Dog training is an essential part of good and responsible animal care. The relationship between an animal and its owner is a unique connection. With College 4 Canines, you get the finest certified Dog Trainer to condition your pet for the behaviours you desire. My proven techniques and unique approach have helped pet owners across Northumberland train dogs just like yours. Contact me today to get started!

At College 4 Canines I understand that not every dog is suited to group sessions and that some dogs require a more personal touch towards training. I only promote positive force free training methods and adhere to the Kennel Club Code of Conduct. I also offer one on one sessions at the clients home and Dog Classes in Northumberland.

Our Services

What I Offer You and Your Pets

Perfect Puppy Classes

Do you have a puppy aged under 6 months and want them to grow into happy confident dogs?
Our Perfect Puppy Classes cover everything you and your puppy need to know to maximise success in training and to build a solid foundation before your pup hits adolescence.

Lifeskills Classes

In Lifeskills classes we train behaviours that can be incorporated into every day life using force free and reward based training.
Lifeskills classes are outdoor dog training classes open to dogs which are 6 months and above.

Behaviour Consultations

Behavioural consultations are available for dogs with behavioural problems ranging from 'bad manners' to complex behaviour problems.
We understand that not every dog is suited to group sessions and that some dogs require a more personal touch towards training. Whether this is because the dog is too boisterous for classes, has bad manners, or has a more abnormal or problem behaivour then we are here to help.

Scentwork Club

Scentwork Club is available to dogs which have completed an introduction into Scentwork and want to develop their skills further and is an affordable way to include an activity that both you and your dog will enjoy. Scentwork is accessible to all dogs big and small, young and old, and you can progress through the levels at your dogs pace. We use force free techniques and follow UKCSD methodology for teaching dogs Scentwork to minimize the chances of stress and maximise the chances of fun!
