Reviews

  • Emily was amazing with my dog, Ziggy! She was patient, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to her training, Ziggy has made such great progress, and she gave me the confidence and tools to continue his training at home. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a fantastic dog trainer!

    Nicola & Ziggy

  • Such a supportive and friendly group for both dogs and owners in East Kent. The walks are incredibly calm, well-managed, and perfect for giving your dog a positive, low-pressure experience around others. A wonderful community to be a part of!

  • Julie & Nova

    My dog Nova is a rescued Boxador. She had serious reactivity issues with almost everything and was a nightmare to exercise. Emily has worked consistently with me and Nova providing me with tips and guidance to understand Novas difficulties and ways that I could support her to feel safe and to rely on me if she felt anxious. Walks are now the highlight of my day and Nova has so much fun. She's not perfect and we still have a few minor slip ups but with the skills and knowledge Emily has given me I know how to deal with these in a positive way. Have a look at the videos and you can see Nova in action. Thank you Emily

Meet the Human Behind Kent Canine Behaviour

I'm Emily, Canine Behaviourist , with a particular interest in aggression, reactivity, canine body language, and understanding the emotions behind behaviour.

My own dogs, Tilley and Slinky, have played a huge part in shaping my journey and inspired the creation of Kent Canine Behaviour.

I believe behaviour is communication. By looking at body language, emotional state, individual needs, learning history and the wider picture, we can begin to understand what a dog may be trying to tell us rather than focusing solely on stopping the behaviour we see.

My approach is welfare-focused, practical, compassionate and individualised, helping owners better understand their dogs, build confidence on both ends of the lead and develop a stronger partnership together.

Walks, Socials & Events

Behaviour support doesn't only happen in a consultation or training session.

Kent Canine Behaviour brings behaviour principles into everyday life through behaviour-led Dog Walking, Neutral Walks, Social Skills sessions, Social Walks, Adventure Hikes and community events.

These services provide opportunities for dogs and their humans to experience the real world at their own pace, building confidence, developing social skills, understanding body language and learning how to navigate everyday situations together.

From dogs who need more space to those ready for greater social interaction, there's a place for different personalities, needs and stages of progress.
