We believe in your dog

Pro dog trainer

Do you find your furry friend isn’t the picture of perfect companionship? Pulling on the leash, excessive excitement, anxieties around other dogs, or separation issues can make owning a dog challenging.

We can help! Through games-based concept dog training, we address your dog’s deeper understanding and emotional responses, creating lasting solutions.

Puppy training and adolescent dogs

Our one to one puppy training looks at a wide range of different concepts from calmness, exciting recalls to having the confidence to ignore the events that don’t concern them. Due to the positive nature of this training it can start as early as 9 weeks. Please click here for more information.

Dog trainer including behaviour

Perfect for dogs with any training and behaviour needs including separation, aggression, anxiety, obedience, lead pulling and recall.

Initial Assessment: We begin by understanding your dog’s lifestyle, preferences, and any areas of concern with our questionnaire with any follow-up questions as needed
Tailored Training Plan: Based on the assessment, we identify usually 3 core skills and create a customised training plan.
Game-Based Learning: We utilise fun and engaging learning games teach our dog the skills and understanding they require.
Empowerment for You: The training session equips you with the knowledge and skills to continue teaching your dog.
Ongoing Support: You’ll receive a detailed handout summarising the session and offering additional resources.
All this for only £50 on our first session

Our dog training for rescue dogs is built on positive reinforcement, helping them build confidence and trust in their new life. We will be very happy to either offer our personalised one to one dog training or offer our all round training for every day living which follows the same course as our puppy course.

  Tom is very friendly and wants to give the right training. I’m going to train my Goldendoodle as per Toms ‘s advice and see how we get on. We should see a difference in 3 weeks if we keep to the training schedule. Thanks Tom for starting us off on the right track.

  Tom is a proverbial dog whisperer par excellence. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My Yorkie puppy, Tommy (both April 29, 2023), was very co-operative during Tom's sessions, while I learnt a great deal about dogs I didn't previously know! This has all been invaluable in understanding Tommy's behaviour, which has made training him a pleasure.

  What a blessing to find Tom to walk Toby our 9 year old Corgi. Such lovely updates & photos after every walk. Toby is happy so we are happy!

  We received absolute top one to one practical training from Tom at our house, focusing on calming control and disengagement to prevent excessive barking. Very informative, positive and loads of fun for both our dog Skye and us! Would highly recommend Tom to anyone.

  My dog was nervous due to not liking men so she was a bit timid but Thomas did know this and understood this and was very reasurring to me and my dog he had very good knowledge and understanding and he was very good at explaining things to me and making sure that I understood the instructions
I would highly recommend him if you would like/require a dog trainer

  Really great trainer. Easy to get on with, very clear, explained the rationale behind things, my dog settled very quickly with him, and started making progress almost immediately. Very pleased. Thank you.

  Absolutely brilliant, the training was easy to follow and worked really well. The dog walks really help as well and my boy loves it !

Tom is a natural dog trainer. He’s very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and takes a positive rewards based approach. My 7month old daschund responded brilliantly to him and the training. I now feel I know how to move forward with confidence. Tom listened to what I wanted to achieve and focussed on these points before providing thoughtful insight and tips on how to make Hector’s daily life more stimulating and fun. I learnt a lot and hopefully Hector did too! Would thoroughly recommend.

Tom really listened to the problems I was having with my 7 month old pup and he taught me so much on my first meeting and I really have noticed the difference already. This is the calmest my dog has ever been and I feel my dog will will just progress if I stick too what I’ve been taught today. Fantastic outcome so far and really would recommend Scentastic to all those dog owners who need help like I do training.

What is concept dog training

Imagine sitting kids in a candy store and expecting them to do algebra after one explanation!
First take the distraction away, then teach basic maths, make it fun. With time and patience they will get there.
Remember your teachers, those who taught you in a fair and calm manner, remember ones that treat you badly or didn’t enjoy their job. Those emotions are real just like how you the can learn in a positive and negative manner. Which teacher would you rather be?

This is what we do at Scentastic Dogs, we start by doing an assessment of the required skills and match from our diverse range of games ones that can be training in your own home that best suit you and your dog and are great fun for you and your family.

Get in touch today and we will get you real life results to bring back your dog owning dreams.
