Our Training Classes
Fun, friendly dog training - for happy dogs and confident owners.
At Paws 4 Training, our goal is simple: to help you help your dog.
When your dog’s needs are met, life together becomes easier, calmer and a lot more fun - and that’s exactly what our classes are designed to support. We run friendly group training classes using positive, reward-based methods, helping dogs learn good habits while owners gain the skills and confidence to keep things going at home. We are proud to be recognised by the Kennel Club and follow the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme, giving our training a clear, trusted structure.
What we focus on:
-
Loose lead walking
-
Recall and focus
-
Calm greetings
-
Good manners at home and out on walks
-
Understanding your dog’s body language
-
How to train little and often (without it feeling like hard work!)
And yes - having fun is part of the plan

Puppy Socialisation Classes
8-week course / £85 / 1-hour classes / Wednesdays
The puppy stage is a wonderful (and busy!) time - full of curiosity, learning and discovery. Our puppy classes are designed to help your pup get off to the best possible start in a safe, friendly group setting. Puppy training isn’t about perfection - it’s about building confidence, good habits and a strong bond that lasts a lifetime.
In our puppy classes we cover:
-
Socialisation with people and other dogs
