Rob help me with my 1 an a half year old Belgian Malinois, Roy, who had aggression towards dogs, people exc. Rob knew instantly how to help my dog when we met and by the end of my dogs training with Rob after a week he was complete different, reactive had decreased significantly and I am able to take him off lease on our walk without the fear or not being able to control him. Even throughout Roy’s stay I was always kept updated and send video to show how he is getting along, and I still receive ongoing support. He clearly knows a lot about dogs and their individual needs. He gave me some fantastic guidance and showed me step by step what I needed to do to control my dogs behaviour. Rob is very easy to talk to and I will be using all of his advice and skills and put them all into practice with Roy !!! Thank you More...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND✅ After 1 phone call with Rob I have managed to change our malis behaviour instantly. Rob knew what our mali needed and helped us straight away. Still getting support via WhatsApp SUPER helpful. Especially with a new born baby Rob came to the rescue. Our Mali was very aggressive in the garden towards the fences where other dogs are on the other side. Since he has not been interested with Robs advice on training plan. So grateful. Thankyou.

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping animals in general but I'm passionate about helping dogs live their best life with their owners, some dogs are well trained, some not, it doesn't matter to me, I can help resolve issues regardless. I can communicate what I want effectively with most dogs, they seem to enjoy being with me and respond to my requests very well. I love it when owners tell me their dog has changed for the better and is now living a more harmonious lifestyle.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Growing up, I always had a deep connection with animals, but it was my childhood dog who truly set me on this path. Jesse was a rescue, a scruffy, anxious mutt with a heart of gold but a list of behaviour issues. she’d bark at anything that moved, cower during storms, and chew through furniture like it was her job. My family loved her dearly, but we were at a loss. I set out to learn more and grew to really understand dogs and how to help them. I resolved her issues and have helped hundreds over the years, so now I run a small business dedicated to helping them.
Why should our clients choose you?
If your dog’s struggling with something, whether it’s a specific behaviour or just adjusting to the world around them, I’ve got a natural talent for sorting things out in a way that works and doesn’t take forever. I’m all about building a bond with your dog through play, fun, and kindness, earning their trust so we can tackle whatever’s going on together. I keep things calm and confident, no matter the situation, and I’m here to guide you both through it, step by step, with methods that get results.
Tired of slow progress with your dog’s behaviour? I’m here to change that with an approach that’s different, effective, and fast. Unlike positive trainers leaving your dog stuck on treats or balanced trainers using corrections and unnecessary punishment, I bring what they all miss out: calm, interactive play and a confident presence. It’s the key to helping dogs with reactivity, pulling on the lead, excessive barking, jumping up, anxiety, poor recall, or any other challenge you’re facing. I’m ready to support you and your dog, whatever the issue.
It begins with an assessment, over the phone or at your home in their environment, to understand your dog’s issues fully. I then provide a comprehensive behaviour report and a tailored training plan that's clear with step-by-step instructions. With one-to-one support, I keep you on track, tweaking as we go if required, so it’s simple and stress-free for both of you.
Take reactivity for example: an off-lead dog approaches, I don’t shout at the owner 'get your dog on a lead', instead, I make it a win for your dog, turning it into a positive interaction, perhaps stroking the other dog while guiding yours to relax and enjoy the interaction. We start small, perhaps by the front door, calmly watching the world go by. Then it’s a bus stop or patch of grass, playing games as life continues on around us. Soon, busy parks are no problem, and triggers like dogs, people, noise, or crowds lose their power. They calm down fast, hours, days, or weeks, not years. Take Roy, a reactive Belgian Malinois who lunged at every dog and redirected to the owner biting her, even though he worked with other trainers for years, within two weeks of working with me, he was hapily playing with other dogs. (See 'What clients say' for videos & more about this amazing transformation with Roy).
Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of dogs overcome reactivity, lead-pulling, barking, jumping, anxiety, and recall issues. Every one is now happy, healthy, and thriving, running in parks, greeting others, or relaxing at home. Their owners are overjoyed, saying it’s saved them months of frustration and brought real results.
