How to find us





Canine Education is a professional dog training school offering high quality, fun dog training in and around West Berkshire. Run by Caroline Maskell, Canine Education uses kind, reward based training methods, such as clicker training and aims to enhance relations between owner and dog.

Caroline has a particular interest in the Gundog breeds, beating every season with her Springer Spaniel and picking up with her Labradors at several local shoots.  She was until recently an instructor for West Berks Gundog Club and often assists her partner in his dog photography business Canine Photos.  Caroline has first hand experience of living with difficult dogs and rescues, so understands the struggles some owners go through. The majority of our clients come to us as referrals from local vets and rescue centres that support our kind methods, and through word of mouth recommendation.

All our instructors and assistants regularly attend courses in behaviour, conferences and seminars to keep our knowledge as up to date as possible.

bullet Classes
Specialising in essential socialisation and training for puppies, rescues and all ages and breeds of both pet and working dogs. Small classes (averaging only 8 dogs) with a minimum of 2 experienced instructors help to ensure a high quality learning experience. We encourage all the family to attend especially well behaved children.
We are one of the few training schools in this area able to offer courses at Puppy through to Advanced level, guided by the same instructors throughout
.
 
bullet One-to-One Tuition & Consultations
One-to-one tuition facilitates concentration on specific areas that may be of concern. Alternatively, consultations can cover general guidance for those who have just acquired a new puppy or rescue dog. Sessions typically take place in your home where your dog can be observed in its own surroundings allowing us to see existing behaviours. Alternatively, you & your dog may attend our offices where we can provide both indoor and outdoor training support.
 
bullet Outdoor Training
For those wishing to either work in a group setting to further their dog's training in an outdoor environment surrounded by new sights and smells, or for those who want individual tuition we are able to simulate many scenarios at our private outdoor training grounds. Great fun!
 
bullet Gundog Training
Whether you are aiming to partake in beating, picking up or simply want to utilise your dog's breed potential and have fun whilst doing it. No harsh methods used. Our particular interest and speciality is in the Retriever and Spaniel breeds.  

Our approach is realistic.  Having two young children Caroline knows all too well the pressures that can be on a family.  We only use positive training methods and aim to integrate our canine friends into a harmonious household.

Contrary to popular belief, Caroline has proven that you can have a dog that is both a successful working gundog and family pet - quite at home with her young children crawling all over them.  Our successful training techniques are proven in that we do not need to take a clicker or food out with us when they are working.

" I would say that you have restored mine and Mike's confidence in the ability of professional dog handlers to be normal friendly people with a sense of humour! We'd had bad experiences in the past with dog training for our first dog and had (possibly unfairly but a number of other people's experiences mirrored our own) tarnished you all with the same brush. The whole experience was enjoyable and informative and just what we needed.
Thanks again"
Sandra,  owner of Jess the Terrier.
