Your navigation through every
stage of dog training
Raising a dog is both fun and challenging. Sometimes everything goes smoothly, while other times you come home from a walk utterly embarrassed and exhausted by your dog. Our team at Your Canine Compass, located in Wellington since 2017, (and formerly known as Cosy Critters) is here to guide you through every stage of your dog's life. We offer Wellington Dog Training that adapts as your dog grows, helping you tackle each phase with ease. Whether it's a puppy or a senior, we're committed to training with your dog being a highlight of the day, rather than a chore!
