If you’re looking for professional dog training classes in Suffolk, we are here to help. Our classes offer a friendly, supportive environment where you and your dog can learn essential skills for everyday life. Using positive, reward-based methods, we focus on helping dogs of all breeds, ages, and abilities build confidence, good manners, and a strong bond with their owners.
Our dog training classes in Suffolk are designed to be practical, enjoyable, and accessible. Whether you’re starting with the basics or looking to progress your dog’s skills, each class provides clear guidance, personal support, and effective training techniques that are proven to work.
During classes, we cover important skills such as recall, loose lead walking, polite greetings, settling calmly, and focusing around distractions. We also address common challenges like jumping up, pulling on the lead, or ignoring cues, giving you simple strategies to apply at home and out on walks.
Every dog and owner team is unique, so we keep our dog training classes small to ensure you receive the individual attention you need. We are committed to helping you achieve real-life results, setting you and your dog up for a happy and harmonious life together.
At present we run evening life skills dog training classes of 6 dogs and their handlers on a Tuesday and Thursday evening at Walton Community Hall, and Bildeston Village Hall.
These are an 8 week course covering all the essential basics such as loose lead walking, sit and wait, leave, recall etc.
