STOP DREADING
EVERY WALK.
In five weeks, your dog will see another dog on the street and look at you instead of exploding. That's not a hope — it's what happens when you fix the behaviour, not just manage the symptoms.
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.
HOW THE
PROGRAMME WORKS
Five weeks. Five one-to-one sessions. All in your environment — not a training hall. We start in controlled settings and progressively increase the pressure until your dog holds it together in the situations that used to set them off.
CONTROLLED FOUNDATION
We start in a controlled environment where I can see exactly how your dog responds to triggers. I build the communication between you and your dog from the ground up — calm leash handling, engagement, and the groundwork that everything else sits on. No treats, no toys. You become the reward.
BUILDING UNDER PRESSURE
Once the foundation is solid, we start increasing the environmental pressure. Busier parks, more distractions, closer proximity to other dogs. Each session is structured so your dog learns to stay neutral rather than react. We fix whatever comes up in real-time.
REAL-WORLD EXPOSURE
Towns, cafes, pubs, busy streets — the places you've been avoiding. Your dog learns to hold it together in the environments that actually matter to your life. This is where the real confidence comes from, for both of you.
CALM, NEUTRAL, BALANCED
By the end, your dog is calm, neutral, and balanced no matter the environment. Treats and toys become redundant because you are the main reward — the leader your dog actually needs. We make sure you know how to maintain everything so the results hold long after the programme ends.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU
Walks that are actually relaxing — not a white-knuckle experience
A dog that sees another dog and looks at you instead of lunging
The confidence to handle whatever comes up, in any environment
Your dog back as part of family life — not locked away when visitors arrive
No dependence on treats or toys — your dog listens because they want to
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
Your dog lunges, barks, or snaps at other dogs, people, or both
You've tried other trainers and the behaviour came back or got worse
You own a German Shepherd, Malinois, Rottweiler, or another working/guardian breed
You're willing to put the work in between sessions — this isn't a spectator sport
You want a dog that's calm and balanced, not just one that performs for treats
You're based in Tamworth or the wider Midlands (or willing to travel)
THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF…
You're looking for a group class — this is one-to-one only
You want a quick fix with no effort on your part
You're not willing to change how you handle your dog
You just need basic obedience (sit, stay, recall) — my Obedience & Engagement programme is a better fit
You're after treat-based training — that's not how I work
Client Results
OWNERS WHO WERE
EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE
"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."
Dog went from biting to calm walks
Jacqui
Lichfield
"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."
Shifted perspective in one session
Chris
Tamworth
"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."
Vast improvement after other trainers failed
Sophie
Tamworth
"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

COMMON QUESTIONS
Book a free consultation and I'll tell you. If your dog is lunging, barking, snapping, or showing aggression toward other dogs or people, this is almost certainly the right fit. If they just need basic obedience, I'll point you toward my Obedience & Engagement programme instead. I'm not going to sell you something you don't need.
I work with all breeds, but the majority of dogs I see are German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, and other working and guardian breeds. These dogs need a handler who understands drive and threshold — not someone who's going to wave treats at them and hope for the best. The programme is tailored to your dog's breed, temperament, and specific triggers.
Because they create dependency, not real behaviour change. A dog that only listens when there's a treat in your hand hasn't actually learned anything — they've learned to do a transaction. My approach makes you the reward. Your dog follows your lead because they trust you and see you as their leader, not because they're chasing a biscuit.
Most trainers teach obedience — sit, stay, heel. That's fine if your dog just needs manners. But if your dog is reactive or aggressive, obedience isn't the answer. Behaviour is. I work with the root cause of the reactivity, not just the symptoms. And I do it in the real world, not in a sterile training environment where everything is controlled.
You don't just get dropped. There's a post-programme follow-up to make sure the results are holding, and you'll still have WhatsApp access to me. If something comes up three months down the line, message me. I'd rather spend five minutes helping you maintain the progress than have you undo weeks of work.
If you attend all sessions, complete the homework, and don't see a marked improvement — I'll give you an additional session at no charge. If you're still not satisfied after that, I'll refund your investment in full. I can offer this because in every case I've taken on, the dog has improved.
Yes. A significant number of the dogs I work with have bitten before. That's exactly the kind of case this programme is designed for. The muzzle in the equipment package isn't there for show — it's a practical tool that keeps everyone safe while we do the work.
READY TO SORT THIS OUT?
The consultation is free. The conversation is honest. And if I think I can help, I'll tell you exactly what that looks like.
