Hello, I’m Steve Cummins founder of ‘Structured Dog’ 

I’ll show you how achievable it can be to have an exceptional dog, not by teaching endless tricks, but by mastering the fundamentals and doing the basics brilliantly. Strong foundations in calm behaviour, engagement, and reliability are what truly make a dog stand out, creating a companion who is welcome anywhere and remembered for all the right reasons.

Every dog is different, and every household is unique. Your training plan is tailored specifically to your dog, their individual challenges, and your lifestyle, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your daily routine. Progress should feel achievable and manageable, not stressful or overwhelming.

I understand how difficult it can feel when your dog’s behaviour leaves you feeling embarrassed, you’re unable to take them out at busy times and you’re worried about how others perceive you. You feel like you’re doing everything you can, yet nothing seems to work.

I have been in your shoes and know exactly how you feel and because of that, I do not judge. I listen, to understand your individual situation, and acknowledge how challenging this experience can be. 

My role is to coach and support you, identify what is truly happening with your dog, beneath the surface, and develop a bespoke behaviour training plan that gives you and your dog the best possible chance of success.

Professional, Qualified & Results‑Focused Support

I’m a highly motivated, results‑driven behaviour professional, my business is built entirely on the success of my clients and their dogs. Your progress matters, because your results are a direct reflection of the service I provide. This commitment ensures I will do everything possible to help you and your dog succeed.

I hold a Diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour and Training, alongside Canine First Aid and CPR certification and a Pet Services qualification, meaning you can be confident  your dog is always in experienced, knowledgeable, and safe hands.

My greatest qualification is a genuine dedication to helping people and their dogs live a calmer, happier life. Making a fundamental shift from reactive to reliable is not just my professional mission — it is what gives my work meaning and fulfillment.

Driven by Results, Inspired by Your Success

It’s your success stories and testimonials, like those you see on this site, that make all of this worthwhile. Knowing families can enjoy a calm life with their dogs is what drives me every day.

Thanks to you for trusting me with your journey. It’s your progress that keeps my service going.
