Ready to Start Your Journey?
Hi, I’m Steph, the trainer behind Onward Dog Training. My journey with dogs started with Shadow, my beloved Lab x Collie, and continues with Mazikeen, my energetic Collie.
Over the years, my passion for dog training has grown, leading me into trick training and agility, two areas that bring both mental and physical enrichment to my dog and me!
I am continuously expanding my knowledge to provide the best techniques and advice to my clients.
My goal is to help you and your dog move forward—together. Whether you're working on basic manners, problem behaviors, or fun tricks, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s take the next step onward to a happier, more confident partnership with your dog!
Committed to Canine Excellence
At Onward Dog Training, we’re committed to delivering a high-quality, compassionate training experience throughout Maidstone and across Kent. Our approach is grounded in kind, effective, and non-punitive methods that foster a positive learning environment for both dogs and their humans.
We design our training programmes to be structured yet adaptable—tailored to your dog’s individual pace and learning style. With a strong emphasis on preparation and prevention, we aim to set dogs up for success by rewarding choices that lead to real-life results.
Our Philosophy:
- Prepare for, prevent, and manage challenges before they arise
- Set your dog up for success from day one
- Follow your dog’s learning speed
- Train for a situation—not in the situation
By staying true to these values, we help build trust, confidence, and long-lasting partnerships between dogs and their people.
We offer both in-home and outdoor training across Kent, adapting each session to suit your lifestyle and your dog’s unique needs. With a focus on clear communication, consistency, and reward-based techniques, we’re here to help your dog develop positive habits and thrive in everyday life.
