Demetae Dog Training

The life you imagined with your dog is still possible.

Your dog isn’t broken. And you haven’t failed.

No more reactivity. No more aggression. Just you and your dog, out living.

If walks have become something you brace yourself for, you already know the feeling. The scanning. The tight lead. The apologising. That drop in your stomach the second another dog appears round the corner.

And when a trigger does appear it’s barking, pulling, lunging, and suddenly you’re trying to hold it all together while everyone seems to be watching.

It’s exhausting. You love your dog. But right now you cannot trust them, and that changes everything about how you live and the life you’re able to give them.

Maybe you feel like you’ve run out of options. You’ve tried trainers, behaviourists, even medication, yet you’re still left avoiding the world and managing the behaviour.

This isn’t because your dog is a lost cause. It is because managing a problem was never going to resolve it.

IS THIS YOUR DOG?

You feel dread before you have even opened the front door

Walks mean whining, pulling, barking, lunging, or worse

You have lost control, and part of you is scared of what they might do next

You have paid trainers before and nothing actually changed

If you recognised your dog in that list, you are exactly who I help. And it is not a life sentence.

THIS IS DIFFERENT

Most training tries to manage the problem. Keep your distance. Stay under threshold. Carry treats forever. Distract, redirect, and hope for the best. Your dog never actually feels any differently about the thing that sets them off. They just learn to hold it together until they can’t.

I work the opposite way. I use focused, purposeful play to tap into your dog’s drive and what they were built to do, and I use that to genuinely change how they feel about their triggers. Not suppression. Not avoidance. A new way of seeing the world that actually lasts.

I don’t teach distraction, management, or avoidance. I build trustworthy dogs who love living their life with you.

WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU

A dog you can walk down a busy street. A dog who settles in a pub or a cafe while you have a coffee. A dog you can let off the lead on the beach and actually enjoy. Not a dog who is barely coping. A dog who is genuinely living, right alongside you.

Over 50 five-star reviews, and hundreds of dogs other people had written off.

“Our dog Luna was incredibly reactive, walks had become stressful and unpredictable… we can now walk her through busy towns, bring her into restaurants, and enjoy our local coastpath without any reactivity at all.”

“Lifesaver with our out of control German Shepherd pup…after just a couple of sessions, Rosie was like a completely different dog and is no longer reactive. We’re now enjoying off lead walks and play…can’t recommend enough after using other trainers in the past with no success!!”

“Before I found Miles, I had been to two different trainers. I had an extremely reactive collie who would lunge for and bark at dogs. She has gone from being reactive & always on lead, to being completely off lead at very busy beaches. I honestly didn’t think it was possible…my life is so much less stressful. She is finally living her best life.”

I would highly recommend 👌 Our small Jackawa was very reactive in the garden, constantly barking along the fence line when people were walking passed or parking up. He was barking and attempting to nip delivery drivers, post people and some visitors. It was relentless to the point we would have to put him in doors as we were concerned he would hurt someone and we couldnt enjoy being in the garden together. A friend recommend Demetae Dog Training and it was the BEST thing we did. Miles was excellent and patient and clearly understands dogs and spoke their language. He provided us with a easy use tool kit to support us and our dog. It has been a game changer and we will be forever thankful Now we can enjoy our gardne and not have to worry about the other stuff. Such a relief. We also completed some work on walking on and off the lead. Again a massive game changer. Our dog is so much happier, less nervous and is enjoying life a lot more!!!

Before I found Miles, I had been to two different dog trainers. I had an extremely reactive female collie who would lunge for and bark at other dogs. My dog just couldn’t be around other dogs in close proximity without going nuts. She was also very nervous around people and would occasionally bark at people but other dogs were the biggest problem. In the last 6 months with Miles, she has gone from being reactive towards other dogs and always being on lead, to being completely off lead at very busy beaches and having other dogs come up to her without going nuts. She is so much more relaxed in public places and she is finally living her best life. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for her to be able to be completely off lead around other dogs. My life is so much less stressful as well, which is just amazing. I cannot recommend Miles highly enough.

Life changing! We couldn’t get our rescue dog to settle which was causing problem behaviour we (or other trainers) didn’t know how to fix. One session with Miles and he taught us how to properly set boundaries, communicate and met her needs through play - that evening we put the strategy into practice and she settled perfectly on the sofa and has done ever since. We also couldn’t let her off lead because of an insanely high prey drive. Now after two more sessions with Miles our dog is loving her off leash walks and recall isn’t a problem. She is an all round happier and more fulfilled dog and our lives are so much less stressful so we can actually enjoy owning a big energetic dog. Miles is worth every penny and the six hour round trip to go and see him!

Miles did wonders for my puppy, he put us onto the right path and helped to rectify issues that were creeping in. We may need future sessions when my puppy gets to adulthood but for now my puppy is happier and is responding positively to the training techniques Miles taught me - I would 100% recommend Miles to anyone looking for a dog trainer

I can’t recommend Demetae Dog Training highly enough! After meeting several dog trainers in the past, I can confidently say that Demetae is the best. They equipped me with effective tools to address my giant dog’s behavior and training needs. This has not only improved our training sessions but also enhanced the quality of our time together. I feel more reassured and empowered as a dog owner. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs, look no further!

Miles is awesome! He has taught me to teach my dog how to go from a reactive and scared girl, who barked at EVERYTHING she saw and feared everyone, into a confident, more independent and fun-loving little lady who loves being out and about now, showing no fear! Miles uses play to teach dogs that the world is fun and not scary. He has been our 4th or 5th trainer (including some ‘well known’ trainers) and he has, by far, been the only one who has managed to teach me how to approach my girls reactivity and fear in a fun, non-oppressive manner. It absolutely gives me joy to see her now enjoying her life the way she should be and I am so grateful to Miles for his patience, clear instructions and being available for advice when needed. My girl can live her life now thanks to you. From myself and Raven, we are both very grateful. Highly, highly recommended!

I was struggling with my whippet Piggy being reactive to other dogs Living near the beach where there are always lots of dogs was making life difficult From the first session with Miles I felt happier and more confident with my handling situations I can now have her off lead in lots of places around other dogs and minimal sessions with Miles has improved lots of her behaviour beyond recognition Miles is an expert in his field of dog training and is very patient and easy going I would highly recommend using him.

Miles is a very knowledgeable, patient trainer who utilises building a relationship and play with aiding training / behaviour modification. His assistant Bodhi 🐶 was very helpful in teaching our lively pup some manners in social situations. I would highly recommend his services, and would definitely book in again if issues arise in the future.
