What to Look for in a Dog Trainer in North West England
North West England is home to a wide range of trainers, from puppy class specialists to behaviourists working with reactive or anxious dogs, with options spanning busy city training venues in Manchester and Liverpool to quieter countryside and fell-side spaces in Cheshire and Cumbria. When choosing a local trainer, look for recognised accreditation (such as ABTC or IMDT registration), confirm they use positive, reward-based methods, and check whether they offer group classes, 1-2-1 sessions, or both. Reading recent reviews from other North West dog owners is one of the best ways to judge whether a trainer's approach will suit your dog.
How Much Does Dog Training Cost in North West England?

Our company is a force-free trainer using science-based methods to train animals. This means we don’t use fear, intimidation or punishment to correct unwanted behaviour, nor do we advocate the use of choke, prong or e-collars. Our own dogs are trained using humane methods and positive reinforcement and include elements of clicker training and shaping. All training is done using your dog’s regular flat collar and lead, or harness and lead where appropriate.
After each session, you’ll also be sent a personalised training plan for your dog. This will be in the form of a recap of topics covered, actions discussed, and how to progress after the session. This will help you to recall the highlights of the session, and ensure everybody in your household is following the same guidelines around your dog.
Training sessions can cover any topic you wish, but please be aware that we do not offer a behaviourist service and cannot advise on subjects such as health and nutrition (you should seek advise from your vet/a nutritionist respectively) or behaviour problems such as reactivity or resource guarding.

Hello all! I’m Olivia, a dog trainer who’s lucky enough to have spent the last six years helping dogs and their families feel happier and more confident together.
I’ve worked with over 1,500 dogs now, and I still get giddy every time I see the difference we can make in dogs and guardians lives. Puppies can be hard work, and having a reactive dog can be super draining, but me and my amazing network of fellow professionals are here to help.
I specialise in puppies and reactivity. Our small puppy classes (held in Bramhall on Saturdays) are geared towards calm and confident puppies you can take anywhere, and we have maximum five pups and three trainers for a very hands on experience.
