Finding a dog trainer in London

28 dog trainers and behaviourists listed in London. If none of them suit, the Greater London page covers a wider area.

These listings come from public business information. Rompo has not assessed anyone here, and dog training is an unregulated trade in the UK, so ask about methods and accreditation before booking. A trainer who will not tell you plainly how they handle a mistake is telling you something.

Common questions

How do I choose a dog trainer in London?

Ask what happens when your dog gets something wrong. Reward-based trainers will describe changing the setup so the dog succeeds; be wary of anyone who talks about corrections, dominance or being the pack leader. Ask about accreditation too, and about experience with your specific problem rather than dogs in general.

Are these trainers checked or accredited by Rompo?

No. These are directory listings compiled from public business information, not recommendations. Rompo has not met these trainers or verified their qualifications. Dog training is unregulated in the UK, so anyone can use the title, which is why checking accreditation yourself matters.

What is the difference between a trainer and a behaviourist?

Broadly, a trainer teaches skills such as recall, loose lead walking and everyday manners. A behaviourist works on the underlying emotional problem behind behaviours such as reactivity, aggression or separation distress. For anything fear-based, look for a qualified behaviourist, and expect a good one to ask for a vet referral first.

Can I book a trainer in London through Rompo?

Not yet. Trainer listings show contact details so you can get in touch directly. Rompo takes no fee and is not part of any arrangement you make.

Can I train my dog in a private field?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people book one. A secure field gives you an enclosed space with no other dogs around, which is exactly what recall practice and reactive dog work need. Some trainers run sessions in hired fields, so it is worth asking.
