Training
Online or in-person we’re here to coach you through a tailored programme, with support both inside and outside of the training session.
Behaviour
Our dedicated team specialises in positive reinforcement and personalised behavioural modification, focusing on the root causes of behaviour.
Nutrition
A happy dog starts from the inside. Our bespoke nutrition plans boost your dog’s gut health to bring out the best in them and help reach their full potential.
How our training packages work
As every dog and its needs are unique, so are our packages. We build you a custom plan based on exactly what you and your pet need to thrive, starting from just £64.
Free 15-minute call
Our complementary 15-minute session helps us to understand your furry friend so we can begin building your personalised plan. One you purchase a training package with us, we’ll send you a tracker for your dog to wear.
Four-week discovery
The tracker can help us to find the route cause for certain behaviours, monitor your dog's health, overall behaviour and assist in meeting your dog’s breed specific needs.
Your tailored plan
Once your dog has been wearing our tracker for one month we can provide a tailored training programme to suit yours and your dog's lifestyle.

The behaviour tracker
When you purchase one of our training packages we will send you an Animo behaviour tracker for your dog to wear, so we can truly get the most out of our training together.
Activity
Animo measures the intensity of your dog’s activity throughout the day and activity goals are recommended based on the breed, age and weight of the dog. The device suggests activity levels based on the information in your pets profile. It breaks activity down to low, medium and high intensity to give a full overview of what that activity consists of.
Calories
Using activity data, Animo can accurately calculate the calorie burnt by a dog based on the length and intensity of their activity throughout the day.
- Track whether your dog is getting the right level of exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle
- Easily track when other family members or friends have walked your dog
- Track your dog’s activity intensity over time to spot any changes in behaviour
Sleep quality
Sleep quality and rest are key to a healthy lifestyle. When combined with the additional behaviour indicators, Animo can give you a powerful insight into your dog’s daily routines.
Animo tracks sleep quality, giving you an average score that you can use to compare last night’s sleep against. The sleep score is designed to help you quickly access how well your dog has slept. A high score indicates that your dog has slept well.
A series of calculations that is based on the continuity and duration of rest periods during the sleep hours that you set for your household.
- Awake
- Restless
- Normal
- Deep
Behaviour Monitoring
Animo also tracks barking, scratching and shaking. Even small changes can give you a critical insight into your dog’s health and wellbeing.
Barking
Every dog barks but for how long can tell you a lot about how happy your dog is. Animo will only show you periods where your dog barks for more than a minute and will highlight in orange when they bark for longer than 5 minutes.
Scratching & shaking
When your dog scratches or shakes it can be an indicator of changes in their wellbeing. Animo is constantly comparing your dog’s current amount of scratching and shaking with their past data. Alerts will be sent if there is a significant change and you will also be alerted when this returns back to ‘normal’.
Our Loyal Citizens
Karen is an approachable, realistic Behaviourist. Breaking down our behaviour programme into bitesize chunks so we are really able to understand how to implement at home and fit it into our day to day. We have a Malinois who tends to be under confident and can be people reactive at times, since doing our session with Karen we have seen our dog grow in confidence around new people, see her crate as a safe space and overall, become a lot happier. I would highly recommend using Karen if you have a need for any behaviour advice, you will see such a difference and kick yourself for not doing it sooner!
Fiona has been Rosie's groomer for about three-and-a-half years and I couldn't imagine anyone else pampering her. From Rosie's first puppy groom, where Fiona gave her a little trim and lots of reassurance, to her adult grooms where she comes back looking, and smelling, wonderful, Fiona considers Rosie's look but also her health and what is best for her. I can't recommend Fiona enough and I know my two pups would agree.
Our Labrador Polly began her 3 walks-a-week with Katie in April 2022. Polly hears the van, and rushes to the front door, tail wagging furiously! I know that all the equipment is up-to-date and have no safety fears for Polly. An added bonus is the videos of her outings and I've also had help in getting Polly accustomed to a ramp. Every walker I have met is well-trained and enthusiastic about their work. So, as Shirley would say, it has to be a 10 from me!!
The best and most honest dog experiences in Surrey. I would highly recommend it, my dog has never been more excited when the staff come to pick him up. Their integrated services (dog walking, training, sitting & grooming) make this an efficient and helpful company for working life with a dog!
I highly recommend Citizen Canine! We got married in Devon and needed someone to look after our two spaniels for 3 days whilst we were down there. As soon as we handed over Woody and Buzz we felt completely at ease. With regular photos and updates, alongside many of our friends and family seeing the dogs have a wonderful time on their walks, we knew they were being well looked after. Since then, we have used Citizen Canine a few times. A trusted, responsible and knowledgeable company. Thank you!
Five stars for Citizen Canine! Katie is brilliant and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s been looking after my Weimaraner, Lula, on and off for well over a year, who always gets excited when she sees Katie. Not only do I know she’s well looked after but Katie has a lot of knowledge about dogs (and horses) and she is kind but not overly soft which instills confidence 🐾❤️
Katie and the team helped us out massively when we both had gone back to work after lockdown and were worried about leaving our dog, Pogo. We booked drop-ins with the team to ensure Pogo was let out at lunch. We couldn’t fault the service, were kept informed and updated with photos and really reassured Pogo was in good hands. Thanks, Citizen Canine!
Citizen Canine offer an independent service looking at the smaller details that a lot of other companies may overlook, hence why I have been so grateful and taken aback by it all! Katie and her team have been fantastic with Bailey and he absolutely adores them all; he can’t run off fast enough when he goes off with them! He comes back every day tired from the wonderful adventures he has had.
I simply cannot recommend Citizen Canine enough. Katie and Jacob have been fantastic with our dog and have been helping us out since she was a puppy. She adores them and gets ridiculously excited when they arrive and they’ve also been wonderful in helping us consolidate our training. We get lovely photos and updates after walks and it’s so great to see her having fun. I really recommend them.
I would thoroughly recommend Citizen Canine for dog care and training, it is such a friendly and trustworthy service. My dog loves his sessions and he is a happy and obedient dog since starting with the team.
