Reward-based dog training and behaviour services There are classes for puppies and older dogs new to training, intermediate and advanced.

Abbey Dog Training provides training classes for dogs and puppies in Swindon, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. We incorporate obedience, a little bit of fun agility (jumps and tunnel), and some trick training into all of our classes. We also offer puppy home start visits, home visits for training older dogs, and home visits for behaviour problems including aggression and separation distress.

Me and Teddy thought it was going to be horrible weather today, so we planned our 'rainy day' box. When I say 'rainy day', it also comes out when it's too hot, too cold, too windy, or any other great British weather you can think of!

Sniffing and licking is really calming, and it's tiring too, so Ted will sleep well today 💤🐕

What do your dogs do for activities at home?

Well, I received an email just a couple of days ago - and isn’t this just the loveliest way to finish off a fantastic year at Abbey Dog Training?!

Justine reached out to us for some help when she had rehomed Snoopita from Greece.

She had (quite rightly) allowed a few weeks for Snoopita to just settle in, but was now looking for some help with recall, and building on their relationship together.

This is what Justine had to say:

“I just wanted to share with you how fantastic our experience of training with Kamila has been. We learned so much more than we could have ever hoped. Kamila did so much to help us to understand our little Snoopita’s world and to try to make sure that whatever we ask of her is done through her eyes.”

“It has been the most fun and happy time and we hope to sign up for some more training with Kamila in 2025!”

Thank you Justine! You made our day with that email! You see, positive reinforcement works on trainers too. 😉

Happy Christmas everyone (or just Happy Holidays if you prefer!).

Rachel & the team 😊

I'm happy to say that we have been busy with pups coming through in November and early December - before Christmas.

And now the next pups are coming in January.

Some have already booked their "Pre-Puppy" session. Online with me to ensure that you get off to the best possible start - even before you bring the puppy home.

Very few coming over the manic Christmas period - which makes me happy for the pups!

One of the many things we discuss in Part 3 (Puppy Super Stars) is adolescence in dogs. It can be a very tricky time for dogs, and therefore for the dogs owners.

You are likely to see some changes in behaviour, and some of your previously good training will go backwards! It's normal! But it doesn't make it easy.

We are here to help. You can contact us at https://abbeydogtraining.co.uk/contact-us/

Here are two of our recent Puppy Super Star Graduates - Pippa and Maverick 😍🐕

Pippa most definately hit adolescnce during Part 3! So she is taking a little break now with her fabulous owner. And we are here to support them if needed.

Maverick has moved on to our weekly membership classes. He likes to be busy, and really enjoys his weekly sessions with us!

Bertie became a 'Puppy Super Star' this weekend! 😍 Olivia worked so hard too - I feel she needs a graduation cap! 🎓🥳

Olivia sent me this picture. How cute is Bertie? 💓

For reference, the rosette is normal size - Bertie is tiny! 🥰

This weekend I (Rachel) had a grand total of 14 dogs who graduated from their Part 3 "Puppy Super Stars"! (Obviously not all in the same class 😱😂)

Congratulations to all of you. You really are Super Stars! 🥳⭐

Now, I'm afraid I'm a bit rubbish at taking photos! And even if I did, I wouldn't know how to create a montage like Brans! 😍

I love how he's checking the small print 😂

Here is what Helen and David had to say:

Just wanted to send a big thank you for the brilliant training sessions . It's been by far Branston Pickles favourite activity of the week and he is very pleased you have done such an excellent job in training his humans - although that's still a work in progress 😅

We had a few graduations yesterday - yes, we do work on Bank Holiday weekends when required!

So here you go, have a bit of cuteness to round off your weekend! Here's Pippa 😍

EDIT - Rufus' owners just sent me their graduation photo too! (Plus a photo bombing opportunity for Riley!)

Here's a triple dose of Bank Holiday Cuteness now!! 😂

Lauren and Peppa 'Selfie'😍
I love this team!

Our Sunday morning online class continues to build bonds with owners and dogs, but for different reasons!

Peppa enjoys her training at home, and even though Lauren is a Mum of 2 young children, she always makes time for Peppa to do some fun stuff on Sunday mornings! It's totally Peppa time!

Lottie lives a little too far away, so Amy enjoys a once a week online 'get together', and some training (when Lottie is up for it!). As an adolescent (Lottie, not Amy😂) Lottie often needs to take a rest. So training from home works well for her to take a break, exactly when it is needed.

Shadow would prefer to not be around other dogs at close proximity, but she loves her training sessions! So the online class on Sunday morning is perfect for her!

So many good reasons why we do what we do for individual dogs, and we do it well!

Look how happy Maverick is that he graduated from Part 2 of the puppy programme at the weekend! 🥳👏👏👏

He sent me an email eariler to say he can't wait for Part 3 so that we can show him just how clever he really is! 😍

Big shout out to my Sunday morning class who completed Part 2 of the 3 part puppy programme yesterday. Luna, Bailey, Maverick and Bran. 🥳

And here is Bran (Branston Pickle!) showing off his certificate in his graduation uniform 😍

All 4 dogs are booked for Part 3, so I wonder what Bran will wear for his next photo???

Due to incredibly high demand for puppy and adolescent training, I apologise that I might not be able to get back to you as quickly as I'd like to at the moment.

I still aim to answer all enquiries within 2 - 4 days. Even more reason to get in touch sooner rather than later with puppy enquiries!

But please be patient if you haven't heard back from me. I'll be working on it!

If you're awaiting a booking confirmation, I'm working on that too!

Here's a picture of a cute puppy to keep you going.

Say hello to Winnie 😍
