Creating Lasting Change Through Understanding and Trust.
Using modern, positive, evidence led methods, every consultation is tailored to your dog's individual temperament, character and needs.
Designed Around Your Dog and Your Lifestyle
Lasting Behavioural Change Begins With Understanding
Every dog behaves for a reason. Understanding why is the foundation of calm, confident, and lasting behavioural change.
Serving dog owners across Stroud and Gloucestershire, I provide personalised dog training, behavioural consultations to help you better understand your dog, overcome behavioural challenges and build a stronger relationship through modern, positive, canine psychology, reward based, evidence led methods.
Every consultation is individually tailored to your dog's temperament, experiences and environment, providing practical guidance that delivers reliable, lasting results.
Is Your Dog's Behaviour Becoming Difficult To Manage?
If everyday life with your dog has become frustrating or stressful, you're not alone.
Many of the owners I work with simply want to enjoy life with their dog again.
IS YOUR DOG
PULLING CONSTANTLY?
Are walks becoming stressful because your dog drags you everywhere or becomes fixated on other dogs?
BARKING?
Is your dog barking at visitors, noises, people outside, or seemingly everything?
ANXIOUS OR NERVOUS?
Does your dog struggle with new people, environments, other dogs or being left alone?
UNABLE TO SETTLE?
Does your dog constantly demand attention, pace, jump, bark or become over-excited?
REACTIVE ON WALKS?
Does your dog bark, lunge, stare, growl or become impossible to control when another dog approaches?
Understanding what is driving the behaviour is the first step toward changing it.
UNDERSTANDING CANINE BEHAVIOUR
BEHAVIOUR IS COMMUNICATION
Dogs don't behave the way they do without reason.
Your dog's behaviour is influenced by a combination of factors, including:
- Individual temperament
- Past experiences
- Environment
- Emotions
- Learning history
Rather than simply addressing the symptoms, I help you understand what's influencing your dog's behaviour through positive canine psychology, providing a clear, practical pathway forward.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR DOG | CREATING LASTING CHANGE
Every dog is an individual. By understanding what influences their behaviour, we can build a practical way forward based on your dog's needs and your lifestyle.
Five Key Principles Guide My Approach
COMMUNICATION
- Helping your dog understand what is expected through calm, consistent communication.
CONNECTION
- Build a relationship based on trust.
CONFIDENCE
- Helping your dog become calm, emotionally secure, and confident in everyday situations.
CONSISTENCY
- Simple, practical routines that fit naturally into everyday life, making lasting behavioural change easier to achieve.
COOPERATION
- Creating a willing partnership where your dog chooses to work with you through understanding, trust, and mutual respect.
A PERSONAL APPROACH TO DOG TRAINING
MEET STEPHEN & BARNEY
Sirius Dog Stars was founded on one simple belief that lasting behavioural change begins with understanding.
My love of dogs started with a Jack Russell Terrier, sparking a fascination with canine psychology and how dogs learn.
Life with an English Springer Spaniel, Barney, has further shaped this approach, highlighting the importance of patience, clear communication and recognising every dog as an individual.
As a qualified professional dog trainer and canine behavioural specialist through the Dog Trainer Academy, I use modern behavioural science to provide personalised, positive consultations tailored to your individual dog's needs.
The goal is simple: to help you understand your dog, overcome behavioural challenges and build a calmer, more confident relationship based on trust.
PERSONALISED PROFESSIONAL CANINE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
COMPLETE CONSULTATION PACKAGE
BECAUSE NO TWO DOGS ARE THE SAME
Every dog has their own personality, history and experiences. That's why your consultation is tailored to your dog's individual needs, the challenges you're facing and the life you share together.
Initial Home Consultation | 90 Minutes
We begin by exploring your dog's behaviour, background and the challenges you're experiencing.
Meeting in your home allows me to observe your dog in their familiar environment and begin to understand the factors that may be influencing their behaviour, before we proceed outdoors.
Personalised Guidance
You'll receive practical, tailored advice to help you understand your dog's behaviour and the confidence to apply positive strategies in your everyday life.
Follow-Up Consultation | 1 Hour, 2–3 Weeks Later
We'll review your dog's progress and fine tune the training so you feel more confident.
