About
Yes! Dog Behaviour Training covers the counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire, as well as solving dog training issues further afield.
Offering Dog Behaviour solutions with guidance on helping you and your dog for the long term.
Yes! can also provide training for general obedience, training classes for puppy, adolescent and adult dogs, plus advice on natural feeding products and accessories to aid you along the way.
My approach is to give you the tools and confidence to take control and build a happy and rewarding relationship with your dog.
Please get in touch detailing any issues you would like to resolve with your dog and I will get back to you with a plan.
We use a blend of tested methods designed to solve problems long term with results seen almost instantly.
No harsh training techniques need to be used, but rather sensible solutions that actually get results.

Meet the Trainer
Simon Johnson
Master Dog Trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers (GoDT), Qualified Higher Certificate in Canine Behaviour Practice and Aggression Studies with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training (CIDBT), Advanced Professional Dog Training Instructor (CIDBT), Master Professional Dog Training Instructor (GoDT) & accredited by CFBA Behaviourist and Master Dog Trainer Keith Fallon.
Simon has been training dogs professionally for many years now and with hundreds of cases under his belt has experienced all sorts of behavioural challenges and worked with owners to find a suitable solution.
He has a catalogue of tried and tested solutions to hand, and yet continues to grow his knowledge by studying with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training, one of the industry’s best known educational institutions with courses held over a full week at the Kennel Club building to ensure top-level qualifications.
Simon has received much positive feedback 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 may 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.
