Reviews from dog owners

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.

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.

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

We have an 18 month border collie, Charlie. For over a month, he has been terrified going on a walk. He sits down and refuses to go any further. Stephen explained this was probably down to something he found traumatic on our estate. After an hour and a half, Stephen showed us what to do if he tries to stop walking and other things to do with him on a walk if he gets scared or nervous. I would recommend Stephen to anyone who has a dog who has nervous tendancies. Thank you once again!

Having trouble with my 20 months Japanese Akita not getting along with the 6yrs old one. Stephen helped me to take charge of her on the walk and how to deal with her anxiety in a calm way. He gave me the confidence to be in control so that both of us can enjoy a relaxing walk in the future. So grateful for you help and advice. Thank you!

I contacted Steve via Facebook to help me with our extremely nervous boy, Ares as he is literally scared of everything bless him.

Steve spent time with Ares gaining his trust before working with him, teaching him the leave command, providing me with really helpful tips on how to support Ares in stressful situations and also helping me to understand his behaviour.

I cannot thank Steve enough for everything, he now has a new best friend in Ares, we are both very grateful for the help and support given.

I would highly recommend Steve to anyone requiring support with their dogs.

We initially saw the advert for North Wales Dog Training on Facebook. A friend tagged me in a post, as she knew that we definitely needed some training for our 2 year old Husky and 7 month old St. Bernard.

Steve responded promptly and was very accommodating, explaining his process whilst also listening to our needs.

As soon as he arrived at our home, the training began. Steve was polite, but also direct in his approach and his methods were very effective from the get go.

We spent some time talking about general behavioural traits of the breeds, and the best practices for when at home with our dogs. We then went for a walk with the problem ‘puller’ (Husky) and Steve explained to me how best to command my dog and ward off unwanted behaviours.

I found the whole experience to be very effective and informative, and I have a lot of homework to do, but I am now confident that we have a good recipe for success with both of our dogs. I think that we could probably cope without seeing Steve again in the near future, but I will definitely be booking another session early next year, as I want to build on this knowledge and make the most of having a professional to guide and check on our progress.

Thanks very much for your help today and I’ll look forward to seeing what the next few weeks will bring.

All the best.

I contacted steve about my 6 month old dog howling with seperation anxiety , he came in observed and gave me training to give him and slowly its working , he as good knowledge of all types of behaviour problems and like steve says nothing can not be fix , thank again

Steve has worked with us the past month with our German Short Haired Pointer Ralph.

We took Ralph on at 5 months and we needed some help on a number of areas.

Steve has been amazing, we now have a 6 month old puppy who we thoroughly enjoy. A well worth investment.

Highly recommend.
