Puppy Training

Welcome. At The National Dog Training Academy, we understand that the bond between you and your puppy is special. That’s why we’ve developed a puppy training programme, unlike any other – a place where fun meets effectiveness, and giving you the support you need. We understand how scary, overwhelming BUT exciting, owning a new puppy can be.

We’re with you every step of the way.

Not only are we here for your initial puppy training, but you can choose to stay for many months or even years to come. We’re here when you need us.

No Nag Puppy Training Methods

The NDTA puppy training is a very tried and tested programme and it is one of the things that has made us multi-award winners, every year, over the past 12 years. We refer to our training as ‘no nag’ because we try to save our commands for back up and emergencies. Training a puppy or dog is about teaching pup, kindly and effectively, the good behaviours we want, so they do this naturally, much of the time..

Supporting you in your Puppy Training

We want to be sure that you get the support you need. Our team have a range of breeds of dog of varying ages. Some that came to us as pups and some that came to us as rescues.

The team, as part of their ongoing training (which we are very committed to), attend classes with their own pups and dogs (including Sandra), so we all get an understanding for how the customer feels in a class. That means we recognise you might be a little nervous or anxious, especially on week 1, despite the excitement of bringing your new pup along to class.
