About me

I’m Charles Gray, a behavioural dog trainer in Norwich

Looking for a behavioural dog trainer Norwich owners actually recommend? I work directly with you, the owner, so the changes stick long after I’ve left. I take on a small number of clients at any one time, which means every case gets my full focus and a genuinely personal service.

My approach is direct and results-driven. I’ll tell you exactly what’s happening with your dog, why it’s happening, and what needs to change — no jargon, no guesswork. Most owners see a real difference within the first session. Often within the first hour.

As a behavioural dog trainer in Norwich, I work with dogs of all breeds and ages across Norfolk. Whether your dog is showing aggression towards people or other dogs, pulling on the lead, struggling with separation anxiety, or refusing recall — these are behavioural issues with clear solutions. In most cases I can identify the root cause within minutes of arriving at your home. The changes I give you are simple, clear, and designed for anyone to implement — regardless of age or experience with dogs.

With over 105 five-star Google reviews, I’m the most reviewed behavioural dog trainer Norwich has to offer. My clients regularly tell me they wish they’d found me sooner. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behaviour, don’t wait. One visit is usually all it takes.

My approach

No stopwatch, just results

I don’t work to a timer. My sessions last as long as it takes to make meaningful progress — generally two to three hours, but with no set time limit. I work with you in attendance, explaining exactly what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and what I’m looking for from your dog, so you leave confident and ready to continue the progress at home.

Most owners see improvements within the first session, often within the first hour. My methods are practical and results-driven, showing you simple, real-world techniques that fit into your day-to-day life — all in a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere for both you and your dog.

“We recently adopted a lovely dog from the Dogs Trust. We found we had great difficulty walking her, because of excessive pulling and aggressive behaviour to other dogs. Also she was terrified of the car. We found Charles on line and it is the best decision we ever made. He is a miracle worker, we now have a dog we can walk!!”

Where the training happens

Training begins in and around your home, so your dog learns in the environment where the behaviour naturally happens. If your dog’s issue involves reactivity, we’ll also work in public areas where we can safely recreate the situations that trigger the unwanted behaviour and address it in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t find what you’re looking for?
Get in touch with any questions.

What makes your training different from group classes?
Plus Icon

My training is 100% one-on-one, allowing personalised focus on your dog without distractions from other dogs. Each session is conducted in your home, ensuring a comfortable environment for effective learning.

How do you tailor the training for each dog?
Plus Icon

I begin with an in-depth home visit to understand your dog’s environment and behaviours. From there, I create a customised plan that suits your dog’s personality and specific needs, using proven, humane methods.

What issues can your training help resolve?
Plus Icon

My program covers a wide range of challenges, including recall issues, leash pulling, separation anxiety, excessive barking, aggression, hyperactivity, and more. Each plan is designed to eliminate the issues that matter most to you.

What commitment is required from me?
Plus Icon

Training success relies on daily reinforcement. I work closely with you to create a realistic plan, and if adjustments are needed, I offer free phone consultations to ensure both you and your dog are on the path to success.

What can I expect from the initial session?
Plus Icon

Our journey begins with a 2.0-3.0 hour home visit to discuss your goals, observe your dog’s behaviour, and build a customised plan. This foundation helps ensure the training is effective, enjoyable, and tailored to your lifestyle.

What will happen during the training session?
Plus Icon

The session will last for 2.0-3.0 hours and take place in and around your home. During this time, I will have an in-depth discussion with you about the issues you are facing and the dog’s background, including any medical issues. Thereafter I will begin the training with as many members of the household present as possible, so I can teach you the appropriate tips and techniques to use following my visit. The training will also include an explanation of what your dog’s needs are to enable it to have a relaxed and respectful relationship. Thereafter I provide FREE TELEPHONE ADVICE for the duration of the dog’s life. I will of course, gladly return for a second visit but in 90% of cases I only need to see my clients once.
