Hello

Hello, I’m Kamila — the heart behind Kamila’s Dog Training.

I’m based in Trent Vale, Stoke-on-Trent, and I support dogs and their families locally across Staffordshire, as well as online across the UK and beyond.

Working with dogs has always been my greatest passion. Today, I’m proud to offer reward-based, ethical dog training and behaviour support that focuses not just on what dogs do, but on how they feel. My work is centred around emotional well-being, clear communication, and building calm, lasting results that work in real life.

As a Certified Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviour Consultant, I use modern, science-led methods that are kind, force-free, and tailored to each dog as an individual. I do not believe in punishment, intimidation, or quick fixes. I believe in understanding the dog in front of us, working at their pace, and creating change through trust, clarity, and consistency.

My Specialities

While I work with dogs of all breeds and ages, I have a particular passion for puppies, bull breeds, and reactive dogs.

🐾 Puppies

The early months of a puppy’s life are the most important. What they learn — and how they feel — during this time shapes their future behaviour.

I support puppy owners with:

Building strong foundations
Confidence and calmness
Early socialisation done properly
Basic training skills
Preventing common behaviour problems before they start

My goal is to help you raise a puppy who feels safe, understood, and confident in the world.

🐶 Bull Breeds

Bull breeds, including Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bulldogs and other bully-type dogs, are often misunderstood due to their appearance and unfair stereotypes. In reality, they are intelligent, sensitive and affectionate dogs who thrive on connection, clarity and understanding.

I’m deeply passionate about advocating for bull breeds through fair, patient and compassionate training. I focus on helping these dogs feel emotionally balanced, calm, and confident — without suppressing their personality or spirit.

Connection comes before obedience. Calm comes before control.

💥 Canine Reactivity

Supporting reactive dogs and their humans is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

Reactivity can look like barking, lunging, freezing, avoidance, or fear-based responses — and it can be incredibly overwhelming for owners. I understand how isolating and emotionally overwhelming this journey can feel.

As a Canine Behaviour Consultant, I specialise in helping reactive dogs:

Feel safer in their environment
Reduce stress and over-arousal
Build positive associations
Learn alternative, calmer responses

Equally important, I support owners with clarity, reassurance and practical tools — because behaviour change happens best when both ends of the lead feel supported.

A Little About Me

I’m a proud mum of two wonderful children and a devoted dog mum.

My dogs are:

Sparta, my English Bull Terrier
Mellow, my gentle American Bulldog cross
Luna, who sadly passed away in 2023, remains forever part of my heart and journey

My love for dogs began in a small town in Poland, where I cared for stray dogs and learned early on that kindness, patience and trust can transform even the most fearful souls. That experience shaped everything I believe about dogs today.

I am deeply committed to positive reinforcement, ethical training, and continual learning. I regularly complete CPD courses and continue to expand my knowledge through evidence-based studies, professional education, and real-life experience with dogs and families.
