There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dog training.
I believe training should be clear, fair and tailored to the dog in front of me. My goal is to help owners better understand their dogs, build effective communication and create reliable behaviours that work in everyday life.

Client Testimonials
"I would highly recommend Craig. he has helped with my Frenchie Otis who is a very strong boy who constantly pulls on the lead making walks unenjoyable for me. Since Craig's help Otis walks have improved so much and we can now walk with a loose lead"

Client Testimonials
"I won a giveaway for a free session with Craig, and it was perfect timing as I’d been looking for some help with Luna’s recall. She made so much progress in just the first hour & we even managed to do some work on her ‘heel’ too which she picked up so quickly! What a difference there was in her from the start & end of the session I can’t wait to continue her training & see how much more she’s capable of. Thanks again so much Craig!"

Client Testimonials
"Craig has helped my rescue French bulldog in many ways. He has helped my dog with:
1 - Being less nervous aggressive to visitors in and out of the house
2 - Socialising with other dogs, stopping his nervous aggressive behaviour to other dogs
3 - Stopping him guarding his toys
4 - Exposing him to new environments, such as pubs
Craig has helped loads with my dog but also myself, improving my confidence on how to effectively use praise to achieve progress. Thank you so much for your help!!!"
