Our Goal
To provide you with the skills to understand and communicate with your dog.
Dogs do speak, you just have to know how to listen. We have developed our training methods around this philosophy using a positive reward based training leading to fun games for both you and your dog. More fun means more learning which will help you continually develop the lifelong bond between you and your dog.
Fun for your dog
Play is structured learning.
More play leads to less behavioural issues.
Fun for you
The more fun it is for you, the more likely you are to do it!
Fun for life!
Your dog will do the best it can with the information you are providing!
Vet Recommendation
As a vet I trusted Martin's expertise and qualifications to asses and help with various challenging canine patient behavioural problems.
As a dog owner I fully trusted Martin to care for my two hyperactive dogs, knowing that they would be well looked after and well exercised. Both my dogs went mad with joy whenever Martin came to pick them up when they stayed with him.

Testimonials
I have to say Martin was a breath of fresh air, positive and full of advice that not only made sense but allowed us to make great progress with Henry. Suddenly we were able to appreciate our dog and Henry began to realise he had a family that really did love and want him. Without Martin’s, input, support, patience and guidance I don't know where we'd be. I couldn’t recommend Martin enough as a dog trainer and behaviourist, he has the extra “something” that you can never put your finger on, that allows him to work with the worst behaved dogs, turn them into something extra special and not make you feel like an idiot.

With Martin’s support and advice we've made huge strides forward and Monty has learned that he has nothing to fear from people or dogs. He used to bark constantly at every new person who came to the house and now he likes having visitors! The depth and breadth of Martin’s knowledge means if one strategy doesn’t work, there's always another. His positive, enthusiastic approach build both Monty's and our own confidence. After 25 years of living with this challenging (but very rewarding) breed, Martin has been able to teach us new training techniques and answer questions which nobody else could.

Martin’s ability to impart positive training methods to us was invaluable for Harvey. He gave us the confidence to implement the training out on walks and deal with other people’s reactions to Harvey.
Harvey now walks brilliantly on a lead, is not phased by traffic and has a brilliant recall. He adores his walks and being loose. He also loves running round in a pack with Martin’s dogs and his other doggie friends which we never thought he'd be able to do. Thanks to Martin he now has a fantastic quality of life and we would highly recommend Martin to anyone wanting to really bond and understand their dog.
