KEEPING YOUR DOGS HAPPY AND HEALTHY
Established in 2015, Pirate Dog is a small, family-run business by Nik Taylor (BCCSDip.AdvCanBhv) 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 dogs and their owners. I work with dogs of all breeds and ages, extending expert advice and services to support dog 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 my mobile studio! I also provide comprehensive 1-2-1 dog walking, giving regular walks and drop-in services for all pets. Contact me to discuss your dog's behaviour and the support they need.

SOME OF MY REVIEWS
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! - K LEE
Nik is an amazing photographer & very professional.
He was great with both my dogs (Little Pix & Albie), taking his time while rewarding them with treats & a fuss. He really captured both their personalities in the pictures and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I 100% recommend Nik to anyone wanting lovely photos of their four legged friends. Thank-you Nik. - J HURRELL
Nik truly understands dogs and dogs love him. Nik helped me understand why my dog was behaving badly, he helped me change that behaviour and my dog and I are now best friends. I am so pleased I found Nik. - CAL H
Nick was absolutely fantastic with my nervous rottie x rescue who can sometimes react if she’s unsure, he was calm and very positive, she was so relaxed that she took treats from him with no problem ( which she often won’t do ) and even had a play with him! Overall it was a wonderful experience, he is great with dogs and clearly dogs love him! It was a new experience for me and Maiva but it was super chilled out and fun! Also very convenient it being in a mobile studio so I could pop out of work and get them done!
Can’t wait to see the results! Highly recommend. - A BYRNE
