DOG TO PEOPLE REACTIVITY
Behaviour support for dogs who bark, lunge and snap at people
Covering Surrey, West Sussex & parts of Kent.
Life with a dog who struggles around people is not only frustrating but it can be isolating too.
Do you dread seeing people on your walk due to your dog’s barking and lunging? Have you stopped having people over due to your dog’s unpredictable behaviour & aggression? Are you tired of unhelpful comments from people like ‘Just train your dog!’?
I’ve been there myself
My previous dog, a Belgian Shepherd named Tywin, was rescued from a breeder and struggled around people due the abuse he’d suffered previously. I dreaded having people over due to his barking and I used to get a knot in my stomach every time we’d encounter a stranger on our walks. Thankfully, we were able to resolve his issues and he became my work dog for the rest of his life, even helping kids get over their fear of dogs!
It was this experience and the challenges that I navigated that led to me creating the ‘Beyond Behaviour Programme’, to give owners the guidance and support I wish I’d had when I was struggling with my own dog. It’s a holistic & force-free programme, designed to help owners understand the root cause(s) of their dog’s behaviour towards people and achieve lasting behaviour change with a tailored behaviour pathway.
CASE STUDY
Bentley, the anxious Belgian Malinois
When I started working with Bentley, he was struggling with multiple aspects of day to day life;
-
Very anxious around other dogs after being attacked.
-
Struggling to settle around visitors
-
Pulling on the lead
-
Nervous around traffic
-
Struggles with impulsivity & frustration
Over 4 months, we were able to reduce Bentley's anxiety and give him specific skills to cope with being around traffic. We used Tywin to help him adjust to being around other dogs and created a predictable routine for visitors.
"I would like to thank Anthony for helping me and my dog Bentley. He's not stressed, more relaxed and happier."
BEYOND BEHAVIOUR PROGRAMME
How It Works
This is the programme I wished existed when I was struggling with my own dog.
It’s structured and comprehensive, but never one-size-fits-all, designed to identify the root causes of your dog’s behaviour and guide you through lasting, meaningful change.

Why choose me?
Not only am I an experienced dog behaviourist but I also have first had experience of life with an anxious dog.
Tywin was a Belgian Shepherd, who we rescued at 5 months of age. Sadly, he'd learnt early on that people weren't very nice and was very wary of people in general. Fortunately, we were able to work through everything and he became much more relaxed around people.
This experience showed me just how important a holistic approach to resolving dog behavioural issues is and how stressful life with an unpredictable dog can be.
