Dark Star Dog Training
Reactivity towards other dogs or people, anxiety when left alone, guarding food or toys, or aggression that has crept in: these problems are stressful for everyone and they rarely fix themselves.
Jason is a qualified and accredited canine behaviourist with a Masters degree in human psychology, and a former police hostage and crisis negotiator. That mix helps him understand both the dog and the owner, and work out whether you are dealing with a training problem or a behavioural one.
He works with you to find the root cause, then puts a clear, science based plan in place that fits your home and routine.
Assessment and prices
Behavioural assessment: £180. This usually takes 2 to 4 hours and includes a written report and a behaviour modification training plan.
Follow-up sessions: £45 per hour.
We cover Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire area. Call or text Jason on 07735 551900, or email darkstar.dogtraining@gmail.com to talk about your dog.
Meet Our Team
At Dark Star Dog Training, we are a husband and wife team who are passionate about helping both dogs and their owners.
Led by Jason, a former police hostage and crisis negotiator, a qualified advanced canine behaviourist and trainer, with a Masters Degree in human psychology, our family team brings extensive experience working with various dog breeds. Liz also worked with the police and has extensive experience in working with people.
We are committed to providing personalised training programs tailored to your dog's specific needs and behaviours, ensuring a happy and well-trained companion for life.
As owners of three cocker spaniels, pet gundogs that work during the shooting season, we understand the complexities that dog ownership can bring. Whether you have a new puppy, need help with training or have a behavioural problem, we can help.
Where appropriate our dogs, Dodger, Pip and Fizz act as demonstrators or as distractions to help us to help you get the best out of your dog.
A percentage of our profits go towards police mental health support charities.
Jason was fabulous with our nervous 5 month old German Shepherd cross Dalmatian! The session really helped both me and my partner understand how to take control and be the confident leader that she needs.

Jason of Dark Star Dog Training takes real time to understand what issues you're struggling with. He adopts a calm and thorough approach when working with you and your dog. I highly recommend.

Thank you for this morning Jason. Truly eye opening! Having been daunted by the thought of puppy training, I’m now quite excited! The kids enjoy their exercises with him too! Lots to think about. Thank you. Mary and her cocker spaniel
