Are you tired of managing your dog’s behaviour and ready to start changing it?
This programme is designed for owners who want more than quick fixes or one-off sessions. It is a high-support, structured behaviour journey focused on creating real, lasting change. Not just better behaviour during training, but better behaviour in real life.
Whether you’re dealing with lead pulling, unreliable recall, lack of focus under distraction, or behaviours that make everyday life stressful at home or out and about, this programme gives you a clear, proven path forward.
Because meaningful behaviour change doesn’t happen in an hour on a training field, it happens in the moments between sessions. That’s where most programmes fall short. This one doesn’t.
You’ll be supported through a blend of hands-on coaching and structured at-home implementation, ensuring progress continues long after we’ve worked together in person.
Rather than overwhelming you with information, everything is focused on clarity, consistency, and execution.
I don’t believe in “fixing” dogs. I believe in building capable, confident owners who understand how behaviour is created, reinforced, and sustained.
This programme is a partnership. When you commit to the structure and habits provided, you move beyond temporary improvements and toward a calm, reliable, and cooperative dog you can trust in everyday life.
If you’re prepared to put the work in, I’ll give you the clarity, guidance, and support to make it count.
Apply to work together and invest in the dog you’ve always wanted.






EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Posted on Google Henry DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve’s been great, helping us with Diva’s issues with recall and building her confidence walking in busy environments. The support in between sessions was really helpful too. Would highly recommend. Thanks again StevePosted on Google Aisha KilbrideTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where to even begin?! I couldn't recommend Steve at Proud Dog more! We completed his 8-week programme with our dog, Dodger, and it's honestly been one of the best investments we've made. We wanted help with Dodger's recall and his habit of jumping up, and the progress has been incredible. Steve's approach is calm, supportive and was completely tailored to us. Everything is broken down into simple, manageable steps, so it never felt overwhelming. The combination of meeting in-person as well as the video feedback and ongoing support between sessions meant we always felt confident and knew exactly what to work on. Steve didn't just help train Dodge - he gave me the confidence and understanding to continue making progress since we finished our programme. As we're quite local we get to see Steve and his dog Sam on walks sometimes, which is always super nice. If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and uses kind, effective methods, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Proud Dog.Posted on Google Lindsey WellsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve was a complete joy to work with and was very patient and friendly. We like to ask a lot of questions and he was always happy to answer them, both during sessions and in-between. We still have a couple sessions left, but the training has already really helped Poppy’s recall and she’s much more engaged with us. Super happy, thankyou!Posted on Google Rebecca ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve is wonderful with our dog! He has done both training hours with our 8 month old black lab as well as drop ins and walks. His communication is wonderful and we highly recommend his services.Posted on Google Samantha TufoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked some training with Steve to help with my Cockapoo Buzz and his terrible lead pulling and recall. I was nervous to have 1:1 training but Steve instantly put me at ease. We’re both loving the sessions and Steve is great at reading him and deciding when he needs a break and when he’s ready for the next step, and Buzz is already so much better than he was! Very excited to continue our sessions and would recommended Steve to anyone needing training support.Posted on Google Sue WylieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve has worked MIRACLES with my boy Harry, who at 10 & a half years old has had lots of social issues with other dogs for most of his life, but he has managed to getting him walking side by side with his own dog and also not on his halti just leading from his collar, no pulling, no whiping around at his dog or others. It gives me huge assurance to know that Harry is safe with him when out on a walk, having a calm and enjoyable exercise routine. Thank you Steve
