People & Dogs specialise in Companion Dog Training and Behaviour and we offer a variety of services for owners of dogs of all ages and abilities. We believe that the relationship between owner and dog is the foundation to understanding behaviour, improving communication and building trust and respect.

We aim to teach the most up to date, humane and effective training methods and we offer education and practical solutions to dog owners, on all things canine. Victoria Cooper, the Principal Instructor and Behaviourist, has learned many of these skills from training difficult or stressed dogs in all situations and helping owners from all walks of life. She has several accredited qualifications in dog behaviour and training gained through recognised bodies of education and continues to attend seminars and courses to improve and extend her knowledge in this progressive and fast growing field of animal behaviour.

Victoria is a member of The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). This is a highly reputable organisation that represents professional, qualified dog trainers and has high standards of kind, fair and effective training. The APDT is one of the leading bodies of education in canine behaviour and training in the USA and UK as well as in Europe.

People & Dogs is recommended by vets, dog wardens, dog shelters and the RSPCA across North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. We have a strong reputation gained over 15 years and based on offering a helpful customer service, and effective, practical and humane methods. We are also Kennel Club listed.
