Always in safe hands
My Name is Victoria Cooper, and I am a Certified Behaviourist.
I have been interested in dog training and behaviour for as long as I can remember. Having always had dogs since the age of 8, I started a formal study of training and behaviour in 1994 and over the last 30 years have gained extensive qualifications and a wealth of specialist knowledge, and expertise to help you with your dog.
I continue to attend seminars and courses to keep up with my professional development and offer you the most up to date education in dog training and behaviour.
Compassionate, Ethical, Kind

Reputable, Qualified, Accredited
Anyone can set up as a dog trainer or behaviourist with no formal education, no skills, no background checks, or accountability.
Did you know that the dog training industry is unregulated?
This makes it a minefield for owners to choose someone they can trust and rely on to meet their needs and most importantly the welfare needs of their dog. It is important to be transparent and professional in my work. And so, I ensure that I remain accredited and up to date with my science-led studies to ensure that I can bring the best advice and support to my clients. I am committed to ongoing professional education and development as part of that accreditation.
These accreditation means you can employ me in the confidence that I am suitably qualified and experienced and that you will be receiving the latest, science led advice and support.
