SIRIUS DOG STARS KEY VALUES
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 the dog itself.
Ultimately, training your dog is about learning to communicate effectively, in order to maximize all the good in the relationship together.
I only use modern natural, gentle, positive based training techniques that works with your dogs instinct, unique character and personality.
I teach you how to talk dog!
MODERN POSITIVE DOG PSYCHOLOGY
BASED TRAINING
WHY DOGS THRIVE USING THIS METHOD
Modern positive dog training focuses on building a strong, connection driven relationship between you and your dog. This science backed approach helps your dog truly understand what’s expected of them, allowing them to thrive emotionally, physically and mentally. The training methods used clearly communicate to your dog, using canine psychology, that undesirable behaviour is no longer necessary.
Traditional old fashioned 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 the method of training I am qualified in, which works holistically, it builds a strong bond between you and your dog, helping them feel safe, understood and motivated to learn.
I teach you how to understand why your dogs unwanted behaviour is causing you problems, how dogs individually learn and the psychology of these UNDERLYING ISSUES.
This method of dog training results in your dog being calmer and looking to you for loving guidance and direction.
SETTING YOU ALL UP FOR SUCCESS
In the training we work together in your home to begin with. I teach you how you can come alongside your dog quickly and easily using the 5 Key Pillars of Success.
Using these methods ACHIEVES POWERFUL RESULTS that far surpass what can be achieved using weeks or months of outdated traditional training methods. Modern positive dog psychology based training works with your dogs own unique character.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO FULLY GAIN YOUR DOGS COOPERATION THROUGH CLEAR COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHIP IN A WAY THAT YOUR DOG WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEEDED OF THEM.
SUPPORTING YOU ALL THE WAY ON YOUR JOURNEY
I provide handouts for you during the sessions, with clear and concise instructions to follow, tailored to your dogs needs and send you a pre-consult and post consult emails, with detailed observations and solutions that we have put in place, working with your dogs own unique character and psychology.
MEET YOUR TRAINER
Hi, my name is Stephen, here I am with my 4 year old English Springer Spaniel, Barney. 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 own unique way of learning. Barney is such a great teacher to me, helping me understand and fine tune true canine communication.
As a fully qualified dog trainer and canine behaviourist covering Stroud and all of Gloucestershire, I help you:
* Understand the psychology behind your dog's behaviour.
* Identify the underlying causes of unwanted behaviour in your dog.
* Communicate with your dog in a way they instinctively understand as canines.
We work with your dogs unique way of learning, to prevent overwhelm and shut down in your dog, in simple to understand steps to implement.
Your dog will learn what is needed of them through clear gentle communication, kind loving leadership and without the need for endless training sessions.
You won't find my business on social media as I've grown it organically, through word of mouth,
that gives me the time to fully support you and your dogs.
