More about how it works

Our methods

Non-physical methods that don't hurt your dog

Training is based on how your dog thinks and understands. Lots of positive reinforcement is used, and we also let your dog know what is wrong.

There's no quick fix: keep practising what we show you and the change will last.

We have owned and trained dogs for over 40 years.

What we never use

  • Hitting or smacking
  • Prong or choke collars
  • Electric shock or spray collars

What our clients say

★★★★★

Amazing, highly recommended

Steve helped us enormously with our Staffy, Buster. What stood out most was his honest and straightforward approach. He took the time to explain why certain behaviours were happening and how to address them effectively. As we rehomed Buster at 18 months this had a massively positive impact for us all.

Steve’s advice was practical, easy to follow and tailored to Buster’s needs. We appreciated that he was honest about what would require time and consistency, rather than offering quick fixes.

Thanks to Steve’s guidance we’ve made great progress and feel much more confident going forwards on our journey with Buster.

We cannot recommend Steve highly enough.

Absolutely brilliant!

We got in touch with Steve recently with a few issues we were having with our French bulldog. Jumping up at everyone, reactivity with other dogs on walks and general obedience.

Within the first 20 minutes he had shown us how to stop the jumping up. He keeps everything simple and easy to understand.

We then took our dog, Pablo, out for a walk and Steve very quickly saw the problem. He taught me and my partner how we should be approaching things and that the training and issues we were having start with how we react to situations.

We are extremely happy with the changes made with Pablo and cannot recommend Steve enough.

Very knowledgeable with what he does and really lovely fella too.

Aggression

My 18 month old black lab started showing aggression towards other dogs while off his lead, he would jump at them while growling and snarling which was so strange as he is such a lovely cuddly boy

Steve came out and walked with us for 2 hours so he could see the problem, as soon as he saw it he knew exactly what it was. It wasn’t only Barney that had an issue but more so me with my reactions and then the way I acted. Steve showed me how to control Barney in these situations and also told me how I needed to be as the problem has got worse due to how I was dealing with it.

He gave me some simple commands for Barney and advised me on how I should act and deal with the situations

The difference after just one visit from Steve was amazing!! Barney is like a different dog and I am confident on a walk meaning I have very few of any incidents now

I would 100% recommend Steve to anyone, he was amazing, helpful and just a natural with Barney
