Philippa and Suzanne, co-founders of Confident Happy Canines, have been honoured with the Inspirational Women in Business Award 2026, recognising their dedication, innovation, and outstanding contribution to the canine coaching industry.
Confident Happy Canines has been built around a clear mission to provide real, practical solutions for everyday challenges faced by dog owners. Through expert coaching and kind, reward-based training methods, Philippa and Suzanne empower owners to raise confident, happy, and well-behaved dogs.
“Our goal has always been to help dog owners feel confident and supported while developing the very best in their canine companions,” said Philippa. “Receiving this award is a wonderful recognition of the work we do and the positive impact we strive to make on both dogs and their owners.”
The business offers a wide range of services and structured courses designed to support dogs and owners at every stage. From Fun Dog Training Classes that help develop well-mannered, social companions, to Puppy, Novice, and Advanced Social Life Skills Courses, each programme is carefully designed to build confidence and strengthen the bond between dog and owner.
Specialist courses include Loose Lead and Recall training, UK Sniffer Dogs programmes at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, Advanced Sapphire Scentwork Club, Cognitive Skills and Confidence sessions, and dedicated Dog-to-Dog Reactive Courses. Each offering reflects a commitment to kindness, professionalism, and tailored guidance.
“Being recognised as Inspirational Women in Business is truly humbling,” said Suzanne. “It reinforces our mission to provide dogs and their owners with the best possible start in life, and to show that learning can be fun, effective, and positive for everyone involved.”
