Activdogs is now Steven Symonds — Dog Behaviour & Training. A name that better reflects the work I do.

CONTACT

Get in touch

Not sure where to start?

Tell me briefly what is happening and what you would like help with. If there is a clearer route than the one you had in mind, I can point you towards it.

BEFORE YOU MESSAGE

A short summary is enough at this stage

You do not need to write a full case history in the first message. Tell me what the main problem is, roughly how long it has been happening and what you would like help with. I normally reply within 3–5 working days.

THE MAIN ROUTES

If you already know what you need

These pages explain the starting point and what happens next.

BEHAVIOUR

Something is worrying you

Fear, aggression, guarding, repeated reactivity, separation problems or behaviour that feels unpredictable.

TRAINING

You want to build skills

Everyday training, recall, engagement, lead work or specialist training where the dog is able to learn.

CONTACT FORM

Tell me what you need help with

Please do not send detailed medical records or other sensitive documents through this form. If I need additional information, I will let you know what is useful.

EXISTING CLIENT?

You can use the same form for ongoing support

If we have already worked together, use the form to ask about Practice & Regular Coaching or Calm Practice. You do not need to complete a new behaviour enquiry just to arrange continuing work.

PUPPY SUPPORT

Bringing a puppy home?

All About Puppies can start before collection if you want help preparing the house, routines and first few days.
