We are coming back to Swanley!
I am incredibly proud of our new achievement for 2020. The top Dog Training school is not just one of the best of 2019 but now is one of the top 3 dog trainer in London in 2020, 2021 and 2022, and that is only thanks to all our customers.
Top Dog Levels:
How do I teach
6 week training courses
How do I teach
- You will read many exercises I like to teach in my classes, but this is just an idea of what levels are about.
- Before I enter the class, I can not predict what level of training students may be, and the very first thing I need is to find out what my customers need.
- After observing and chatting with my new customers, I can decide what they need and what I will teach in that course.
- Every dog owner has different expectations from the class
- Every owner has a different experience with dogs - some first-time dog owners, and others- own dogs all their life
- Please bear in mind this is only a guide.

121 sessions
6 week training courses
How do I teach
121/private/individual training 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

Video Consultation
PUPPY CLASSES- PUPPY PRIMARY SCHOOL:
6 week training courses
You can't attend 121 sessions, or maybe you cannot use Zoom classes, or it's at the wrong time- Video consultation training could help, as we could call through Facebook messenger or WhatsApp.
We can cover all the behaviour as we can also send you a video of the exercise and then talk through it and you can even be in the garden or outside, show me how you do it, and I can be there and praise you for how well you are doing or maybe a correct little mistake.
We can have one h or two h calls. Are all up to you.
