Positive Puppy & Dog Training in

Swindon, Cirencester and Surrounding Villages

Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here. Puppy Fun & Games is a gentle and supportive training space where you and your dog can learn, grow and understand one another. I work with families in Swindon, Cirencester and the surrounding villages, focusing on building confidence, calm and connection — always using kind, reward-based methods.

Kind, Reward-Based Training

My name is Claire, I am a certified and fully insured local Dog Trainer and an Accredited Canine Hoopers UK Instructor. I believe that training should feel good for both you and your dog. By using positive, reward-based methods, we create learning that is enjoyable, encouraging and rooted in trust. This approach helps your dog build confidence and make good choices, without pressure or overwhelm.

We train for a fun time, not a long time!

A Gentle Approach That Builds Confidence

Every dog is an individual, and I always take things at a pace that feels right for them. Whether your puppy is energetic, shy, excitable or still learning about the world, I’ll help you support them with calm guidance and thoughtful practice.

Support for Puppies and Growing Young Dogs

I offer small, friendly group classes as well as personalised 1-to-1 support. Together, we’ll focus on everyday life skills — such as calmness, recall, lead walking and settling — with an emphasis on communication, connection and understanding.

Small, Friendly Classes and 1-to-1 Support

My classes are kept small so you and your puppy feel comfortable and seen. One-to-one sessions offer more personalised guidance if you prefer private support or would like focused help with specific skills.

My Why

I know how overwhelming it can feel when walks are stressful, social situations seem impossible, and training feels like an uphill battle — I’ve been there. Living with a sensitive, reactive, and fearful dog taught me first-hand how challenging it can be, and that experience continues to shape how I support both dogs and their owners.

That’s why I’m committed to positive, force-free, reward-based training that helps dogs feel safe, confident, and happy. Whether you’re building confidence, improving recall, or strengthening your bond, my small group classes and bespoke one-to-one sessions are designed to be engaging, effective, and stress-free.

I’ve trained with COAPE, Dog Training College, Canine Principles, Spirit Dog Training, and more — and I’m always learning, refining, and evolving. Helping dogs thrive and seeing owners grow in confidence is what drives me every day.
