The Underdog Trainer

The Underdog Trainer It is our passion to help dogs and their owners develop life-long bond based on mutual understanding, communication and kind, effective training.

We offer several packages of bespoke 1-2-1 training designed to help rescue and rehomed dogs settle comfortably into their new home, to equip their owners with the tools to understand, train and communicate with their dog and to provide a firm foundation of trust, enjoyment in each other’s company and understanding on which to build on long into the future. Using modern techniques based on the sci

ence of learning theory, positive reinforcement and an understanding of the dog’s often imperfect past, we can help to foster a lifelong relationship based on a caring and compassionate understanding of why your dog behaves the way he does – and more importantly how to fix it in a way that won’t damage your relationship, or the trust that it can often be so hard to build. Our training session packages are designed to address obedience, training and communication topics in varying levels of depth, depending of the needs of you and your dog. Although there are some pre-planned basic aspects of each programme they will be tailored to suit you and your dog’s needs to make the best use of our time together. Your dog already knows sit and paw? No problem, we could spend more time on mind games. Your dog walks calmly glued to your side? No worries, we can do extra work on stopping unwanted jumping. Your dog is taking time to come out of their shell? Not an issue, we can work on confidence and trust building games and exercises at their own pace! We also offer one off sessions in which we can discuss specific training or communication problems in more detail, or to give you a taster as to what we can achieve together. Every training package will be bespoke to you and your dog and take place in the comfort of your own home (or garden!), helping you and your dog to practice your behaviour in the place where it matters most!

Check out the awesome Oli Juste discussing all things toilet training!

When we first think about getting a puppy, we think about the cuddles and
all the fun stuff. However after a couple of days in our home we start
scratching our heads and wonder how can such a small thing wee and poo so
much. Where does it all come from? Then getting that little terror toilet ...

If I were to ask any dog owner “Would you like a well trained dog?” they would likely say “Yes!”. Then if I were to ask the same owner “Would you like a well behaved d…

Loved seeing my favourite double act today! Zac (right) was rescued by his new mum and is living with his amazing little sister Minnie (left). Both made lots of progress, earned lots of cheese, and we're worn out and snuggled up after we'd finished. Can't wait to keep seeing their progress in the weeks to come!

Ever wondered what your dog is really saying...?

For me, one of the most thrilling parts of being a dog trainer is the feeling (when it’s going well) that you’re really communicating with the dog that you’re training. It’s…
