Meet Kerry
Force-free, science-based dog training across East Sussex and worldwide. APDT UK accredited. ABTC listed.
Hi, I’m Kerry
I’m Kerry from Howl School for Dogs, a certified dog trainer based in East Sussex with a strong focus on ethics, safety and kindness.
I work 1 to 1 with clients across East Sussex and the South Coast, including Hastings, Bexhill, Brighton and everywhere in between, and also work with clients all over the world remotely (yes, this works!).
Having a dog can be overwhelming and there is a lot of conflicting information available. Work with me and I’ll ensure we use science-based methods that are rooted in kindness, no matter your dog’s breed, size or background.
Get in touch if you need help with dog to dog reactivity, basic manners, aggression, hyperarousal, barking, recall, prey drive and more.
As a qualified dog trainer accredited by the APDT UK and listed on the ABTC, my skills have been independently assessed. To maintain my membership, I commit to ongoing professional development, ensuring that my knowledge and methods are always up to date and ethical.
In addition to my dog training qualifications, I hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This allows me to break down concepts clearly, coach you effectively through the training process, and adapt to a variety of learning styles and needs. I can help.
Howl School for Dogs is an inclusive organisation that welcomes diversity.

Why choose Howl School
At Howl School For Dogs, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a happier, more harmonious life for you and your dog.
Every plan is built around your specific dog, your specific home, and the things that matter most to you. In person across East Sussex or virtually anywhere in the world.
Your dog’s wellbeing (and yours) sits at the centre of everything I do. No aversive tools, no shortcuts that come at your dog’s expense.
As a qualified teacher, I adapt to the way you learn best. Have ADHD? I’ll keep things in manageable steps. Dyslexic? More images in your plan. Tell me what you need.
From first-week puppy plans to long-term work with rescue dogs and households juggling more than one, every stage of life is welcome here.
My training doesn’t just focus on your dog — it’s about empowering you with the confidence and skills to support them.
Who I work with
From puppy training and behaviour support to advanced challenges like reactivity, resource guarding, and preparing for life changes, my services are designed to suit every stage of your dog’s life.
Whether you’re in East Sussex or anywhere in the world, I offer in-person and online sessions to make professional support accessible to everyone.
