Using The Power Of Play To Make Every

Dog A Happy Well-Behaved Dog

Welcome to VP Canine Education. As a dog trainer, I believe in prioritising owner education and dog welfare above all else! My promise to you as the owner; is 100% honesty and transparency in your education, and 100% commitment to your dog and it’s wellbeing. Although we have training programmes in place suitable for a variety of dogs covering all aspects of bad, weird and wonderful behaviour, we will always adapt these to the dog in front of us! There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to dog training, and we are aware of this fact.


Your Education

At VP Canine Education we believe that lasting results come from providing education to owners on the subjects they need! During your time training with us, we’ll cover topics such as dog body language, toilet training, breed specific behaviours and so much more. Our aim here is to not only give you the relevant information, but also to teach you how to implement what you learn to achieve your own personal goals with your dog.

Your Dogs Welfare

Dogs are living beings, each with their own individual character, traits and needs. In order to have a strong, cooperative relationship with a dog, you’ll need to have trust, boundaries, a communication system, fulfilment and clarity in place. We call these ‘the 5 pillars of a well-behaved dog’. We’ll make sure these pillars exist in your dog’s life and show you how to maintain them throughout your training journey.
