Watch What Happened.

Before Training

Marco was so reactive he couldn't pass another dog without lunging. Two previous trainers had already failed. It had been suggested that he was actually put to sleep.

After Training

"It's completely changed our lives. Walks are no longer stressful — they're something we both enjoy."

— Laura, owner of Marco · German Shepherd

Before Training

Rhea was super reactive to other dogs — every walk was a battle. Isabel was at her wit's end and didn't know where to turn.

After Training

"We are absolutely flabbergasted in the best way."

— Isabel, owner of Rhea · Dog Reactivity

Before Training

Mark was taking Otis out at 10pm to the quietest spots just to avoid other dogs. Busy parks, shopping centres, and normal life were off the table.

After Training

"This course is amongst the best money I've ever spent. 10/10. I cannot recommend Thomas highly enough."

— Mark, owner of Otis · Golden Retriever

Does any of this sound familiar?

Every day you wait, the behaviour gets more ingrained. Most owners don't realise how close they are to the point of no return.

You're planning every walk around avoiding other dogs — choosing routes, crossing roads, checking ahead.

You're out at 5am or 10pm just to get a peaceful walk without running into anyone.

Your dog loses the plot the second they spot another dog — brain completely offline.

Delivery drivers, visitors, or the doorbell sends your dog into a frenzy.

You've given up on pubs, cafes, beaches, camping, and holidays with your dog.

You've already tried a trainer (or two) and the real problems are still there.

You feel guilty that your dog isn't living the life you imagined.

You and your partner are arguing about whose turn it is to deal with the dog.

The Common Misconception

Most people believe the answer is more training — stronger obedience, more socialisation, or finding that one magic treat. But here's the truth: for a reactive dog, piling on more obedience without addressing the root cause is like trying to fix a leaking pipe by shouting at the water. It doesn't just fail to work — it often makes the problem much, much worse.

Real Stories. Real Results.

These were people exactly where you are right now — skeptical, exhausted, and ready to give up. Here's what happened next.

Before Training

Over 6½ years, Janet had tried in-person trainers, online trainers, and animal behaviourists — spending thousands with no lasting result. Bryn's resource guarding had become a serious problem and the family were at their wit's end.

After Training

"The changes have been nothing short of spectacular. We now have a happy, chilled dog and are able to live a normal life again."

— Janet, owner of Bryn · Cockapoo

Before Training

Sky was so reactive that walks were a real struggle — she even caused Donna a back injury. Donna honestly still thought Sky was beyond help.

After Training

"Sky is now fully trained off lead with 100% recall. My six-year-old daughter can walk her — something that would have been absolutely unimaginable before."

— Donna, owner of Sky · Staffy

Before Training

Sid was a rescue dog with all-round behaviour issues — pulling, ignoring commands, and making every walk a battle. Oliver had tried other approaches with no lasting result.

After Training

"Although we signed up for lead control, Sid's behaviour in all aspects of life improved massively. It is worth every penny."

— Oliver, owner of Sid · Rescue Dog

The 14-Day Transformation Programme — Northern Ireland

A fully bespoke, structured programme — not a group class, not a one-off session. Real results that stick.

💰 Small deposit secures your place. Full payment only when you're happy with the results.
PRE

Pre-Programme

Success starts before we begin. You'll receive specific homework to prepare you and your dog, ensuring you hit the ground running from minute one. This preparation is key to maximising your 14-day transformation.

01

Session 1: Foundation

We assess your dog, set your goals, and get started immediately. You'll learn the core skills and tools needed to set you up for success. No wasted time — just straight to work. You'll leave with your bespoke plan and first homework tasks.

02

Session 2: Controlled Setup

We build on the foundations and work directly around your dog's specific triggers in a controlled environment. Your dog is learning fast. WhatsApp support and video check-ins keep the momentum going between sessions.

03

Session 3: Resocialisation

We lock in the progress and begin resocialisation work. This is often the turning point where owners see their dogs doing things they never thought possible. The results are becoming real and lasting.

04

Session 4: Group Real-World Proofing

The final session is held at a local park with 4–5 other dogs at the same stage. We proof everything in the real world — other dogs, people, distractions, your dog's specific triggers — so the training truly sticks.

+

Throughout: Full Support

24/7 WhatsApp support, video check-ins, and homework tasks between every session. You're never left guessing. Thomas is with you every step of the way for the full 14 days.

Still Not Convinced?

These are people who had tried everything — other trainers, online courses, animal behaviourists. They were done. Then they found this programme.

Before Training

After trying a few other avenues with very little success, Michelle reached out. She had recently moved into her husband's childhood home and needed the whole family to be able to visit — but Ollie's reactivity at home made that impossible.

After Training

"Ollie can now have people in the house with no reactivity. When people came to visit we were so overwhelmed and stressed — now it's like we have a different dog. He truly is a miracle worker."

— Michelle, owner of Ollie · Reactivity at Home

Before Training

Fergus was reactive and a real struggle to walk — something the family genuinely dreaded. His obedience at home wasn't great either. Every walk had become stressful, and he had actually run through the front door trying to get to another dog outside.

After Training

"Walks are now enjoyable, relaxed, and something we genuinely look forward to. So many people have stopped to remark how obedient and well-behaved he is. It has genuinely changed our lives."

— Fergus's owner · Reactivity

Before Training

Ruby lost her mum (Roxi) in September and lost her confidence in everything — people, other dogs, the world. She became so reactive that Laura stopped taking her near main roads for fear of seeing another dog.

After Training

"I never thought before Christmas I would see the day I could walk in the castle gardens with Ruby, let alone on my own. Each week wee Ruby's confidence just builds and builds."

— Laura & Raymond, owners of Ruby · Labrador

This Is NOT For You If...

I only work with owners who are ready to commit. If any of these apply, this programme isn't the right fit.

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 15–20 minutes of daily practice.

You believe your dog is a "lost cause" — it's not, but this mindset won't get results.

You're just looking for the cheapest option available.

You think the problem will eventually solve itself if you just wait long enough.

You're not prepared to follow the programme and trust the process.

This IS For You If...

Your dog's pulling, reactivity, or wildness is making daily life stressful.

You're ready to be actively involved and practice consistently.

You want your life back — pubs, cafes, beaches, holidays, guests over.

You've already tried other trainers and it hasn't fully worked.

You're committed to making it work, whether you raised them or rescued them.

You see this as an investment in years of happiness with your dog.

Thomas McCoubrey

McCoubrey K9 Services · Northern Ireland

Meet Thomas McCoubrey

I wasn't always a dog trainer. I started out just like you — completely lost with my own dog. She didn't listen, 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." It didn't work. In fact, it made things worse.

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 natural drives, not fighting them. And it worked.

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.

Laura Robinson

"Someone suggested putting Marco to sleep. Thomas gave him his life back. Walks are no longer stressful — they're something we both enjoy. It's completely changed our lives."

N

Niamh Wood

"Our lives were not our own, we were miserable. When you have a dog with aggression, you feel shame — but Thomas never made us feel like we did anything wrong. We have our lives back now."

J

Janet Lloyd-Baker

"We lived with most of the curtains and blinds closed because Bryn would react to any movement outside. The changes have been nothing short of spectacular. We can live a normal life again."

D

Donna Cassley

"I honestly still thought Sky was beyond help. Now she has 100% recall off lead, and my six-year-old daughter can walk her — something that would have been absolutely unimaginable before."

M

Mark Wilson

"We were taking Otis out late at night to the quietest places to avoid other dogs. Now we can take him to the busiest parks and shopping centres. Best money I've ever spent. 10/10."

B

Beckah Shankly

"I had Lennie and my cat living separately for almost a year. Both can now relax in the same room without chaos kicking off — something I didn't think was possible."

Cold Hard Facts.

No empty promises. Just proven results.

Simple as that. Your investment is completely risk-free.

How the Deposit Model Works

Your Questions, Answered

What if it doesn't work for my dog?
I'm confident in my method, which is why I offer a simple guarantee: if you put in the work and we don't meet the goals we set within 14 days, I will continue working with you for free until we do.
Do I have to be in Northern Ireland?
Not at all. While I offer in-person sessions in Northern Ireland, my online programme is available to anyone, anywhere in the world. It follows the exact same 14-day structure — 3 one-to-one sessions via video call, a final group proofing session, WhatsApp support, video check-ins, and homework tasks throughout.
How does the deposit work?
A small deposit secures your place on the programme. You only pay the balance at the end of the 14 days, when you're happy with the results. If we haven't met the goals we set together, I continue working with you for free. Your investment is completely risk-free.
I've already been to a trainer and it didn't work — why would this be different?
This is the most common thing I hear. Most trainers focus on obedience — teaching your dog to sit, stay, and heel in a calm, controlled environment. What I do is behaviour work: understanding why your dog reacts the way they do and changing it at the root, so the results hold up in the real world — not just in a training field.
My dog is reactive to both other dogs AND people — can you help with both?
Yes, absolutely. Reactivity to other dogs and reactivity to people are both things I work with regularly. The 14-day programme is fully bespoke to your dog's specific triggers, so whether it's dogs on lead, people at the door, or both — we'll address it directly.
