Months of Frustration Ended in One Hour – Steve is a True Game-Changer!

We were at our wits' end with our 2 year old Labrador Cyril. We had been diligently working with our dog for months, strictly following a force-free training approach. Despite our consistency and endless patience, we were seeing no progress toward our goals. It was incredibly frustrating, and honestly, we were starting to feel hopeless, wondering if we'd ever get the behavior we were looking for. We decided to book a session with Steve, and it was the best decision we could have possibly made. I am not exaggerating when I say that within one hour, Steve had us on a completely new path. He didn't just focus on the dog; he trained us. He immediately identified where we were struggling and provided clear, practical, and effective techniques that made sense to both us and our dog. The change was almost immediate. We saw more tangible progress in that single session than we had in all the previous months combined. We went from feeling defeated to feeling empowered and optimistic. We finally have a clear path forward and are well on our way to achieving our goals. If you're feeling stuck, I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. He gets results.

I wish that we had found Steve when she was 8 weeks old!!

We booked some sessions with Steve when our Labrador was 18 months old - I wish that we had found Steve when she was 8 weeks old!! We had done other training with her right from day 1 but just felt we weren’t on the right track, the methods we were using weren’t working and everyone was getting frustrated. Steve has been fantastic and was just what we needed; he has a no-nonsense honest approach which really works, the difference even after just 1 session was noticeable. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and his passion for training dogs (and their owners!) is clear to see.

Absolutely amazing!

We have been to see Steve on several occasions for 1-1 sessions over the past 5 months with our Cocker Spaniel Bailey. We were needing some help with walking on a lead but within minutes Steve had Bailey walking with him like a dream he also advised us on the type of lead which has made such a difference. Also within the first session he had him coming to us on recall with a whistle. Absolutely Amazing!! Steve has also helped us with calming Bailey down at home as he didn’t no how to switch off and sit with us in the evenings. Steve came to our house to see how he behaves and taught us a few things about our behaviour as well as Baileys and now he cuddle’s up to us on the sofa at night and most importantly he listens to us more. He is still a work in progress but never thought he would ever do this. Steve is an awesome dog trainer who listens to your needs and works with you to find solutions to your dog’s behaviour. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

The best money you could ever spend!!! - Amazing Trainer

We have just completed our 3rd 1:1 training session with Steve, who has been incredible. I cannot believe the difference we have seen in our working cocker spaniel, even from the first session we saw a massive difference. We dealt with so many things in such a short time…Lead issues, control, listening, bonding with our dog…the list goes on and it now feels we have the dog we always dreamt of at 11 months old. Steve is so understanding, patient and passionate and it makes training really enjoyable but you also don’t feel stupid and it’s a very comfortable setting. I always have a list of questions and none of them are ever any trouble. I am so grateful we found him and would recommend him to anyone and everyone!! Ps: you only have to see his own dogs in action to see how good he is! They are amazing! Thank you Steve!

it’s been a fantastic experience.

I’ve just completed the Grouse course and it’s been a fantastic experience. Steve provides structured guidance on building the foundations of key gundog skills, obedience and steadiness. It gave me a much better understanding of how to train my dog with confidence and consistency with a lot of fun along the way and with a great group of people. The course helped me build a stronger bond with my dog through positive, effective training. Highly recommend for anyone starting out in their gundog training journey.

Highly recommended

I've been to a few trainers in the last couple of years with my Lab, Harry, and realise just how much time and money I had wasted. I have had a couple of 121s with Steve so far, and Harry has come on so much in those sesssions. He is now walking on and off lead at heel, recalls much faster than before, and has begun to enjoy his retrieving. Dont waste your time or money going anywhere else get in touch with Steve if you want to actually get somewhere with your dog.

Well where do I begin?? Steve is fabulous!!

from starting with my 2 year old cocker (who would not listen at all), I made the decision to take him to Steve and WOW! All I can say is "I wish I done this sooner"!! Steve has so much knowledge and skills and a really amazing technique of teaching you how to get the very best out of your relationship with your fury companion🐾 Not only has Steve helped Rolo, he has given me so much more confidence. Rolo is a different dog and now much more engaged with me and a whole lot calmer and his recall is spot on! Friends and Family have noticed such a positive difference in Rolo🥰 I can't recommend Steve enough to anyone. So thanks a million!! Here's to much more enjoyable walks and learning each day 🥰

Straight Talking, no BS

Have been taking my Lab to Steve for close to 2 years, from a pup. Steve is straight talking, clear with instruction, and easy to talk to if I have any problems with Bert or my training. Thoroughly recommended
