We had a 1-1 session with Jack our Frenchie rescue.. Jack is a fantastic gentle giant until whilst out on a walk he would lunge, bark and try everything in his power to get to that dog twice he succeded thankfully no harm done except to me, i was scared he would cause damage +have to be put to sleep. Within 5mins of Louise being in control Jack literally was a changed dog right before our eyes i could of cried ( i did on the way home) this meant walks became enjoyable for us + for Jack. Louise was amazing we cant thank her enough + we continue the good work she has taught us. Highly recommend this Centre nothing is to much trouble + as Louise said she is only at the end of the phone for help + advice Tina, Keith + Jack xx More...

What can I say about Louise, well she is open honest and genuine. She is passionate about dogs and puts them first before any one. The dogs are her life. Her passion and her commitment to them is out of this world. Ignore the negative reviews I know they are false claims who has it in for Louise out of jealousy. Louise is approachable to discuss any matter with dogs. You won’t be disappointed with national dog training centre. 10/10 it would be more if I could rate higher. More...

Have been bringing my English bull for the past 4-5 weeks, now he’s not going to be a rock star but we do want him to have manners, which is working a treat, he thoroughly enjoys himself every week, and I would highly recommend to anyone, Louise is a star with him, thank you x

cannot say how much fun this class is, Tom and Charlotte are brilliant.. Tom knows what hes doing and theres a reason behind it. i have a very reactive dog, he knows his commands but can be stubborn. hes never been socialized as he was a rescue. First time ive EVER been able to do a off the lead recall while hes sat next to 9 other dogs!!! That little thing was Huge for me. you want results, Tom delivers. More...

puppy classes
Puppy training doesn’t just improve their manners; it’s a fun and rewarding way for you to spend quality time together and really helps you strengthen your bond. Most dogs love training – it’s a chance for them to challenge their brains, earn rewards and get lots of praise and attention!
What we teach.......
At training classes you’ll teach your puppy basic exercises and commands like “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come” – and you’ll also probably introduce some fun tricks like “give a paw” or “roll over”! These classes are an opportunity to teach owners as well as their dogs, and you’ll be shown how to train your pup using modern, kind, motivational approaches.
adult classes
It’s not just puppies that love the excitement of training, or the emotional bonding you enjoy when they learn new skills. Adult and senior dogs can also enjoy and benefit from ongoing training, especially if life changes a bit.
To start training your adult or senior dog and meet other like-minded owners and dogs, our reward-based training club with a variety of training courses on offer for dogs of all ages and backgrounds. Many dog owners go back to the same club where their puppy first learnt obedience training, meeting the same people and dogs they made friends with the first time around – after all, it’s about having a fun experience as well as an educational one! And if you choose to go to a different club you should feel the same.
what should you expect to learn?
sit, down, stay, heel on and off the lead, down at distance. Recall and much more important to behave round other dogs and people.
And much, much, more........
one 2 one Training
1-2-1 training is different for every dog.
The reason is because every issue may be different.
dosent walk on the lead, Aggressive towards other dogs, Aggressive towards people, Dosent recall around other dogs, barks in the house......
As you can see the list is endless but we can help!
