Experienced Dog Behaviourist & Dog Trainer in Buckinghamshire
Hi, I’m Chris Augustine – a dedicated dog behaviourist and dog trainer offering 1-1 training, and puppy classes.
I believe that with the right training, every dog has the potential to be extraordinary.
Let me show you how your dog thinks, and how to encourage the behaviours you want, and prevent the ones you don't.
Whether your pup needs basic obedience, calm socialisation, or more advanced behavioural transformation, I provide personalised, clear, and compassionate training.
Alongside behaviour work, I also offer puppy training near me for owners in Buckinghamshire who want to prevent future behaviour problems through early, reward-based training.
Why choose me in Buckinghamshire?
Reward‑based methods: Focused on positive reinforcement
Broad experience: I’ve successfully helped dogs with aggression, anxiety, fear, and more.
All breeds and sizes: From puppies to seniors

As a dedicated dog behaviourist in Buckinghamshire, I tailor every training plan to your dog’s unique personality, needs, and environment - ensuring they develop behaviour that fits your lifestyle and strengthens your bond as a family.
"We are absolutely delighted"
"We have taken on a rescue Doberman, almost two years old, who has had very little socialisation and we are absolutely delighted how far he has progressed in just two sessions with Chris.
Chris really knows how dogs think and explains the psychology behind the dog’s behaviour. He has extensive knowledge, a calm nature and uses reward based training.
My dog enjoys the training and I am finding greater confidence through his teaching."
- Bev O.
"She just loves him"
"We have had a great experience using Chris. I have a border collie who had issues with food guarding and also could tend to be unfriendly to other dogs, but Chris handles her so well and her behaviour is transformed!
She just loves him, and he has always been a pleasure to deal with.
I have actually learned a lot myself! If you need help training your dog I would highly recommend Chris."
- Charity H.
"He is natural with animals"
"I can’t recommend Chris enough!
He has been amazing with our dog Snowy, she feels really happy around him and very comfortable. You can tell how much he loves animals.
His family has an incredible setup. They live on a beautiful farm, which gives the dogs so much space to run and play.
We feel Snowy is in the best hands with Chris. He is natural with animals - just perfect for the dog world!!"
