Puppy Behaviour Classes

"I cannot recommend Barkleys enough! We started the puppy classes with our 2 pugs and they have been a god send! We have gone from unruly not listening pups to pups that now will sit when I just look at them! They have done so well from learning to sit all the way through to whistle training. Anyone with a pup or two get yourselves booked in! You won't regret it!! Abbie has been a great instructor and has always been on the end of the phone if we had any questions or problems"

"Attended puppy training classes with Abbie. Would highly recommend these classes. The classes were fun, informative and Abbie was always available to answer questions during and after the classes. Susie loved Barkleys and has had her induction for day care! Thank you so much"

"We took our Cocker Spaniel to the puppy classes and it was amazing. Abbie was super helpful and informative. We learned all sorts from sit, down, leave it, spin, drop it, 'middle', to the beginnings of whistle training which has been important and helpful for us. I really recommend this training for any puppies"

"My Ridgeback puppy attended puppy training with Abbie. I was worried how he would mix with other dogs given his size but this was not an issue at all. Arnold has learnt so much in these sessions and made some great doggy pals. I would highly recommend. The trainers are all on hand to help and give extra support where needed. Homework is given to help further embed the learns from the group sessions. Cannot wait to see how much more Arnold grows with this skills he has gained. Thank you to all involved especially Abbie"

"Our 5 month old Rottweiler Heidi, really enjoyed her four week puppy behaviour course and was made to feel very welcome. Abbie taught us using clear instructions and was always on hand to offer advise or tips. Heidi has been taught a lot after 4 weeks here and managed to pick it up quite quickly, the homework and support on the what's app group helped too! Heidi loved the socialisation with the other dogs too, there was plenty of space for them to interact and the training was the perfect group size"

"On week I my wuss of an English Bulldog pup (10 months) had to be dragged into the class, by the last week he was so excited when we drove in the car park. He loved all the interaction with the other dogs and we both learnt loads. The staff are all lovely and if we were struggling Abbie always had suggestions on how to persuade even the most stubborn dog (of mine) to do what is told. An added bonus is the WhatsApp group for the class so Abbie is always on hand for advice. We will definitely be putting him into daycare in the new year and will be booking some of the other workshops. Abbie you definitely haven't seen the last of Rocci!"

"Told my 6 month old Miniature Dachshund to the 4 week puppy training class here and loved every minute of it! Abbie is an absolutely amazing trainer and she makes sure to dedicate time to come round and see each of us individually and give us advice if we're struggling or suggestions on how to move forward and progress, she is super knowledgeable and knows a lot about specific breeds, like my clingy little sausage. I have left every session feeling more confident in what I am training my pup to do and feeling like I am doing what is best for her, especially being a first time dog owner! Also met some other lovely pups and had an opportunity to socialise with them all. Would recommend to anyone, amazing class and perfectly priced!"

"Stanley, our 8 month Cavapoo, has just completed the puppy training course. Kris was extremely knowledgeable and always happy to give extra help/suggestions when needed. Would recommend this class to everyone"

"We have just completed the puppy behaviour course with our 4 month old Cocker Ronnie!! Abbie & Jay made us feel so welcome and very normal when Ronnie had his crazy moments! Abbie was so informative and patient during the classes, she was also on hand over message whenever we needed. The classes were a perfect balance between training and some fun for our playful boy! We've learnt so much, Ronnie has really taken to the training and will definitely be back to the academy for more classes!"

"We did the March puppy behaviour course with Abbie and it's such a good course, loads of knowledge and you can keep in touch and ask questions whenever you like, such a fun course and Abbie's lovely! Would deffo recommend"

"We have just graduated from our first puppy class, gutted that it's over but we will definitely be back for future courses. Our trainer Kris was fab, so friendly and clearly knows his stuff. We have graduated with a confident puppy who has loved learning in such a relaxed environment. We were given feedback and help and support whenever it was needed, nothing was too much trouble for Kris - even when we forgot our treats!!"

"We have just completed our puppy training course. We would highly recommend as instructions were clear and easy to follow. Rewarding your dog in a positive way is definitely the way we like to train our dog. Thankyou Abbie. Whinney the whippet had a great 4 weeks there xx"

"We did the puppy behaviour class for June and honestly we could not recommend a better place. Abbie, the amazing trainer, was so lovely and helpful if you had any questions or issues; Suki has really enjoyed the past 4 weeks here at Barkleys Dog Training Academy and we can't wait for her to join some more classes soon! Thank you so much"

"Just finished the puppy behaviour course with our Irishdoodle. What an amazing place always on hand to answer questions, give advice, training videos sent each week for us to practice at home too. Always happy for us to bring our children along to learn the training too. Would 100% recommend to anyone."

"We couldn't recommend this place enough. Our beautiful Hope graduated from the puppy behaviour course and Abbie the trainer was fantastic. We can't wait until we book some more courses. This is the place to go if you have any fur babies"

"We took our puppy Penny for the 4 week puppy training course and it was brilliant. Abbie the trainer was really helpful and explained everything so well. Would definitely recommend."

"We have just completed the 4 week puppy course with Abbie and it was fantastic. The content each week has been fab, Abbie is so knowledgeable and we have seen a real difference in our pup since we started !! The communication and support in between classes was also spot on!! The classes were relaxed and fun and we were super happy to be able to include our young son in the training I highly recommend and already looking at the next workshops to book onto !! Thank you Abbie"

"Can't rate Barkleys highly enough. The staff were all lovely - Abbie was absolutely brilliant can tell how much she loves and cares about the dogs. Really easy to sign up for the course, lovely little goody bag given on day 1. Taught different techniques for training puppies- there was one particular action my puppy was struggling to pick up but Abbie was great at suggesting alternative method to try which worked wonders. Abbie would show us as a group then come round the room so everybody got one to one support. Feel like we learnt a lot and Frankie loved meeting all the other dogs and all the fussing from Abbie. Will definitely be back for more training as she gets a little older! Thanks"

"We have just completed the 4 week puppy school with Abbie and another of your other lovely trainers, Jay. The classes have been amazing and we have taken so much away from them. Abbie was always on hand to give us general advice and tips and tricks (such as freezing food to make it last longer, life saver!) and both trainers were an absolute dream with our little pup. Would 100% recommend to everyone looking for a puppy class."
