Correcting excess pulling on the lead with Hugo the Dalmatian. · 26 February 2012
Hugo is a typically over-friendly Dalmatian who has been overpowering his owners for many months. Walking him has become so bad that his owners are being dragged behind him as he heads off and his constant pulling makes walking him unbearable. As a youngster, Hugo was a pampered pup who was trained to a basic level but, as a [...]
Helping Scout the rescue German Shepherd with general dog training behavioural problems, Preston, Lancashire. · 15 February 2012
Scout is a young dog who hasn’t experienced much in his short life due to his previous owner using him as a stud dog and confining him to a small yard. He was in a rescue kennel for 2 months before he was fortunate enough to be re-homed with Courtney where he’s been living happily for the past [...]
Testimonial – Dog Training Amber the Springer Spaniel with serious recall problems. · 2 February 2012
I thought you should share in this moment. Amber off the lead, on the beach. With your help, we are steadily progressing and more importantly, Amber is a far happier dog. I can’t believe that prior to you coming for two house visits, this is the same dog that would disappear for 9 hours given [...]

I have been training with Damian for 4 months now and saw improvements from day one.

I have always [...]

Home dog behavioural visit with Ruby the Springer Spaniel to help with recall. · 18 January 2012
Ruby is owned by Lisa and her family and attends my weekly dog training class. As with many working Springer Spaniels Ruby has problems with recall whilst out in the fields and, after talking with Lisa it was clear that Ruby is allowed to pretty much do as she pleases. There is very little structure within the [...]
Monday Dog Training Classes at Oakhill Veterinary Centre, Preston, Lancashire. · 9 January 2012
The New Year has seen the start of my Beginners Dog Training Class at Oakhill Veterinary Centre on Monday evenings from 7pm – 8pm.

Dog aggression from a Cocker Spaniel. · 6 January 2012
Ian and Bernie contacted me after serious concerns over the aggression their 3 year old Golden Cocker Spaniel Oscar displayed towards other dogs.

Sibling behavioural problems with Oscar and Micky the Border Terriers. · 30 November 2011
When purchasing a dog it’s important to spend as much time research the breed. Dogs are pack animals and have a strong pack structure the behavioural traits of breed can vary significantly. It’s also important to remember that dogs are born into a pack structure and form a pack hierarchy very quickly, when we introduce [...]
Dog Training Testimonial for Jasper the Border Collie · 21 November 2011
I got Jasper a 3 year old border collie from a rescue centre, and called Damian in after one year due to the problems I had with him. Damian came to my home, and concluded after talking to me and seeing Jasper that he had become “top dog”. With work in the home, Jasper is [...]
Dog/Gundog training with George the German Shorthaired Pointer. · 4 November 2011
George is 7 years old and his owner Katie arranged to come and see me because of George’s behaviour towards customers who approach him when he’s at Katie’s pet shop. He can be a touch snarly and assertive at times and Katie also believes that he is fearful and nervous around men. We had a [...]
Dog behavioural problems with Oscar and Micky the Border Terriers. · 3 November 2011
These feisty 8 month old brothers belong to Claire, Jim and their son Jake and are beginning to dictate to their owners as well as being generally bad mannered when greeting visitors and pulling on their leads when on a walk which is why I received a call. Jim has owned dogs before but has experienced problems and doesn’t want [...]
