How I can help you and your dogs

  • Sensible, structured and personalised training programs will help you achieve quicker, more consistent attention and co-operation from your dogs.
  • Practical training and behavioural advice carried out in the most suitable location for your needs (at home or more challenging outdoor areas where you may be experiencing difficulties) will also help you achieve quicker, more consistent obedience and attention from your dogs.
  • Pre-puppy or pre-rescue dog visits to your home to ensure you have all the advice you need prior to your new friend arriving in your home.
  • Pre-vaccination one-to-one puppy training in your home allows you to get a real head-start on training rather than waiting to go to classes.  This has the benefit of giving you the skills to train, build a strong bond, set guidelines (for puppy and your family) and so accelerate training and good behaviour, giving your puppy the structured and secure environment he or she deserves.
  • Helping you through the early days of puppyhood with advice on common issues such as basic training, good manners, house training, play biting, avoiding separation issues and dealing with any separation anxiety issues your puppy may already have. 
  • Ensuring your puppy or older dog acquires the essential socialisation skills - both with people and other dogs.
  • Helping you with your older dogs' behavioural issues such as general adolescent exuberance, car chasing,  not coming when called (recall), separation anxiety and other unwanted behaviours.
  • Building focus and motivation for competitive training - essential for disciplines such as obedience or agility.

Charitable support

Co-operative Canines is proud to be a kennel sponsor of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, a Member of Home Counties Boxer Welfare, and a supporter of many other animal-related charities – please see ‘Links’ page.  Having just relocated my dog training and behaviour business to West Sussex I have heard very positive feedback of Climping Dog Rescue and have just added my support to them - please also join me in signing up to their fundraising weekly lottery via their website.

I am also involved with Canine Partners, a charity which homes their trained assistance dogs with disabled people and who now have a training hub in Surrey.  During 2017 - 2018 I was a  'Puppy Parent', which involved raising one of their beautiful Labrador x Golden Retriever puppies from 8 weeks to 15 months old, when she was then ready to successfully move into her new challenge of advanced training and is now a fully qualified working Assistance Dog.  I continue to be involved in shorter-term fostering a variety of puppies and adolescent dogs for Canine Partners.  

I am also an Approved Instructor with Dog Aid - a charity which trains disabled owners' dogs to become registered Assistance Dogs.  This is a very worthwhile charity as many other Assistance Dog charities have long waiting lists to supply their trained dogs and I was very pleased to fully qualify my first Assistance Dog (and his disabled partner) in 2019, which means the dog is now recognised as a fully trained Assistance Dog with access rights equal to Guide Dogs, Canine Partners and other UK Assistance Dog charities.
