I think you've both made some really great points.

Thanks for the help guys, glad I've managed to spark a bit of debate.
From what I've gathered, the choice of domain name doesn't seem to matter all that much. I'm sure there are arguments for and against both but at the end of the day, if it's a crap site, it won't get far regardless of the domain name.
I think I'll just go with what feels right and spend more time on actually making a good site.
Here is the order which I will rank them if I were you:
dogtraininguk.co.uk (best)
dogtraining.org.uk (better)
dogtraininguk.co.uk (good)
dogtraining.info (good but you aren't targeting UK with this domain)
dogtraininguk.com (confused)
if the site dogtraining.co.uk already existed, would you still look at dog-training.co.uk as a new niche website and try and take the competition on, or would you just look for something more unique??
It would all depend on if I thought I could do a better job than the competition. If for example dogtraining.co.uk was unavailable but the site was nowhere to be found in Google or was there but on page 5 i'd give it a whirl. If the competition was strong (no matter what the domains were at the top) I'd reconsider and more than likely look elsewhere.
