About Canine Craft UK
At Canine Craft UK, our mission is to help every Bristol dog and owner build harmony and confidence—no matter their background or challenges. Founded by dedicated trainers with over 15 years’ hands-on experience, we’ve guided hundreds of canines and families through every stage of life, championing positive, force-free methods that bring real results.
We believe that training should empower both you and your dog. Every session—whether one-to-one, in a group, or working through specific behaviours—is expertly adapted to your dog’s personality and your unique goals. There’s no “cookie-cutter” formula here—just knowledgeable trainers who listen, encourage, and celebrate progress.
Our approach is why local vets recommend us, families come back year after year, and dogs of all ages bound into our centre with tails wagging. Let us help your dog unlock their true potential—the gentle way.
