Storm Freestone
Owner & Dog Behaviourist
Thousands of dog owners have turned to Storm in moments of confusion, frustration, and emotional exhaustion. When reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or disconnect had begun to define their relationship with their dog. His work is built for those turning points.
Storm doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions or distant consultancy. Instead, he provides specialised hands-on facilitation, training, and coaching. Working directly with both dogs and their people, depending on what each case truly calls for. Some dogs need practical training. Some owners need deeper coaching. Many need both. Storm reads the dynamic and responds with what’s most effective, never a one-size-fits-all plan.
His method blends Positive Reinforcement, Counter Conditioning, and Desensitisation with Cognitive Coaching. A powerful framework that supports the owner’s mindset and emotional clarity, creating consistency and calm across the relationship. It’s a whole-picture approach that addresses the root cause, not just the visible behaviour.
Obedience training is available when it’s needed, but the core of Storm’s work goes deeper: it’s about transforming patterns, resolving emotional triggers, and helping both dog and human move forward with trust and confidence.
You might have heard Storm on Cape Talk or CCFM Radio, or read his insights in News24, Business Insider, or Infurmation. His work is recognised, but more importantly, it’s trusted — by thousands across South Africa.
Storm’s areas of focus include aggression (including idiopathic cases), reactivity, anxiety, fear-based behaviour, separation or isolation distress, poor socialisation, and general obedience when appropriate. His mission is to help you rebuild the bond, restore calm, and create lasting change, on both ends of the lead.
What Our Clients Have To Say
''I am so glad that I found Storm, and I highly recommend him. He gave us some excellent tips that has already made a big difference in one day of practise. We feel so confident and at ease after his visit.
Thank you so much Splendid K9!''
Stephanie Van Gelderen
''I was gobsmacked at the change in Puppy. She no longer charges up to other dogs aggressively barking. Her fear has been quelled. Thank you SO much Storm!''
Elloise Du Toit
''Storm was wonderful with Max! He clearly knew what he was doing, and had such a great understanding of dog behavior. We saw a change in Max immediately during the session, and now feel confident going forward. We have been following Storm's advice and see progress already. Storm was very reasonably priced, especially because he is honest and told us that we don't need more sessions, rather we just need repetition in what he taught us. I highly recommend Splendid K9!''
Madeline Johnson
''I asked Storm to help me with my very reactive dog. Storm was very calm and patient with my dog Rylie and by the end of the hour my dog was calm and relaxed. I am very grateful for your help. Thank you Storm.''
