Where we train in Canterbury
Canterbury (CT1/CT2) and nearby
Local dog training delivered on real Canterbury routes and everyday set-ups. Sessions can be run as dog training home visits and on-walk coaching across Canterbury and surrounding areas.
Real-life proofing, not controlled-only training
We train where behaviour happens: pavements, parks, public spaces, neighbourhood walks, everyday triggers and real-life scenarios around Canterbury.
How it works
1) Assessment
We identify what’s driving the behaviour and define the goal (obedience, control, behaviour change).
2) Plan
You get a structured plan with clear rules and milestones that fit your dog and your home.
3) Coaching + Proofing
We coach you through reps and homework so progress holds on walks, at home, and around distractions.
Problems we resolve most often
- Recall that fails around dogs, people, or wildlife
- Pulling and lunging on lead
- Reactivity to dogs or strangers
- Over-excitement, jumping up, poor manners
- Anxiety, fear, confidence issues
- Aggression and control problems (assessment-led)

Testimonials – 5⭐ Google Rated Best Dog Trainers in Kent
“My cockapoo Bertie spent a week with Mac as he had separation issues and reactivity to other dogs. During the week I received regular updates and progress videos which was reassuring. I could see Bertie settled in well and was responding to the training. I also received regular training videos and advice which I was to carry on the training with after the week. Bertie responded well to the treatment and continues to approve. Mac is very helpful and never minds answering your questions as well as providing excellent after care training advice. I would thoroughly recommend Mac to help with any of your dogs behavioural issues.”
