About Me
Hi, I'm Nick, the founder of South London Dog Training. I offer a fresh and unique approach to dog behaviour and training, built on years of experience as a psychotherapist and a genuine love for dogs.
My Story
About ten years ago, I adopted Spencer, a rescue from Battersea.
Like many rescue dogs, Spencer had his challenges, but through working with him, I discovered a natural understanding of dogs and their needs.
This experience sparked my journey into learning more about dog behaviour and deepening my connection with them. Since then, I've been dedicated to helping other dog owners nurture their dogs' potential, so they can be the best they can be.
My Professional Background.
Before becoming a dog trainer, I spent over 15 years as a psychotherapist. This background gives me a unique insight into why owners struggle with their dogs.
I tackle behavioural issues in dogs while simultaneously supporting their owners' mental health and emotional needs.
My Approach.
My dual approach allows me to help with challenges like separation anxiety, aggression, or training difficulties from both the canine and human perspectives
Why Training Matters
Why Training Matters
We may unknowingly encourage unwanted dog behaviours by transferring our own anxieties and fears. As owners, it’s our responsibility to provide the right training for them to thrive.
Dogs are sensitive to us, and with the right guidance, we can build a healthier bond.
My goal is to help you understand this and create a calmer, more rewarding relationship with your dog.
