About Sean
My early career was in teaching, where I developed the leadership and communication skills necessary to help people develop understanding and learn new skills. Alongside a senior corporate role, I then spent several years working with renowned pet behaviourist and international lecturer Sarah Whitehead to develop my own knowledge and expertise in dog training, and I now operate two successful dog care businesses in South London.
I live in Camberwell in South London and have owned dogs all my adult life, my current dog is a Labrador called Charlie. When not working with clients and their dogs, I love walking my own dog with friends and family, as well as continuing to attend training courses such as the Gun Dog training course that I attended in May 2022.

‘Sean Hyden Dog Trainer’ provides bespoke one-to-one dog training, in the comfort of owners’ homes, for puppies, adolescent, adult, senior and rehomed dogs in many postcodes withing South London. I am a Clever Dog Company Method Licensed Trainer, operating under a license awarded to me by Sarah Whitehead. Sarah is an internationally renowned pet behaviour counsellor and CEO of the Clever Dog Company.
I focus my dog and puppy training sessions on the areas that you want help with. The sessions typically cover training some of the fundamental skills we need our dogs to learn (for example, loose leash walking, recall or impulse control), alongside how to handle certain challenging issues (for example, separation anxiety, acceptable play with dogs and children, over excitability, or jumping up). Please see the Training page for more details.

‘Sean Takes The Dogs Out’ is the dog walking element of my business, providing professional, reliable, flexible and affordable dog walking services in South London, covering Camberwell, Loughborough Junction, Brixton, Oval, and Stockwell. I operate group walks every weekday lunchtime, and some other times during the week. I also provide individual walks for dogs that, for whatever reason, cannot walk comfortably in a group. My ‘Walk & Train’ service is becoming increasingly popular, leveraging my skills as a Clever Dog Company licensed method trainer, and combining walking and training in a single session.
I am an experienced and fully qualified walker (licensed, insured, canine first aid trained, criminal record checked) and strive to provide a high-quality service to my clients.

Reviews
Owen Ross - Camberwell - Training Client
We have a Paterdale terrier boy who Sean has helped us train. Sean is a really good listener and zeros in on what we are interested in fixing. He follows up and we exchanged videos and messages after the sessions, which means if something hasn’t worked we change it. The dog has improved a lot and is a calmer happier dog now, which is great. We’d really recommend Sean and trust him completely with the dog.
Kayleigh Long - Dulwich - Training Client
Sean has provided us with 121 dog training sessions for our jack russell and he has helped us with several areas. He only uses kind and positive methods and we have seen some fast results! He really listens to what you want to achieve, gets to know your dog in their home environment, and tailors the training accordingly and is very flexible and dynamic with his approach. We have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and he has been great at communicating between sessions as and when needed. Sean has also provided clear advice in preparation for our first baby’s arrival which we have found helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sean to others.
Alun Bayliss – Camberwell - Walking Client
If anyone is looking for a reliable dog walker then I would highly recommend Sean. From the moment Sean became involved we felt we could trust him. He takes our dog out five times a week and has been flexible in meeting our requirements. In our view he is particularly good with larger dogs - ours is a chocolate Labrador- and we have seen a change for the better in our dogs behaviour and level of discipline which has been a concern to us as our dog has grown up. Most importantly our dog adores Sean which is lovely to see and we feel Sean genuinely cares for our dog.
Joe Long - Camberwell - Training Client
We hired Sean to guide us with training our new puppy Bramble. We particularly liked Sean’s approach of preparing us as the owners to take the lead on training our dog. He clearly demonstrated each exercise, and then handed over to us to practice whilst he provided guidance. This gave us the confidence to take forward the training between sessions and our dog consequently picked things up quickly and made great progress. It was also great fun for us too! Sean took the time to explain the rationale of the training approach to us and we have now built a strong understanding of clicker training that we have been able to apply successfully to other aspects of Bramble's training! He always follows up each training session with notes to remind us how to execute and develop each exercise, and with extra material for us to read offline. Our experience of working with Sean has been great and we highly recommend him.
Saira Choudry – Camberwell - Walking Client
Sean has been fantastic with our French Bulldog, and in particular we really value his patience, caring and perseverance with out dog when he has been having some challenges recently. As well as this, Sean is extremely reliable, trustworthy and has great communication skills.
Adam Duchateau – Camberwell - Training Client
We have been having trouble with our schnauzer Frank's loose lead walking, and Sean was an amazing help. The training techniques Sean showed us were all very clear and helpful!
We really appreciated how Sean established the clicker technique first before then very patiently demonstrating the loose lead steps.
I would absolutely recommend!
Gary Waspe – Brixton - Training Client
I was talking to a friend about needing some help with my new pup, Freddie. My friend recommended Sean - I contacted him about puppy training and he saw me very soon afterwards. I booked five training sessions with Sean which turned out to be for both me and Freddie – turns out we both had things to learn. We covered house training, socialising with other dogs and tackled the big puppy welcomes which were starting to involve a bit too much jumping and excitement. I’m so happy with the progress Freddie has made in just a few months. He’s a much easier dog to be around. Sean has also been very good at remote support between lessons on the couple of occasions it’s been needed. He’s very helpful and seems to really know his stuff. Freddie and I thank you very much.
Lucy Hastings – Stockwell - Walking Client
Sean is great! He is very professional, thorough and trustworthy. Most of all he is gentle and attentive with our lively cocker spaniel. They get on brilliantly. Sean is keen to help progress with training and has offered great advice. We highly recommend him.
Jackson Griggs – Camberwell - Training Client
Sean gave us the tools to finally master some of the commands we found difficult to teach our energetic little Dachshund. In addition to the great practical work he did with us at our home, Sean sends us regular tips and detailed information to help perfect the work we have been doing. I would fully recommend and look forward to more sessions with Sean!
Kirsten Barker – Camberwell - Walking Client
Sean is really professional (fully licensed and trained), super reliable and flexible as well. He’s a genuinely nice guy and Sasha loves going for walks with him. He gets the right balance of one on one time vs playtime with other dogs and works with us to reinforce any training. I love the walk updates and photos / videos shared.
