"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."

"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..." Read more

"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 reassuri..." Read more

"I highly recommend Royvon. My reactive dog stayed at Royvon Merthyr Tydfil for three weeks for training with Anna. It was very difficult to leave him but we received 16 videos of the training, all with comments, over the 21 days and lots of photographs of our dog playing. Having collected him we had an hour with Anna to explain the training methods, we then..." Read more

"Was really unsure about sending my puppy for boarding as she is anxious and everyone tells you that boarding is useless for anxious dogs. Anna was amazing! She came back more confident and engaged and we got pictures and videos nearly every day. Really glad she went and worth the money!"

"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 individua..." Read more

"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"

"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..." Read more

"Disappointing Service for the Price: £1130 for 13 Days. £1130.43 for 13 days / £86.96 per day during Christmas Period + £120 for Shuttle to Royvon Merthyr total (£60 each way). - Our boxer lost 4.5kg during his 13 day stay with fur malting and ribs visible (34.5kg to 30kg) - he ate like he was starving when we got him home (they also returned some of the f..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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."

"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!"

"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 knowledg..." Read more

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..." Read more

"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...." Read more

Charlie and the whole team are brilliant, they take the time to go through everything with you, reassure you and answer all of your questions in detail.

"We booked our Border Terrier in for three week of training, and the change in him has been remarkable. He’s gone from barking at every dog he sees, to just the occasional bark. It’s much more relaxing taking him for a walk these days, thanks to all the hard work from Anna, his trainer."

"Romeo and the whole of Royvon team put their hearts into providing the best training and care for dogs. Romeo really understood our large breed dog. The team went above and beyond to support our nervous dog while he adjusted to the training. We received daily video updates which was reassuring (as we were far away from the UK)."
