SOUND FAMILIAR?

Every walk feels like a battle. You're scanning for other dogs before you've even left the driveway.

Your arms ache from being dragged around by a dog that's twice as strong as you expected.

You've stopped walking certain routes because you know there'll be other dogs there.

Friends and family have started making comments. Some have stopped visiting.

You've tried YouTube videos, Facebook groups, even another trainer — and nothing stuck.

You love your dog, but honestly? Some days you wonder if you made the right choice getting them.

THE 5-WEEK BEHAVIOUR
TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME

Most trainers teach obedience. Sit, stay, heel — the basics. That's fine if your dog just needs manners. But if your dog is lunging at other dogs, barking at strangers, or showing aggression, obedience isn't the answer. Behaviour is.

My programme works with the root cause of your dog's reactivity — not just the symptoms. Over five weeks of one-to-one sessions in real environments, I'll teach both you and your dog how to handle triggers with clarity and calm.

VIEW ALL SERVICES
01

ASSESSMENT

I meet you and your dog in your environment. I watch how you interact, identify the triggers, and build a clear picture of what's actually going on — not what you think is going on.

02

FOUNDATION

We build the basics of communication between you and your dog. Calm leash handling, engagement, and the groundwork that everything else sits on.

03

EXPOSURE

Controlled, structured exposure to the things that set your dog off. Real environments, real triggers — but managed properly so your dog learns to stay neutral.

04

REAL LIFE

We take everything into the real world. Walks where you're not crossing the road to avoid other dogs. Situations where your dog stays calm because they've been taught how.

A dog that sees another dog and looks at you instead of exploding

Confidence that you can handle any situation that comes up

Such a great experience with Dan. Our dog used to bite and we couldn't even take her on a walk, which was very stressful. Since working with Dan we have seen a huge difference — our dog is much calmer and we are now able to take her for a walk, which is honestly something we never thought we would see.

I can't recommend Dan at Aesir Training K9 highly enough. We went to him with what I thought was a reactive dog, and within a single session things completely shifted. The biggest realisation was that the issue wasn't really the dog at all — it was me. He's calm, knowledgeable, and very straight to the point.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have a very reactive dog — he has previously bitten, doesn't like people and can be reactive to dogs. We had been to other trainers and took their advice and his behaviour got worse. My dog's behaviour has vastly improved using the advice from Dan and the 1-2-1 training sessions.

We thought we'd made a mistake getting a young pup but Dan sorted all the issues we had with Charlie — he's now the dog we always imagined having and is such a huge part of our family. Thank you so much Dan — I can't thank you enough!

I will 100% recommend Dan to all my friends and everyone that needs a dog trainer — he's absolutely saved me with my dog. She was always pulling and trying to lunge at people and other dogs. She's now so happy on walks and even goes off lead!

Now walks off lead — lunging completely resolved

Dan has been absolutely incredible with our dog Buddy. He came to us as a very reactive, anxious rescue and within a few sessions we saw a massive difference. Dan's approach is calm, clear, and actually works. We can now walk him past other dogs without the usual chaos. Can't recommend him enough.

Brilliant trainer. Very knowledgeable and patient. Our GSD was reactive to everything — other dogs, bikes, joggers. After working with Dan he's a completely different dog on the lead. The techniques Dan taught us actually stick because he explains the why behind everything.

NOT ALL TRAINING IS THE SAME

TYPICAL TRAINERS

Group classes where your reactive dog is surrounded by triggers

Treat-based methods that fall apart the moment the treats run out

One-size-fits-all programmes that don't account for your dog's specific issues

Focus on obedience commands rather than the underlying behaviour

No follow-up support once the sessions end

AESIR TRAINING K9

One-to-one sessions so your dog gets my full attention in controlled environments

Balanced training that creates lasting behaviour change, not temporary compliance

Personalised behaviour plans built around your dog's specific triggers and history

Focus on the root cause — why your dog reacts, not just stopping the symptoms

Ongoing WhatsApp and video call support so you're never left guessing

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You're committed to putting in the work between sessions — this isn't a magic fix

You want real, lasting behaviour change, not a quick patch

You're willing to change how you handle your dog, even if it feels uncomfortable at first

You've tried other things and they haven't worked — you're ready for something different

You want a trainer who'll be honest with you, even when it's not what you want to hear

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF...

You're looking for someone to wave a magic wand — behaviour change takes effort from both of us

You're not willing to follow through on the training plan at home

You want a purely treat-based approach — I use balanced methods

You're after a group class experience — I only work one-to-one

You expect results overnight — real change takes a structured programme

ALL OF THIS WITHOUT...

Without endless treat-based drills that stop working the second the treats run out

Without shouting, yanking, or using fear to get compliance

Without putting your reactive dog in a group class surrounded by their triggers

Without spending hours watching contradicting YouTube videos at 2am

Without needing a degree in canine psychology to understand what you're supposed to do

THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR

WITHOUT AESIR

Every walk is a gamble — you never know when your dog will kick off

You cross the road every time you see another dog coming

Family members are nervous around your dog

You've stopped taking your dog to places you used to enjoy

You feel embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly a bit hopeless

WITH AESIR

Walks are predictable and calm — you actually look forward to them

Your dog sees another dog and checks in with you instead of reacting

Visitors can come to your house without you locking the dog away

You take your dog to the pub, the park, family gatherings — wherever you want

You feel confident, in control, and proud of the dog you've got

MEET DAN

I started exactly where you are. I got a Belgian Malinois called Thor — and within weeks, I was completely out of my depth. He was reactive, unpredictable, and honestly dangerous at times. I tried everything. Different trainers, different methods, different equipment. Nothing worked long-term.

Eventually, we had to make the hardest decision and rehome Thor into a working role where he could thrive. That experience broke me a bit, if I'm honest. But it also lit a fire. I decided that no one else should have to go through what I went through — feeling helpless, embarrassed, and like you've failed your dog.

So I spent years studying, training, and working with the most difficult dogs I could find. Dogs with bite histories. Dogs that other trainers had given up on. Large, powerful breeds that most people wouldn't go near. I built a system that actually works — not just in a training hall, but in the real world where it matters.

That's what Aesir Training K9 is. It's the training I wish existed when I needed it. And if you're reading this feeling the way I felt back then — I get it. Properly. Let's sort it out.
