Your dog isn’t broken. And you haven’t failed.
Life with your dog probably isn’t what you imagined it would be.
What should be enjoyable, walks, adventures, simply being out together, can feel like something you have to prepare yourself for.
You find yourself constantly thinking ahead, worrying about what might happen, and feeling like you’re one difficult moment away from losing control.
It’s exhausting and overwhelming to feel like you’ve tried everything, yet your dog’s behaviour is still restricting your life together, limiting the places you can go, the things you can do, and the experiences you hoped to share.
WHO I AM
I’m Miles from Demetae Dog Training. I’m Pembrokeshire’s Reactivity and Aggression Resolution Coach. This is all I do. Day in, day out, I rehabilitate dogs who bark, lunge and lose control on walks, dogs with serious aggression and complicated histories, and dogs showing dangerous behaviour in the home. Including dogs other professionals had labelled unfixable, or recommended for behavioural euthanasia.
After more than 50 five-star reviews and hundreds of cases, from German Shepherds on their fifth trainer, to collies recommended for euthanasia, to lurchers losing their minds at a dog half a mile away, one thing is always the same. The owners aren’t failing. They’ve been handed management strategies for a problem that needed resolving. And the dogs aren’t broken. They’ve just never been given a clear job, a real outlet for what they were built to do, or a fair way to understand what’s expected of them.
WHY I WORK THE WAY I DO
Early on I realised the standard approach was missing the point. If all you do is suppress the behaviour, manage the distance, distract with food, or avoid the world, the dog never actually feels differently about the trigger. They just hold it together until they can’t.
Everything changed for me when I stopped asking how do I stop this behaviour, and started asking how does this dog see the world, and what does he need in order to see it differently. That question is what my whole approach is built on. Dogs give us loyalty and companionship without condition. Our job is to give them the best life we can in return.
A huge part of how I do that comes from my other passion, dog sport. I train my own dogs in Mondioring, which has taught me how to channel drive, work with highly aroused dogs, and build trust, communication, and cooperation under pressure. These are the same skills that allow me to help highly driven, reactive, and aggressive dogs make genuine change. No gimmicks, no formulas, no cookie-cutter techniques. Every dog is an individual. When a dog finally understands what’s being asked, and has a better outlet than reactivity, you get deep, lasting change.
WHAT WORKING WITH ME IS LIKE
I don’t teach distraction, management or avoidance. I build trustworthy dogs who love living their life with you. It’s structured and it’s clear. We start by properly assessing your dog and understanding what’s actually driving the behaviour, then we build the foundations for real change. From there we prepare your dog for real life, not a controlled training bubble, but the world you actually want to share with them.
I guide you through every step. What to do, when to do it, and why it matters, in plain English. You are never left to figure it out on your own. Once you’re booked in, I’m all in on getting you the best result possible. You’ll go from feeling restricted by your dog’s behaviour to having the freedom and confidence to enjoy life together.
WHO I’M BEST FOR
I work with committed owners who want real change. You’ll get the most from this if you’re willing to put the training in, change some of your habits, and want a long-term transformation rather than a quick fix. My programmes aren’t built for people looking for a shortcut, minimal involvement, or someone else to fix the dog while nothing else changes. But if you want a dog you can genuinely rely on, and you’re ready to become the owner that dog needs, we’ll get on well.
WHAT I STAND BY
- Welfare first. Every dog deserves to be fulfilled doing what they were built for. Fulfilment comes before obedience.
- Clarity over conflict. When a dog knows what to do instead of reacting, they succeed.
- Root cause, not masking. We resolve what’s driving the behaviour. We don’t paper over it with permanent restrictions.
- No half measures. I don’t give up on dogs, and I don’t do half measures.
- Honesty and consistency. I’ll tell you what you need to hear to get results, and I’ll hold you to the structure that creates freedom.
