Puppy & Dog Training Services in

Swindon, Cirencester and Surrounding Villages

Whether you’re starting out with a new puppy, supporting an older dog or building on existing skills, I offer a range of structured, reward‑based training options designed to support you and your dog every step of the way.

All sessions take place at our secure indoor and outdoor training facility in Swindon, with access to Wagtails Secure Dog Field available to Puppy Fun & Games clients. It’s the perfect space for extra practice, play, or quiet decompression time — and you’ll receive a special discount as part of your training journey.

Group Classes

If a group class is what you’re looking for, we’ve got something for everyone. All of our classes are kept small so you and your dog get plenty of personal attention and feel supported throughout your training journey. Whether you’re starting with a new puppy, building on your existing skills, or dipping your toe in with a focused workshop, you’ll find the right fit here.

Puppy Classes

For puppies aged 8 to 20 weeks. Build calm, confident foundations from the very start. We focus on settling, focus, early life skills and helping your puppy feel safe and supported as they learn about the world.

Puppy classes are held indoors in my safe, clean training barn, making it the perfect environment for puppies from 8 weeks once they have had their first vaccination.

Growing Skills

For pups who have graduated from Puppy Class or any dog aged 6 months and over. Progress your training with clear, practical skills that build confidence, connection and everyday reliability.

Growing Skills classes are held outside in the secure fields, where dogs can practise real life skills with more space and movement.

Workshops

Our workshops are short, focused training sessions that concentrate on one skill at a time. They are friendly, practical and suitable for dogs of all ages, whether you want to boost recall, improve loose lead walking, or explore the exciting sport of Hoopers.

Workshops take place outside in my private secure fields, giving dogs plenty of space to move, learn and explore in a calm, supportive environment. Dogs attending workshops need to be happy working around other dogs so everyone can learn comfortably and confidently.

Personalised support for dogs of any age. If you would like focused help that is tailored to you and your dog, one to one training gives you the space to work on exactly what you need. These sessions are calm, supportive and shaped around your goals, whether you are building everyday skills, supporting a young dog, working through specific challenges or exploring Hoopers in a relaxed, individual setting.

1 to 1 Training

Personalised support for dogs of any age.

If you would like calm, focused help that is tailored to you and your dog, one to one training is a lovely option. We work gently together at your dog’s pace, building confidence, everyday skills and clear communication in a way that feels supportive and achievable.

These sessions are also great for families or people who work shifts who need flexible times, and for dogs who are not comfortable around other dogs or would simply benefit from a quieter learning environment.

1 to 1 Hoopers

Hoopers is a gentle, low impact activity where your dog learns to move through hoops, around barrels and through short tunnels using calm guiding and clear communication. It’s suitable for dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages, making it a lovely way to build confidence, focus and connection while having fun together.

If you would like to explore Hoopers without the pressure of a group class, one to one sessions offer a calm and enjoyable way to learn the foundations. We work at your dog’s pace, keeping everything supportive, achievable and tailored to their needs. This option is ideal for dogs who are not comfortable working around other dogs, people who work shifts, or anyone who prefers flexible, individual learning.

Facilities

I’m based in a private, safe and secure location with both indoor and outdoor spaces, giving us complete flexibility depending on the weather and your dog’s needs. The indoor training barn is clean and ideal for young puppies who may not be fully vaccinated, offering a controlled environment with fewer distractions so they can learn calmly and confidently. Sessions are tailored to the age and stage of each dog, with the outdoor area providing space for movement and gentle exposure to real‑world distractions when they’re ready.

Support

Throughout your course, you’ll receive e‑handouts and a reminder of what we covered after each session, so you always know what to practise at home. There will be a little homework too — short, fun games that build your dog’s skills and confidence between lessons. You’re also welcome to contact me on WhatsApp between sessions if you have any questions. I’m here to support you and your dog every step of the way.

Availability

Lessons are available Tuesday to Saturday, during the day or evening, making it easy to find a time that fits around shift work, school runs or busy family life. Just get in touch and we’ll find a slot that works for you.
