My 6 mo old pooch and I just finished back to back training programs, Puppy Foundation Training and Bronze Level Training. I couldn't be happier with how it went! Sunnie, our mentor, is a real sweetheart and extremely thorough. Not only does she go through all the important stuff (sit, down, stand, wait, heel, leave it, etc), but she calmly breaks down dog psychology issues, nutrition incl treat types, health monitoring, dog tags, and other important things as well. She's extremely flexible as it concerns make-ups and dealing with difficult pups. All at a very fair price. I highly recommend!!! More...

Sunnie was highly recommended to me and I am so pleased I asked for her help and expertise with our newly adopted dog from Romania. Unfortunately, Dylan is quite reactive with other dogs and Sunnie has been working with us to help resolve his anxiety. She has given us great advice and instructions on how to manage his behaviour and we are already seeing results. We are not out of the woods yet, understandably so as Dylan was in a shelter for a few years, but we are moving in the right direction. Sunnie has lots of experience in this area and we are learning how to be more confident when taking out Dylan. More...

Thanks to Sunnie we now have an amazing well rounded dog. When we started training with Sunnie Ivy would be visibly distressed and cry if forced to sit on lead next to me for an extended period of time, now I am able to take her to crowded places where she will sit while I’m eating. Everyday we get comments from people about how well behaved she is for such a young large breed dog. Would definitely recommend! More...

We had 6 weeks of foundation puppy class. It’s money we’ll spent. Our Charlie has been brilliant in following commands after 6 weeks. Sunnie is highly recommended. She’s very helpful and great in dealing with our puppies. I think we are lucky to have found this class just in time. I the price of the class is excellent value. We look forward for the next level of Charlie’s class. We are proud and happy puppy parents, Martin and Joseph More...

Ziggy my 5 month old puppy and I have just finished Suni’s foundation course. It was great. Learnt key commands sit, wait and leave it, as well as working on recall and lead walking. Lots of tips about practice and insight into dog psychology which explains a lot about Ziggy. He is still naughty but has learnt these commands and his recall and wait are excellent. Nice people and dogs, v friendly. One of the best things was that all the dogs had to learn to ignore each other during the class. Will definitely be doing the next class. More...

Sunnie the trainer was excellent with my German Shepard Kane. Within a short time he had learnt to obey me in the sit commands indoors With rewards and voice control. Sunnie was strict but she knew how to control Kane. what I liked was she kept going over the previous works up until his final week. He’s not perfect yet, but with a little more work he will be. Thanks to Sunnie More...

Hi all, Otto here. Sunnie and Archway Dogs have been a big part of my life since I first started puppy classes over 3 years ago to the long walks we go on today. I always felt very safe at the puppy classes even though I was the smallest there and enjoyed learning as well as playing with my new friends. Sunnie now takes me on long walks with a few of my friends which is great fun and I return home, as we schnauzers say, absolutely “schnackered”. Lots of woofs and licks, Otto More...

Sunnie at Archway Dogs (AD) is a consumate professional. We started our relationship with AD when we took our Cockerpoo junior, for traininjg. The training was excellent. My partner and I and our young son took part and definitely benefited from the experience, as did (most importantly) our dog. We regularly get positive comments to this day about how well trained he is. This is about three years after his training classes. In terms of the grooming service that AD offers, simply put it's excellent. We're absolutely delighted with the standard of service and care that Sunnie provides. Again we regularly receive compliments about how well turned out our dog is from total strangers when we're walking him. I also happily, regularly recommend AD to the people that compliment us on the nature and styling of our dog. If you too want a caring, sound and professional service for your dog grooming, training or both, look no further than Archway Dogs!???? More...

Sunnie & Archway Dogs have been an absolute pleasure to work with alongside our Noah. We started off on the 6 week puppy course which was not only eye-opening for us as new dog parents, but an amazing value for classes in London (most places charges you double for even fewer classes/attention). Sunnie was great in the classes- often staying late to ensure the dogs got enough practice and even inviting us back to one class that we had to miss while sick.

Since then, we've gone on to leave Noah with Sunnie for doggy daycare as well. His tail starts wagging as soon as we've turned onto her street to drop him off in the morning and she always sends us adorable photo updates throughout the day m, as well as a quick text to let us know when he's back home and settled.

In short: a great trainer, at a great value for London, and highly recommended!

I left him with Sunnie and when he came back he was a completely different dog in that he learnt to trust her quickly and he didnt pull anymore it was amazing! Such a delight to see my little dog wag his tail in excitement when he sees her as he doesn't do that for everyone. The classes are lots of fun my pooch learnt lots of commands as well as lead work.

Sunnie is calm and controlled and just knows how to handle every type of scenario. With the additional option of sunday meets at a park. It really makes the difference to have a group of people all learning and training together! I'm so glad that we made a decision to be responsible owners.

What an all round amazing place ! From training, grooming and boarding !!! We have now been involved with Archway Dogs for best part of a year and find all the services they provide just great ! Our dog has never been happier since we took him along to meet Sunnie. We have just retuned from holiday, and while away we had complete peace of mind knowing that our dog ( Biscuit ) was in the amazing care of Sunnie, all of his needs are met and he couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend trying any of the services on offer. You won’t be disappointed. More...

Big NO. If you care about your pet don’t leave them with Sunnie. She has an aggressive personality and shown signs of abuse both as a groomer and sitter. Not only to my pet also towards me. After my dog had a grooming session with her she shown signs of distress and bold patches on her back. At first I thought it was nothing and I had reserved dog boarding with her for a month in August. On the day of my dog checking in she cancelled everything last minute. Only because I got the check in time wrong (1 hour late). Left me and my pet in a terrible situation. Not only that also her messages and attitude towards me was unbearable and shown no respect. There are plenty other groomers and sitter in Highgate and Archway that’s available at the same or cheaper price with a proper business premise. Don’t ever take someone like a Sunnie who is not legit and dodgy. (She only takes cash). Just be aware and take my experience as a warning sign. More...

Q&As

I love the outdoor life with dogs.
Everybody who has ever owned a dog knows that dogs enable you to meet people and are very social animals. Teaching and passing on knowledge I've learnt from other professionals and trainers is very rewarding. Watching canine skills improve and owners gain confidence is always a good feeling for all .

I started Archway Dogs in 2010 as a career change. I realised my community didn't have local training classes and many people were in need of pet support in their busy lives of work and family.
I've always had a love for animals especially horses and dogs. As a teenager I used to hang out at the local London city farm after school. Yes, I was the farmyard nut, mucking out stables, feeding and watering gladly in my school uniform!.
I knew I had a kinship for working with horses and dogs, so deciding to concentrate on a career working initially as a dog walker and then as a dog trainer was relatively easy decision to make.
2017 I expanded my canine knowledge into grooming to offer a whole package to clients.

I'm a professional who is continually learning and improving on my qualifications and experience. I am currently at Instructors level PDTI. I'm at level 3 Dip City & Guilds Groomer. I prefer to work with the groom standard as that is the correct way to groom a dogs coat whether they're hand stripped, scissored or clipped.
I'm reliable with excellent testimonials and references and won't waste your time.
I am insured with Clivertons.

Puppy and dog training is very hands on and it can be tricky to demonstrate and teach via a Zoom camera. for this reason, I prefer to meet in person as a 1:1 or in a group class.

My classes are always kept to 6 in a group maximum so that people have space between each other. There is good ventilation in the hall and the bathrooms and doors are sanitised daily.

Services

Group classes in the Archway Methodist Church London N19 4RS on Tuesday evenings. I focus on fundamental obedience and the Kennel Clubs' Good Citizen Dog Scheme. In springtime - April, I run outdoor agility & gundog training sessions on Sunday mornings in Whittington Park, London N19 4RS. This culminates in the annual competition in September The Dog Olympix. For more information on classes visit www.archwaydogs.co.uk

I also offer one to one home visits. home visits are booked s a minimum of 2 sessions initially. This is so I can demonstrate the skills and then come back a week later to see how you're doing.

Grooming offered for Toy, Companion and Terrier Dogs. I offer bath & tidy, pet trim and hand stripping. I can collect and drop off your groomed hound.
You can board whilst on holiday or a short trip and have your dog groomed for your return
