Dog Training in Folkestone

Our Dog Training in Folkestone services are one-to-one, in person training sessions with our Head Trainer Laura Doherty. Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks and adult dogs living in Folkestone or the surrounding areas.
Sessions are tailored specifically to your individual dog, your training goals and your family’s lifestyle. Laura will work with you to help your dog learn to be happier and calmer.

Training Case Study
‘Laura worked with my puppy Cocker Spaniel Truffle over a few 1:1 sessions and all I can say is wow and thank goodness for Laura – my personal dog whisperer. Truffle is a lovely lively bouncy dog and being a first time dog owner I didn’t always know what I was doing. A combination of those two things meant that walk times could be stressful and I probably wasn’t enjoying my dog as much as I could. Laura worked with us on calming down, listening, following commands, and reducing anxiety levels in public spaces – and that was just me!
‘She is such a patient and professional person. She combined technical, behavioural and dog theory training in every session – showing that her advice and suggestions come from a thorough background of experience and expertise. Because of her I know what signs to look for in my dog, I understand how to exercise, entertain and develop him and I know how to handle him when we meet other dogs, go to loud distracting places and when we are home alone and I need to wear him out with training and mental agility. Thank you Laura!’
