ABOUT ME
I am a practical, empathetic and professional dog trainer who is dedicated to helping owners understand their dogs’ behaviour. My goal is to provide effective and positive training solutions that strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners - fostering trust, understanding and a lifelong partnership. Unlike corporate approaches, my methods are tailored, hands-on and rooted in real-life scenarios to ensure lasting results.
My experience spans every aspect of canine care, from breeding and boarding to grooming and behaviour training. I have also successfully competed in agility and obedience, which I believe has given me a well-rounded understanding of different training techniques.
Where did it all start?
My passion for dogs started at a young age, inspired by my dad. I grew up with a spaniel and at just nine years old, I welcomed my first dog - a spirited Jack Russell named Pru.
After completing my A-Levels, I pursued my passion by earning a BSc (Hons) in Animal Welfare and Management from Northampton University, followed by a COAPE Advanced Diploma in Practical Aspects of Companion Animal Behaviour and Training.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST INSPIRATION?
Medical Detection Dogs
I was incredibly lucky to spend 10 wonderful years working with Medical Detection Dogs as their Head of Dog Training and Animal Behaviour. I travelled across the UK, overseeing staff, training, dog selection and development. Witnessing each dog’s journey and flourish from puppyhood into a fully accredited assistance dog – all of which has been truly inspiring.
This experience deepened my appreciation for the extraordinary bond that can form between humans and dogs and their incredible ability to change lives. It was this moment that ignited my passion for the industry and I feel extremely privileged to have played a part in the charity’s growth and to have met so many instrumental people along the way.
When did Kimberly cox dog training begin?
At the age of 21, I founded Kimberly Cox Dog Training and Behaviour and for over 21 years, I have been dedicated to helping dogs and their owners build strong, positive relationships.
What's one thing that you have learnt along the way?
That you never stop learning!
Every dog I work with teaches me something new.
I have lived in Buckinghamshire all my life and currently live on a working farm, home to cows, sheep and horses.
I share my life with my partner, my horse Biscuit and 10 wonderful dogs—a diverse mix of breeds, from my youngest puppy to my working Collie and even a special rescue dog from the South Korean meat trade.
Having experience in multi-dog households and a wide range of breeds has given me valuable insight into different temperaments and training needs.
Living in the countryside and working with animals is my true passion.
Spring is one of my favourite times of the year, especially lambing season, where I am very hands-on.
More recently, I have taken up sheepdog training with my own Collie, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience - there’s nothing better than watching a dog excel at what it was bred for and working side by side with your best friend.
I absolutely love what I do and feel incredibly privileged to help people build happy, lasting relationships with their dogs. I owe my career to the many wonderful dogs I have encountered on my journey, and I look forward to helping many more.
