Anglesey is a small island with a short list of dog trainers. Here is the one we could confirm from the trainer’s own website, and the best ways to find more.

Vicki Cook’s website says her approach is “rooted in reward-based training, avoiding any confrontational methods”. She offers puppy and dog training, including support for deaf dogs, plus behaviour consultations, and she is listed on the ABTC Anglesey register. The business also offers other services such as pet sitting and dog walking, so ask exactly what is included before you book.
Finding more on and around the island
- The ABTC keeps a county register, and its Anglesey page lists practitioners who cover the island.
- Our Gwynedd trainers page covers the mainland just across the Menai Strait.
- The UK-wide dog trainer directory.
Before you book anyone
- Ask what happens when your dog gets something wrong.
- Check which tools they use. Shock, spray and prong collars are a no from us.
- Ask whether they travel, as many island trainers do home visits.
Anglesey’s beaches are lovely for training walks once recall is solid. If you are looking at everyday support for your dog, the dog supplements and vitamins at Calmshops are worth a look, after speaking to your vet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there only one trainer listed for Anglesey?
It is a small island and we only list trainers whose own website says how they train. This is the one we could confirm.
Can I use a trainer from the Gwynedd mainland?
Many do travel, but ask about distance and any travel charge before you book.
What should I do if my dog’s behaviour suddenly changes?
Speak to your vet first, to rule out pain or illness, before starting training.
