dog training based in Chelmsford, the heart of Essex, we cover all surrounding locations

modern, kind and effective dog training methods

Thank you for visiting our site. I’m Penny and like many of us, have been around dogs all my life and simply couldn't envisage life without them.

When I began dog training in the Eighties, it was a world of harsh training methods, choke chains and Barbara Woodhouse ruled the roost.

Thankfully today good dog trainers and behaviourists (including me!) use modern, kind methods, based on positive reinforcement not punishment. Resulting in a fantastic relationship with your best friend based on trust and mutual respect; not fear.

We cover Chelmsford, Basildon, Brentwood and all Essex.

I provide 1-2-1 bespoke coaching, tailored to meet the needs of you, your family and dog. I use clicker training - a quick, fun and extremely effective training method.

Here are some of the services I offer for you and the dog in your life:

For your peace of mind I have a Canine First Aid qualification, Full Police Disclosure Certificate and we also have specialist insurance for Custody, Care and Control of your dog.

Wow! What a transformation in our 16 week Cockerpoo, Macy. No more nipping, biting or jumping up and answers and comes to her name. Penny 'the doggie whisperer' is absolutely amazing. Brilliant is an understatement, incredibly knowledgeable and totally clever lady! Thank you!

Penny is amazing! In the two sessions we had with her, our loveable but misbehaving Boxer, Stevie, has learned to come when called and will stop on command even when he sees other dogs! At the first session she took the time to discuss all parts of Stevie's life and her recommendations meant that from the very next day Stevie was already better behaved. I would recommend Penny 100%.
