Canine Behaviour Guernsey is a business formed in 2017 and is owned by Anna Jane Brehaut. She practices and advocates only the latest and modern techniques of training and behaviour modification and does so with the dog’s relationship with its owner at the forefront of her mind. Focusing on a ‘hands off’ approach, Anna’s training and modification programmes are tailored to the individual, concentrating on motivation and positive reinforcement techniques. Her methods move far away from old-fashioned techniques, which use negative force and physical punishment.

The company’s motto represents what Anna is all about – teaching our pups how we would like them to behave using kindness and understanding.

Scentwork & Detection

Canine Behaviour Guernsey is delighted to now be able to offer scentwork and detection training to pet dogs in the island. Through this type of training, we can help improve a dog’s quality of life through providing them with an outlet to use what is often referred to as their sixth sense – their very powerful nose.  

Our scentwork and detection classes are held by both Anna and Sam, who are both qualified WSDA Blue Training Instructors and qualified City & Guilds Scent Detection Dog Handlers. One-to-one scentwork and detection training is also available for those dogs who are unable to attend classes due to reactivity or anxiety issues. 

For more information or to apply for our scentwork and detection classes or sessions please get in touch!

Agility & Fitness

Interested in taking part in some agility and fitness training but don’t want to compete? Then our Fun Agility & Fitness Classes are just for you!

At Canine Behaviour Guernsey, we know just how important it is that our pets stay fit and healthy and agility and fitness training can really help us keep them that way. Agility and fitness work also provides an outlet for mental stimulation and is an activity that is enjoyed by both dog and owner. 

Our sessions are devised around building strength, conditioning and stamina rather than speed-focused. Fun Agility & Fitness Classes are held outdoors in the summer and indoors in the winter. They are usually held on a Tuesday evening and run in six-week blocks. For more information or to enquire about availability then please get in touch.
