Don't take my word for it just read what the real people had say about the change in their dogs
Joanne Olsen-Bath, Somerset, UK.
We cannot recommend Steven James enough! This experience has been such an eye opener and we now have a happier dog, happier owners and some great walks. Steven James’ knowledge and guidance has helped so much in the relationship with our Dachshund and how we command/behave around him. We previously found walks draining, with a very stubborn and worried dog, and we avoided a lot of situations where we could possibly meet other dogs as our dog was reactive towards big dogs. After our sessions with Steven James we now have great walks, we revisit old paths and parks that we had dismissed and our Dachshund is happier, fitter and calmer. The sessions have been eyeopening on how we are as owners and Steven James has been calm, thorough and understanding through the process. These sessions is such a great investment for any dog owner! We absolutely recommend this to everybody.

" When we first contacted Steven James we were on the verge of giving one of our dogs away. They would constantly fight and could not be in the same space at all. This had been the case since August 2019. They were born in December 2018 and were best friends until one day they just snapped. We had to put up a pen with fencing and black plastic, so they could not see each other or they would go mad to get at each other, they had to be completely separated all the time, which made things very difficult, it was depressing. During the time they had with Steven, we realised we had been doing things completely wrong. By the end of the Stevens training, they were best friends again, playing together, eating from the same bowl and sleeping together in the terrace, with their mum."

“I came over from Denmark for the training. Such a radical difference in 6 sessions. Our dog Mu is being so grown up & well behaved. Steven is awesome!!! Intuitive and experienced he is the best dog trainer.”
Thank you

'*We were having problems with Alice, our rescue dogs recall. I also found walking her on the lead a pain as she pulled. Steve helped us understand why she behaved the way she did and what we needed to change if we wanted to see different behaviour. We made changes at home and to our behaviour and we went back to basics when it came to walking her. Steve was knowledgeable, hands-on with Alice, helpful and professional. His positive and calm approach was reassuring. We followed his advice and I can honestly say things are so much better. Taking Alice for a walk on the lead is a pleasure and her recall is much improved. It really only took a few sessions to see improvement. She is a lot happier, focused and calmer and walks are so much more enjoyable. No more standing around in the rain trying to coax her back while she runs in every direction but the one you want ! We will keep practicing what Steve has taught us as it has had a positive impact for all of us. Can't thank Steve enough."

Steven was absolutely brilliant with scooby and jolly, he has completely changed jolly’s attitude towards being stroked and petted, he hated it at first but now he loves it but only on his terms and scooby has changed his perception of strangers, would thoroughly recommend Steve to anybody, he can work wonders especially with rescue dogs. Well done Steve

"I have four dogs which had all got out of control. The dogs were biting each other, digging up the garden, escaping from the outside run, pooping in the house, peeing in our beds and my husband was at breaking point. I saw an advert for Steven James. I decided that this was the last chance or we would have to rehome some of our dogs. My heart was breaking and I reluctantly called him."
"I can't believe that was just one month ago. Steve came to my home 6 times and showed us exactly how to take control of our dogs and our lives. The problem wasn't just our dogs, it was also us. I thought I knew how to discipline a dog. I thought I understood how they thought. I thought all I had to do was love them. But it was pulling our family apart. Steve helped to build our confidence to set healthy boundaries. Steve gave us the confidence to apply routine and discipline and that has changed our lives. I can now take the shopping, out of the car, without the chaos of dogs jumping all over us. Our children don't get knocked over when by a stampede of dogs. We don't have to jump fences to access our own front terrace. We open the gate!! The dogs sit and wait while the gate is opened and closed. It's now as different as night and day."
"Steven is incredibly knowledgeable and we enjoyed his company very much. He came along on many long walks, up and over the hills and was an absolute gentleman. Steve has corrected our faults. It was us in part who was at fault for our unmanageability. But, as he is a gentleman he would not say, providing us with the information to work it out for ourselves. He didn't tell us! We are now a very happy family and enjoy our dogs so much now. The stress has gone. My husband no longer is angry with the dogs all the time. I can't thank Steve enough for what he has given our family.

Steven changed everything for us with our dog, walking on a lead perfectly now. His recall was terrible before, now he comes back every time. Thanks, Steve!
