About stephen

I am a certified dog trainer specialising in reactivity and aggression, I only use up to date methods and follow the LIMA/LIFE ethos. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I am the guardian for 2 senior dogs, 6 adult dogs and 3 pups under one year. I love shepherds and most working dog breeds since we mainly have sheps & collies in the home. I have cared for 400+ dogs during my career even having clients send their dogs aboard to stay with me. all dogs staying with me are treated as my own, same rewards, toys, walks and freedoms. Walks can be anywhere from a stroll in the woods to a hike up the mountains. home boarding dogs can be crated if needed but otherwise they will be able to free roam as they see fit. I started on Gudog as way to socialise my own dogs again as we came from London and dog parks were abundant i take all breeds, all sizes and all ages i take dogs with behavioural issues excluding aggressive behaviours to other animals We have 6 cats who roam around, all have been raised around dogs and have no bother with new dogs. All stays require a meet and greet (small walk) to make sure the dogs get along and that your dogs feel safe with us, this is non-optional unfortunately

Stephen is fantastic to deal with. Really professional and deeply passionate about what he does. Felt very confident that Hugo was in good hands during his stay and would get plenty of attention and care. Highly recommended

Excellent sitter, very resourceful with passion for dogs which is really hard to find. Organised and staged introduction for our dog to the home environment. We did a previous introductory meet locally prior to staying which was great. Stephen is a pleasure to know and understands and is comfortable with the larger breeds. We will be back. Book without hesitation.

Perfect sitter! Highly recommended! Amazing understanding of our dog's needs and mood and character! Will definitely return!
