Our 121 puppy training classes in your own home are designed to give you and your puppy the skills they need for everyday life. We understand that getting a new puppy can be overwhelming, and we want to make sure that you have the tools and knowledge you need to be successful.

We also offer a variety of fun and educational games that will help your puppy learn and grow while giving you the basic understanding of dog behaviour so that once their training is complete you can trust them to make responsible decision on their own.

Tom is very friendly and wants to give the right training. I’m going to train my Goldendoodle as per Toms ‘s advice and see how we get on. We should see a difference in 3 weeks if we keep to the training schedule. Thanks Tom for starting us off on the right track.

Tom is a proverbial dog whisperer par excellence. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My Yorkie puppy, Tommy (both April 29, 2023), was very co-operative during Tom's sessions, while I learnt a great deal about dogs I didn't previously know! This has all been invaluable in understanding Tommy's behaviour, which has made training him a pleasure.

What a blessing to find Tom to walk Toby our 9 year old Corgi. Such lovely updates & photos after every walk. Toby is happy so we are happy!

We received absolute top one to one practical training from Tom at our house, focusing on calming control and disengagement to prevent excessive barking. Very informative, positive and loads of fun for both our dog Skye and us! Would highly recommend Tom to anyone.

My dog was nervous due to not liking men so she was a bit timid but Thomas did know this and understood this and was very reasurring to me and my dog he had very good knowledge and understanding and he was very good at explaining things to me and making sure that I understood the instructions
I would highly recommend him if you would like/require a dog trainer

Really great trainer. Easy to get on with, very clear, explained the rationale behind things, my dog settled very quickly with him, and started making progress almost immediately. Very pleased. Thank you.

What is concept (pro) dog training?

Imagine sitting kids in a candy store and expecting them to do algebra after one explanation!
First, take the distraction away, then teach basic maths, make it fun. With time and patience, they will get there and improve their problem-solving skills. With our puppy training we focus on the skills required whatever life may throw at them.

Remember your teachers, those who taught you in a fair and calm manner, remember who treated you badly or didn’t enjoy their job. Those emotions are real, just like how you learn in a positive and calm manner so do dogs. Which teacher would you rather be? Here at Scentastic Dogs we offer training that if fun for you, your dog and anyone else that would like to get in on the action.

Get in touch today see your dog owning dreams come true.

Do puppies need socialisation?

The good news is most puppies born to a normal sized letter learn all the required understanding between 5 to 8 weeks with their litter mates and this means when they arrive at your home, they already know not to hurt other dogs, what a play bow is and what a yelp means. However, they may not have the skills to put their knowledge into practice for a wider range of dogs or a understanding that just because there’s a dog nearby they don’t necessarily want to play with them or how to do it appropriately.

Included in the 4-week puppy training course is how to seek permission to play with another dog and not to eat food off the floor. Rather than assuming it is their right.
Teaching your puppy the ability to disengage from play if either dog or owns decide it is time to stop.
Teaching your puppy the ability to choose a more appropriate energy level of play / meeting other dogs and people.
Lastly, the best ways social your puppy.
