Private 1 hour session - £35
Working one to one with you and your canine companion.
In this private setting, we will be tailoring our approach to your specific needs, goals, and challenges.
These sessions will allow us to work together to identify areas for improvement and develop a personalised training plan that suits your dog's unique temperament and learning style.
From teaching basic commands to tackling more complex behaviours such as reactivity or anxiety, our goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence you need to succeed.
You will also be added to a Canine communication group chat where you will be able to ask any questions among a supportive group.
Group Class - £20 per dog
In this group setting, we believe in the power of collective learning and support. Whether you're here to refine your dog's manners, tackle specific behavioural challenges, or simply strengthen your bond, you're in the right place. Group class is the perfect opportunity for what we believe is real 'socialisation' for your dog where they can simply learn to work and exist around other dogs in a calm, positive environment.
Full e-collar introduction ( 3x1 hour sessions) - £100
For those of you who want to take your relationship with your dog to the next level and strive to achieve ultimate off lead freedom then an e-collar course may be for you. We introduce the e-collar in a purely positive way in which we believe is the most fair and effective way to achieve high level communication with your dog. We insist on only using high quality e-collars to train and will be able to provide an e-collar to train with on your first introduction session. However, moving forward an e-collar must be purchased and we can point you in the direction of where to purchase it from.
45 minute face time - £25
If you would prefer to speak over FaceTime and discuss any behavioural issues then we are also happy to do so. Some issues may be able to be fixed with some guidance from us over the phone and if not we can get you started in the right direction for your first face to face session.
About Us
Our philosophy at Canine Communication is about working together with your dog to build a healthy, trusting relationship that opens pathways for communication, which helps you both achieve a happy and fulfilling lifestyle.
After working in the dog industry for a number of years I decided to follow my passion and explore the world of professional dog training. Having spent time with and learning from some of the world leading dog trainers, such as Tom Davis from the Upstate Canine Academy, I have developed my own style of teaching in which I am and will always be still learning as I go.
Most importantly we should always remember why we are really training and that is to help give our canine companion the most enjoyable and fulfilling life possible, so we always strive to make sure we are having fun and training with a smile on our face.

What They Say About Us
Mable and I had our first one to one session with Ben and lovely Clifford and wow what a huge difference they made.
We have previously tried training sessions with other dog trainers to work on Mable's reactivity and these haven't worked. Ben brought new and easy tools for us to work with and what a difference it has made to Mable! We're very much looking forward to our next session!
Erin Mcfadden
I opted for the private 1hr session with Ben after being driven to insanity by reactivity from Mando my Cane Corso. After a brief chat around the challenges I was facing with Mando, Ben quickly got to work developing tailored exercises and instructions catering to our specific needs. After introducing a few training tools and a guest appearance from Clifford, the difference in Mando by the end of the session was night and day. Ben - you're our hero!
Mitch Davidson
During my first meeting with Ben, I was pleasantly surprised. The trainer demonstrated extensive knowledge of e-collar usage and training techniques. Their approach was professional, and the atmosphere was friendly.
Andrzej Osiewicz
We had a 1 hour session with Ben this morning to work with our reactive Border Terrior. We did lead training and learned how to keep our dog more engaged with us. By the end of the session we had made so much progress and are now looking forward to participating in group sessions with Ben. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone who wants to train their dogs or who has any issues that need addressing.
