Passionate about dogs

What sort of a relationship do you want with your dog?
Rewards Dog Training can help you right through from those early days with your pup and beyond so that you can have the best start possible to build the relationship you want.
But it’s not all about pups, sometimes owners need help with those ‘teenage’ and ‘senior’ years too! Ask how we can help you to live in harmony with your dog.
