Dog training insurance

Peace of mind for dog trainers and animal behaviourists

All animal behaviourist insurance provides cover for damage or injury incurred by third parties as a result of something you did (or failed to carry out) in the course of your work.

We also provide protection against claims arising from accidents or injuries caused to an animal in your care, whether or not it was your fault – especially important when working with dogs that have behavioural issues.

In addition, our standard cover includes a range of other important protections, including assistance in the event an animal in your care is lost or stolen.

Depending on how you operate, you may find our optional insurances important. For example, if you advise pet owners as part of your services, we can cover you for claims arising from negligent advice you provide.

Dog training insurance FAQs

What do you need to train dogs in the UK?

While there is no national regulatory body for dog trainers and behaviorists, most professionals belong to a representative group and undergo training. A must-have as any animal professional, is to hold the right coverage, and dog training insurance provides the protection you need.

What is the difference between an animal trainer and an animal behaviorist?

While there is some overlap, most trainers teach obedience, skills, and basic behaviour modifications, whereas behaviorists tend to tackle behaviour issues like aggression, destructiveness, anxiety, or compulsive disorders in animals. Both professions can potentially encounter unruly animals, hence the importance of having comprehensive insurance coverage.
