Sean was a great help with recall training for my 11month old mini Schnauzer. Two telephone consultations with clear and practical training steps followed up by 1 2 1 reinforcement. Very good result and I will certainly be back to Sean next time we have another training issue.

Sean is a great dog trainer. He was very patient and spent a long time getting to know our dog. His techniques worked brilliantly and the training was actually a lot quicker than I was expecting. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone with a new puppy, and in fact I have already done so! We will certainly also continue to see Sean for training refreshers for our dog as he did such a good job with him initially.

Sean was very kind and patient with us when training our English bulldog, it’s made a massive difference to her walks and it’s now more relaxed for all of us. Even 3 months on we’re noticing improvements so the techniques do work longer term as well

Amy McGinn - Streatham - Training Client

Sean is an excellent trainer. Thorough explanations and demonstrations. Milo responds really well to his training and we have very much enjoyed learning from Sean..

Lewis White - Southwark - Training Client

We reached out to Sean for help with our rescue dog who was struggling to settle. Sean was professional and offered great insight. We were surprised at how quickly his advice made changes in our 1 year old, with a happier and more relaxed dog within a month. Would highly recommend the services here for friendly, caring and expert support.

Sean is a very good and knowledgeable trainer who understands dog behaviour and motivation. He clearly explains how to gently and patiently change a dog, especially a puppy. I had very good results working with Sean. I highly recommend him..

I have a 4 month old Chow Chow puppy, and so I had 5 sessions with Sean to teach her the basics. With Sean’s help and advice, my stubborn, biting puppy learned how to sit, lay, play nicely, socialise and use the toilet outside. Sean not only taught my puppy, but he trained me to train her, and got me to understand the mind of my puppy better! Really recommend, he was very kind and encouraging!

WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Sean has absolutely revolutionised my life with a new puppy. He was there at all times to answer any questions or doubts and catered each lesson accordingly. Couldn’t recommend him more. Will definitely be booking more sessions in the next few months for the next steps!!

Maria Jevstafjeva - Tulse Hill - Training Client

We worked with Sean to help us handle the reactivity of our dog Benny. Sean gave us practical and easy to follow instructions which lead to noticeable progress within a couple of sessions. He also helped us to understand the realistic timescales for making progress. He was very supportive and he brought his own dog Charlie along to help us train our dog.

Sarah Elton - Peckham - Training Client

Sean was a brilliant help with our rescue pup, Pippin. He helped us understand our (recently arrived and terrified!) dog better, and establish fundamental techniques to build a strong bond and the foundations of obedience training. Sean always provides thougtful advice and practical solutions for every challenge we encountered- and his calm demeaner helped us relax and enjoy the process of training and living with our new arrival. We booked Sean for an inital 5 sessions, but plan to book more as our dog grows and develops.

Aidan Milan - Camberwell - Training Client

Sean is lovely and very knowledgable with our big bouncy Staffie rescue Chase, and he’s really helped us with our questions as first time dog owners/adopters. Chase is a big Sean fan too!

Georgina Hind - Clapham - Training Client

I worked with Sean on my 16 month old Labrador retriever that seemed to lose all his focus with me after his castration and also during the 'teenage phase'. He made a world of difference not only building up strong obedience skills with my dog, but also built up my confidence with the training. We struggled a lot with lead walking and eye contact (as he found the outside environment a lot more interesting than me) and after 4 sessions with Sean, it has improved noticeably well, he is a different dog on the lead, with little to no pulling, but also strong eye contact that allows him to walk to heal with me and block out environmental distractions - I would highly recommend!

Sean has been a game-changer for our puppy, Loki. We signed up for his 5-class puppy training package when Loki was just 3.5 months old, and it was a great decision.

What sets Sean apart is his personalised approach. Each session, he'd ask about our specific concerns, and then he'd provide tailored solutions and advice. Sean was always available to answer our questions and offer support, which was incredibly reassuring as first-time dog owners.

Sean's love for dogs is evident in how he interacts with them. Loki adores him and gets excited for training because he knows treats and fun are in store. Sean's non-judgmental, friendly demeanour made the learning process enjoyable and reassuring.

From crate training to puppy biting, Sean covered all the essentials. Thanks to his expertise, Loki is on his way to becoming a well-behaved pup.

We valued Sean's support so much so that we've asked him if he could help us with dog walking for Loki as well. His knowledge and dedication to dogs make him the best choice for all your pup's needs. We can't recommend Sean enough for his exceptional training and genuine love for dogs!

We’ve been working with Sean now for 5 sessions with my Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. I’ve owned dogs before and really enjoy the training process, but have never owned such a large and energetic breed, so I’ve been keen to make sure that she’s going to be impeccably trained. Sean has been amazing - each week, we’ve learned a series of really practical, easy to follow methods which are working wonders on our puppy. She’s listening to us, walking beautifully on her lead, and has all of her basic commands nailed already - it’s really much more than I expected at this stage. Sean follows up with notes after each session so we can continue to practice during the week until Sean’s next training session. We are so happy with her progress and we are going to keep on going with Sean for many months to come.

Peter Archdale - Clapham - Training Client

Sean worked with us and our puppy for 4 sessions over the course of a couple of months.  Sean is a very knowledgeable and friendly dog trainer who tailored his sessions to our (and our dog’s) needs.  We have seen good progress over this time and gained many useful tips and tricks, as well as a better understanding of dogs and how they learn.

Jenny Parker - Dulwich - Training Client

My toy poodle Ollie had 5 sessions with Sean. Ollie was always pleased to see Sean and this made for enjoyable sessions. He is now able to respond to all basic commands. I found the notes after each practical session that he sent very useful as it helped me to work through the training sessions with more confidence. Ollie has learnt a lot In these sessions and hopefully this will continue as he grows and matures into an adult dog. Thank you to Sean!

Mike Willgrass - Herne Hill - Training Client

Sean was fantastic with our puppy Ixtlan. Very patient and knowledgeable. Over the course of the sessions we felt much more confident in knowing how to train and have seen very quick results. Highly recommend.

Matthew Hopkins - Herne Hill - Training Client

We booked Sean for 5 sessions with our 1 year old Lab. Sean was very patient, listened to our concerns and issues and then tailored plans around that. He is very knowledgable - not only will he offer plans but he explains why he does such techniques. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone!

Mike Murphy O'Reilly - Brixton - Training Client

Sean has been a great trainer and a massive help for us and our dog. We had been struggling with our dog not walking properly for us and Sean really helped in teaching us techniques we can use on walks to get him walking properly. We've seen a great improvement in just a few short sessions. It's also been great having Sean as our regular Dog Walker to get updates and see how he's progressing. I'd highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for help with their dog.

Viren Swami - Nine Elms - Training Client

Sean has been an excellent puppy trainer for us. He is very patient and brings a wealth of knowledge in person, supplemented by his detailed written guides. After only a couple of sessions, our puppy has improved immensely in her training. We highly recommend Sean.

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.

Anna Derecka - Wandsworth - Training Client

It was great getting some professional advice on our puppy training from Sean. He gave us very practical tips that will definitely help us progress further and seems to have a great level of expertise.

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.

Jelena Boeffa - Southwark - Training Client

I am very grateful to Sean for helping me train my beagle puppy. I got a lot of great advice from Sean and great activities with my puppy. Sean was very patient with me and my indefatigable puppy. It was a pleasure to spend time with Sean and I highly recommend him as a dog trainer.  Thank you 🙏

Emma Cardoso - Borough - Training Client

Fantastic. Sean explains things very well and gives clear instructions. He was great with Max and is very personable. The guidance on recall was fantastic and I’m shocked how quickly Max improved on his recall. Thanks Sean!

Viv Slattery - Hampton Court - Training Client

Sean was highly responsive supportive and super knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviours. We were nervous about introducing our elderly very large deerhound to a new 8 week old poodle puppy and he guided us gently through the process after only two visits to a highly successful outcome. Also providing lots of advice for second dogs. We can not recommend Sean highly enough and will be staying in touch for advice in the future. Having proper professional expertise is so valuable for all dog owners.

Sammy Jo - Peckham - Training Client

Sean done some brilliant training with me and Dolly.   I love how honest he was by telling me where I was going right and wrong.  I would recommend him to anyone - he is so calm in what he does and he makes a person feel relaxed throughout the training session.  Thank you very much
Sam & Dolly

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.

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!”

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!”

Laura Griffin – Clapham - Training Client

Hollie and I really enjoy our training with Sean. He has a great affinity with dogs and is good with people too. He’s very knowledgeable and patient with both of us and explains things clearly. Through consistent application we’ve made great improvements with some tricky issues that we’ve had for a while (pulling on her lead, recall and jumping up). I also really like how Sean follows up each session with notes on what we covered and how to undertake each exercise – I found this super helpful, as it helps me remember what to do, but also means I can focus during the sessions, rather than loosing track whilst taking notes. Thanks, Sean!

Sophia Coalville – Dulwich - Training Client

We contacted Sean after getting our new puppy Gatsby to make sure his training got off to a good start.    From an early stage, Sean equipped us as new owners with the tools to train our dog in an effective and fun way.

Sean has been patient and listened to our concerns and our dog adores him.   The lessons with Sean are the highlight of the day.  When we have not quite understood something, Sean has shown great patience in his explanations and guiding us on how to perform exercises to maximise their effectiveness.

I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a dog trainer, and especially new puppy owners.  Sean really helped us get Gatsby's training off to a great start.

Cat Wiener – Camberwell - Training Client

Sean is reliable and fantastically patient with my very difficult dog - really appreciate the extra effort and training he has put in. Highly recommend.

Nivas Gallo – Camberwell - Training Client

I had a great experience with Sean, he is extremely professional and caring and I really trusted my dog Bumi into his care. He also helped me training Bumi in walking so it could be more enjoyable for both of us. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Lucy Hastings - Stockwell - Training 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.
