Welcome to Wild Companion Dog Training

Hi, I'm Victoria, a professional dog trainer and behaviour consultant based in Gateshead, dedicated to helping you and your dog build a strong, positive relationship.

With a special focus on positive reinforcement training and behaviour modification for rescue dogs, my approach centres on understanding and harnessing your dog's natural behaviours to promote learning and growth.

At Wild Companion, I believe in the power of positive reinforcement. This method not only encourages desired behaviours but also strengthens the bond between you and your dog. By focusing on rewards and positive interactions, we create a supportive enviroment where your dog can thrive.

This is my beautiful boy Ranger. He is a Romanian street dog I rescued as a 5 month old pup.

Why choose Wild Companion?

Expertise in Positive Reinforcement

I have studied extensively, with various organisations such as The School of Canine Science, The Dunbar Academy and IMDT, proven methods that foster a happy, well-behaved dog. I continuously update my knowledge in the lastest science based training, natural canine behaviours and positive reinforcement methods.

Rescue dog specialist

Compassionate and knowledgeable care for dogs with diverse backgrounds. After adopting my own rescue dogs I quickly realised that the training methods available, at the time, were not working and so decided to learn everything I could, which lead me to discover a world of positive reinforcement training methods and canine body language. This enabled me to understand the needs of my dog would never be met with just basic training alone. I am forever grateful for the lessons my dogs taught me and for leading me down the rabbit hole to become a trainer myself.
