Expert Force-Free Puppy & Dog Training in Essex & Hertfordshire
Helping you raise calm, confident puppies and well-mannered family dogs through indoor classes, personalised support and 16 years’ professional experience with Guide Dogs. I specialise in puppies and young family dogs, focusing on early foundations that prevent reactivity and other common behaviour issues.
For new puppy owners, everything begins with a Perfect Puppy Phone Consultation – a one-hour call that gives you a simple daily routine, helps with biting, toilet training and sleep, and reserves your space in Puppy School automatically.
Begin with a dog training consultation so we can address the underlying causes of pulling, jumping, barking or recall issues before adding the challenge of a group class.
Prefer to learn in your own time? Online courses let you watch short, practical lessons whenever it suits you and revisit key exercises as often as you need.

Build a reliable recall using modern, reward-based techniques. Clear lessons that show you how to make coming back to you more rewarding than the environment.
“Excellent one hour phone consultation. Heath is incredibly knowledgeable and gave plenty of useful information to help me train my puppy. Thoroughly recommend. Thank you!”
“We had a 121 chat with Heath yesterday about our new puppy Duggie — it was amazing! So much information imparted in an hour, my head is buzzing with things to do to make Duggie’s training a success. Heath is very enthusiastic and helpful and we already feel much more confident.”
“I had my 1 to 1 phone call with Heath today — as someone with anxiety he was so easy to talk to and immediately put me at ease. I didn’t feel like I was the problem like most dog trainers suggest, and he had answers for every single question. So helpful.”
