About

Meet Your Trainer

Oscar Senior, Third Generation Dog Trainer

A lifetime of dogs. A passion that continues.

My Story

I grew up in kennels, watching my grandfather and then my father work dogs every single day. By the time I could walk, I was learning how a dog thinks. Three generations on, that hands-on way of working is still the heart of everything we do.

My Approach

I keep it honest and practical. Clear communication, fair structure and plenty of reward. I'd rather show you what your dog is really telling you than sell you a quick fix that won't last.

Every Dog Matters

Whether it's a nervous rescue, a boisterous puppy or a working protection dog, every dog gets the same care and attention. No dog is a lost cause, and no owner should feel judged for asking for help.

"Dogs aren't just my profession — they've been my way of life."

First-time owner, older dog, or a behaviour you're struggling with? Get in touch — that's exactly what I'm here for.
