What to Look for in a Dog Trainer in the West Midlands
The West Midlands 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 Birmingham to quieter countryside spaces in Shropshire and Staffordshire. 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 West Midlands 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 the West Midlands?
Pricing in the West Midlands tends to sit close to or slightly below the UK average.

Your Compassionate Dog Trainer
07376 061314
I only train a dog with kindness. I do not judge for previous training methods used, so long as you are committed to learning the right way. Punishment based training might seem like a "quick fix" for a certain behaviour, but it simply causes a lot more unrelated behaviours to develop and will damage the bond with your dog. Training with kindness is scientifically proven to be the most effective way to train a dog out of any undesirable behaviours and to teach desirable behaviours. There is no place for punishment based training.

All About The Dogs Stafford
Baswich Ln, Stafford ST17 0BY
+447368454656
We may be ‘All About The Dogs’, but we love all animals, no matter the age, size, breed or species! We just originally started with dogs.
All About The Dogs originated as a dog walking and sitting business in Manchester whilst the founder Charlotte and her partner Sean were attending university, which quickly grew over the 3 years we were operating in the area. All About The Dogs closed in Manchester whilst Charlotte was conducting her research masters in Malawi, Africa. Following her Masters, Charlotte then went on to become a dog training coach at Dogs Trust Dog School. This allowed her to expand her knowledge and grow as a trainer.
All About The Dogs then reopened the dog walking services in Stafford in 2023, which has had an overwhelming amount of support and a wonderful sense of community has been created. We then started our training services by helping current customers with 1:1 training sessions, but have now opened our training services to the general public with 1:1 training sessions, online training, group basic training courses and progression classes.
