"We recently brought our rescue dog, Blue, for an introduction/tour at the Merthyr location and were shown around by Richard, who was incredibly informative, warm and lovely with our shy girl. He gave us so many useful tips and great advice, and we instantly felt comfortable trusting him with Blue and some of her anxieties. We picked her up today after her fi..." Read more

"We’ve been fans of Royvon since our pup first boarded there at 8 months. The team has become an important part of our lives with their reliable, professional and friendly canine care. Although he’s a generally well behaved dog, he picked up some snappy behaviours with other hounds aged around 3. Royvon stepped in last year to give us guidance and help change..." Read more

"Our little dog just loves his time at Royvon, whether that’s boarding or as a day visitor. Dogs and their owners get a warm, professional welcome from Ioana &. Joanna, and our dog has a packed day being looked after by Leanne’s wonderful team of kind, experienced canine carers. The whole team is a credit to Royvon’s owners, we feel lucky to have them as o..." Read more

"We have just completed our first 2 hour Masterclass at Home with our 10 week old Cocker Spaniel - Honey. Mimi was our puppy trainer from Royvon who came to our home. Mimi was a wonderful warm and lovely person who had patience for us and Honey. I didn't realise how much we could all learn in just 2 hours and feel much more comfortable knowing how to spend..."

"We have just picked our dog up from an evaluation over night stay at Royvon. Because she is due to board for a week next month and has never been away from us, we thought it best to see if she would cope in kennels. Richard, her evaluator, has been wonderful with her, gave us plenty of feed back and we had a report and lots of pictures as well. Our dog had c..." Read more

"They been such a blessing for us. Having a very anxious dog has made things challenging, but going to Royvons and getting help from Romeo has been amazing. (see Instagram posts) Romeo has build up a bond with our dog, he has the patience to go at her pace and now they have a great friendship and even play together. She is doing loads better and me as a 'dog..." Read more

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 an..." Read more

"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

"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!"

"We have used Royvon for a few years now for our Boxer dog, Dexter. Initially we chose Royvon based on reputation and proximity to work - for kennel cover when we go away, rather than for behaviour modification. We would absolutely recommend Royvon as the staff, both those with the dogs and those who are more behind the scenes (admin etc) are fantastic - in a..." Read more
