one of the 3 Best Dog Trainers in London 2020 & now 2021
I am extremely proud of our new achievement for 2020. Top Dog Training school is not just one of the best of 2019, but now, is one of the top 3 businesses in the whole London. I still can't believe it myself, but I have checked about 10 times to make sure im still there, and yep, still there
Top Dog Levels:
121 sessions
5 week online courses
5 week online courses
121/private/individual sessions
Sometimes- a class environment isn't ideal for a dog or the owner.
Or, we want to deal with specific behaviour: pulling on the lead, recall, not good with other dogs, barking, have a rescue dog and want to give them the best start of new life..…
Many owners I have met need to build owners confidence as they are anxious about meeting other dogs, or even just simply don’t know how to deal with behaviours above
We work with you to make sure you have pockets full of knowledge when you leave us, confidence to deal with your dog on your own and work with those behaviours you struggle the most with.
I love 121 as we can have good chat and a laugh, its more personal and owner get 100% of my attention. You make a special connection with family and become a member of a dog family.
It is up to 2h session and we try our best to make sure you don't have to come back, not because we don't want you back- we want to make sure you know what to do and how to deal with behaviour just from 1 session

In the current situation, we can't run group classes at the halls or the parks- so we had to come up with online courses to try and help you the best we can to train your fur babies.
It is the weekly course with videos and Zoom class and homework
We have already tried this with the first lockdown and for those who were shielding, self-isolating or full quarantine- it was a god sent.
we are running a puppy course for :
puppy: everyone up to 6 months old
teens: from 6 months old
higher: those who have been to our 121 sessions or those who attended courses before and know a thing or two already.
sessions are 1-1.5h long:
What will we cover:
- Theory: how, why, when and what? How dogs learn, why do they do those behaviours, when is the best to give attention or not, praise or not, give a treat or not and, what is the best way to deal with it
- Behaviours:
loose lead, attention on you, recall, distractions with other dogs, children, runners, wind blowing leaf.
Barking: window, other dogs, runners, cyclist, children, people without dogs
Nipping, chewing, biting
Boredom, treats, toys, digging garden and everything you may have a problem with
