Dog Walking & Drop In

I offer three core services: Behaviour & Training Support, Private Puppy School and Dog Walking & Drop In. I focus on providing reliable, personalised care and expert guidance.

I am Stephen Gardner. As the sole specialist, I personally provide all training, behaviour support, and structured walking services, ensuring a consistent and expert approach for every client.

I use a balanced training approach built on clear communication, fair structure, and understanding. I use positive reinforcement alongside fair, timely corrections to teach dogs how to make better choices and build confidence.

No. I specialise in addressing complex and challenging behaviours, including leash reactivity, aggression, separation distress, anxiety, and resource guarding.

Every dog is individually assessed. I tailor the entire process, including behaviour modification and training, to match your dog's specific temperament, drives, and motivations.

My structured walks provide more than just exercise; they reinforce good behaviour and training principles. This ensures your dog engages positively while out and returns home calm, fulfilled, and ready to settle.

I provide my services, including specialist behaviour & training across, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset. Dog walking & drop-in is carried out in the Wincanton area.

My goal is to build your confidence as an owner, enabling you to enjoy a life with a calm, responsive, and well-mannered companion without the stress of unwanted behaviours.

Yes. I provide essential guidance on establishing consistent structure, positive socialisation, basic obedience (like recall), and effective bite inhibition during this crucial early phase.

The result is a lasting foundation of balance, respect, and trust between you and your dog, leading to a well-mannered companion who listens and enjoys life alongside you.
