If you’re tired of short-term fixes that never truly solve the problem, The Modern Canine is here to help. Through personalised support, we’ll help you understand your dog’s behaviour.
You love your dog but the relentless pulling on the lead is making your walks feel more like a workout than a mental health break.
You want to go for a walk in the countryside and end up in a pub, but you feel their behaviour is unpredictable and unreliable.
You feel like you've read all the books, maybe even attended training classes and still feel like your dog is the only one not getting it.
Our Board & Train programmes provide an immersive training experience designed to create, lasting progress while your dog stays with us. Every stay includes daily exercise, a minimum of two training sessions per day, extensive real-world environmental exposure, daily updates, detailed training videos, a full handover session, and ongoing WhatsApp support after completion.
Choose from our 3-week Obedience programme, 4-week Obedience Plus for advanced skills orr 6-week Behavioural programme focused on more complex issues such as reactivity, resource guarding, and aggression.
If you've ever dreamt of long walks in the countryside with your dog at your side and a refreshing drink in the pub after, you're not alone! We understand how far away that fantasy may feel right now, which is why this course has been put together to give you a starting point for communicating with your dog and take them from a pain in the butt to a pleasure.

How training with The Modern Canine works
We identify your needs and understand reasons for your dogs behaviour and provide guidance, structure and clarity for you and your dog through solid foundational motivation based training.
This begins with a 2 hour assessment session where your trainer will come to you and delve into your dogs life, your goals for them and your pain points and provide you will a plan to continue your journey with us.
Start with a friendly discovery call to discuss the challenges you’re facing, your goals for your dog, and which service may be the best fit. This is a chance to ask questions, learn more about our approach and take the first step towards improving your relationship with your dog.
Absolutely chuffed we found TMC. Kate has worked miracles with my JRT, Bruiser. After working with several trainers and his dog reactivity only seeming to get more intense, he now makes some great choices and can actually have time off lead. Bruiser would redirect to his littermate, Blair, so they've been walked separately until now. After 3 years of my blood, sweat and tears Kate helped us crack Blair's heel in less than a session, so she can enjoy walks with Bruiser and show him how fun the world can be. She is truly a skilled trainer and I can't wait to get stuck in on a mentorship program and learn how to become even half the trainer Kate is myself! Truly cannot thank her enough.
I'd been following the Modern Canine on Instagram after a recommendation from a colleague and finally took the plunge when our cocker spaniel Bruce hit adolescence and we needed some help managing his behaviour. From the very first session we noticed a massive difference in Bruce. Kate is so knowledgable, professional and not only did she help us improve Bruce's behaviour, she helped us understand him better. She's a star and we can't thank her enough.
Can't recommend Kate enough, she has worked wonders with Loxley and it has improved things at home so much. Just with putting certain boundaries in place, he has become more confident and a pleasure to have.
Kate is the head trainer, owner, and driving force behind The Modern Canine, bringing over 10 years of professional experience helping owners build better relationships with their dogs. With a lifelong passion for dogs and a commitment to ongoing education, Kate combines practical training, behavioural understanding, and motivational methods to create real, lasting results. Alongside her own dogs, Six and Sarge, Kate is passionate about empowering owners with the confidence, clarity, and support they need to thrive with their dogs.
Sessions are usually held at your home or in real-world environments where behaviour issues naturally occur.
Yes. Progress depends heavily on reinforcement outside of sessions. We provide clear guidance so you can continue training confidently at home.
It depends on the dog and the behaviour being worked on. Some issues improve in weeks, others require ongoing support.
Yes. Reactivity is one of the most common issues we work with. We focus on changing emotional responses, not just stopping behaviour.
We offer in-person training across East Yorkshire and surrounding regions. Contact us for availability.
