Helping you and your dog have the very best life, together.
Hello, I’m Steven, a qualified and experienced Clinical Behaviourist and Trainer, offering expert support to dogs and their families across Dorset and Hampshire. My goal is to help you and your dog build a strong, harmonious relationship, enabling you both to live your best life together.I am passionate about helping you and your dog to achieve your goals. Whether you're trying to address specific behaviour challenges or train new skills, my training and behaviour solutions are designed to meet your needs.
Whether you’re looking to teach the basics—such as sit, stay, and leave—or more advanced skills like reliable recall and walking on a loose lead, One-to-One Training is tailored to meet your needs.
This service is suitable for dogs of all breeds, from puppies to seniors, and all training methods are straightforward and effective. Each session is bespoke, designed specifically for you, your dog, and your goals. The approach is always kind, gentle, and rewarding.
If you’re looking to teach your dog new skills, One-to-One Training is the perfect solution.
Many dogs go through stages in their lives where they exhibit challenging behaviours. Aggressive, fearful, or anxious behaviours can be particularly difficult to manage and can strain the relationship between you and your dog.
Behaviour Therapy is a comprehensive approach to addressing complex behavioural issues. Unlike basic training, which focuses on preventing specific actions, Behaviour Therapy aims to gently change how your dog feels, ultimately transforming their behaviours.
If your dog’s behaviour is proving challenging—for them, for you, or for other animals—Behaviour Therapy can offer the support and solutions you need.
