Abingdon Dog Training Club - Abingdon

Have just completed the six week foundation course for puppies. The trainer could not have been more helpful - entirely solutions based, with new insights into how to help a pup settle, be house-trained and begin to be comfortable on a lead.
It was very helpful, too, to meet other puppies in a controlled and supportive environment - it ensured positive first encounters both with the other pups and with the adult dogs who came in to help with socialisation.
Highly recommended!

This is my second time of using Abingdon Dog Training Club first many years ago with my first Labrador (Bodie) and have just completed the Kennel Club Puppy Foundation course with my Labrador (Blue). We are very grateful that we have this service on our doorstep and have enjoyed using it, to better train the owners and of course the puppies!!

I have now just signed up to complete the Kennel Club Bronze Course hoping to learn more, thanks to the patience and skill of the trainers running these courses. I am putting what I have learned so far in to practice before starting the next stage.

I can’t recommend them enough. The classes are friendly and fun too for all. These courses are a must for most dogs to be honest, not only do you learn a lot about them it’s also really important for socialisation and certainly helps you feel more confident with your four legged family member 😊

Just completed the 6 week puppy school, tremendous teacher, patient with extremely structured sessions. Time was never an issue as we always got over the allocated time. It was also nice to meet other pup owners. Highly recommend and will be back for the bronze course.

Our Tommy (Cocker Spaniel) did the Puppy Foundation and completed the Bronze award of the The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme. We were preparing for the Silver test when we had to move away from Abingdon for professional reasons. Great club, run by amazing and knowledgeable canine instructors! We had an amazing time, learned a lot and we made lots of friends.

We are very grateful that we have this service on our doorstep and have enjoyed using it, to better train the owners and of course the dog.

A very young English Springer Spaniel adopted us and we managed to get the Kennel Club Puppy Foundation Course done just before Covid struck. We felt that course massively helped socialise our fairly nervous dog and certainly gave us more confidence in handling him.

After a long Covid wait, we have now just completed the Kennel Club Bronze Test and again learnt a few things along the way, thanks to the patience and skill of the trainers running the course. We are currently putting all this into real world practise, before probably going to the next stage which is Kennel Club Silver.

Totally recommend this friendly outfit, and your own life will be improved if you can get to learn why your dog acts they way it does and what you can do to improve the way you live together. If any of you have seen the Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly TV programme, you will have seen many examples of how a neutral eye and a little training can help....

I can’t recommend them enough. The classes are friendly and fun too, for canines and their human parents. They are a must for most dogs to be honest, not only do you learn a lot about them it’s also really important for socialisation. They are not for profit so the fees are very reasonable. And their Christmas ’training’ session was the best party I’ve been to. The dogs had a great time too!

Have always had a great experience with the courses we’ve done and all trainers. Class sizes aren’t too big and is always a good atmosphere

We did the puppy training and the bronze certification and it was great! Really great trainers, especially for first time dog owners, 10/10 would recommend
