports. She was initially only socialised with one older, calmer collie to build up her confidence before being introduced to a larger group. It was great to see her confidence grow.
Molly is much more focused on walks and confident around other dogs and cars. Thank you to Charlie and the team at Royvon!
Molly's trainer during her stay was Charlie who was brilliant. She was able to quickly build up a strong relationship with her and it was easy to see that Molly felt really comfortable. Charlie sent photos and videos from each training session which helped me to track her progress and are great to refer back to now that Molly is back home. Charlie quickly identified Molly's strong herding instinct and was able to direct this positively into various "games" which are great outlet.

We have a very timid and anxious Chihuahua who loved working with Charlie on games that helped him get more comfortable on walks and with other people. Charlie was patient and very helpful, always uploading videos of what we did so we could keep training at home.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Nicole, for taking the time to share your experience! Reviews like yours are so valuable in helping other dog owners make the best decisions for their own dogs.

Your kind words will mean so much to him personally, as he truly puts his heart into helping dogs and their owners succeed.
It’s wonderful to know that the games and strategies Charlie shared have helped your Chihuahua feel more comfortable on walks and with meeting new people.

Bert can be a little bit difficult, but we are never made to feel like he is too much to handle at Royvon. Love the fact they remember who he is when we arrive. Fabulous care by Royvon and won’t use any other kennels - thank you!

Thank you for choosing Royvon; we’re thrilled to be Bert’s home away from home! We can’t wait to welcome you and Bert back soon. 💕
Brought my German shepherd for the 3 week residential training and I’m more than happy with the results and explained everything that I needed to manage my dogs reactivity

The whole team at Royvon provides such an excellent experience and customer service. We specifically chose the 3 week behavioural training for our excitable Belgian Lab and we have seen such a huge improvement. We received daily updates throughout the 3 weeks with videos and photos of how the training was progressing and so that we could become more knowledgeable on the exercises we will need to be doing. Our trainer Charlie was very professional and genuinely treated our boy like he was one of her own. The training concluded with a thorough handover session and training pack along with several reinforcement sessions. Faultless service overall and highly recommended Charlie and the whole team at Royvon.
Response from the owner:Dear Kirk,
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! Reviews like yours truly help other dog owners make informed decisions about what’s best for their beloved pets, and we’re so grateful that you took the time to share your experience.

Your kind words about Charlie mean the world to us. She is an incredibly dedicated trainer who embodies our values of love, commitment, and respect for every dog she works with. Knowing that she treated your boy as one of her own and delivered a professional and thorough experience will mean so much to her personally.
We appreciate you choosing Royvon and look forward to seeing you and your furry companion again soon. Your feedback inspires us to keep doing what works well and to continuously improve our service as a family business.
Response from the owner:Thank you Henry for taking the time to provide appreciated feedback on your Royvon experience 🐾
We have returned from collecting our 10 ‘month old German shepherd Barry who has been with the team at Royvon for a 3 week residential to help with his reactivity. Charlie and the team have worked so well with him and following on from our handover session we feel so much more equipped to build on what he has learnt . We are looking forwards to returning for our follow ups and even though it’s a 4 hour round trip it’s been worth every penny and mile . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Royvon .
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're so grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Barry’s 3-week residential stay at Royvon. It’s fantastic to know that Charlie and the team’s dedication and hard work have helped Barry with his reactivity and that you’re feeling confident and equipped to continue building on his progress.
Your commitment to Barry’s development, even with a 4-hour round trip, is truly inspiring, and it means the world to us that you found the journey worthwhile. We’re so excited to welcome you back for your follow-up sessions and continue supporting you and Barry on this journey.
Thank you for recommending Royvon – your feedback not only encourages us but also helps other dog owners make informed decisions for their own dogs. We’re always striving to improve and deliver the best possible care, so knowing we’ve made a difference for you and Barry makes it all worthwhile.
We appreciate you choosing Royvon and look forward to seeing you both again soon!
Have taken our puppy to the puppy classes, absolutely brilliant - our trainer is kind, patient and very knowledgeable! Would recommend giving them a try.

I have been using Royvon for 3 years with Bailey and he absolutely loves his time spent there he gets so excited when he realises we where we are going and he cant wait to be checked in he is already to go through the door to the back. I have recently taken on a 7 year old pug which had never been in boarding before and booked both dogs in for a short break. I was really worried about how the new addition to the family would cope in boarding but I didn't need to worry as I had daily updates telling me how she was doing which I cant thank Royvon enough for as it meant I could relax and enjoy my time away knowing they were being really well look after.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your glowing review and for being such a loyal part of the Royvon family over the past three years with Bailey! It’s so heartwarming to hear how excited he gets about his stays with us – that tail-wagging enthusiasm truly brightens our day.
We’re also thrilled to hear that your new addition, your sweet 7-year-old pug, settled in so well! We know how nerve-wracking it can be to board a dog for the first time, especially one who hasn’t experienced it before, so we’re so glad the daily updates helped ease your worries. Keeping you informed and reassured is just one way we show our commitment to both our dogs and their families, and it means the world to us that it made a difference for you.
Thank you for trusting us with both your beloved dogs – it’s an honor to be a part of their care. Your feedback not only reassures us that we’re on the right track but also motivates us to continue improving and giving every dog the love and respect they deserve. We can’t wait to welcome Bailey and your pug back again soon!
Absolutely brilliant service and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Going back for training classes soon
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you found our service to be absolutely brilliant and that our team made such a positive impression with their friendliness and knowledge. Your kind words mean a lot to us, as we always strive to provide the best possible experience for both dogs and their owners.
We’re so excited to hear that you’ll be returning for training classes soon! It’s wonderful to have your trust, and we look forward to continuing to support you and your dog on your journey together.
As a family business, we’re committed to constantly improving by doing more of what works well, and your feedback encourages us to keep delivering the best service we can. Thank you for choosing Royvon, and we can’t wait to see you and your dog again soon! 🐾
We left our 9yr old border collie Pip with Royvon for 17 nights whilst we were away. Although Pip has been to Royvon on 2 previous occasions this is the first time we have left her for so long…
We needn’t have worried…she had the life of Reilly with the professionals.
The team at Royvon are extremely professional and facilities there are first class. Everything was organised in advance and the hand over seamless. We booked a larger room, play and walks…it was well worth doing so. The updates we received daily showed us just how much fun Pip was having and reassured us that this was the right decision.
I cannot thank the team enough for looking after Pip and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Royvon Esher. I am more than happy to book Pip in again…money well spent - my last review I said if I could give 6 ⭐️ I would; a small amendment it’s now a firm 7 out of 5 😁.
I would not hesitate to recommend that you leave your beloved pet with Royvon, they can certainly be trusted
