Introduction

About me

Samson was our family German Shepherd, honestly, we didn’t have a clue what we were doing with him! He was well loved and had a good life but it did leave a nagging question; how do you train a dog like him?

I’ve always been known as having a knack with dogs, I’ve dog-sat for friends and been who they turn to when their dogs are a bit ‘difficult’. Solving lots of little (and big) problems; reactivity, separation anxiety and (in one case) a German Shepherd with a bite history.

Recently I took on a challenging Pointer called Roo. Pointers can be a difficult breed and I’ve had to learn the hard way how to train a dog that really wants to chase squirrels. She’s my perfect partner, constantly pushing me to learn more and develop as a trainer. I can guarantee you that if you think your dog ignores you, or pulls on the leash, I’ve been there and it’s probably been much worse.

I recently studied to be a dog trainer, so I could break down what I was doing right (and wrong), develop and add to those skills, so now I can help you with your dog. I’m a fully qualified DTC (Dog Training College) trainer, (DTC-CDT). I keep up to date with all the changes in the dog training world with a program of continual professional development.

I’m currently based in Sidmouth, East Devon, loving the landscape and massive hills on our dog walks. I’m hoping to help as many people as I can with their dogs, so no matter what the problem is, get in touch so we can work together.

What my customers say

The work that Carl has done for us has been transformative and we can’t recommend him highly enough. We were at a complete loss with our puppy and it felt like the situation had become unmanageable, but the strategies that Carl has introduced have turned things around for us. He was able to quickly assess our needs and put together clear, simple exercises that we were all able to follow. His calm and supportive approach has helped us gain the tools we needed and the confidence to put this new understanding into practice.

Carl was fantastic in helping us transform our dog’s behaviour. It was amazing to watch Carl’s immediate bond with our dog. We were struggling with reactivity but his calm, practical approach made everything feel manageable. What really helped was Carl explaining behaviours and demonstrating simple and fun exercises to follow. Carl supported us throughout and we seen a huge and lasting improvement. We feel much more confident as owners. I’d highly recommend Carl to anyone needing help with their dog.

Joel - Norwich

As a dog trainer, Carl has been a lifesaver. Rufus, my Red Setter, was incredibly difficult to live with at times, leaving me feeling completely overwhelmed. Carl’s expert training transformed his behavior. Beyond training, his reliable dog sitting and daily walks give me total peace of mind. Rufus absolutely adores him, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without Carl's amazing support!
