Relationship Centred Training. International Expertise.

Built on a Foundation of Dog Psychology.

The Dogs Way.

Regional Dog Behaviour Specialists.

With a focus on dog psychology at the core of everything we do, and a dedication to a higher quality of training and education.

We’re here for the dogs that need it most. The fearful ones, The Hyperactive ones, the Aggressive ones and the Anxious ones. We’re here for the terrified dogs - the abandoned, the neglected and abused. We’re here for the dogs that can’t be left alone, the dogs that are too scared to leave the home, the territorial ones that won’t let anyone else in, and the ones that won’t leave anyone alone. We’re here for the dogs that local trainers couldn’t solve, and the ones that no one else wants to help. We’re the people who deal with these kinds of issues every day. For the people who want a better relationship and a deeper connection with their dog. Welcome to The Dog’s Way.

Blackberry season is one of my favourite times of year - and at the farm we have them in spades, which means the snacks literally grow on trees! Blackberries are also safe for Théo, who is more than capable of helping himself.
I absolutely love this dog - Even as beagles go. She has SO much personality. Mabel definitely put me through my paces - she puts the Very in “Very High Energy”, she’s so confident, and really doesn’t like limits on her abilit

I think some people believe that dog training is just cuddling puppies all day, and whilst that’s rarely the case - it was an extra special treat to have a little Luca up for some puppy development work. We don’t do “normal” -

A study in sunshine. If my dogs all had superhero powers, the little sun worshipper herself has the ability to always find the warmest place in the room. I melt for this dog! By comparison, Théo who is aptly called ‘the dark knight&rsquo

Client spotlight: I was asked a couple of weeks ago what my favourite kind of case was to work with, and if there was ever a dog that could answer that question, it’s Freya. I will admit, her original brief isn’t pretty. Chronically fearf
No, this isn’t Théo! This is Busby - who visited last week to work on his fear of water. His Labrador instruction manual got lost in the post, so he’s been scared of everything from puddles, paddling pools, to garden hoses and the

The King Himself. Fergus came up to the farm to work on some of his lead work, relaxation and over enthusiasm towards dogs. It turns out that unlike me, not every dog wants to get your autograph Fergus! This guy is a true Front Energy male, and an ab

This is what true love looks like. Harry came for a visit today to work with Ste - 9 months old and doing all the things that young dogs do when they’re overexcited. So he’s been learning to relax and receive affection in a calmer way. Ha

Very knowledgeable and had an instant rapport with our dogs. Their behaviour, and how we interact with them has improved as a result. We were almost ready to give up with one of our dogs, but things are so much better now.

James is patient, extremely knowledgeable, insightful and generous with his time. I am so glad we found him to help with our dog. He has given us the confidence and skills to walk her at any time of day, to take her to a café, to have visitors in the house, all of which were almost impossible before we met him. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, James.

Abbi & Dora

Such a lovely experience for me and my girls. James is open, warm, patient and personable. He has a lovely way with dogs - my girls loved him and I got so much out of it too. I would highly recommend.

Luxury British Dog Leads & Collars

Inspired by Yorkshire - Proudly Made In England

James (and The Dogs Way) work miracles! I rehomed my 11 month old Working Cocker Spaniel 2 months ago and it soon became apparent she really struggled with separation anxiety to the point which I couldn’t leave the room for a matter of seconds without her crying and clawing at the door. At a loss for how to resolve this I gave James a call and after the initial phone consultation I had all the confidence in the world if anyone was going to help Cally it would be James. We had a home visit the following week and I was amazed at how quickly Cally took to what James was teaching us. Fast forward to not even 2 weeks since the home visit and I’ve just been able to leave Cally for an hour and a half with absolutely no whimpering, crying, scratching! It genuinely feels like we have a different dog! I couldn’t recommend James and The Dogs Way enough!
