I have been training dogs as a hobby for over 15 years and I founded Your Dog Needs You in 2010. In this relatively short period of time I have helped more than a thousand people with my tips, blogs, articles, products and videos.

I am not only a dog trainer, I am also a specialist in coaching people. This means not only do I have the know-how and experience to train dogs well, I am able to empower owners to train their own dogs; there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing dog owners develop a loving and hassle-free relationship with their dogs. The secret is all about loving leadership; I am often asked how I am able to train dogs so well – I always respond “dogs love a strong leader – if you can show them whose boss in a loving way, then you’ll have an obedient and loyal companion for life.”

I have had the privilege of working face to face with many dog and puppy owners by helping them to overcome their dogs’ behavioral problems as well as enhancing their dogs’ lives through obedience, health and love. I am also committed to improving the relationship between owners and their dogs.

I own two Manchester Terriers, Frodo and Ziggy (you’ll sometimes see them in my training videos and pictured next to my tips and articles).

To you and your dog’s health & happiness,
