(4.6 Score)
Bishopswood, Brackla, Bridgend CF31 2LT, UK Directions

Since 2019

Speciality:

✓ Dog Training ✓ Lead Pulling ✓ Recall Problems ✓ Jumping Up ✓ Help With New Rescue Dogs ✓ One-on-One Puppy Training and Behaviour Consultations ✓ Behavioural Issues ✓ Reactivity ✓ Fear ✓ Separation Anxiety ✓ Guarding Behaviours ✓ General Anxiety ✓ Phobias ✓ Compulsive Behaviours ✓ House Soiling ✓ Excessive Barking ✓ Aggression and Rehabilitation ✓ Recall Masterclass

“Dr Caroline Canine Consultant offers calm, ethical behaviour support for dog guardians who want clearer understanding and informed guidance when their dog is finding life difficult. When a dog is anxious, reactive, or finding everyday situations hard, it can be difficult to know which advice to trust or what to do next. Caroline’s work focuses on understanding what is influencing behaviour, so guardians can make informed, realistic decisions about support. Caroline is a qualified dog behaviourist with a PhD in Animal Behaviour. She holds professional qualifications with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers as both a dog trainer (IMDT) and a dog behaviourist (IMDTB), and was named Wales’ Best Dog Behaviourist in the Prestige Awards 2025/26. Her approach is science-based and fear-free. Her work avoids aversive tools, such as slip leads, and is not based on outdated dominance or hierarchy myths. Caroline offers one-to-one training for dogs and puppies, supporting everyday life skills and common challenges at home or on walks. She also provides behaviour consultations for dogs whose behaviour feels more complex or difficult to understand, where careful assessment and clear explanation are needed. She offers specialist support for separation anxiety, helping guardians understand what is driving distress and how to support their dog safely and ethically. In addition to her one-to-one work, Caroline runs the Doodle Hub, an online learning space for doodle guardians. This includes Cockapoo Calm, a self-paced course focused on understanding your cockapoo's behaviour. Caroline works selectively to ensure the right fit for both guardian and dog. A free discovery call is available via her website.”

BARK TO BASICS DOG TRAINING REVIEWS

Nia is a great instructor who taught the basics of what I needed for my puppy. The classes are very thorough without being too much. There aren't too many people in them so the sessions are very controlled. Nia and Sarah are both watching in the classes and step in when you need further support. Nia explains everything in a very relatable way, and also provides content after each of the session so you can refer back when training your dog. I could not recommend enough :)

DR Nia Rogers came to see my dog this Tuesday and I can already see an improvement. Some way to go yet however I would definitely recommend Nia So considerate to both dog and owners needs.

Would definitely recommend Nia - she's a great behaviourist and trainer with so much knowledge and adapts to suit the needs of each dog.

SOUTH WALES DOG TRAINING ACADEMY REVIEWS

What an amazing puppy course! I would highly recommend signing up to this! Our puppy Meg has really enjoyed socialising and learning new skills. Julie is full of knowledge about all dog breeds and I have learned so much from just a 6 week course. I’m looking forward to the next course and learning more about my puppy! Diolch Julie.

We have just about completed the Puppy Power course with our new boy Ralph. Julie is the Welsh, female version of Caesar Milan, if you are looking for a dog trainer, look no further. She barely has to even look at a dog and gains full command, it's unbelievable. Her knowledge of animal behaviour is huge, she knows loads and gives you really simple ways to train you dog with full explanations and tweaks for different breeds. Classes are fun and relaxed too. Thank you Julie!

Cannot recommend this course enough. As a first time puppy owner, I have found Julie's methods to be very easy to follow and effective. Everything is explained in detail, and skills that both myself and puppy have learned can be used in most scenarios for everyday life. It has massively improved my confidence, and my pup is getting more well mannered everyday, which evidences that this course is working. I am so grateful to Julie for all the support, Mac loves going to school every week!

DR CAROLINE CANINE CONSULTANT REVIEWS

Dr Caroline has been working with us since I bought my 9 year old rescue to her forever home 2 months ago. Caroline listened to what I wanted to achieve, clearly explained each process and put together a bespoke package for us. In addition to the actual training sessions, we receive a detailed follow-up email after each visit. I then have something to refer back to at any time as a refresher, there are lots of tips, information and techniques to take in at the time. We also receive regular check in messages and Caroline is always on hand if we have any queries or questions relating to previous sessions. We have had 2 sessions with Caroline to date, my little girl is transforming each day from an aloof, independent, timid angel into a happy, playful, trusting, affectionate bundle of pure joy. We still have work to do, but, thanks to Caroline, trust, and our bond is clearly getting stronger by the day. I can highly recommend Dr Caroline Canine Consultancy, she has made my little girls transition from her previous life and kennels onto her new life as smooth, calm and stress free as possible. Thank you Caroline, we are forever grateful - - Kerry

I contacted Caroline after I'd had a significant bite from my puppy. Caroline explained that she was resource guarding and taught me how to avoid and deal with situations. She gave me plenty of information and left me with lots back up info that I can refer to at any time. I recommend Caroline to help, teach and advise you with all your dogs needs. - Karen H

Cannot sing Dr Caroline's praises enough !!.Caroline helped me to fully understand behaviour issues with my Rescue Puppy , and how to address each kindly and positively.Dr Caroline is a wealth of knowledge and it was a pleasure to have guidance from such a highly qualified Professional - Emma L
