Adolescent Dogs has been established since 2005 and believes that every dog, person and situation is unique. All training is provided by highly qualified team members who have different areas of expertise, including dog training, dog welfare, psychology and behaviour problem solving.
We offer a wide range of services including group classes, one to one lessons, handling dogs with problem behaviours and aggression, the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, fun classes and various remedial workshops. We teach both indoors and outdoors and continually adapt our methods to suit individual requirements.
Our methods are kind, fun, highly motivational and effective with all handlers encouraged to 'think' dog!
You will always be offered a warm welcome to our classes and one to one sessions alike. Whatever breed of dog you have, you will benefit from the help and support from our experienced and friendly instructors.
We are proud of our reputation built up over the years as a top quality, professional dog training school and are frequently recommended as 'the best in the area' by Vets, kennels, groomers and dog owners who have personally been to our classes.
Location
We are based in the beautiful Surrey-Hampshire countryside with easy access from: Guildford, Godalming, Woking, Farnham, Farnborough, Aldershot, Alton, Fleet, West Byfleet, Basingstoke, Bracknell, Epsom, Leatherhead, Portsmouth, Reading and London.
