QUALIFIED CANINE BEHAVIOURIST

AND DOG TRAINER

Covering Stroud and all of Gloucestershire

Sirius Dog Stars was founded on my philosophy that for any dog training to be truly effective,

the training should focus as much on the dog’s human family as it does on your dog itself.

Ultimately, training your dog is about learning to communicate effectively with your canine companion,

in order to maximize all the good in the relationship together.

I teach you how to speak dog.

ABOUT

Stephen dog trainer portrait Sirius Dog Stars training

Hi, my name is Stephen, here I am with my 4 year old Springer Spaniel, Barney enjoying an afternoon out on the river Severn..

My journey in dog training began through my love of dogs, the joy they bring into our lives and understanding how each dog has it's very own unique way of learning.

Through my training, I help you understand your dogs needs by teaching you about your own dogs unique psychology and effective ways to communicate with them in a way that they understand as canines.

We work at your dogs unique pace, in simple to understand steps to implement, where they themselves learn what is needed of them through kind, loving leadership and without any need for endless training sessions.

MY METHOD OF DOG TRAINING

Whether you have a new pup or new dog that is starting life in their pawever home, a new rescue or a dog that has developed behavioural challenges, together in my consultation, we create a rock solid foundation with a step by step plan that you can easily follow and put in place.

I believe that it’s time for a new way of thinking about how we work with our dogs. The time has come for a change to a connection based approach that your dog really understands and thrives under, empowering you to fully understand their canine language and coming into a new partnership with your canine companion.

Traditional training tends to focus only on SYMPTOMS, however this can be a slow approach and can often result over time, that the same or even different issues return, leading to weeks or months more training.

With my method of training, I teach you how to understand why your dogs unwanted behaviour is causing you problems, how they individually learn and the psychology of these UNDERLYING ISSUES.

During the first consultation I look at your dogs unique personality and explain why there are issues that have arisen.

Once you have a full understanding of why your dog is displaying unwanted behaviours, we put steps in place, enabling you to clearly communicate with your dog, in a way they understand as canines.

Through the training methods, they clearly communicate to the dog that undesirable behaviour is no longer necessary. Your dog will be calmer and start making the right decisions through gentle guidance and direction.

Truly effective training requires support from your trainer, I am totally committed to providing reliable and professional customer service to all my clients. I understand you are all learning a new way of being and you will not be alone in the process.

My core belief and why I founded Sirius Dog Stars, is to foster that strong bond between dogs and the people who love them. Dogs offer a unique companionship that adds value and richness to our lives.

Through personalised solutions and working with proven positive dog training, I provide a focus on owner education & canine psychology, using a methodology that your dog truly understands and responds to of their own free will.
