Our puppy and pet dog training classes near Evesham and Pershore
Search for Evesham dog training or Pershore dog training and you will find a lot of promises about perfectly behaved dogs.
Most people are not looking for perfect.
They just want life with their dog to feel easier.
The lead pulling every walk. The dog launching through the door. The recall that works until something interesting appears. That does not mean a stubborn dog. It usually means no one has shown them how to live alongside us yet.
Our puppy and pet dog training classes near Evesham and Pershore are designed to teach exactly that.
Classes run at Kemble's Field, Charlton, WR10, just outside Evesham. A dedicated training facility with fenced private fields and an indoor rubber-floored barn. A calm, controlled space where dogs can actually think, rather than being overwhelmed in a crowded hall or a busy park.
Training is led by Sam Negus, an ABTC qualified Animal Training Instructor, known for clear coaching and realistic expectations that fit normal home life.
Sessions focus on loose lead walking, recall, settling, and handling. The skills that make daily walks and ordinary routines feel manageable.
The training follows the structure of the Royal Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, the largest dog training programme in the UK, running from Puppy Foundation through Bronze, Silver, and Gold. But classes are not run as test preparation. The focus is always on the dog in front of us.
Build calm first. Build connection. Help the dog understand how to work with their handler rather than react to the environment.
Work. Reward. Recover.
Because tired is not the same as calm.
Puppy classes near Evesham start that process early. Young dogs learn to pause rather than rush, check in with their handler, and understand that calm behaviour works. Those early lessons shape the dog that grows up.
Pet dog training classes then build on that foundation, developing the everyday skills that make life together work.
For those who want to go further, the Good Citizen assessments are there. But the certificate is not the goal.
The goal is the dog you live with. One who walks with you rather than dragging you. Who checks in. Who can settle when nothing exciting is happening.
