Charlie was brilliant. He was friendly and very quickly got to the bottom of what has been a problem for some time. We have a plan now and look forward to working with him.

We have had several really brilliant sessions with Charles helping us with our young Labrador girl Delphi. His calm, no nonsense manner, with clear explanations mean it’s easy to put things into practice. Lead walking is now a pleasure for all of us and with Charles input Delphi has blossomed into the loveliest family dog, who we can take everywhere without worry. We would highly recommend Charles for excellent support and guidance. More...

He gave us good pointers and told us that we were doing everything we should be. He told us what to do next and gave us good ideas on how to achieve this.

Just had a great session for my dog Rigby. Charlie gave sound advice and practical steps to implement. He took time to understand the background around certain behaviours and I’m confident we will start to see results.

I would like to recommend Clive. He was ever so helpful with our pup Honey and at a very reasonable price. Honey unfortunately was mistreated before we got her and now she is starting to overcome her worries and we have nearly cracked her toilet training. Thank you Clive for all your help ????????????

We were very pleased with the help we received from Charlie over recent weeks. Very easy to get on with and had positive results within a few weeks. Does not pressurise you into having more sessions than you need. He was very easy to arrange meetings with, a pleasant experience. More...

My Maltese Maya was very anxious and not house trained, after three sessions with Charlie he helped me put her back on track and she goes out for the loo every time and her anxiety is greatly reduced, Charlie said she will fully grow out of it soon. Thanks so much really appreciate it. More...

I cannot reccommend Charlie enough!!
I have a border collie called Bruno, he used to chase after bikes and make my postman’s life a living misery, now there are no problems at all and I feel safe having him around the grandkids.
Thank you Charlie.

I really rate Charlie and cannot recommend him highly enough, he has made such a difference to my dog who used to bark at certain dogs in quite an hysterical withoutway. I can now take him walking without being nervous when we see other dogs - who he now plays with. It is only occasionally that he barks at them and always when he is on the lead. More...

Charlie helped me enormously with my rescue dog who was terrified of other dogs and extremely stressed in public places. He has now gained in confidence, a much happier dog with a very grateful owner. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Charlie enjoys meeting people and dogs and derives a great deal of pleasure in helping owners understand the needs of their pet.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My life evolves around dogs. All dogs want is a happy home life and a need to express themselves. Many owners, unknowingly, are doing what they believe is the correct training but are going about it the wrong way. I have the skills to impart to the owners my knowledge and experience. All I want is to see a happy dog with a happy owner.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a qualified dog trainer and have achieved the Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour Management. This means I can diagnose and help with behavioural problems a dog or puppy may exhibit. It is essential that before any behaviour modification is initiated that all dogs must understand basic commands, and I will help you with this. I never use any aversive training techniques like choke or electric collars. Rewarding good behaviour is the key to success.
Should you choose me I will explain everything that is causing your dog to behave the way he/she does and we will sort out the problem together.
Puppy Training
All puppies must be socialized but this usually is delayed until the vaccinations come into effect and before they can meet other puppies. I offer pre-puppy vaccinations courses so their training starts from the day they are picked up. So let me visit you and show you how to arrange their training days, what to expect, what can go wrong and how to stop certain behaviours before they begin.
Dog Training
Training is very simple but problems occur when the instructions are not clear and the dog just simply does not understand what he is supposed to do. Some tips: Operant conditioning with reinforcements are the key to success. All vocal commands should be adopted with clear physical signals. All dogs should be given a release word after training I am great advocate of Clicker Training and can teach you how to use this method, REPETITION, CONSISTENCY and REWARDS are vital.
Dog Behaviour
Is your dog fearful or anxious? Does he/she show aggression to people or dogs, suffer from separation anxiety, seek attention by barking and jumping up, has no recall or pulls on the lead?
There is ALWAYS a reason for these behaviours so please contact me so we can discuss your problems. Because your dog will react differently in unfamiliar surroundings I offer 1 to 1 sessions in your home that is followed up with a report.
