About five weeks ago their 11-year-old Jack Russell Lily stopped sleeping in the night.
Why Me?
CARE
Waiting times for dog behaviour help can often be much too long. I manage the number of active clients at any one time to ensure I am able to see new cases very promptly. I manage my time to give sufficient ongoing help to everyone on my list.
CHOICE
I offer different levels of friendly help including home consultations with ongoing support or distance help using video. I can offer simple single session with video recording or six weeks of help. I run a dedicated Facebook Group to help with your dogs’ behaviour issues
Many dog behaviour issues can be solved online
I get asked all the time, how can I work with you and your dog without even going to your house? In some cases it’s even better. In most cases it’s the best place to start. We can focus on the real issues without distractions. Help can be more immediate. I may be able to see things more clearly being that one step removed.
In reality, we’re focused on changing the emotions driving your dog’s behaviour, not just traditional training. I’m coaching and guiding the owners.
Online dog training. Professional dog behavior help.
Over One Thousand Case Stories
Aggression
She has become increasingly wary of people either coming to the door or walking past their garden, but this came to a head recently.

He hunts for fledglings and for adult birds in hedgerows. He then catches and eats them.
The lady sometimes manages to exchange for sardines but by this time, if the bird isn’t already dead, it will be badly injured and in pain. This troubles the lady as much as the harm eating the bird may do to the dog.
Aggression
River and Charlie are fighting. They have two black male Working Cockers. River and Indie are 13 and have been together since they were puppies. Charlie, a Springer cross is 10 joined the other two
Aggression
Kara is a generally jumpy dog, ready to react to any sudden noise or appearance. While we can work on children specifically and traffic, this will be a lot more successful if we can improve her general nervous state.
Aggression
The two dogs have been so close and now, unless it’s on a walk, they can’t look at one another without breaking into a fight
Who is Theo Stewart - Dog Behaviourist?
Over the past twenty years I have been to thousand of dogs and hundreds of different houses. I have met so many wonderful people, people who love their dogs and want to do the best for them.
More recently, I have included online consultations. They have proved so successful that with all my in-person visits, I start off with an online session.
My love for dogs started many years ago with a Rottweiler called Merlin and Magic, a German Shepherd. Back then, it was all about harsh dog training and ‘correcting’ the dog in order to force it to ‘obey’. Commands were sergeant major-style orders.
How different things are today. With all my subsequent learning and experience, I have proved beyond possible doubt that kind, positive, and force-free methods not only work best, but they ensure we feel comfortable on our relationship with our dog.
I am down to four dogs now. I can’t imagine a life without dogs.
