Is walking your dog becoming a daily struggle? Are you constantly worried about reactivity, anxiety, or aggression? We know how stressful it can be managing a dog with behaviour problems, and that's why, we are here to help.
At Animal Behaviour Kent, our dog trainers specialise in helping dogs with complex behaviour challenges, not just basic training. Our programmes designed to help owners struggling with issues like:
✔ Aggression – Towards people, other dogs, or cats.
✔ Reactivity – Barking, lunging, growling on walks.
✔ Separation anxiety – Distress when left alone.
✔ Phobias – Avoiding new situations, people, or noise concerns
✔ Obsessive behaviours – Tail chasing, compulsive licking, repetitive movements.
Daniel Shaw and Boo Blackhurst are a passionate, experienced, and highly qualified team dedicated to helping dogs and their people live happier, less stressful lives through kind, science-led training and behaviour support.

"We are so fortunate that Daniel was recommended to us by our vet after many other attempts with others. Daniel has proved to be the most successful in solving our issues. We have been so impressed with his methods and results and could not recommend highly enough. Thank you Daniel."
