Puppy Foundation Course

Puppy Training Courses with Rachel – Matt Ager Pet & Gundog Training

I’m proud to run our Puppy Training Courses, designed to give your puppy the very best start in life!

I trained with Matt Ager for several years before beginning to run these classes, which I’ve now been doing for five years. I’ve trained my own dogs to competition standard in Working Tests, completed the IMDT 2-Day Career as a Dog Trainer Course.

These courses are hugely popular and packed with essential guidance, delivered in a fun and supportive environment. Just look at our own dogs—calm, happy, well-behaved, and enjoying lots of off-lead freedom… because they’re well trained!

What we cover:

    •    Loose lead walking

    •    Socialisation—the right way

    •    Recall

    •    Sit and stay

    •    General good manners

    •    Everyday behaviour

    •    Plus, time each week to address any issues you’ve experienced

We also set up a WhatsApp group for each class—great for sharing stories, asking for advice, and the occasional funny video!

I had some lovely feed back from a lady who has attended my puppy foundation and my advanced puppy course. She is continuing her training journey with me. 

“Rachel’s puppy training classes were excellent. They have completely changed my view on how a dog should be trained and what a positive interaction is between dogs.

When I booked I assumed this class would be similar to courses I have been on with my other dogs with the regular sits and stays but this class was completely different. Yes, it teaches you the basic sits and stays but it completely changed my mindset on how to interact with my puppy and what my puppy needs from me to become the dog I want her to be. 

Rachel’s knowledge and experience is obvious throughout the classes and she teaches with common sense rather than gimmicks or tricks.

I can’t thank Rachel enough for setting me and my puppy on the right track.

I am very much looking forward to continuing our training journey in the next advance puppy training course.”
