Thank you Armand for coming out to our home to help with the meet & greet between our new puppy and Odin. After 2 crazy days of no sleep, Odin not accepting her and me thinking of giving up, in you stride and sorted them out. They love running around playing, sharing snacks and toys. So amazing seeing them settled. Thank you for all your help, advise and support. See you soon for puppy classes
Linda Chemaly2024
The service i received from Armand was above and beyond. Struggled with so many trainers ect. He sorted my very aggressive reactive dog very quickly. From me being terrified to taking my dog out, to now having beach days, long walks just the 2 of us and im finally happy to say my best friend is able to share beautiful moments in nature with me. Was not easy but i was shown every step of the way what to expect and how to deal with it. Forever grateful.
Karin Rackley2024
Armand is extremely intuitive when it comes to dogs. He came to our home to help with our latest anxious rescue and gave us some brilliant ideas and tools to help her. I also took her to Armand to have her nails cut as the vet could only cut 2 nails in 45 minutes. He was so calm and dogs really respond well to him. Within 5 minutes him and his assistant had cut all her nails and she was not traumatized in any way. I would definitely recommend Armand for any of your doggie needs.
Liesel2024
Five star rating. Knows what he is doing, punctual snd knowledgeable about Boerbulls. Ever ready to share, should you want to know something.
Kevin Wood2023
Armand's expertise came with high praise, and rightly so. When we welcomed a new furry friend into our home, tensions with our first dog were initially high. Armand stepped in with reassuring wisdom, promising that with time, they would become inseparable pals. True to his word, they're now thick as thieves, the best of chums. Our journey with Armand continued as he navigated us through the intricacies of leash training. His clear and supportive guidance has set me firmly on the path to becoming a proficient handler. Each walk is a delightful learning curve, a step towards the harmonious outings that both I and my dogs now enjoy. Armand's expertise in canine behaviour is unmatched, and his mentorship has proven invaluable. I am entirely persuaded that one would be hard-pressed to find a better guide for their dogs. My endorsement of his services is given with the utmost confidence and sincerity.
Andre2023
Armand has an in-depth knowledge of animal behaviour but also takes owner into consideration to work on a program that will help animal and owner
Delphine Noakes2023
Armand came highly recommended when I was looking for someone to help introducing our puppy, Bella to our 3yr old pitbull, Thor. I was extremely nervous and wondered if we made the right decision to get a puppy as Thor just seemed not to like her at all. I called Armand who was an absolute God send. After just one session with them and a week later of us practicing what Armand has taught us and they are getting along very well. We are really grateful to Armand assisting us with Bella and Thor who look like they will be best pals. Much appreciated🐾.
Salomé Thyssen2023
Armand is a fantastic trainer. We have had much difficulty with our fur kids and in just a few sessions we have seen their behavior improve significantly. We would definitely recommend his services.
L & C2023
Best experience so far. Armand is so knowledgeable, calm and honest. He really has your dog and your best interest and well being at heart. If you put in the work- you will get results. Thank you !
Donna McPherson2023
It was an absolute pleasure have Armand work with Tallulah. Wish we had known about you long ago. His knowledge and dog whispering nature is amazing to witness.
Katrin2023
Armand and his team changed the life of my babies! Being little rescues and reactive, they constantly seemed stressed and anxious, especially on walks, which they love by the way! Through weekly coaching and training for the last 3-4 months, and after attending the beginner and bootcamp classes, my Santie and Dougie are MUCH happier, and more relaxed on their jogs and walks with Mom. From not being able to enjoy 10 minutes together, up to an hour each several times a week is the norm, and without pulling and tantrums! Thank you so much for all your help, advice and guidance. #livelifealways
Christine2023
Armand diagnosed a couple of issues and was able to help us a great deal. My 3 girls also got a day at the salon... deshedding wasn't as great as I hoped but I guess this is just a process. .. my girls looked clean and felt super soft!! Will definitely recommend and use Armand again !!
Jo Shambler2023
Armand was quick to assist with my dog's situation at home, very professional and friendly. He goes out of his way to explain the pets behaviour and the remedies for it You can see the passion he has for the work 10/10 recommended
Elandia Van Renen2023
Absolutely fantastic services. He is well knowledgeable, and also step by step advises his clients on instructions going forward.
Candice Taylor2023
What an awesome guy . Is there something he can not do or help with? He helped my 4 dogs, and all 4 had different problems . And I now believe you can teach an old dog new tricks, as he has proven it to be true. Will recommend him any day.
Danielle2023
Armand woorde kan nie beskryf hoe dankbaar ons is nie. Jy het 2 honde se harte so bly gemaak. Ek het nooit gedink dit gaan moontlik wees vir hulle om maats te raak nie en toe kom doen jy jou magic in n paar minute! !! The world is definitely a better place because of you!
Bianca Meyer2023
Armand is excellent. Our dog is completely different when he is around her. Thank you for helping us. You are really the best
Jo Nel2023
Armand has read the dogs' body language since he stepped into their territory. His advice made a massive difference in our home. Apply his recommendations, you won't be sorry.
Annerie2023
Armand is FANTASTIC!!! I can’t thank him enough for an interesting and informative session with me and my dogs. He handled the few problems that felt like mountains to me, as if they were molehills. Everything made so much sense. Armand has a quiet authority and knows how to handle a problematic dog(s). Ten out of ten! Armand is the best!!
Laetitia2023
Armand assisted me with 2 introductions successfully! Amazing service and always willing to help!
Jayd2023
Armand came to our home to do an introduction for our new adopted fur baby with our old dogs. He was absolutely amazing with the intro, so friendly and helpful. He gave us really good information and even helped to clip the doggies nails. I can highly recommend Armand, what a passion for dogs and extremely knowledgeable.
Nicolette van Rooyen2022
wow wow wow 1 session and i see great improvements i have so much respect my life has changed over night and my dogs are less anxious highly recommend Armand
Charmaine Templer2022
Cesar Millan who?! Armand is literally a wizard when it comes dogs. We've learned (and unlearned) so much over the past few months! We cannot recommend a better behaviourist. He is an easy going friendly face we look forward to seeing on Wednesdays. Communication with Armand has been a breeze! He is always quick to reply and eager to help with any queries or needs. 10 thumbs/paws up from me and Luca
Nadia2022
Armand the amazing dog Behaviurist MR AA ! Professional, always punctual and a true dog lover. Armand connected to my Boerbull in a few seconds. I reached out to Armand to assist me in socializing Rocky my 4 year old black Boerbull. Within a few lessons both myself and Rocky where ready to conquer the outside world and I was confident to allow visitors into my home with Rockys completely changed friendly attitude towards my friends ! Thanks Armand my life has changed with your assistance! With your kind heart and love for doggies and all the charity work you contribute to I wish you only the very best ! May your business go and grown from strength to strength as you deserve !
Margherita Ferreira2022
Armand is the epitomy of the proverbial dog whisperer. He walked into our lives and our dogs instantly behaved themselves. Our cats are eternally grateful & I am now better trained & skilled at handling my household. Highly recommend his presence, service & expertise for anyone willing to be a more informed, skilled & confident pet owner. Our household humbly thanks you for restoring harmony & introducing some valuable tips for maintaining good relationships between pets, both dogs & cats & family members, as well as our school community. Much appreciated & so worth the time, care & value for money well spent.
Tonia Koegelenberg2022
Always a huge pleasure working with Armand as he is very experienced and professional… whether it be him doing an intro for us at a foster or forever home for one of our rescue dogs, grooming or just general advice… we wouldn’t trust or use anybody else ever :)
Bianka Lerm2022
Armand het ons met ons boerboel gehelp en die raad en oplossings wat hy gee, werk 100%. Dis asof hierdie man selfs weet wat die honde DINK! Armand weet presies wat hy doen en waarvan hy praat - mens kan sien hy het 'n passie vir honde. Hys eerlik en reguit met die advies wat hy gee...want dit werk. Ek sal hom enige tyd aanbeveel en definitief weer kontak indien nodig.
Tanya Swanepoel2022
Baie goeie diens. Vir angstige Mia baie rustig laat voel, asook senuwee ekke. Lol. Bella loop nou op n leiband soos n "natural"
Tanya Huysamen2022
His years of experience make him an excellent behaviorist. Caring, practical and super knowledgeable. His grooming skills are Brilliant too. Not rushed and dogs are treated with calm, kindness.
Tracy Richardson2021
Compassionate, patient, reliable, understanding, caring and professional are just a few words that describe the amazing experience we had with Armand. He exudes passion for what he does and instilled a feeling of calm in the way he handled our dogs. He is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviour and we have recommended him to so many people who have all had the same positive experience!
Debbie Johnson2022
The best behaviorist. I referred him to friends and they were amazed by his service aswell. Professional, delivers what he promised before meeting the fur kids and we still apply the tips he gave us and our fur family getting along so well.
Janine2022
Armand is a super friendly guy who helped us with our very anxious Staffie and controlling Jack Russell. Our furbabies are doing so much better. Thank you so much for all your help!
Sam Boswell2022
We have been working with Armand on and off for the past year. He was amazing in helping our male Standard Poodle with his leash reactivity and obedience. We recently started working together again as we are planning to work with Armand to introduce a puppy into the family. I can highly recommend his services, our dog loves him too, dog we hardly believe to be our own because he is so well behaved!
Alyssa Wolman2022
Armand was amazing. He introduced my dog to our new little rescue and it was perfect. He is confident in what he does. would recommend him for any issues your dogs may have
Michele Gibbs2022
I left a review last year, but I decided to leave one again. Last night we had visitors at home and they saw Jellie Bean before Armand worked with him. They couldn't believe the HUGE difference in him. He didn't bark at them or completely lose his mind...He was calm and even went to say hallo. He was a totally different dog. I can only thank Armand for this huge change!!!!
Ronel Nortje2022
Armand is extremely good at what he does. He helped me with so many behaviour problems and all of this was done in one session . I have four dogs and he helped me change their behaviour overnight. I am so grateful and my dogs are so much happier now!
Matthew Denton2022
Great experience! Armand's knowledge and calm personality made a very stressful situation absolutely manageable. He had a very challenging task introducing a bull mastiff to a pitbull and bull terrier and did so successfully, without the added stress of muzzles. He is also willing to set your mind at ease and help with expert advise regarding any tricky situation you need guidance with after the initial introduction. Do yourself and your dogs a favor and book Armand!
Laetitia van Loggerenberg2022
Armand is a miracle worker! We needed help with our staffie with his behaviour with other dogs & to integrate a new puppy . In a matter of a few session, its all worked out & I cant believe the change in our male staffie....Thanks Armand....an absolute pleasure to work with and you are very talented!
Amanda2022
The words I said to Armand when we arranged the training sessions were, "Do you really think you can help me?" - He could and did!! My Jellie Bean was reactive to anything that moved towards us during a walk and would be most unwelcoming to any and all visitors to our home. During our first visit in our home Armand said that he doesn't so much train the dog, as the owner, and I laughed, but today I get it. Armand has helped and given me the tools to help Jellie Bean and even his bark-a-lot little sister, Nimerya. He treated Jellie Bean with so much love and gentleness and respect. He treated Jellie like Jellie was his dog. Never once did he mistreat my dog in any way. His ability to read Jellie’s behaviour is amazing and even taught me to read the signs. Jellie Bean still has a way to go, but he is much better. Armand has given me the tools and has broken the ice with Jellie. I will recommend Armand to any and all Doggy Parents. If there is a problem, he CAN and WILL HELP!!! Also, he is the only one I trust to groom my dogs. He is simply amazing!
Ronel Nortje2021
Armand is goal driven and working with him to get my boy out of the state of mind he was in worked almost instantly. I do and will always recommend Armand to anyone who has dogs with behavioral issues .
Tammy2021
Such a pleasure having Armand work with our doggies. We saw so much improvement in a short period of time, by following all Armand's advice and recommendations. Thank you Armand for assisting us with our dogs and their behaviour and walking.
Lineke Long2021
Armand gee waarlik om vir en verstaan diere. Hy gaan uit sy pad om mense tegemoed te kom en sorteer 'n ding gou uit. Hy leer die mense om diere beter te verstaan nie soos ander plekke wat diere forseer om te wees soos hulle dink nie. Hy is ver meer as net 'n animal behaviourist. Kan nie genoeg dankie sê nie.
Jo-Anne Le Grange2021
Armand is the best behaviourist I know, and has helped me with multiple canines of all sizes and ages. He is well informed and highly experienced. I would highly recommend him.
Nicole Smit2021
I was very impressed with the knowledge and expertise that Armand has , he treats your pets as his own , I know that when ever I require help with our dogs or need something for our dogs - Armand is just a phone call away , he’s level of service and always willing to help makes me want to do business with him . Thank you Armand , I will always recommend Armand's Canine behaviour & Grooming services to anyone ! Keep up the good work .
JP2021
I adopted a rescue pit bull that had aggression issues. After consultation with another behaviourist, we got Armand in. Within 7 sessions he had totally transformed our dog. We can now confidently take her anywhere (on and off lead) and have not had a single incident since he helped her. He had an incredible gift and understanding of dogs and I highly recommend him for any behaviour issues your dog has.
Lynn Dreyer2021
Thanks to Armand and the incredible hard work he puts into his dogs at Majestic Beasts, he helped us find the perfect match for not only my fiancé and I but for our younger female dog as well. He has put in a lot of time and effort and transformed a non-adoptable dog into the best dog anyone could ask for. He is always just a phone call / message away and he always tries to go the extra mile to make sure the dogs and their owners are happy. As for grooming...None of my previous dogs used to go to dog grooming because of this or that (not liking baths or dryers etc) , but with Armand and his helpers they all feel comfortable and relaxed as he takes the time for each individual dog and gets to know them. He has a passion for dogs and you can see it in everything he does with them. I can tell you this much, Armand is not just another behaviourist and groomer, he is definitely one-of-a-kind!
Micaela Moore2021
I contacted Armand cause my Mila was struggling with a leash. Armand watched Mila's behavior,showed us what to do and when to do. He gave us homework to do with her....my Mila can walk on a leash now😭😭 Thank you Armand. HIGHLY recommended guys...HIGHLY!!!
Anchelin2023
After just 1 session with Armand with my doggie, so much changed in his behaviour. Small changes & big wins with immediate effect. I am so happy!
Julia2024
What an amazing experience and service. I have struggled with my Pomeranians' hair for very long and Armand Grooming after the first time got her in the best condition! Not going anywhere else ever again!
Chane Swart2024
My dog and I had such amazing encounter today. From the pick up which was challenging, Chows and leashes are not really friends, my rescue was not leash trained. I am absolutely elated and grateful for the amazing service. Your grooming is impeccable. Thank you so much. You have no idea what this meant for us and him.
Jenine2024
Absolutely amazing Grooming Team ! I have taken a variety of dogs to them (big and small, scared and anxious, confident and bold), they know how to work with them all and the dogs end up loving going to be groomed!! Best in the business!
Micaela Moore2023
10/10 would recommend. We had a traumatic experience at another grooming parlour that left our Cocker Spaniel with a horrific infection, costing us 8k+ of vet fees and 3 month recovery. I was extremely impressed with how friendly and professional they were, with a clean working environment. The atmosphere is very calm as it is only one dog at a time and our pup was a happy, relaxed girl when I picked her up an hour later. She would usually be hyperventilating after a grooming session and today she was as calm as can be. Super happy and impressed. Will use them again for sure. Happy pup, happy life, happy wallet.
Leanne2023
I have been taking my 2 pups to Armand regularly for about a year now. It is always a good experience. The pups are not stressed because they are not left in cages for hours. You book your appointment drop pups and within in hour you are collecting again. I do and will continue to recommend Armand Grooming to all dog lovers.
Debra de Klerk2023
Fantastiese mense met groot liefde en passie vir wat hulle doen. My woefkind is ‘n besige meisie en hulle het die geduld en liefde om haar elke keer pragtig te groom. Sal hulle enige tyd aanbeveel.
Agatha du Preez2023
We are so grateful to have found Armand-Canine Bahaviour and Grooming Services. My dog loves going there, she's never ever been scared to be left at the groomer and she never waits long to be groomed. Being a Shih Tzu, her hair always needs extra attention and Armand and his team never disappoints.
Luamie Lawson2023
Friendly and timely service. Absolutely would recommend to all dog owners.
Shannon Stemmert2023
Took my extremely fluffy collie to Armand for a shave and overall grooming session. I was in and out and my doggo looks absolutely stunning! I also took my naughty little Jack Russell with for a nail trim. This guy is beyond terrified of the klippers and Armand did it so fast that he didn't know what hit him! This is my go to grooming parlour!
Matt Denton2023
Die beste! My 2 is so mooi geskeer en Armand is baie behulpsaam
Adele2023
After a few attempts at having our girl groomed, we were recommended by our neighbours to try and take our very nervous small horse(Betty, XL breed K9, Something black and hairy) to Armand. THOROUGHLY impressed! Appart from the fact that it's less than 1km from our home, Betty took the tiny drive like a champ. Warmed up to Armand instantly(very out of character as she is incredibly nervous around any and all men) and she was done in less than 90 minutes! Even dried and nails clipped! I don't know how he and Carlyn got this girl to not break down the whole place because of a dryer, but we'll definitely be making this a monthly trip up the road Thanks a million! Bêbê looks STUNNING and she is sooooo happy! Ready to jump in the pool with no extra wet wool weight!
Ansel le Roux2023
Took my pitbull cross for a grooming session today... he is a bit of a neurotic boy. He was handled with love and care even though he wanted to kill the hair dryer. Thank you for taking excellent care of my couch protector.
S Nel2023
Best service ever. Axie our doggie... is shy and stubborn and different with a little crazyness but she is always happy to visit the parlor Exception service but most importantly true love for animals and you can see it.....makes a huge difference
Mirna Hiscock2023
They are great.. took our small dog for her nail cut it was quick and done before i knew it. Great people very friendly to. Would deffently refer people to them. 10/10
Shaney Swaak2022
Ek sal geen ander persoon gebruik om my honde te groom as armand nie... Hulle LOVE dit om na hom toe te gaan. Beste van alles is jy maak n afspraak so hulle sit nie heeldag in n hokkie met ander honde wat blaf en tjank om hulle nie. .. Hy het soveel geduld, liefde en passie vir wat hy doen... Sonder twyfel die BESTE!!!!!
Michelle Visser2022
I have been taking Yogi and Chaya to Armand the last few months for grooming. What I value the most is that he is always on time and don't mind you being there while he grooms. He assesses the dogs demeaner and handles them accordingly. Also dogs also don't stay in a cage the whole day like some places. When your dog is done he/she must be fetched which is less stressful for them. I trust him a 100% with my dog(s) and will recommend him.
Carina Smit2022
Awesome with handling of Boerboel dogs at bath time. My big boy was like putty in Armands hands and came out looking super handsome
Mariette2021
Cass, my fur baby, absolutely loves her grooming sessions at Armand’s. They’re professional, and always willing to accommodate her.
Cassie's Mom2024
My Furbabies are 1st in my life, therefore I am very picky when it comes to a groomer. Then I started using Armand. WOW!! !!! Amazing is not the word. My dogs love him, they are not traumatized when he brings them back, they are neat, happy and so full of joy. Armand is fantastic with animals. I call him the next dog whisperer. I will never take my dogs anywhere else. His service and love for animals are exceptional. I recommend him to all my friends. Great groomer and trainer. He always helps us with tips also for our one cheeky fur baby. And the best of all is, she bites but she never bites Armand. He is so good with her. A lot of respect for this man.
Hermien Beets2024
Armand understood our needs very well. He connected with our puppy immediately. Very happy with the results thus far.
Rico2023
My furbabies(very reactive) gets groomed by Armand and team ,the puppies are always happy and beautifully groomed when they leave, which is much appreciated ❤️ one of my puppies also went for training with Armand and Madhu, they are very patient and knowledgeable with the dog training and they make classes fun, I would highly recommend them
Melissa Coleman2023
We brought our rescue boerboel for a 1 hour consult with Armand. He was very good and calm with her. She was as good as gold. Will need to get get him to come out to her home setting as this is where we have most of our issues with pulling etc.
Joanne2023
Armand you and your team are just wow you guys have helped me to build up my dogs confidence. You helped me to build a stronger bond between me and both my dogs and for that I thank you. Training builds confidence, provides mental stimulation and strengthens the human-animal bond. Dogs are always learning.(And so am I Hehe It also stimulates me.) Never stop doing what you guys do.
Jackie2023
Armand really is an asset to the dog training community, he is highly skilled and within just a short time of assessing our dog he already made breakthroughs. I would really recommend him as a dog trainer and am extremely happy with what he taught us and how he conducts his training. Very professional and very well versed in dog behavior.
Cindy-Lee de Vos2022
