Welcome, Epsom puppy owners! I'm Cathy, your local dog trainer.
I know that life with a new puppy is both wonderful and challenging. My fun, games-based puppy classes are perfectly located for Epsom residents, giving you the tools and support you need to navigate common issues like puppy biting, toilet training, and learning to walk on a lead.
A positive start for your Epsom puppy
My 6-week beginner course isn’t just about “obedience”; it’s about building your puppy’s confidence and teaching them how to make good choices. In our small, supportive group classes near Epsom, we’ll cover:
Positive Socialisation: Safely meeting other puppies and people.
Real-World Skills: Foundation for recall, loose-lead walking, and polite greetings.
Problem-Solving: Simple games to help with nipping, jumping, and settling.
Building Your Bond: Learning to communicate clearly in a way your puppy understands.
You’ll get the best of both worlds: practical in-person training and a complete online library of videos to support you at home.
The perfect location for Epsom locals
Our training is held at Gibraltar Recreation Ground in Ewell, just a short drive from Epsom town centre. It’s the ideal, safe space to start your training journey and meet other new puppy owners from the local area.
