Dog trainer Norwich — I help with any dog and any behavioural issue

ASeparation anxiety is one of the most distressing problems for owners — and one of the most commonly misdiagnosed. Most cases aren’t true anxiety. They’re a dog that has assumed the leadership role and genuinely believes it’s responsible for you. When you leave, it panics — not because it’s emotionally fragile, but because it thinks you’re its dependent.
The fix isn’t gradual exposure programmes or leaving a radio on. It’s changing the dog’s understanding of its role in the household. Once that shifts, the behaviour changes — often from the very first session.

Most dog trainers in Norwich won’t work with aggressive dogs. It’s my speciality.
Aggression — whether towards other dogs, strangers, or family members — almost always has the same root cause: a dog that believes it’s in charge and is acting accordingly. It’s not a broken dog. It’s a dog doing exactly what a pack leader would do when it perceives a threat.
I address the cause, not the symptom. No muzzle desensitisation programmes, no counter-conditioning protocols. I show you how to change your dog’s understanding of its role, and the aggression resolves as a consequence. I work with all breeds including those other trainers turn away.

As a dog trainer, I often encounter dogs that pull while walking, and I’ve found that this behaviour frequently stems from overexcitement or a lack of proper lead training. It results in reactivity.Teaching loose-lead walking techniques can make a world of difference. I emphasise the importance of using the right equipment, which can help promote better behaviour during our walks. Distractions can lead dogs to pull on their leads.

I frequently see dogs jumping up on people as a greeting, which many perceive as friendly, but it can be overwhelming, especially with larger breeds. Dogs jump up because they haven’t been given a clear alternative. It’s a status and excitement behaviour — and in most cases, it’s fixed quickly once the owner understands what’s driving it and responds consistently. I’ll show you exactly what to do and why it works. All owners see a difference the same day.

A dog that won’t come back when called is one of the most stressful problems an owner can face — and one of the most misunderstood. In most cases it isn’t a training failure. It’s a status issue. The dog doesn’t believe it needs to respond to you, because in its mind, you aren’t the one in charge.
I don’t use treats to teach recall. Treat-based recall creates a dog that comes back when it feels like it — or when you happen to have food. What I teach instead is a relationship where your dog responds to you because of who you are, not what you’re carrying. Most owners see a reliable response by the end of the first visit.
