Welcome! My name is Philippe. I am a professional dog trainer based in Cardiff. I have many years of experience and can offer a wide portfolio of training and behavioural techniques to help you overcome many common and not so common problems.
Ring today on 07745 527708 to find out for yourself how l can help you.
We need to remember that our dogs are highly intelligent and if we are clear and consistent with them then they understand quickly what we want them to do, after that it is all about willpower!!
All Sizes and Ages
It doesn’t matter if your dog is a big loveable lump or a small but perfectly formed bundle of energy l will work with your dog (or dogs) individually and as a member of the ‘family pack’. Dog behaviour and psychology is common to all our four legged companions.
Tailored Services
During the assessment session of our first meeting, the key issues that you want to work on will be identified and a training programme that fits your needs will be put in place, unique to you and your dog/s, unique to your home and where your dogs spend time outside the house.
Will Travel to You
All assessment, discussion and training will take place where you and your dog/s live. This means I can both observe real behaviour in real time and lay down templates for good behaviour in the home environment. The training will take place in the local environment, or where you normally walk/socialise your dogs, again so that behaviour can be corrected on home territory.

Examples of Common Problems
We do like to think our dog is completely unique, and of course they are in their own way, but like people, dogs often develop the same problems and I have listed just a few here to give you an idea of how I will help.
‘I have given up using the hoover… he just barks and jumps around it and tries to bite the brush!!’
I will be able to sort this problem out on the first visit, it’s not magic, it’s just knowing the right technique and for us as owners to use it constantly…
It’s a nightmare having visitors, she jumps up at them, won’t get out of the way and friends are a bit fed up with getting covered in dog hair and dribble before they can even sit down!!'
‘I only take my dog for a walk at certain hours because of his aggression tendencies and his constant barking!!’
‘He drags me all the time and off lead he does not come back!!’
Familiar problems that can be turned around with the right techniques demonstrated and put in place by me and on-going homework for us as owners until the new behaviour becomes second nature.
Dog Training Service 1
Package
This service is delivered through a one hour visit. During the visit, I will make an assessment of your dog/s and work with you to help correct some of the common behavioural issues in the home, for example:
You will be given clear and easy to follow ‘homework’ that will keep the desired behaviour on track and I will always be happy to offer further help and advice.
Dog Training Service 2
Obedience Training
When negative behaviour or specific training needs are greater, an assessment will be made and a structured programme will be put together and delivered on a weekly basis to suit your dog’s needs.
We will work together to lay the foundations of obedience and confidence, that are the hallmarks of a happy and safe dog.
A well trained dog will give you a pleasurable companion.

I would highly recommend Philippe following an excellent spell of personal training with our West Highland Terrier puppy Holly. Holly responded immediately to Philippe on his first home visit and was extremely supportive in helping to set some house roles for her and to also develop ours and other family members confidence and competence in handling her to be responsive also. He is highly knowledgeable and professional, flexible and always available to discuss progress. Holly has progressed massively since in terms of her behaviour in house and on walks and also with other dogs thanks to Philippe?s style to incorporate his own dogs to support the training! A really personable training experience. Thank you Philippe!

Phillipe had quite a challenge working with my two rescue Doberman’s who joined the family a year apart and who had very different behaviour challenges. He has been brilliant and worked with them individually and both together. I have seen such a change in both their behaviour and particularly the confidence of the male who spent the whole of his two years life in kennels before coming to live with me. I cant recommend Phillipe highly enough, once you have met with him and he has started working with your dog you will feel the same way.

My 3 disobedient dogs immediately responded to Philippe on his first visit. I am now able to take a calm enjoyable walk with them and feel confident to let them free knowing they will return to me. This makes 3 happier dogs and owner.I highly recommend Philippe as our local "dog whisperer".

I would highly recommend Philippe. As soon as he met my 5 month old puppy, he had her immediately under his spell! Philippe was able to train her to be a happy, obedient member of our family. He also helped me to be a responsible dog owner. After finishing our sessions, he is available on the phone at any time if I have any problems.
