Give your puppy the best possible start.
Our 8-week Puppy Training programme helps you build the skills you’ll need for real life together — recall, lead walking, focus, confidence and, importantly, a puppy who learns to listen to you even when the world around them is much more exciting!
Classes are practical, friendly and held outdoors at our Hedge End training ground, with puppy owners joining us from Southampton, Eastleigh, Fareham and the surrounding area.

“As first-time dog owners, the classes have been invaluable. We felt welcomed and supported from day one, and the training covers a fantastic range of behaviours. The online resources and weekly Q&A sessions have been incredibly helpful, and we’ve already progressed from Puppy Classes into Foundation. The best training school around!”

“Pongo really enjoyed his puppy training course and it definitely corrected some things we were doing slightly wrong. The classes were informative but also fun and the trainers are so helpful, bubbly and friendly.”
Stacie & Pongo
I do want to say what a great team you are at NDTA-clearly expert but you all wear it lightly
thoughtful and excellent teachers
plus the videos which are excellent and this online support
Ollie & Oshi
Fun and freedom work best alongside clear, consistent boundaries and good interaction with your dog.
We train outdoors because that’s where real life happens.
Your puppy learns around the sights, sounds and distractions they’ll encounter in everyday life.
We’ve been training dogs and their owners since 2010 and have worked with many different breeds.
Our Harmony Training approach combines fun and freedom with clear, consistent boundaries and good interaction between you and your puppy.
And because we know you can’t remember everything you’re taught in class, your support continues at home through our professional training videos and resources.

“Thoroughly recommend The NDTA. We felt welcomed and supported and the training is excellent, covering a good range of behaviours. As first-time dog owners, the classes have been invaluable. You get access to online resources — reading, videos and more — so if you forget anything from class you can easily go over it again. The weekly Q&A drop in is useful too. The best training school around! So grateful for the help and support of the team.”
