We adore dogs and are passionate about making their lives better, which is why we dedicate our lives to working with them and their humans.
We understand that most people without dogs will never know how important your dog is to you. Dogs become a part of the family in every sense, and their wellbeing is as important to you as that of any other member of the family.
Our approach to dog training is considerate and friendly, and we don’t believe in negative-reinforcement techniques being used at all. We prefer to work closely with owners, so that both you and your dog understand what we are doing and why. We are also big believers in owners learning along the way too, so be prepared for homework!
The main aim of the work we do is to make every dog a happy, well-adjusted member of the family, and we hope to be able to help you and your dog to achieve this.
Whether it’s for puppy training or fixing aggression, you will get an experienced behaviourist who will work with you 1:1 tirelessly until your dog has made the improvements they need. We happily take on any dog with any issue, and do not give up until the needed improvements are made. We aim to do this in as little time as possible, keeping your costs down but without compromising on our dedicated support, training and guidance.
Anthony, our Head Canine Behaviourist, dog nerd, and founder of Oxford Dog Training Company has, over the past decade, worked hands-on with 1000s of dogs across all breeds, backgrounds and behavioural challenges – from nervous rescues to overexcited family dogs to complex reactivity cases.
He takes a calm, honest, practical approach — rooted in deep behavioural understanding, clear communication, and calm, consistent leadership.
Anthony’s method blends the science of behaviour, the real-world experience of thousands of training hours, and the embodied calm of a background in martial arts and Qi Gong. As well as being a fully qualified Canine Behaviourist, he also holds a degree in Physics — so our work is grounded in observation, logic, and what actually works.
Anthony has learnt from and trained alongside some of the world’s most respected names in the field, including:
-
Cesar Millan (California & Florida)
-
Dr Ian Dunbar (UK)
-
Cheri Wulff-Lucas (California)
Anthony is always studying, refining and evolving — through international mentorships, courses, and personal study. In 2025, Anthony published his first book: The Nerdy Book of Dog Facts.
Our goal is to help owners cut through the confusion, ditch the quick fixes, and learn how to really lead their dogs — with clarity, calm, and consistency. We believe:
-
Calm is a skill — and a cue.
-
Energy matters more than commands (although commands are still needed).
-
Leadership can be kind and clear, without shouting or stress.
If you’re looking for someone who’ll help you understand your dog, not just “fix” them, and guide you through real change with honesty and support, we’d love to work with you.
