Welcome to Canine Consults

retriever puppy with boneCanine Consults is run by Ali Butler ACFBA MGoDT and offers one-to-one dog training and behavioural consultations throughout Cornwall.

What we may consider to be undesirable behaviour maybe a perfectly normal response for a dog, it's just how we as owners respond to this that can make a difference. Ali encourages her clients to take a different perspective and look at life through their dog’s eyes to gain a powerful insight into their world.

Owning a dog should be enjoyable, but if you are finding that any aspect of your dog’s behaviour is hard to manage, either in or out of the home then help is at hand, even if you have tried to correct it before and failed.

Do not give up, pick up the phone and speak to Ali direct to discuss any concerns you have about your dog’s behaviour and change both your lives for the better.
