My job is to give you the understanding, skills and confidence that will allow you to effectively teach your dog and to support and guide you through the process.
Your job is to put what you learn through our dog training into practice
As a former theatre nurse and working in the Army, my journey to finding my true calling with K9s has been a unique and fulfilling one. Growing up in The Chalfonts of Buckinghamshire, I eventually settled in Horley in 2003 with my wife Lisa, who plays an integral role in the logistical and administrative aspects of our lives. Together, we share our home with four rescued female Jack Russells, who have brought immeasurable joy and demands!
It was during my time working in a board and train facility that I truly discovered my passion for working with dogs. Headhunted by a local behaviorist, I found myself immersed in a world where I was responsible for caring for and training up to 15 dogs on any given day. This experience taught me to read dogs quickly and effectively, and I gained invaluable knowledge in handling a variety of behavioral issues, nutrition, first aid, socialization, and training techniques.
With the skills and expertise I acquired, I made the decision to establish my own company, HoundMasters, where I could provide personalized, one-on-one training experiences for dogs and their owners. Currently, I am furthering my education and honing my skills through studies with leerburg.com and pursuing a Level 4 Accredited Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma.
My journey in the world of canine training has been both challenging and rewarding. Every day, I am grateful for the opportunity to work with these incredible animals and to help them reach their full potential. I am excited to see where this path will lead me next, and I am committed to continuing my growth and development as a canine trainer.
Free Initial 1 hour meet and consultation. I pop round to meet you and your doggy and get to know you better. I'll even take my shoes off and ignore your doggy for 5 mins, golden rules as standard!
All training will be done at your property and your regular play/walking area. The more family members in the sessions the better. This allows everyone to be on the same page and to ask questions.
In my opinion, recall will be the most important skill you can teach your dog. It is literally life saving. Can you guarantee your dog's safety when out of sight?
Everyone wants obedience from their dog. This is where we unlock your potential in becoming more interesting than the reason they may be ignoring you. Dogs need jobs and pleasing you should be a primary focus for them.
We give dogs a reason to "listen in" and make the right choice.
Dog taking you for a walk? Unsightly and uncomfortable for the both of you and walking can quickly become a chore. With enhanced communication, leadership and techniques, even the most powerful dog can be trained to walk by your side in a relaxed focal manner.
Balanced socialising is key to maintain confidence and structure. You will learn to engage with other dogs safely and controlled.
Bespoke training services on request, cost to be determined after initial consultation.
Here we meet up with your dog once again to fine-tune the skills you may have forgotten since being with us. We believe it is key to have refreshers in order to keep the principles and new skill sets to the highest standard.
Free video and edited recording. All the lessons are filmed with owner consent (subject to model release form being signed) leaving you with peace of mind that anything missed has been captured as a digital textbook, tailor made for you to keep and playback as and when.
We love working with and caring for your dog! We believe basic advice should be free, so give us a call.
