Reactive & High-Drive Dog Training in Gloucestershire
Your dog pulls, ignores recall, or kicks off at every dog on the pavement. I fix that. 1-2-1, in the real-world places you actually walk, across Gloucestershire.
Who is this for?
You've got a dog that drags you down the street, blanks you the second another dog appears, or turns every walk into something you manage instead of enjoy. You've tried the treats. The group classes. YouTube at midnight. Maybe a trainer who told you to just be more interesting than a squirrel. Nothing's stuck.
That's who I work with. Reactive dogs. High-drive dogs. The ones other trainers couldn't crack. Family pets and working breeds both, but mostly ordinary owners who just want a dog they can take anywhere without the dread
Who's behind it
I'm Jay. Ex-British Army K9 handler, over 10 years training protection and detection dogs to operational standard, where a mistake wasn't an option. I left the military to fix pet dogs in Gloucestershire. Mostly reactive. Mostly the cases other people had given up on.
I'm a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. Balanced, fair methods built on how dogs actually learn, not treat-chasing and not force-free hoping it goes right on the day. One clear system the dog understands and you can run yourself.
Where I train
I cover Gloucestershire: Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury, and the Forest of Dean. Central Gloucester or the surrounding villages, we train in the real world. That's where the problems happen, so that's where we sort them.
High-drive breeds are my specialism: German Shepherds, Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, Rottweilers. But I'll take any dog that's reactive, pulling, or ignoring you. Loose lead, recall in distractions, calm past other dogs.
Why Severnside K9?
Military-Grade Experience 🎖️
Over 10 years training working dogs where clarity and control weren't optional. That's how I train pet dogs now. Precise, calm, and built to hold up under real pressure, not just in a quiet training field.
Pet and Working Dogs Welcome 🐕
From family pets to high-drive working breeds, I know how to get the best out of a dog whatever its breed, background, or history. Reactive, nervous, or written off as a lost cause. That's my patch.
Certified & Ethical ✓
IACP member. I use balanced training tailored to the dog in front of me. Rewarding what's right, and being clear about what's wrong. Both sides of the coin, because a dog that only ever hears "good" never learns where the line is.
Results You Can Rely On 🎯
I don't just teach sits and downs. I fix behaviour, how your dog reads a trigger, recovers, and settles. Calm dog, confident owner, progress you see in weeks. Backed by a full refund guarantee.
Ready to fix this?
If your dog pulls, won't recall, or reacts on walks, book a call. Fifteen minutes. I'll ask about your dog, tell you straight whether I can help, and if it's a fit we'll get you booked. If it's not, I'll tell you that too.
