Dog Training in Bristol
ACE-accredited coaching, a short drive from the city
If you’re looking for dog training in Bristol that’s kind and effective, you’re in the right place. We’re a short drive from the city, around half an hour from the centre, at our specially designed coaching centre in Hunstrete and at Tilley Farm near Bath.
Plenty of our clients come to us from Bristol and the surrounding areas. They make the trip because of how we work, not because we’re the nearest trainer on the map. We use ACE (Animal Centred Education), a force-free, kind and reward based approach that looks at the whole dog, not just the behaviour in front of you.

Why Bristol owners travel to us
There’s no shortage of dog trainers in Bristol, and for some things the closest class or trainer will do the job. But if you’ve tried that and something still isn’t clicking, or you’d rather start with a dog trainer who takes the time to understand your dog properly, the drive is worth it.
We keep our sessions calm and unhurried. We watch how your dog moves, what they’re telling us, and what’s going on underneath the behaviour, then we build from there at a pace that suits them. It’s a more considered way of working, and it tends to suit owners who want to get it right rather than get a quick fix.
