Looking for puppy classes in Thatcham?
We know many Thatcham families searching for puppy training start by looking for local puppy classes. We work differently. We offer private, one-to-one sessions in your own home, so your puppy learns in the environment where the behaviour actually needs to happen — not a hall or a neutral room.
This gives you the same outcome you want from a class (a well-mannered, confident puppy) without a fixed timetable or the distraction of other dogs and unfamiliar spaces during their early learning stage.
How It Works
Free Discovery Consultation
Every new client starts with a free discovery consultation at your home. We'll assess your dog's needs, discuss your goals, and put together a tailored training plan — no obligation, no pressure.
Training in Your Environment
Sessions take place in your home and local walking areas around Thatcham, so we're always working in the environment where the behaviour actually happens.
Ongoing Support
We'll give you the skills and confidence to continue training between sessions, so progress keeps building long after we're done.
What Thatcham Clients Say
"The progress we saw was amazing not just in my dog's behaviour, but also in my confidence as an owner. Anthony explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I felt comfortable continuing the training on my own. You can tell he genuinely cares about dogs and wants both the dog and owner to succeed. If you're looking for a dog trainer who is reliable and skilled, I would 100% recommend Anthony."
