We are so grateful to have found Royvon and the team! They have been fantastic caring for Henry on his recent short stays to get him settled and happy for his 2 week holiday at Royvon. 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, it has enabled us to go away and relax knowing he is well cared for and understood. Especially for Tilly who has primarily been Henry’s handler and takes the time with him. Thanks!

Great facility and the people working there know what they're doing. It's been a pleasure working with Royvon on our 2-week residential training. Especially Romeo. Highly recommended

We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience at Royvon. Our spaniel Riley is reactive and anxious and the entire staff and setup were so reassuring and impressive from the moment we arrived for his Confidence Stay. Huge special thanks to Tilly who looked after Riley on his first day, shared photos and a video with us of his progress and clearly spent real time building a bond with him and giving him the space and patience to adjust to the new environment.

It has been very difficult for us to leave Riley in anybody else’s care because he requires experience and a controlled environment and we were blown away by how intuitively and confidently the team at Royvon took care of him and put our minds at ease. Millie who checked Riley out was fantastic too and had spent extra time with him that morning, and everybody we met on site was so responsive, kind and professional. It is life changing to know there is a place we can trust with a tricky but beloved dog, and we are looking forward to Riley building strong relationships with the team there. Thank you Tilly, Millie and all at Royvon!

Our German Shepherd, Sisu, has stayed at Royvon (Esher) well over 10 times now and every single visit has been a fantastic experience for her and for us.

Sisu absolutely loves it at Royvon and gets excited every time we pull into the car park!

From the moment we drop her off, we know she’s in great hands. The staff are professional, caring and clearly passionate about what they do.

Sisu always comes home happy, healthy and tired after enjoying days packed with play, training and love from the team :).

It gives us total peace of mind knowing she’s getting great care and we never hesitate to book her into Royvon when we’re going away.

We highly recommend Royvon!

We dropped our dog reactivish River for confidence stay. Millie and Ionnna did tremendous work while checking her in and out. River is usual drama queen when she is away from us. She had a lot of fun and she was quite happy when I picked her up. She usually run towards the car to leave quickly. Instead she chose to stay and keep sniffing around.

Molly enjoyed her long stay very much. She can’t wait to go back!

I decided to send my dog Buddy to Royvon for a 3 week residential course after reading several favourable reviews plus it was only a 30 min drive from my home. I adopted Buddy from the RSPCA. When I got him he was very reactive when on the lead due to the fact that once he left his home after 8 weeks he then spent about 8/9 months kept in a shed in a cage. He had never been socialised and seeing other dogs was freaking him out. Romeo, one of the trainers at Royvon, was certain that he would benefit from the course and said it was not aggression but frustration ...he was not wrong. Buddy is a much calmer dog when he sees other dogs, no more barking & jumping around like a lunatic. It means I can now take him to places we were not able to go to before. Watching Romeo, on the videos that we got sent daily, you can tell heclearly knows his job and is so calm in his approach to training. I would definitely recommend Royvon and in particular Romeo if you have a reactive dog. Since Buddy has returned home I have been on 2 one to ones with Romeo which are included in the cost with another booked in this week. Buddy is still a work in progress and Romeo has shown me techniques which I can carry forward with Buddy's ongoing training. In my view it was money well spent and I am looking forward to our holiday in Cornwall next month as now it won't be so stressful.

The welcome from the staff upon arrival is as friendly as a dog wagging its tail at you. The checkin left me feeling confident that I was leaving my dog in good hands. The regular updates throughout my holiday created certainty and trust. When I returned to pick up my dog I couldn’t believe that she didn’t actually want to leave. I have never ever had that experience before.
I can now go on holiday knowing that my dog will be having a great time too.

Our dog has gone to the Esher boarding for the last 5 years.He is not an easy dog,but he loves it there

It’s the third time we’ve left Alfie at Royvon Esher. This time he had some medical issues prior to his stay. I checked with Royvon that they would be happy to incorporate medicine and specific requests regarding exercise and they were happy to help. Alfie loves his time there and races off when we get there. I love the daily photos we receive and also the updates on what he’s been up to. We miss him so much when he’s away but it’s also good to know he’s in a safe place with care and comfort. Thanks guys , you’re all great
Alfie and familyxx

We would just like to thank Romeo for the work he has done with Leo. His knowledge of how to deal with dogs and support developing their confidence in different situations is excellent.
Both Leo and Pippin had a great time at Royvon, staff all very pleasant and clearly love working with the dogs. The videos of the dogs out and about shows how happy they are whilst on their holidays. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Royvon again.

I started 1:1 training with Mimi at Royvon in December 24 for my 8 month old labrador puppy, Gus and it was such a great decision. Gus is quite large for a labrador, very bouncy, strong and excitable and I was struggling with him listening to me, with recall and general overexcitement around other dogs. Walks had become a bit stressful because he just wanted to play with every dog he saw.
Over the last few months, Mimi has done a brilliant job of training both Gus and me and I cannot recommend her and Royvon highly enough. Gus responded to her immediately and tried so hard to do everything that she asked of him. Her patience and clear understanding of what Gus and I were struggling with was reassuring. The notes sent after each training session were so helpful and ensured that I was consistent with training between sessions. At 12 months old, Gus will now walk on a loose lead, check in with me before going to another dog and sit quietly as other dogs walk by. We have both loved every 1:1 session with Mimi and look forward to doing more training with her.

My daughter came across the residential training program at Royvon when searching for more training for our young Border Collie rescue Maysie ......as our last resort. We had tried various trainers and an animal behaviourist but nothing seemed to work well with her. To be honest none of the trainers would come near her because she was so reactive towards them, lunging barking and trying to nip or bite. We had resorted to using a muzzle whenever anyone came into the house and keeping her in a separate room or on a leash. At home with us she is very loving and affectionate but just a knock at the door or anyone walking or driving past the house can send her into a barking frenzy jumping up aggressively at the door or window. She was also reactive to almost everything outside - dogs, cats, children, people, cars, bikes and could lunge and bark aggressively without any warning. She could be so unpredictable that we were just constantly prepared for bad behaviour and if she was good then that was just an added bonus.
We dropped Maysie off for her initial assessment with Romeo all muzzled up to be safe. We spent approx an hour and a half with him, walked through his training routes including the town, playing fields and railway station. We watched some of the training techniques he would be using and then we left her there looking very sorry for herself. Within an hour of us leaving Romeo sent a video through of them both and Maysie was eating treats out of his hand - muzzle free.....we were absolutely gobsmacked! We visited again the 3rd day for a training seasion and then left her there for her residential. We received daily updates, photos and videos from the Royvon Team showing how she was improving and also enjoying additional playtime and socialisation with some of the other dogs.
When we returned to Royvon we had a 3 hour handover session with Romeo walking again through his training route. We were able to see how much Maysie had improved since our first visit and tried some of the techniques ourselves with guidance from Romeo. We then a further couple of hours with him again the following day before returning home with Maysie.
We have definitely seen positive improvements in her behaviour since she has been in training with Romeo and cared for by the Royvon team. She seemed to have taken really well to everybody there and had been giving them all her special Maysie cuddles by the time she left.
Over our first week at home we have been continuing to incorporate the training we have learned into our walks. It has been a bit of a challenging week transitioning back to home life but we are committed to putting the work in and Romeo has been keeping in touch with his invaluable guidance and support.
We have a follow up session booked in at the beginning of July and are confident that with the tools, guidance and additional support from Romeo and that Maysie will continue to improve and that these new behaviors she is learning will just become natural for her.
Romeo is undeniably passionate about his dogs in his care. He genuinely wants to achieve a positive outcome for both dogs and their owners. His professionalism, knowledge, understanding and empathy shown towards Maysie and his ongoing follow up support for ourselves has been nothing short of amazing. We can't thank Romeo and the Royvon team enough and look forward to returning back to visit in July.

Thanks to Chloe for looking after Willow in her settlement stay, she is a nervous 10 month old pup and you really helped her settle. We are now confident enough to book her in for a week.

An amazing place. We are treated as part of the family. Romeo has worked with our overanxious and highly reactive German shepherd Hugo. As owners the transformation has been far more than we could have hoped for. Hugo will always be a work in progress, but he is so much happier and less anxious and reactive than he was. Romeo is highly skilled and a highly experienced trainer, he uses his tools and techniques and knowledge of dog behaviour to help dogs like Hugo. Romeo also helps us with training and moving on to obedience training. Romeo treats his dogs with kindness and with compassion. There are no harsh techniques just reward based training, by understanding each dog in his charge. Hugo is a much happier dog and we are much happier owners. Hugo has had 13 week training session with Romeo and the extra lessons that come with the training session on a weekly or monthly basis, we've also put Hugo in for boarding and some extra training. Also found his new best friend in Kelsey one of the other trainers. He loves her to bits and responds very well to her. I cannot recommend highly enough Royvon. The consequences of not finding royvon would have been very grave indeed and I thank Romeo, Kelsey, Darren and the team for helping Hugo live a better life and consequently us as well. Donna and Moreno and Hugo

We are so happy we found Royvon and would highly recommend them .We have a very nervous little Jack Russel and we're worried about her coping with kennels but booked a confidence stay to see how she would cope.Tilly looked after her and Bambi took to her very quickly and we were so impressed with the care and attention she received she coped really well and it's such a relief to know we have somewhere for her to stay where she will be so we'll cared for Tilly was fantastic with her we got a report and photos and videos to show us how she was getting on which helped me relax knowing she was doing well .Royvon go above and beyond to care for the dogs and I would 100% recommend them .

Absolutely fantastic staff. Fagin had a great stay and came home very happy. We look forward to him seeing the team again very soon

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

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

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

I can’t say enough good things about the Royvon Playhouse Bridgend. The team always welcome my dog to daycare by name which makes me feel completely at ease. They’re warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog, Oreo, always runs right in with his tail wagging every morning as he’s so excited — that says everything!

I love getting the daily photo updates and seeing him playing with his friends. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in a safe and stimulating environment while I’m at work.

Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for peace of mind and a tired, happy dog at the end of the day!

Our three year old cane corsa hadn’t been socialised and couldn’t walk in public when she arrived in the uk in November. After trying and failing to make her a happy and well adjusted dog by ourselves, we reached out to Royvon about their residential training.

Olive has just completed her three weeks intense training and it’s like we’ve brought home a different dog. Not only is she calmer in the house, but we can now walk her without her being petrified of every noise and person that comes near her. She’s even just walked the school run with me.

Romeo and the team at Royvon have been a godsend to us, and we can’t wait to see how much further they can help Olive grow into a much loved happy and confident family pet.

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

We had an amazing series of sessions for 2 months with Charlie. She thought us so much about our 9 months old Malinois, he achieved a lot during this time. We really appreciate her dedication and professionalism. Our dog just loved her and all the sessions, we can only recommend. Thank you

We would highly recommend the Royvon team. We have recently started to use them for boarding our very stubborn, and particular Chow Chow. The team there have been incredibly helpful, patient, kind and understanding. We had bad experiences with kennels before and our experience with Royvon is second to none. Great facilities, very professional staff and they treat each dog as an individual. They are willing to work with dogs, such as chow chows, that other places wouldn’t even consider. If you really want a home away from home with caring, professional and great team members look no further! Especially big thanks to Chloe as she has been integral to our dogs integration into the kennel.

We recently had my German Shepherd Flo put into training over a three week period for reactivity and obedience training on short lead and long lead walks. Romeo has done an incredible job working with Flo working on her behaviour around other dogs in public, at dog parks or walking down the street already there has been a massive improvement. All staff at Royvon are incredible and very kind but Romeo has gone above and beyond to help train Flo. Training is still ongoing but so far I can say her behaviour has improved greatly.

This was coco’s first visit to Royvon. Romeo trained our previous dog for many years. We would not leave Coco anywhere else but Royvon. Royvon is a special place that really looks after dogs in such an amazing way. We recommend it to all our doggy friends. Coco learnt basic puppy obedience, walking on the lead, recall, socialised with other puppies of a similar age and had an absolute ball during her holiday. She can’t wait to return for more training later in the summer and hopefully show off all her new skills to Romeo! Bravo Royvon and especially Romeo who is a truly exceptional dog trainer. Thank you.

No problem boarding an anxious rescue dog.

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

Romeo has been incredible with my two rescue pups.The transformation has been incredible and they absolutely adore him! Having a reactive dog can be soul destroying- but Romeo has taken the time to train me as much as the dogs, taking into account what I want, my schedule and giving me tools that have increased my confidence in handling two energetic dogs. And the rest of team Royvon have been brilliant - making myself and the dogs feel at home (including in the office- pictured). It’s a process, but I have gone from being overwhelmed, terrified (after someone threatened to shoot my dogs because they barked at him) and alone, to feeling supported and more confident with every session.

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!

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.

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!

As this being my dogs first ever stay away from home I could not be more pleased with the care my very anxious cane corso received . Very calm environment and have never seen my dog so relaxed . Chloe has been an absolute Star and has built an incredible bond with Rosie in just 24 hours absolutely amazing highly highly recomend !!

Royvon took excellent care of our puppy. He is a pretty nervous dog but they had him settled and happy after the first day. Their trainer Romeo has been excellent too, we saw a big improvement in our puppy's anxiety around cars.

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.

They have always taken fantastic care of our dog Mishka, would recommend

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.

Romeo is an excellent dog trainer with a remarkable ability to communicate with dogs. He has gone out of his way to support us in finding a new way to manage our dog that has been very rewarding for all concerned.

Through daily videos and photos we could see our dog's progress in his 3 week stay. He responded well to Romeo's training, really engaging with him and listening to him. All the staff are so friendly and helpful - particularly in the office! This has been a very good experience for us all

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!

Our pup went for a confidence stay, and not only did he have a great time, but they also instilled confidence in us with how ofter they checked in with us, the care for Ted and the detailed report and photos - We cant thank the team enough x

Royvon has been a wonderful find for us and we would thoroughly recommend.
The choice of services available makes boarding here a seamless home away from home experience for our Labrador, Dune. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional and our dog is always very well looked after. The daily updates and photos alongside Royvon's insta posts give us the confidence to leave our furry family member in their capable hands.

Thank you Royvon. Royvon looked out dog, communication was great. Reports and pictures always shared. They also are very good when our dog was feeling a little unwell and looked after him very well and kept me updated. Amazing will use again
