About Steve Comley Canine Behaviourist & Dog Trainer
Living with a dog who is worried, barking, lunging or struggling with everyday situations can be difficult. I help you understand what may be behind their behaviour and find practical ways to support them.
With over 50 years’ experience in canine behaviour and training, alongside continuing professional development, I bring a patient, individual approach to each dog and guardian.
My work uses positive reinforcement and force-free methods, with your dog’s welfare, confidence and choice at the heart of the process. My holistic approach considers their daily routine, environment, rest, health and emotional needs.
Initial consultations take place in your home, locally, or remote considered where we can discuss your concerns and observe your dog in familiar surroundings. Together, we develop a realistic plan that you can put into practice, with follow-up sessions where needed. Relevant video footage can also help me understand the situations you are experiencing.
I explain what we are doing and why, helping you recognise your dog’s communication and build your own confidence. Training the humans too!
Whether you need help with a behaviour concern or everyday training, please contact me to discuss your dog’s needs and current appointment availability.
Empowering you to think dog. Training the humans too!
Comments
We were recommended Steve through a friend to help us with a few problems we were having with our 18 month old cocker spaniel Tilly.
We wanted him to help us with recall and what to do when birds seemed more exciting than we did!
Steve came and did a thorough assessment of Tilly and also the environment she lived in. A real holistic and worthwhile start to our training.
Since then we have had quite a few sessions with Steve, we started off slow and really worked on the relationship I had with Tilly. It became obvious quite early on that it wasn’t all about training Tilly but myself as well!
Steve provides a clear plan with achievable goals, he checks in to see how we are getting on and really does care about improving on the set objectives
Steve is a wealth of knowledge, he really knows dogs, his approach is calm, kind and confident. He adapts his training to suit Tilly and her needs, empowering us with the tricks we need to make our walks enjoyable and stress free.
Tilly (and I) have loved our sessions with Steve and would definitely recommend him to anyone with a puppy or dog of any age/background.
Thank you Steve 🐶 🐾
We had a one time session with Steve and it was a great experience. Steve was patient, easy to talk to and explained things clearly. Even from just that single session we picked up helpful tips we're still using. Would definitely recommend
