Helping achieve a calm family pet
Always practical, Always One to One. Always real training with real dogs.
When you work with us, we’ll work with you practically, in the real world. Your place or ours! We’ll properly and practically assess your dog and see their behaviours in action. We’ll show you how to do things differently, and we’ll teach you how to do the same. No asking you to do things that we cannot do ourselves. You can make as many mistakes as you’d like, and we don’t need you to be an expert before you start - that’s our job. If you need advice in between sessions - you can book in for a free call at a time that suits you or send us updates and videos on WhatsApp - so we can have a chat, and keep an eye on your progress.
One to One Training
from £60
additional fees on home visits.
We want to help you to raise a great family dog - whether you’re getting a new puppy, taking on a rescue of any age, polishing up on new skills with an adult dog, or need help working through a few bad habits.
We offer training at our family farm in Northallerton, and home visiting across the North Yorkshire area - so whatever you need help with, we can accommodate your needs.
Book a call - tell us what you need help with, and we’ll tell you how many hours to book. We love simple and easy to understand - just like our training!
“Initial phone consultation with Ste followed by a two hour behaviour session. Ste is non-judgemental, very calm, attentive and observant. We learned a lot about our own behaviour and actions and how that has been impacting our dog's behaviour. It's still early days but we are starting to see small changes in helping our gorgeous, energetic GSP to self calm. Huge improvements with him walking next to us rather than pulling ahead. We'll be updating Ste in a few weeks so he can assess how we're all doing and if/what next steps are needed. Highly recommend.”

Specialist Referrals
in partnership with The Dog’s Way
For the most severe issues, where dogs need more specialist support than can be provided in a home visit, we work in direct partnership with The Dog’s Way. The secure paddocks provide a safe environment for you to walk alongside us and our team of ambassador dogs, to address issues like reactivity and aggression towards other dogs and people.
“I am so, so grateful…James and Ste have turned our lives around with Archie (who we were convinced we would have to re-home - a crazy collie). What impresses me is the love they have of dogs - and deep understanding of the unique differences in breeds, temperament and owners! Still some work to do but after just 2 sessions all I can say is THANK YOU.”

Pack for Life. It’s dog walking - but really good.
Structured pack walking and continuous training on one simple subscription.
As the saying goes, you don’t know how to train a dog if you don’t know how to walk a dog.
We believe that it’s time for a higher quality of professional dog walking - attentive, structured, social walks that raise great family dogs that anyone can be proud of. Our pack for life system is all about honouring the most important activity we can do with our pets - for those who want to give their dogs more.
”Can’t recommend enough 100% commitment to help and always there when you need him, Ste has worked miracles with my 3 dogs and also me, training is ongoing but they are getting much better by the week Ste has succeeded where many others have failed I can’t thank him enough 😀”
