KEEPING YOUR DOGS HAPPY & CONFIDENT SINCE 2015

Established in 2015, Pirate Dog is a small, family-run business run by Nik Taylor who is dedicated to fostering positive behaviour in dogs and puppies. As a fully qualified dog behaviourist serving all of Devon and Cornwall, my approach revolves around utilising gentle, force-free techniques alongside skill teaching to modify behaviour and enhance the overall quality of the relationship between pets and their owners. I work with pet dogs of all breeds and ages, extending expert advice and services to support pet owners. Home visits are available throughout Devon and Cornwall for bespoke behavioural consultations and training.


In addition to this, I am an experienced pet photographer, passionate about capturing the true personality of your furry companion by using our mobile studio! We also provide comprehensive 1-2-1 dog walking and sitting services, including regular walks and drop-in. Contact me to discuss your pet’s behaviour and the kind of support it needs.

SOME OF MY REVIEWS FROM GOOGLE, YELL AND FACEBOOK.

Nik is one of the nicest, most knowledgable and patient people I know. He was an instant calming influence on my dog and me! I would recommend his services 100%. He also provides great value for money, giving 1 to 1 care a negligible amount more than a regular dog walker who takes 6 dogs at the same time, with the added bonus of training thrown in and behaviour advice! Your dog will love him!
