Behind the paws

About Us

Hello and Welcome to The Modern Canine. My name is Kate and I’m the human face behind the furry ones. Whilst other little girls were dreaming of sparkles and princess dresses, I dreamt of fur and 4 paws and I'm now lucky enough to be able to live my dream every day helping people give their dogs the best they can. I've worked professionally with dogs in many different capacities for the last 3 years, gaining hands on experience guiding clients to ensure their dogs are happy, healthy and well balanced. I don't train dogs, I guide you to ensure you're getting the best out of your relationship with your dog. We believe in giving dogs the full picture to help create well rounded dogs. 

I'm currently studying towards my Advanced Diploma in Applied Canine Behaviour Level 5. I have qualifications in Canine Body Language, Puppy Development, Nutrition and its links to Behaviour and I've taken part in a wide range of workshops to develop my skills. As well as a wide range of online courses through The Dog Training College and Canine Principles. I'm currently training to become a Scentwork UK instructor too.

I've been fascinated with dogs for as long as I can remember, constantly learning about their history and how they interact with each other and their worlds. I am continually expanding my knowledge and keeping up to date in the industry.  I share my life with two Cocker Spaniels.
