ABOUT Real World Dog Training
Preparing your dog for the real world.
At Real World Dog Training, we believe dogs should be prepared for everyday life, not just ideal situations. Dogs live in homes, spend time with families, encounter other dogs and people, and experience busy, unpredictable environments every day. That’s why our training is built around real world situations, helping dogs become calm, confident, and reliable wherever life takes them.
We focus on a balanced approach to training, using proven methods that combine positive reinforcement, including treats, toys, and praise, with fair, structured corrections to address unwanted behaviours while building a strong, respectful bond between dog and owner.
We offer a wide range of services and often blend different training approaches to achieve the best results for both the dog and their owner. Every dog is different, which is why we tailor our training to suit each dog’s personality, lifestyle, and environment. By focusing on clear communication, consistency, accountability, and understanding canine psychology, we help owners build stronger relationships with their dogs and create lasting results that work in the real world, not just relying solely on food rewards or unintentionally reinforcing unwanted behaviours.

What our clients say
Read the testimonials from our satisfied clients who have witnessed the positive transformation in their dogs through our training programs.
Steve came to visit me to help with my Kangal Raith. obviously with the size of him he was quite hard to handle on a walk and was also starting to show signs of dominance in the house towards us. Steve explained where we were going wrong and how to get some structure back with Raith needless to say we have seen a huge turnaround in his behaviour and attitude towards us making it a much happier and relaxed environment all-round .once again thank you to Steve and Real World Dog Training.
Alex
We had such a brilliant experience training with Steve. Willow used to be quite stubborn on the lead and easily distracted, but Steve was so patient and really took the time to understand her personality. He explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and gave us simple techniques that actually worked.
After just a few sessions, Willow became so much calmer and more responsive, and walks are now far more enjoyable. Steve made the whole experience feel relaxed and positive, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with.
I honestly can’t recommend Steve enough — we’re so pleased with Willow’s progress and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing help with their dog.
