Hi, my name is Stephen, here I am with my 4 year old English Springer Spaniel, Barney.
My journey in dog training began through my love of dogs, the joy they bring into our lives and understanding how each dog has it's own unique way of learning. Barney is such a great teacher to me too, helping me understand and fine tune true canine communication.
As a fully qualified dog trainer and canine behaviourist covering Stroud and all of Gloucestershire, I help you understand your dog, teaching you about your dogs unique way of learning, to prevent overwhelm and shut down in your dog, in simple to understand steps to implement.
Your dog will learn what is needed of them using canine psychology and through clear gentle communication, kind loving leadership and without the need for endless training sessions.

Whether you have a new puppy or dog that has just started life in their pawever home and you want to begin dog training, a new rescue, or a dog that has developed behavioural challenges, I'm here to help you as a qualified canine behaviourist specialising in dog training covering Stroud and all of Gloucestershire.

Modern positive dog training focuses on building a strong, connection driven relationship between you and your dog. This science backed approach helps your dog truly understand what’s expected of them, allowing them to thrive emotionally, physically and mentally.
The training methods used clearly communicate to your dog, using canine psychology, that undesirable behaviour is no longer necessary.
Traditional old fashioned training tends to focus only on SYMPTOMS, however this can be a slow approach and can often result over time, that the same or even different issues return, leading to weeks or months more training.
With the method of training I am qualified in, which works holistically, it builds a strong bond between you and your dog, helping them feel safe, understood and motivated to learn.
I teach you how to understand why your dogs unwanted behaviour is causing you problems, how dogs individually learn and the psychology of these UNDERLYING ISSUES.
This method of dog training results in your dog being calmer and looking to you for loving guidance and direction.
In the training we work together in your home to begin with. I teach you how you can come alongside your dog quickly and easily using the 5 Key Pillars of Success.
Using these methods ACHIEVES POWERFUL RESULTS that far surpass what can be achieved using weeks or months of outdated traditional training methods. Modern positive dog psychology based training works with your dogs own unique character.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO FULLY GAIN YOUR DOGS COOPERATION THROUGH CLEAR COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHIP IN A WAY THAT YOUR DOG WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEEDED OF THEM.
You will receive printed handouts for you during the training, with clear and concise instructions to follow, tailored to your dogs needs. I will send you pre-consult and post consult emails, with detailed observations and solutions that we have put in place, working with your dogs own unique character and psychology.
"I can’t recommend Stephen highly enough, he has made walking my dog a pleasure and not a nightmare, he makes you understand what’s going on in your dog’s mind and how to deal with it."
Dog Breed: Golden Labrador

He explained everything very clearly and answered all of our questions. We really can't recommend him enough to anyone who needs help with their dogs."
