Helping you build a better bond with your dog
Hi, I'm Sebastian — the trainer behind Empire Dogs. For years, I've worked with dog owners from all walks of life to help them understand, train, and reconnect with their dogs. What started as a passion in my teenage years has now become a full-time commitment to transforming canine behaviour and improving the lives of both dogs and their humans.
Raised in Manchester, I grew up surrounded by working dogs, especially German Shepherds. My family was involved in breeding, so dogs were always a part of daily life. But it was during my teens that I really became fascinated by dog behaviour — particularly the "why" behind the way dogs act.
That curiosity led me down the path of professional training, and it's been a rewarding journey ever since. Today, at Empire Dogs, I bring that background and passion into every training session.
I work as a balanced trainer, which means I believe in holding dogs accountable for unwanted behaviours, while reinforcing and rewarding the good ones. It's not about being harsh — it's about being fair, clear, and consistent.
Over the years, I've supported owners through some tough behavioural challenges. I know how isolating it can feel to walk a reactive dog. The good news? With the right approach and guidance, real change is possible — and we see it happen every day.
At Empire Dogs, our focus is on results that last. We don't just train dogs — we educate owners, build confidence, and create harmony at home. Every dog is different, so we tailor our methods to suit the individual.
