At Canine Code, our goal is to help dog owners in Bedford build confident, well-behaved companions through calm, effective, and reward-based training. We work across Bedford and the surrounding Bedfordshire areas, supporting families who want to improve their dog’s behaviour and strengthen their bond.

​

Using balanced, science-led training principles, we tailor every session to suit the needs of both dog and owner.

​

Your trainer, Carl Matthew, is a professional dog behaviour specialist in Bedford with experience dating back to 2007. He provides expert dog training, puppy training, and behaviour consultations in Bedfordshire for dogs of all temperaments.

Rather than committing to long group classes that can cost thousands, you can bring Canine Code Bedford directly to your home. In just a short, focused session, Carl will guide you through the essential techniques that make a real difference to your dog’s daily behaviour.
“You’ll be surprised how quickly things start to change.”

​

All training is delivered with patience, empathy and respect, ensuring both dog and owner feel calm, understood, and supported.
