Best Dog trainers in Canterbury

Welcome to Dogs Naturally Dog Training where we help you work in partnership with your dog

For over 20 years, Dogs Naturally has supported puppies, adolescents, adult dogs — and families training their own assistance dogs — across East Kent. As an accredited member of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and ABTC  (Animal Behaviour and Training Council), we provide ethical, positive, science‑based training that puts your dog’s emotional wellbeing first.

As well as dogs of all ages, we specialise in helping fearful, excitable, frustrated and “stubborn” dogs feel safe, understood and able to learn. Our calm, family‑centred approach ensures every dog and every person receives the support they need.

Whether you’re starting out with a new puppy, navigating challenging behaviour, or working towards assistance‑dog qualification, we offer trusted, qualified guidance every step of the way.

  • Full video learning platform available between sessions, so you always have support when you need it.

  • A safe, supportive environment for all dogs — we have never asked a family to remove their dog from class for “behaving badly”. Instead, we create the conditions that help dogs settle, feel secure and begin to learn.
  • Indoor training during colder months and outdoor sessions in spring and summer giving dogs the best environment for comfort, focus and real‑life learning.

Your dog deserves training that feels good, makes sense, and supports their emotional wellbeing. We’re here to help you — and your whole family — every step of the way.

Testimonials

“Excellent dog training classes, my very exuberant Huskie cross and I learnt so much under Tamzin’s guidance. Very knowledgeable lady with endless patience which was definitely needed in my case!! Highly recommend these classes.”

“100% recommend Dogs Naturally , really helped me with a few problems I have with my dog’s behaviour . Very knowledgeable with a gentle force free approach . Thank you .”

“Fantastic training for my Labrador. Chester was only 3 months old when we first took him to puppy class. he learned so much so quickly and continued to learn as he progressed through the classes. Can’t recommend highly enough”

“Tamzin and her team are excellent dog trainers. Our over excited Cockapoo, Rocky, has become much more manageable, using the clicker method. The classes are fun and informative and Tamzin is very keen to offer you extra advice wherever possible. I would highly recommend Dogs Naturally Dog Training.”

“I have taken both my dogs to these classes and both have got a lot out of them. Ollie is now 2 and very well trained dog. Polly was very nervous dog when she was a pup and is now 10 months old and becoming more and more confident every day. I walk both off lead and trust them both. I put that down to the classes and the advice Tamzin has given me.“

“Rosie is the second dog we have trained with Tamzin and both times her advice and support have been excellent. Training is always fun and informative with lots of socialisation. Tamzin and her assistants are very patient and give you and your dog lots of help when needed.”
