Does your dog or puppy display behavioural problems?

Best Buddies can help you build or restore the relationship between you and what should be your ‘best friend’

We teach you how to change the behaviour of your dog.

Learning more about your pet’s behavioural needs, its ancestral pack mentality, its motivations for behaviour in our world, and how to read its body language will enable you to understand your pet better.

We provide affordable, flexible dog training packages, whether in the home or at group classes.

Best Buddies provides you with:

Dog and puppy obedience training
Dog and puppy behaviour modification
Dog behaviour assessments
New puppy advice
Single or multiple one to one training sessions
Dog obedience and socialisation classes
Puppy management and socialisation classes
Telephone support service available

Home training sessions

During the training session we discuss the issues you are experiencing with your dog, explain the reasons for the behaviour and work with you on practical exercises to assist you in modifying your dog’s behaviour.

The training and advice often produces results very quickly, but it will take time, consistency and commitment to maintain and build on the improved behaviour.

Dog and puppy training classes:

Dog obedience and socialisation classes: consist of small group 6 weekly sessions. We prefer to conduct small group classes so owners and their dogs can have quality individual time with the trainer.

Puppy management and socialisation classes: consist of small group 4 weekly sessions. Puppy classes consist of no more than 6 puppies at a time so we can give the maximum time and attention to owners and their puppies. Puppy classes are suitable for all breeds once puppy vaccinations are completed.

Classes are conducted in Derby and Nottingham area only

Please call for dates and venues if interested in classes.

Please note: If your dog has behavioural issues a home visit may be needed first although some minor behavioural issues are addressed in the classes.
