Struggling With Your Dog's Reactivity or Aggression?
Specialist Canine Behaviour Centre Based in Herefordshire, Supporting Dogs Across the UK
When your dog's behaviour is taking over your life, we're here to help you take it back
Is this you?
-
Walking at 5am to avoid dogs and people?
-
Dread going on walks?
-
Stopped taking your dog to places?
-
Embarrassed when your dog reacts?

Holidays seem impossible?

Feeling overwhelmed?
If you recognise yourself here, you're in the right place.
Living with a reactive or aggressive dog can feel incredibly isolating, but you don't have to work it out on your own.
Things can change.
We can't promise a quick fix and we won't pretend that every dog or situation is the same. But with the right understanding, training and support, you can learn to change your dog's behaviour, build confidence and start enjoying life together again.

What our clients say

"I've had unhelpful experiences with other trainers which had left me convinced my dog was beyond help, and that I was a "bad" handler, but Rick is methodically rebuilding both my dog's confidence and my own.
My anxious male dog has notably calmed down after only four lessons, and is now able to re-direct to me when triggers like other dogs, joggers or bicycles are nearby."

You don't have to do this alone
