Stop dreading walks. Start enjoying your dog again.
A proven 30-day programme for pet dog owners in Northern Ireland who are tired of their dog pulling, lunging, and not listening.
I help you train your dog by working with their natural instincts, not against them. No more relying on endless treats or harsh corrections that don't work. Just a clear, step-by-step plan to get the well-behaved dog you've always wanted.
Watch: How I Transform Dogs in 30 Days
See exactly how my proven method works and why it gets results where other approaches fail.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Your arm aches from your dog constantly pulling on the lead.
You feel that spike of anxiety when you see another dog approaching.
You can't have guests over without locking the dog away because of the jumping and barking.
You have to walk at strange times or in specific places just to avoid other people.
You feel embarrassed by your dog's behaviour and guilty that you can't give them a better life.
You've tried other trainers and endless YouTube videos, but nothing has stuck.
If you're nodding along, you're not alone. Most of my clients come to me feeling completely defeated. They've been told to use smellier treats or different harnesses, or even to just be more of a "master" to their dog. When none of it works, they blame themselves. The truth is, it's not your fault. You just haven't been given the right tools for the job.
The 30-Day Transformation Programme
My approach is different. I don't just put a plaster on the problem. I teach you the fundamental skills to fix the relationship with your dog, build real motivation, and set clear boundaries. We work with your dog's natural drives—like their desire to chase, hunt, or play—and use them as powerful tools in our training. This isn't about endless drills or becoming a boring robot. It's about understanding why your dog does what it does, and showing them a better way to behave.
Over four weeks, I'll give you a bespoke plan that fits your dog and your lifestyle. Through a combination of 1-2-1 sessions (in-person or online) and 24/7 support on WhatsApp, we'll tackle the root cause of the issues. You'll learn the skills, you'll see the progress, and the results will stick long after our 30 days are over.
Build Real Motivation
I'll show you how to get your dog to want to listen to you, without needing a pocket full of treats.
Give Their Drives an Outlet
We'll channel your dog's energy into structured games and activities, so they're calmer and more focused on walks.
Set Clear Boundaries
Your dog will learn a clear 'no' and understand what behaviour is and isn't acceptable, from jumping on guests to pulling on the lead.
Proof in the Real World
We'll take the training out into the real world, ensuring your dog can handle busy parks, passing dogs, and visitors at home.
Enjoy Calm Walks and a Relaxed Dog
Picture walking your dog on a loose lead, calmly passing other dogs and people without a second thought.
Imagine having friends over for coffee, with your dog settled peacefully at your feet.

Is This Programme Right For You?
This IS for you if:
You have a pet dog whose pulling, reactivity, or general wildness is making life stressful.
You're ready to be actively involved and practice for 15-20 minutes a day.
You want to enjoy your dog again – to take them to cafes, on holidays, and have guests over without worry.
You're done with quick fixes that don't last and want a permanent solution.
You see training as an investment in years of happiness with your dog.
This is NOT for you if:
You're looking for a "magic wand" or someone to "fix" your dog for you (a board and train).
You're not willing to put in the daily practice required to see real change.
You believe your dog is a "lost cause" or that their behaviour can't be changed.
You're just looking for the cheapest option available.
You think the problem will eventually solve itself if you just wait long enough.

Meet Thomas McCoubrey
I wasn't always a dog trainer. In fact, I started out just like you: completely lost with my own dog. She didn't listen to me, she pulled towards every dog she saw, and walks were a constant battle. I felt like I'd failed her.
I tried everything. The harnesses, the fancy treats, the YouTube tutorials. I was even told to be her "master" and show her who was boss. It didn't work. In fact, it made things worse. I knew there had to be a better way that didn't involve bribing her with food or bullying her into submission.
So, I went back to basics. I studied dog behaviour, motivation, and the core principles of how dogs learn. I developed my own method based on working with her natural drives, not fighting them. And it worked. For the first time, she was calm, focused, and happy to work with me. I finally had the dog I always dreamed of.
I started McCoubrey K9 Services because I don't want other owners to go through the same struggle I did. I'll give you the clear, straightforward plan I wish I'd had, so you can get the amazing life with your dog that you both deserve.

"Our dogs were nervous, barely toilet trained and aggressive towards anyone coming to the house. Thomas' knowledge is top notch. Our dogs have massively improved to the point they are crate trained, much better toilet trained, and living in much more harmony."
Mark Arnold
Owner of Coco & Claude (Chihuahuas)
Crate trained, toilet trained, living in harmony with cats and visitors
"Freddie learned to walk perfectly on his lead, walk to heel off lead, learned recall, a place command, sit, down, middle among other things. We are so happy with how well behaved Freddie is now and everytime we have him out people comment on how good he is."
Gillian Matthews
Owner of Freddie, a Golden Retriever
Perfect lead walking, heel off-lead, multiple commands mastered
"Remote training was far better because of daily check-ins. We loved that it's completely bespoke to you and your dog. Oscar's biting issues went away and we were able to focus on recall, relaxing in public, and heel command."
