Who we are

Hi, I’m Lewis — founder and trainer at Direction Dog Training.

I’ve been working with dogs for over 30 years. In that time, I’ve trained everything from stubborn pups to serious protection dogs, and I’ve learned that no two dogs — or owners — are the same.

My approach is simple: practical, real-world training that actually works in your everyday life. I focus on building calm, well-balanced dogs and confident owners through clear communication, structure, and consistency.

Whether you're dealing with behavioural issues like reactivity or aggression, want to improve general obedience, or you're interested in home protection training — I bring the training to you, wherever you are on the Tweed Coast and surrounds.

I don’t believe in quick fixes or gimmicks. Just honest, tailored training built on decades of experience — and a genuine love for helping dogs (and their people) live better lives together.
