Dog Trainers

Talk to the Paw

As a member of the CAPBT, Clair is one of Bristol's leading behaviourists and trainers. She works with dogs with behaviour problems, specialising with dogs who are reactive to other dogs. Behaviour consultations are on vet referral basis. Clair's puppy classes are run in Mangotsfield and Henfield and her level's classes concentrate on creating connections between the owners and dogs as well as teaching dogs valuable life skills. Workshops and short courses are run in specific areas such as recall, scent-work, impulse control, clicker skills and rally obedience. One to one home visits and training is also available.

Krazy K9's

Jenny runs her puppy training classes in Kingswood and they are they talk of the town! Jenny and Martin have been working together for over 10 years now. She has a wealth of experience and we are often on the same wave length when it comes to judging a dogs character and establishing whether the behaviour has a medical component.  As well as running puppy classes she also runs other classes and walks and adult training is available in private or group lessons.

Contact Jenny ASAP if you have a puppy - she is very busy (popular) and it can be difficult getting your puppy into a class that is most suitable for him/her. The first 20 weeks of their lives is vitally important for socialisation..
