Always in safe hands
My Name is Victoria Cooper, and I am a Certified Dog Behaviourist.
My interest in dog training and behaviour began in childhood and has grown into a lifelong career.

Reputable, Qualified, Accredited Dog Behaviourist
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.
