Steve is a self-employed dog trainer/behaviourist

He completed thirty years exemplary Police Service, culminating in his last seven years as a Home Office Accredited Instructor at the Metropolitan Police Dog Training Establishment at Keston in Kent. As an instructor was responsible for the training of a variety of breeds for numerous disciplines, including patrol dogs, explosive and narcotic search dogs.

He competed successfully with both of his German shepherd dogs at national police dog trials and civilian working trials and with his police dog Yorrick was the Metropolitan Police champion handler for three consecutive years.

He retired from the police in 2001 and has since been employed all over the world as a recognised authority on dog training. Contracts have resulted in Steve travelling to Europe, the Middle East and South Africa to evaluate training methods.

He is currently engaged in training and working search dogs for major public events including Premiership football, Grand Prix's at Silverstone and exhibitions at Earls Court.

His passion for dogs is reflected in his enthusiasm for his pet dog club which he founded in 1990. He is solely responsible for the training and this is reflected in the improvement of both dogs and their owners over the six week courses.
