Meet the Team

Hi I'm Steph, and I'm a Canine Behaviourist and Dog Trainer. 

I have more than 10 years experience working with thousands of dogs and their caregivers, with a  huge range of behaviour concerns and training goals. I'm here to help you with anything from complex behavioural problems through to foundation skills puppy training.  

 I started my formal journey to dog training and behaviour in 2016, qualifying  in Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine) and securing ABTC and TCBTS accreditation as an Animal Training Instructor.  

I undertake continued, evidenced professional development, maintaining membership with the most rigorous and well-respected welfare-centered dog training organisations in the UK. I'm passionate about animal welfare and it's core to everything I do. 

  Hi, I'm Nate one of the Trainers here at RV Canine Services.

When you first get in touch, I'll often be the person you speak to, helping you find the right service for you and your dog. As a dog owner myself, I share Steph's passion for welfare-centred training and helping owners build stronger relationships with their dogs.

I bring 10 years of military experience, have previously run a successful fitness coaching business, and have spent years leading teams in both corporate and shop-floor environments. Throughout my career, coaching, communication and helping people achieve their goals have always been at the heart of what I do.

If we need to learn a little more about your dog or your training goals, we can arrange a free 15-minute chat with Steph to ensure you get the best possible start.

At RV Canine Services, we're committed to providing a personal, supportive experience from your first enquiry through to the completion of your training journey and I'm always here to help if you have any questions.  

We firmly believe that dogs are part of the family. 

There is no one rule fits all training. Every dog, caregiver and household is different and has different needs. We'll help without judgement or criticism, experienced in finding effective management and training solutions to a wide range of behaviour and training concerns. 

Reward-based techniques are the focus of what we do, developing new behaviors and skills, while setting boundaries in a gentle and effective way. Our training considers your dogs stage of development, diet, health and history for a whole dog approach. 

We believe that training should be enjoyable for dogs and their owners and our methods reflect this belief, keeping everyone's comfort and safety at the forefront. 

Questions on how we work? Get in touch and we'll be happy to answer!
