“Gareth is like a dog whisperer - so calm, nurturing and reassuring. His knowledge of dog behaviour is fantastic.”
“it was clear from the first meeting that Gareth has fantastic knowledge/skills when it comes to dogs and especially bigger breeds!”
“he answers questions but gives us a deep explanation as to why our dog does or acts a certain way”
“He's built a good relationship with Lola, moving at her pace, and reading her body language to support her as needed”
“Ricky is extremely reactive and hates men, however he took to Gareth straight away”
“Having a huge dog I found it difficult to find someone who would accept him and be happy to take him on.”

What's it about?
Bruno, 14 months. Pulling on the lead.
Gareth started Pablo's in Worcester in 2019. He has spent seven years walking mixed groups of dogs every working day, and three years teaching training classes.
He is best known for two kinds of dog: the big ones other people are wary of, and the nervous ones who need someone to slow down. Pablo's calls it being a dog advocate. You are on your dog's side first, and the training follows from there.
“We've noticed a big improvement in Rue's confidence since walking with Gareth”
Something else on your mind? Message Pablo's on Facebook.
For most everyday problems, yes. Training is mostly coaching you, and a call lets Gareth watch you and your dog at home, where the behaviour actually happens, without a stranger in the room changing how your dog acts. Where video isn't the right tool, he'll tell you.
A phone or tablet, something to prop it against, your dog's lead and a pocket of treats. If the problem happens outdoors, send a short clip beforehand so Gareth can see it.
Gareth founded Pablo's in Worcester in 2019. He holds an APDT Foundation qualification, with seven years of professional group walking and three years of class training behind him. He is DBS checked, first aid trained and insured.
The opposite. Larger breeds are a specialism. Rottweilers, Dobermanns, mastiffs and Cane Corsos are regulars on Pablo's walks, and Gareth is used to coaching owners whose dog outweighs them.
Say so when you register or on your first call. Serious aggression needs in-person help from a behaviourist, often with your vet involved. Gareth will be straight with you and point you in the right direction.
No. Calls work from anywhere in the UK. If you are local, Pablo's also runs group walks in secure fields and in-person sessions across Worcestershire.
Soon. The app is being finished now. Pre-register and you'll be the first to hear, with an exclusive discount when it opens.
