My name is John, and I am passionate about helping dogs and their owners build strong, lifelong bonds through dog-centric, force-free training methods. 

Recently, I decided to take my passion for dogs to the next level by enrolling on the PACT Level 4 Canine Training Instructor course. Recognised by the ABTC, which means meeting all of the educational requirements to be eligible to join the ABTC register as an ATI. The ABTC register is the only list of dog trainers recommended by the RSPCA, Blue Cross and the Dogs Trust.

This journey was inspired by my own experiences with Woody, our spirited Cockapoo puppy. Training Woody was a rollercoaster ride filled with moments of joy and frustration, but it ultimately ignited a deep passion in me for dog training that I never knew existed. 

At Aspire Dog Training, I believe in using ethical, force-free training methods that put the dogs welfare at the heart of everything I do. My approach is grounded in the latest scientific research and modern techniques, ensuring that your dog receives the best possible care and training.  

I am fascinated by the natural instincts and behaviours of dogs and have found that tapping into these instincts, such as through scent work and play can provide meaningful and satisfying outlets for their needs. This not only makes training more successful but also results in happier, content and well-adjusted dogs. 

In addition to my coursework, I am proud to volunteer as a coach with Dogs Trust, where I continue to learn and apply up-to-date, scientifically backed methods. My enthusiasm, adaptability, and commitment to ongoing education make me a dedicated and effective trainer, despite my relatively recent entry into the field. 

At Aspire Dog Training, my mission is to help you enjoy every moment with your pup and create those lifelong bonds that bring so much joy to our lives. Whether you are looking for help and support with training or simply want to deepen your connection with your dog, I am here to support you every step of the way. 

Thank you for considering Aspire Dog Training. Let's embark on this journey together and make every moment with your dog truly enjoyable!
