''I am so glad that I found Storm, and I highly recommend him. He gave us some excellent tips that has already made a big difference in one day of practise. We feel so confident and at ease after his visit.
Thank you so much Splendid K9!''

''I was gobsmacked at the change in Puppy. She no longer charges up to other dogs aggressively barking. Her fear has been quelled. Thank you SO much Storm!''
Elloise Du Toit
''Storm was wonderful with Max! He clearly knew what he was doing, and had such a great understanding of dog behavior. We saw a change in Max immediately during the session, and now feel confident going forward. We have been following Storm's advice and see progress already. Storm was very reasonably priced, especially because he is honest and told us that we don't need more sessions, rather we just need repetition in what he taught us. I highly recommend Splendid K9!''
Madeline Johnson
''I asked Storm to help me with my very reactive dog. Storm was very calm and patient with my dog Rylie and by the end of the hour my dog was calm and relaxed. I am very grateful for your help. Thank you Storm.''
