What Makes Dog Training in the County of Surrey Unique?

Dog training is a different experience depending on many factors: the age of your dog, their breed and temperament, and where you’re based. Your own expectations can also make a difference. 

Surrey is a lovely place to train a dog, given it’s full of plenty of beautiful places and has something of a ‘dog culture’. 

Whether you're in Guildford, Woking, Epsom, or the surrounding countryside, choosing a dog trainer who understands the local context makes all the difference.

Here’s what sets dog training in Surrey apart, and why Canine Kids is trusted by vets and families across the county.

A Wealth of Stunning Places to Train

Surrey offers a bit of everything, from peaceful footpaths along canals, through to rural classic English greens, to busy towns like Guildford.

For a puppy or younger dog, this means they’re exposed to all kinds of life: traffic, cyclists, children, other dogs, joggers, wildlife. This variety can be a blessing for socialisation, but only if handled carefully.

At Canine Kids, we teach dogs all the skills needed to behave in miscellaneous situations in the real world. Our carefully managed class environment prepares them for life outside the training hall.

Learn in a Stress-Free Environment

We run small, structured classes – and we’re proud of that. It's not just about numbers; it's about maintaining a calm, focused atmosphere where dogs can truly learn. Our team constantly monitors behaviour in the room to ensure every dog (and owner) has a positive experience.

This type of atmosphere is what sets us apart. In a busy county like Surrey, where distractions are everywhere, having a controlled environment to build strong foundations is key.

Over 20 Years of Proven Experience

Our founder, Karen, brings more than two decades of hands-on experience in dog behaviour and development – and now lectures the next generation of trainers and behaviourists. That knowledge is poured into every session we deliver.

We don’t rely on outdated methods or shortcuts. Our approach is based on positive reinforcement and communication, helping dogs learn what we want, rather than just what we don’t. It’s techniques which are kind, backed by science, and proven to be effective.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Too many dog owners wait until there’s a problem to start training. At Canine Kids, we believe early education is the best investment you can make for your puppy. Our classes are designed to prevent behaviour problems before they start, setting dogs up for lifelong success.

Whether it’s building confidence, helping dogs focus, or managing overexcitement, our Surrey and Hampshire-based courses are designed to support owners when they need it most.

Why Being Vet-Recommended Matters

Vet recommended isn’t just a badge. It’s a reflection of our standards, professionalism, and the trust we’ve built with the community. We’re proud to work closely with local vets who see first-hand the benefits our training has on their patients.

Training in Surrey means more than teaching a dog the basics: it’s about preparing them for life in busy, beautiful, and often unpredictable places. At Canine Kids, we ensure your dog is ready for exploring this gorgeous part of the South East.
