☕️🐾 Town training with Toast!

Toast had a fantastic session walking around town before stopping for a coffee ! 🐶❤️

She was such a good girl, showing great focus and settling beautifully despite all the distractions around her. 🌟

Every outing is an opportunity to build confidence, practise calm behaviour and put those training skills into the real world. So proud of her progress! 🥰👏

What a crazy three weeks Obi has had! 🐾❤️

Obi has worked so incredibly hard throughout his time with us, and it’s been amazing to see just how far he has come. He’s learned to trust, grown in confidence, and made such positive progress in learning to regulate his emotions and manage situations that once felt overwhelming.

Alongside building his confidence, we’ve worked on his overall obedience, engagement, and helping him make better choices in different environments. Every little step forward has been a big achievement, and Obi should be so proud of himself!

We’re so proud of the progress he’s made, the trust he’s built with us, and the effort he’s put into every session. 🐶❤️

Tomorrow, he gets to see his lovely parents for his handover, where we’ll share everything he’s learned and help them continue his journey at home.

Well done, Obi! What a journey it’s been. 🥹🐾❤️

🐾🎓 Beginners Puppy Class Graduates! 🎓🐾

These puppies have come such a long way, and it’s been amazing watching their confidence, focus and skills grow throughout the course. 🥹❤️

They were all so happy to graduate Beginners Puppy Class — and what better way to finish than with a little playtime! 🐶💨

Well done, puppies! 🎓🐾❤️

In 1959, a husband and wife — Roy and Yvonne James — turned their shared love of dogs into something extraordinary.

From a small home in Merthyr Tydfil, they built Royvon, a place where dogs were trained with patience, care, and understanding — long before “force-free” was a familiar phrase.

Today, 31 years since Yvonne passed, her legacy still shapes everything we do.
Every happy reunion, every wagging tail, every family who finds joy again with their dog — it all began with their belief that love and learning go paw in paw.

Thank you, Roy and Yvonne, for starting something that still changes lives.

Tails wagging since 1959. 🐾💛

With one of the Royvon values being 'Respect like a Retriever', a big part of that is recognising that every dog is an individual. Our boarding options are customisable to suit your dog's personality at Royvon Esher and Royvon Country Retreat in Merthyr. At Royvon Playhouse the free flow format allows your dog to choose the activity they want during playtime.

What does your dog want to do on holiday?

Respect is mutual.

At Royvon we respect dogs and always treat them with care and love.
We respect owners, listening to your own situation to make sure training is appropriate and beneficial for your own circumstances and goals.
And we respect each other: our hard-working happy team makes Royvon a great place for you and your dog to train, stay and play.

Your dog can't tag you in this, but they would if they could, because they love you that much! 😍

We love dogs, you love your dog, your dog loves you.

That's why we treat dogs with respect and why we never use force. Pain doesn't teach behaviours, it teaches reactions. If you are exploring dog training options, whether you select Royvon or not, please consider the harm that force-led or 'balanced dog training' can do to your dog's trust and self-esteem.

We love dogs of all personalities, breeds and ages at Royvon.

That includes those who have fear or anxiety and display aggression as a result. Our Behaviour Modification Training programme was designed specifically to help dogs with these kinds of issues. You only have to visit our Google reviews to hear about the great results that owners see in their dogs to know the importance of this work.

If your dog has reactivity or aggression, for whatever reason, we can still help with training and boarding. Just get in touch to talk to one of our expert team or book an assessment through our website - all contact links in our bio.

Treating dogs isn't just about toys and foodie bits, it's affection, security, fun, stimulating their minds and giving them exercise. A content dog is a calm dog.

Our training options help you and your dog to build a trusted bond that helps them to be calm in different environments, to know when to settle down and when to look to you for guidance if they are uncertain. Whether your dog is learning these skills or has anxiety issues that prevent them relaxing, we listen to what you need and work with you to meet your training goals, through residential or non-residential training options. Get in touch to have a chat about the treat that training is for your dog.

Weekend mornings hit different!

For humans it might mean a relaxed coffee, sport clubs, the weekend papers or simply a lie-in. For dogs, the routine changes too, from their beloved owners being around more, to walks in new places. New smells, new friends and more time for fun and affection make weekends exciting but exhausting!

If your dog's training needs are most obvious when you are at home over the weekend and you would like to explore our training options, we are still open, you can contact us via email or WhatsApp at the link in bio, or book a call through your online account at royvon.co.uk
