About The Surrey Dog Training Company
Helping Dogs and Owners Thrive Since 2014
Founded in 2014, The Surrey Dog Training Company has been helping dogs and their owners build stronger relationships through ethical, reward-based training. What began with puppy classes and dog walking has grown into a comprehensive range of training services designed to support dogs at every stage of life.
Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, navigating the challenges of adolescence, addressing behavioural concerns, or looking for a fun activity to enjoy with your dog, we offer expert guidance tailored to your individual needs. Our services include puppy foundation training, life skills classes, one-to-one training, behaviour consultations, and a variety of popular dog sports including Agility, Hoopers, Scent Work, and Mantrailing.
Our training is rooted in modern, science-based methods that prioritise your dog’s welfare and emotional wellbeing. By using positive reinforcement and ethical training techniques, we create enjoyable learning experiences that build confidence, strengthen communication, and develop a lasting bond between dog and owner.
Based in Surrey, we provide one-to-one training and behaviour consultations throughout the local area. Our group classes are held at convenient venues in Lower Kingswood and Banstead, offering a welcoming and supportive environment for both dogs and their handlers.
We are passionate about helping every dog reach their full potential and empowering owners with the skills and knowledge they need for lifelong success. Whatever your goals, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We are available Monday to Saturday, 9am–5pm, and are always happy to answer any questions via email or Facebook
