Probably Not The First Dog Trainer You've Tried, But Guaranteed To Be The Last.
Imagine sitting outside a pub with your dog at your feet. Calm. Relaxed. No death grip on the lead. Imagine walks where you're not scanning the horizon for other dogs. Imagine visitors coming over and your dog just... settling.
That's not a dream. That's what this programme delivers.
You Feel The Guilt Every Single Day.
You're planning your walks around avoiding other dogs. You're driving to the park because you can't walk out of your own street. You're out at the crack of dawn before anyone else is around, because that's the only time it's manageable.
And it's not just other dogs. The doorbell goes and your dog loses it. A delivery driver walks up the path and it's chaos. Someone comes to visit and you're spending the whole time managing your dog instead of enjoying the company.
"I feel like it could be too late."
Whether you've had them since they were a pup or rescued them with a history you'll never fully know — I've seen every situation. This is not your fault, and your dog is not a lost cause.
You Are Not Alone
Most of the people who come to me feel this exact same way. This isn't a reflection of you or your dog. It's a reflection of an industry full of conflicting, and often rubbish, advice — and trainers who teach obedience when what your dog actually needs is behaviour change. There's a difference.
Most people think the answer is more training — stronger obedience, more socialisation, finding that one magic treat. But here's the truth: for a reactive dog, piling on more obedience without addressing the root cause is like trying to fix a leaking pipe by shouting at the water.
It doesn't just fail to work. It often makes the problem much, much worse.
The 6-Week Reactive Dog Programme
I don't slap a plaster of obedience over your dog's issues. I change how they feel about the trigger in the first place.
In-Person. Forest of Dean Area. Proven Results.
Pre-Training & Assessment
Game Plan
Before we even meet, I'll learn about your dog — their triggers, history, what sets them off. Then I come to you for an in-depth home assessment. We build the plan together, tailored to your dog. Not a template.
Foundation Sessions
1:1 Training
Three 1:1 sessions over three weeks, in the real places your dog needs to behave. Streets, paths, parks. Between each session, you get a personalised plan to follow. This is where you'll see the first real shifts.
Real-World Application
Group Walks
Two small group walks to put everything into practice with other dogs around. Controlled, carefully managed. This is where it all clicks and your dog starts generalising the new behaviour.
Graduation & Next Steps
Freedom
We wrap up with a call to go over your progress, celebrate the wins, and map out what comes next. You'll have a clear playbook to keep things going long after we're done.
Imagine This For A Second.
Imagine enjoying peaceful walks again. Imagine feeling confident and in control, able to take your dog anywhere without fear or stress.
Imagine your dog being calm and focused on you, even when triggers appear. That's not a dream. That's what's possible. And that's what I aim to achieve for every owner and dog that works with me.
My Approach vs. The Old Way
The Old Way
Focuses on obedience to mask the problem.
Uses distraction-based techniques that are doomed to fail.
Generic advice that doesn't account for your specific dog.
Relies on endless treats that lose power over time.
One-off sessions with no follow-up or support.
Often makes the problem worse, leading to years of frustration.
My Approach
Changes how your dog feels about the trigger — not just how they respond.
Works with your dog's natural instincts, not against them.
Personalised plan built around your dog's specific triggers and environment.
Builds real, lasting motivation from within — not bribery.
6 weeks of structured, consistent support with WhatsApp access to me.
Results guarantee — or your money back. Simple.
If You've Already Tried A Trainer And It Didn't Work — Here's Why.
Most trainers teach obedience. I fix behaviour. Those are not the same thing.
Obedience is about getting your dog to perform commands. Behaviour change is about changing how your dog feels about the trigger in the first place. Until you change the emotional response, you're just managing symptoms.
That "sit" command fails the moment another dog appears on the horizon. That's why you've been told "keep practising" for months with no real progress.
You haven't failed. You've just been given the wrong tools for the job.
This Isn't For Everyone. That's On Purpose.
This Is For You If...
You have a reactive dog and you're ready for a real solution that works.
Your dog's reactivity has been going on for months or even years.
You can commit to 2-3 sessions a day (20-30 minutes each) for most dogs.
You understand that real change takes time and consistent effort.
You're tired of the conflicting advice and want a clear path forward.
You want to give your dog the best quality of life possible.
Probably Not For You If...
You're looking for a quick, magic fix or overnight results.
You're not willing to put the work in and follow the process.
You want me to train your dog without you being involved.
You're shopping around for the cheapest option available.
What Makes This Different
Life Skills, Not Nagging
I don't nag your dog into submission. I teach them life skills so they can make better choices on their own.
No Pocketful of Cheese
You won't need to carry treats just to survive a walk. I build real focus and engagement that doesn't depend on bribery.
Fulfil Their Instincts
I show you how to fulfil your dog's natural desires, creating a happier, more balanced companion.
Clear Communication
This isn't about dominance. It's about clear communication, trust, and a respectful partnership between you and your dog.
I'm Mike, And I've Been Exactly Where You Are.
I had a reactive dog. Tried different trainers, different methods, hours of googling at midnight. Some things helped a bit. Most didn't.
What I realised was that the effort wasn't the problem. I was just using the wrong approach. So I changed things up, took a more structured route, and within weeks I could see the difference.
Turns out, about 20% of what I was doing was driving 80% of the results. Once I stripped it back, everything got easier. My dog got calmer, more confident, happier.
So I turned that approach into a proper programme. Something I could take to other dog owners stuck in the same loop I'd been in.
Real-World Training
I Train Where It Matters. Not In A Hall.
Every session is hands-on, in real places. The streets, paths, and parks where your dog actually needs to behave. Not a sterile training room where everything's easy.
You'll learn what to do, when to do it, and why it works. So when the programme's done, you can handle things yourself.
Here's What You're Actually Getting.
No waffle. Just the details.
Programme Length
Structured timeline with clear milestones

So every dog gets my full attention

Frequently Asked Questions
Because most trainers teach obedience. I fix behaviour. Those are not the same thing. I address the root emotional cause of reactivity, not just the symptoms. This programme is built specifically around your dog's triggers, your environment, and your daily routine.
Any breed. Reactivity isn't a breed thing, it's a behaviour. I've worked with everything from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds. The programme gets tailored to your dog, whatever they are.
Very unlikely. Whether you've had them since they were a pup or rescued them at 3 years old with a history you'll never fully know — I've seen every situation. This is not your fault, and your dog is not a lost cause.
I'd ask for 2-3 sessions a day, about 20-30 minutes each for most dogs. It's designed for real people with busy lives. I focus on integrating training into your daily routine, not adding hours of work to your plate.
The right lead, harness, and a few other bits I recommend for your dog specifically. I've seen too many people using kit that actually makes reactivity worse, so I want you set up properly from day one.
Attend all sessions and do the homework. If your dog's top 3 problem behaviours (which we agree on together in the assessment) haven't noticeably improved, I'll give you 2 free 1:1 sessions. Still not happy after that? Full refund.
Let's talk about it on the call. I want to make sure it's the right fit first. I'm also happy to discuss payment options if that helps.
You could try. But how long have you been trying already? If you wanted results by now, you'd have them. This gives you a proven plan and someone in your corner the whole way through.
You Don't Have To Live With The Stress, Guilt, And Isolation For Another Day.
A calmer, happier life with your dog is possible, and it starts here.
Book a free 15-minute consultation call below.
We'll talk about your dog, what's going on, and whether this is the right fit.
If it's right, we get started. If not, I'll point you in the right direction.
