Live life with your dog

The Scottish Dog Trainer was established to support dog owners who understand that kind, ethical and force free reward based training is the modern and only way to train puppies and dogs.


Based in Stirling and covering central Scotland we offer group classes from new puppy right though to advanced, 1-2-1 training for puppies and dogs of all ages and backgrounds plus monthly workshops on recall and loose lead walking. 


A well-behaved dog is a joy to live with, and proper dog training helps ensure that your dog can participate in almost everything you do together. The Scottish Dog Trainer aims to set you, and your dog, up for success, prevent problem behaviours from occurring, and establish an everlasting mutually fulfilling relationship.


The Scottish Dog Trainer only uses scientifically proven reward-based ethical training and are passionate about the work that we do with dogs from all walks of life, be that puppy, older dog, or a rescue. Positive training methods will equip you and your dog with the skills for a successful and happy life, help overcome any behavioral issues that may arise, and ensure a happy family life for all. 


No matter which dog training route you choose, from basic training to advanced, one thing is for sure: You and your dog will develop an even deeper bond than you ever thought possible.

What to Wear & Bring

All you need to know

  

Group Classes – What to expect and what to wear!


All classes are a maximum of 6 puppies or puppies/dogs per class, this ensures that you both receive the absolute best attention. You will have your own station which includes a raised bed and a long line for training, these are hygienically cleaned after each class. There is a 5 metre distance between you and the next station to help with limiting distractions. Fresh water, poop bags and a mop are all readily available.


Please exercise your dog for 10 minutes prior to class, this not only gives them a toileting opportunity but helps reduce excitement levels. Please arrive and depart promptly and in a calm manner. There is a 15 minute window between classes to allow previous class to leave safely.

Please bring an ample supply and variety of treats or toys whichever your dog prefers.


 For puppies and younger dogs we recommend you bring a lick matt, chew or stuffed Kong that which will keep them content during advice and information stages. Your puppy/dog should be neither hungry nor overly full prior to class.


Puppires/dogs should wear either a flat collar or harness with a standard length lead. Rope lead, choke chain, halti and retractable lines are not permitted.
