About
Dog behaviour is rarely about just one problem. It’s about understanding the dog’s behaviour as a whole – what they do in their home environment, the relationship they have with their owner, and how they then react in the outside world.
At YES! Dog Behaviour & Training, I take a practical, individual approach to helping owners understand their dogs and create lasting change.
With experience working with hundreds of behaviour cases and well over 1,000 dogs, I look beyond the behaviour you can see to understand one important thing: why is it happening in the first place?
Training is built around clear communication, calm guidance and consistency, giving you the confidence and practical tools to help your dog both at home and out in the real world.
Every dog is different. Every owner is different. So the training should be too.
We teach. We guide. We build trust.
Meet the Trainer
Simon Johnson
Registered Master Professional Dog Trainer
Having trained both dogs and owners professionally for over 8 years now, and with 100s of dog behaviour cases and well over 1000 dogs trained, Simon has experienced all manner of behavioural challenges.
From mild inconveniences like car anxiety to intentionally trained aggression towards people, suitable and realistic solutions have been found by working with the owners to better understand their dogs.
With a catalogue of tried and tested solutions to hand, he continues to grow his knowledge base by studying with one of the industry’s best-known educational institutions, ensuring top-level qualifications, and working closely with other experienced Canine Behaviourists.
Simon constantly receives positive feedback, both from Dog Behaviour Visits and the Class environment, and continually succeeds in helping dog owners where other methods have failed them.
He has also had his 5 minutes of fame on BBC Breakfast giving advice on certain issues with dogs that owners see every day.

” We can highly recommend Simon at YES! Dog Behaviour Training. He helped us so much with calming and training our new rescue dog, who was hyper, anxious and quite a handful. Simon first came to our house and gave us tips as to how to handle our dog barking at visitors. This worked almost straight away. Simon is patient and understanding and his training has had a very positive effect on her. He’s a natural with animals and our dog loves him.
He has really helped our dog a lot with her confidence in general with people and other dogs.
Thanks so much Simon! “

We can highly recommend Simon at YES! Dog Behaviour. He helped us so much with calming and training our new rescue dog, who was hyper, anxious and quite a handful. Simon first came to our house and gave us tips as to how to handle Coco’s barking at visitors. This worked almost straight away. Simon is patient and understanding and his training has had a very positive effect on her. He’s a natural with animals and our dog loves him.
We then attended Simon’s FUN utility sessions every Sunday which helped our dog a lot with her confidence in general with people and other dogs. She loves it.
Thanks so much Simon!
Debra
Hi Simon, she is a lot better – thank you.
She sleeps in her crate in the utility room at night and now eats all of her food when we tell her to.
She has stopped barking at people when they come in the house and she has responded well with the way we having been treating her and we will continue to use the techniques you advised.
Thank you again, it all seemed so simple when you explained it to us.
Chrissie
The session was really calm and organised and loads of fun. We worked methodically as a group and individually with our own puppy developing our training skills and partnerships. Super progress this week with walking to heal, sit, lie down, wait and recall – so satisfying!
Simon’s gentle manner, advice and tips are giving Betsy and I great confidence.
A really positive experience.
