About The Surrey Dog Training Company

A little about us

The Surrey Dog Training Company was set up in 2014 offering puppy classes and walking. Now we offer a range of group classes from Puppy foundation skills to fun agility, Hoopers, scent work and additionally, we also offer 121s and behaviour consultations. 

Our training is based on proven ethical science-based methods, which makes learning for your dog fun & enjoyable, keeping them motivated which in turn helps build a strong bond between dog and handler.

We are based in Surrey but will travel for 1:1 and behaviour consultations. We have 2 locations for group classes, either in Lower Kingswood or Banstead Surrey. 

We can be contacted Monday – Saturday 9am to 5pm or please send us a message through email or Facebook anytime and we will respond as soon as possible.
