Back to Balance Canine Behaviourist  Reviews 

Had Azz out last Monday to assess our 9 month boxers behaviour. He was very good, explained where we were going wrong. We have seen a change already in her behaviour when we come into the house. The walking on a lead is getting better, a working progress.

Outstanding, transformative dog behaviour assessment!
Azz is highly skilled and experienced, also scientifically knowledgeable yet knows how to explain canine psychology aspects in a lay language.
What stood out most was how quickly Azz connected with my dog and how he helped me see the world from my dog's perception, how small, everyday details—things we usually don't even pay attention to—can make a massive difference to a dog's mindset.
Azz’s approach was calm, compassionate, and packed with practical wisdom. On top of that, the pricing was incredibly fair and reasonable given how much clarity, progress, and peace of mind was achieved in just a few hours.
If you are looking for a true expert who actually gets results and helps you understand your dog on a deeper level, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Truly a 5-star experience!

Very informative and helpful. Helped us to understand how to deal with our dogs anxiety and the things we need to improve on, which will help our dogs overall behaviour

Azz is fantastic. From the initial phone call to visiting us at home, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable—I genuinely could have listened to him for hours more!
He really takes the time to understand both you and your dog as individuals, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. The plan he's created for Archie is tailored to him and focuses on his barking and attention-seeking behaviours. He also introduced enrichment activities for Archie, and it has been a joy to see Archie so happy doing something he loves this morning.
We started following the plan straight away, and even after the very first evening we noticed a significant improvement. We're excited to see what continued consistency will bring.

Azz only visited us yesterday morning! - but I already felt I had to leave a review because we were so impressed with both him and the approach he's taken. If the results after one day are anything to go by, I have every confidence that Archie will continue to thrive and improve with this plan. I couldn't recommend Azz more highly!

What made my experience in this company and giving it 5***** is because how quick they respond when u first get in touch with um they are also polite and mainly how quick the assessment got done within a short distance of time before a court case anyway top credits guys got my dog back thank you

We approached Azz for help with our Romanian rescue, who had started being reactive to people on walks and when entering our house. Even after just one session we saw a huge improvement in Milo. Azz is friendly, non-judgemental, clearly very knowledgeable on dog behaviour, and explains everything really well. He also sends a detailed report after each session, so you don’t have to take notes and can fully engage with him while he’s there. Highly recommend!

Aaron was very attentive and came across very experienced. At the end I didn't require his services but he was very informative and willing to help. I really recommend him.

Azz was brilliant. He was so helpful, had a wealth of knowledge and was honest. He took his time to assess the whole picture with Shadow and identified the steps I needed to take to get Shadow on the right path. I saw an immediate improvement and I am immensely grateful to Azz for his invaluable advice and ongoing support.

My wife and I have had our miniature dachshund for almost 4 years. We love her, but she has never been an easy dog. She has always been anxious, reactive and often territorial to the point we would struggle to have people visit the house due to the constant barking. We’ve tried many different techniques in the past and nothing has ever worked. We’ve had two sessions with Azz and we can already see a change in her. Following his advice we have changed our habits and we’re seeing the rewards with a calmer, happier and far less reactive/ anxious dog. Still work to be done, but we’re already in a position we didn’t think was possible. Azz is extremely knowledgeable, patient and clear with what we need to do. If any of the above sounds familiar, then I would thoroughly recommend!

Azz is extremely knowledgeable. He has helped me to understand my dog. A lot of the actions I make can have a lot to do with my dogs behaviour. I found him helpful, professional, personable and generally very good at what he does. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a helping hand to help them and their dogs.

Azz spent time getting to know us and our rescue dog. He was very professional at all times and we have seen an improvement on the dogs behaviour already based on his recommendations.

That i had most help i have received from anyone no else gave any help at all while this man was getting me all info i needed got me private photos of my dog which the police didnt bother try doing anything at all

came with me to court twice when it was the courts that messed up the first order they gave us

anything better than anyone else did got me dog home i couldnt praise my experience any better
This is the man for the job

My XL Bully was very excitable & would jump up at people. She just wants to be everyone friend but due to her size needed to learn personal boundaries too.
Azz was absolutely amazing & very passionate about what he does 🤗 he is definitely a MASTER in his work. It took just a few hours with Azz to address this issue. Now I can have multiple visitors at home with no issues 🙏
I will be forever thankful to Azz 🙏
💯 recommend. BEST IN THE BUSINESS 🐶🐕🐾 #dontblamethebreed

We highly recommend Aaron, over the year’s he has helped with our beagles, he has transformed Buddy’s behaviour, always at hand to talk any situation through, very knowledgeable no nonsense approach.

Azz what’s great. Very knowledgeable and made the whole experience seem easy. When he left I felt very positive about the future for me and my dog

Azz worked wonders for us. With just one extended session, he completely improved our toy poodle's behavior. Chico used to act like he was in charge, leading to severe separation anxiety and constant barking when alone. Azz taught us how to change Chico's mindset, benefiting both him and us. We're incredibly grateful to Azz.

Really insightful and great advice. Seems to be working so far, Rosie is a much happier dog!

Excellent behaviourist trainer helped put us on the right lines to stop our dogs reactive behaviour on walks

We had a dog with separation anxiety. Before Azz came, we couldn’t do the food shop without taking Max with us. Azz’ knowledge and experience was worth every penny. He spent 5 hours with us and we have now managed to leave Max alone for 3 hours less than a month after our session. Azz gave great advice and always had a story or fact to back up what he was saying. We now have a routine in place that’s bettered our relationship with our dog. Fully recommend if you are willing to put the work in!

Azz was almost a miracle maker. In one long session he transformed our toy poodle's behaviour for the better. Chico had suffered from a superiority complex, imagined he was top dog and that lead to acute separation anxiety - barking incessantly when left alone. Azz showed us how to 'dethrone"Chico and make him, as well as us, happier. Big thank you to Azz.
