Home Puppy Consultations

The Benefits Of This Service

Create harmony in your home! Our advice will help you avoid arguments about how to raise your new addition, and ensure your puppy strengthens your family relationships, instead of causing tension!

Be a proud pet parent. Using the correct training techniques from the very beginning will give your pup the best head start possible, so they will grow from an adorable puppy to a perfectly-behaved dog. Be the envy of your friends with your pup’s good behaviour, and avoid the embarrassing situations that can come with incorrect training! Many owners find that their dog knows how to be obedient, but just won’t do it unless the environment is right. We’ll teach you how to overcome this, so they’re well behaved wherever you are. 

Work with the best! Royvon has over 60 years of experience as a business, and our MD Darren has been training dogs to the highest standards since he was a teenager. If you want to work with someone who will truly understand your dog and any issues they may face, you’ve come to the right place with Royvon! 

Avoid conflicting information. When it comes to puppy training, there’s so much info out there that it can be hard to know what to do and what’s not right for you. Puppy training can be a hard process at the best of times, so cut out the noise and learn the correct techniques from the get-go!

Strengthen your bond with your new best friend! We use all the latest techniques to train your puppy in a positive manner. They’ll soon learn that good behaviour makes you happy, and you and your family will become the best thing in their life. You’ll love to spend time together!

Prevent puppy training failure. Puppy training can be a difficult process, and common sense says that unfortunately, some will fail, leading to puppies that grow into dogs with bad behaviour! Don’t give these problems a chance to develop with our personalised service. The process isn’t difficult, it just needs to be delivered in the correct way. Our home puppy consultations are designed to do just that, turning your new puppy into a great success!

What Do The Home Puppy Consultations Include?

If you feel that you and your pup are suitable candidates for this type of training, please get in touch as soon as possible as spaces are very limited to just a few per week! Darren wants to work with like-minded people who want the very best, most rewarding relationships with their dogs! He will personally visit your home for a two-hour session. Don’t worry, he will take all the necessary Covid-19 related precautions to ensure a safe visit for everyone! As with all of the work Royvon does, we will uphold the highest safety standards including social distancing, sanitising, and only visiting a select few homes spaced out during the week. During the home visit, Darren will learn everything he can about your home, puppy, and family, in order to give the best tailored advice about how to overcome common problems that puppy owners face. Every family, situation, and pup is different, so getting this personalised advice as soon as possible after your puppy comes home is very important!

All the usual aspects are covered, including mouthing, toilet training, manners, obedience, and rewards. Darren’s home masterclass will teach you what you need to do in order to achieve the puppy of your dreams, involving the stimuli around your puppy that can cause bad behaviour, and what you can do to combat them. You will be taught effective strategies so that your puppy is eager to work out what you want. No matter what the environment, your puppy will want to please you!

To develop the perfect pup and for the training to work properly, owners need to put in the effort too! After all, it’s you who your puppy will be spending their life with. Darren will offer personalised WhatsApp support for a week after your home puppy consultation, to help you iron out any questions or concerns you may have. If you’re willing to work hard to train your pup, but just want to know the best methods to make your training successful, then this is the option for you. 

Our dedicated puppy trainer Charlie is also available to provide a shorter, one-hour version of the Puppy Masterclass online. These virtual sessions are useful if you want to learn more about the Royvon way of motivating puppies and reinforcing the behaviours that we want from them. This ‘Puppy Induction’ session costs £40 and can be booked online using the button below.

The Royvon Story

It’s not uncommon for sons to follow in their father’s footsteps. Here’s the story of a family who has established a great reputation as experts in the dog training and boarding world!

From 1954 Will John taught his son Roy all there was to know about German Shepherds. In the early days, it was a hobby, but after Roy met his wife-to-be Yvonne, they decided to turn their hobby into a business. In 1959 Royvon was born! They both shared the love and admiration of the German Shepherd breed, judging all over the world. Together they developed the facility in the South Wales valleys that was Royvon’s founding location.

The Royvon Story Tragedy

The Royvon story isn’t all joy and triumph, as in 1981 there was a tragic car accident where Yvonne and son Darren were seriously injured and Roy lost his life at just 43 years of age. The years that followed were understandably extremely hard for the family and the Royvon business suffered as a result. The extent nearly led to bankruptcy but the family’s love of passion for each other and their dogs was the saviour and Royvon was to triumph once again.

Darren was only 9 when the accident happened. However, his father instilled the passion for the business in him. As a result, Roy’s legacy lived on through Darren, Yvonne, and many associates that held Roy in such high regard. Darren often talks about the support he received from ‘dog people’ who constantly told him stories about how respected his father was and how great a ‘dog man’ he was.

Developing the Royvon Story

The entrepreneur in Roy was embedded in his son Darren. Every aspect of Royvon life excited him, and he had the drive to push the business to become as successful as possible. In this case, success means helping as many dog owners as possible to resolve the challenges they face with their dogs behaviours! Darren made a conscious effort in his 20s to develop the business and employ trainers at his level so that more people can learn of the knowledge that had been gained from his father and his father before him.

Darren started off by practicing his dog training skills as a teenage boy on dogs staying at Royvon’s boarding kennels. It turned out that owners were literally ‘over the moon’  about what a young lad could do to turn their dog into a fully trained pooch while they were away on holiday!

It was soon established by Darren that it was owner training that was really needed for well-trained dogs, so that’s where his efforts were diverted so that the programme could be as helpful as possible to Royvon’s customers. Darren’s drive was even more fueled by large numbers of dog owners travelling the length and breadth of the country so that their dogs could go through the Royvon programme.
