About Us

Hello, my name is Paul Gregson and I am a dog behaviourist.

I am also a father to 4 beautiful children and a husband to my loving wife Hayley. Myself and Hayley co run our business together with myself working with our clients and their dogs to rehabilitate and train while Hayley runs our office including calls and enquiries.

My career began unknowingly 13 years ago when I began rescuing and fostering dogs in need which then lead to me reigniting a passion which began as a child. Whilst having dogs in rescue as you can imagine many had behaviour issues, its common for rescue dogs to be returned due to these problems so I began working with them in order to train and rehabilitate these issues before moving into a family home. Moving forward it became very clear to me that although I had put a lot of effort into rehabilitation the new owners were making the same mistakes that the dogs first owners had made which would mean the dogs can easily revert back.

This then led to me not just rehabilitating dogs but also training people, this would include the family adopting rescue dogs and the other foster carers. My approach has always been straight from the heart to help the dogs to live a happy balanced life. My aim is to share my knowledge in dog psychology to fulfil their needs to create not just a well trained dog but more importantly a well balanced dog creating harmony for all.

In 2015 I underwent spine surgery after an injury 10 years prior, this meant my career in construction came to an end but it was truly a blessing in disguise as this allowed me to start a fulltime career as a dog behaviourist. I could now not just help rescue dogs but also every day owners with their beloved dogs too.

We have been running our business since then and it has grown into a small but successful company. We pride ourselves as a family run business who aim to help other families and create happy endings for all, we have all dealt with large corporations and we never plan to work in that way as stated previously we are one family helping another. The service we offer is bespoke and has a personal touch as every dog and family are unique, we understand people and situations can vary and so do we.

we have been blessed to work with clients from all around the world working in many professions including high end celebrities, police forces, armed forces and many others. I only mention this so if you are reading this wondering if we can help I'm pretty sure we can. We have not just worked with dogs in a home setting we have worked in offices, army barracks, boats and many other places. Given we have clients worldwide and some travel whatever your situation we can also offer virtual consultations. Although at times I haven’t met the dog my advice has been able to create a solution by guiding and teaching you what you need to do.

What Are My Methods?

My knowledge and methods are not your average methods. Whilst most take a dog training approach which is command based training this doesn’t tend to work when trying to eliminate an unwanted behaviour as dog training is an approach to create behaviour and skills. I have spent many years studying dogs, their behaviour their language and how they live naturally. An important note to add is most behavioural issues stem from lack of fulfilment, understanding and miscommunication. Whilst most say “the dog doesn’t listen” I see a dog that doesn’t understand what you want causing frustration for both parties. This will be a thing of the past once I teach you all you need to know to eliminate these unwanted issues.

The techniques used will be specific to your dog and will depend on many factors, depending on are they nervous, confident or insecure also energy factors meaning low medium or high energy. Breeds can sometimes play a part but although different breeds have traits and skills they all have the same psychology.

Why Choose Us?

If you are reading this and decide we are the right people for you then please don’t hesitate to give us a call or use our enquiry form and we will get back to you. I very much look forward to helping you and your dog achieve balance and harmony.
