Ethical and force-free dog trainer based in East Devon.

Helping build a strong relationship between you and your dog

Introduction

About me

Hi, I’m Carl, and I’ve always been a dog lover. I’ve walked the reactive, worked through separation anxiety, trained the squirrel-obsessed, and now I’m here to help you and your dog.

I’ve spent years working with dogs, specialising in leash pulling, recall, obedience and focus, teaching tricks and, most importantly, learning to build strong relationships between dogs and their owners. I can reassure you that any problems you’re experiencing are solvable, they take time but I’ll show you how to enjoy the process and set you in the right direction. I recently moved to Sidmouth and am looking forward to working with people in and around East Devon.

Packages

Behaviour & Training Plans

Once we’ve got all the history and notes from our consultation call and form, you can choose from one of two packages. I always start with a minimum of three sessions, as that’s the bare minimum I’ll need to help you get results. You can order single or multiple follow up sessions once we’ve finished, and those will be at a reduced rate.

What my customers say

The work that Carl has done for us has been transformative and we can’t recommend him highly enough. We were at a complete loss with our puppy and it felt like the situation had become unmanageable, but the strategies that Carl has introduced have turned things around for us. He was able to quickly assess our needs and put together clear, simple exercises that we were all able to follow. His calm and supportive approach has helped us gain the tools we needed and the confidence to put this new understanding into practice.

Kirsty - Norwich

Carl was fantastic in helping us transform our dog’s behaviour. It was amazing to watch Carl’s immediate bond with our dog. We were struggling with reactivity but his calm, practical approach made everything feel manageable. What really helped was Carl explaining behaviours and demonstrating simple and fun exercises to follow. Carl supported us throughout and we seen a huge and lasting improvement. We feel much more confident as owners. I’d highly recommend Carl to anyone needing help with their dog.

Joel - Norwich

As a dog trainer, Carl has been a lifesaver. Rufus, my Red Setter, was incredibly difficult to live with at times, leaving me feeling completely overwhelmed. Carl’s expert training transformed his behavior. Beyond training, his reliable dog sitting and daily walks give me total peace of mind. Rufus absolutely adores him, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without Carl's amazing support!

Service list

Services

Here’s a list of training essentials that I cover. I always ask for a consultation call first and that you fill in a simple form before we work together. We may focus on one (or more) of these core skills with you and your dog.

Behavioural Problems

Many dogs develop behavioural problems such as excessive barking, pulling on the lead, jumping up, anxiety, or reactivity. I help owners understand the “why” behind these behaviours and create tailored, positive training plans to bring calm, confidence, and clarity back to everyday life.

Short Leash

Loose-lead walking is often one of the most difficult skills to train. It can take time but I can give you the skills to get that perfect short leash walk, there are lots of great games we can play to make it fun as well.

Tricks

Not to be dismissed as silly little distractions, tricks help build a solid communication with your dog. Everything we train is a ‘trick’; short leash walking, recall, stopping barking…all of it. Getting them to spin, roll over and beg is a great way to get them engaging with you.

Puppies

I know, puppies are great! But with the cuteness comes problems. It’s a great time to start training though, as you can lay the groundwork to help prevent so many future issues. It’s not all training, we can work on socialisation and habituation, making sure your dog is comfortable in every environment.

Recall

Trust me I’ve been there, I’ve got a hunting dog so recall has been one of the most challenging things to train but I’ve got years of experience! I can give you the best exercises to recall your dog no matter the distraction. It takes patience and the right tools to get there but believe me, it’s possible!
