Understand your dog. Everything else gets easier.

Behaviour and training support for dog owners in Buntingford and across Hertfordshire. For the dogs who bark, lunge, panic, or just can’t seem to settle.

You've tried everything. It still isn't working.

Living with a dog who struggles is exhausting.

Maybe they can’t settle. Maybe walks have become something you dread. Maybe their behaviour feels completely unpredictable and you’ve stopped knowing what sets it off.

You’ve read the articles. You’ve watched the videos. You’ve had advice from six different people that all contradicted each other. And you’re still standing in your kitchen at ten at night wondering what you’re doing wrong.

You’re almost certainly not doing anything wrong. You’re missing a piece of the picture.

Behaviour happens for a reason.

A dog who barks, lunges, pulls, freezes or won’t listen isn’t being difficult. There’s something behind it.

Once you can see what your dog is communicating and what’s driving it, the decisions get easier. You stop guessing. You stop firefighting. You start seeing it coming.

Once you understand what your dog is communicating and what’s driving the behaviour, things start to click. The behaviour stops feeling so random. You stop guessing, you start recognising what your dog needs, and suddenly, for the first time you’ve got a clear way forward.

That’s what I teach. Not a list of techniques to memorise, but an understanding of your dog that you keep for the rest of their life.

Jack was knowledgeable and helpful in improving our dog’s situation. We learnt many new techniques and were reassured along the way with confidence from Jack. Jack was very understanding and patient in our home with a nervous dog. I would highly recommend him to anyone

As first time dog owners, Jack has guided us through puppy training . The 1:1 training in own environment has been invaluable to increase our understanding and focus on specific needs for our puppy and us. We have seen weekly progress with Jack’s patient and professional approach.

Jack helped us with both our dogs but more so Rusty with his general behaviour and also his barking at other dogs when we were out walking. Since working with Jack he is like a different dog. We’ve stopped him from barking and he will happily walk in places where there are other dogs. It is now enjoyable to take him to different places. Jack was brilliant though and if we have any other problems, or if we were to get another dog in the future, I would definitely be using Jack.

We called Jack after our rescue dog sparky decided after 2 years he was going to attack his big brother Oakley, this was over food and the ring of the door bell. This caused us so much stress and worry as some of the incidents had been so traumatic for us, and we also had a small child to think about. After many tears at the thought of potentially having to rehome him, we decided to give Jack ago. We can honestly say it’s the best thing we did! Jack was amazing! He worked out a plan for us, he was always at the end of the phone when we needed some advice, or had a panic about a new situation. Very responsibly priced for all the hours he had put into us, so patient and given us some really great homework to do between sessions. I would recommend Jack to anyone and everyone, which I do! Sparky is a completely different dog and back to how he was and most importantly we have all the skills to now control a situation if it was to happen and help him manage his anxiety. We would 100% use him again! We are so grateful. Ellee & Scott x

My rescue springer can be a strong puller whilst on the lead, but with Jack's guidance (and patience!), I have got to the stage where I can take Elwood out for a walk and the lead is loose! Jack’s positive approach to training and his insight to dog behaviour has made it an enjoyable experience for both me and my boy, and I am confident I now have the tools and techniques to progress even further.

Jack is a wonderful dog behaviourist and trainer. He is so kind and knowledgeable - We are very grateful to have his support and guidance with our rescue dog. Vince is anxious, touch sensitive and very wary of other dogs / strangers. He was losing trust in everything and leaving the house was becoming impossible. Thankfully Jack has helped us to read Vince’s body language, taught us ‘games’ to help him process situations and techniques to help him in stressful circumstances- All through positive reinforcement. We cannot recommend him enough!

Jack was fantastic with my rescue dog, Suki! He provided incredible insight into dog psychology and body language, helping me see things from a dog's perspective and understand how they respond to our actions. When we started, Suki lacked confidence, was easily frustrated, and was more focused on distractions than on me during walks. After just five 1-1 training sessions with Jack, where I was taught several tips and techniques to encourage good behaviour, she’s transformed. She now loves running free, plays confidently with other dogs, and listens to me much better. She even understands when I ask her to calm down after a run! I can’t recommend Jack enough for any behavioral or training challenges. His approach focuses on patience and working at the dog’s own pace, which makes such a difference. It does require effort and commitment on our part as dog owners, but the results are absolutely worth it! Thank you Jack!

Our experience with Jack has been brilliant! It’s clear that he loves dogs and is passionate about what he does. His training was so positive, simple and enjoyable (for the dog and us). Using his techniques, we have been able to easily train our puppy out of some behaviour we didn’t like and instil some good behaviours. We are so pleased with what we achieved in our sessions think they are great value for money! Thank you Jack!
