Dog Training Classes
Join one of Harlow's most experienced instructors for ethical, evidence‑based group dog training. Our classes focus on connection, confidence, and practical skills, helping your dog stay responsive even around other dogs.
With expert support and a friendly atmosphere, you’ll build stronger communication, deepen your bond, and enjoy a training journey that genuinely makes a difference.
Let’s build the skills that make life easier, for you and your dog.
We offer a range of flexible options so you can choose the best way to join our Harlow classes. Sessions run in two beautiful locations Harlow Town Park and The Gibberd Garden, both offering peaceful, spacious environments that make training feel enjoyable for you and your dog.
You’re welcome to start with a pay‑as‑you‑go session to see how your dog settles in. Most owners then move onto our class memberships, which are the most popular way to train with us and give you consistent support week after week.
If a membership doesn’t quite fit your schedule, we also offer a 4 class package you can use anytime within 3 months, perfect for a little extra flexibility while still enjoying regular training.
Our agility sessions take place in the beautiful, fully enclosed The Adventure Bark field in Much Hadham. This stunning 7 acre space is home to all our agility training, plenty of room to run, play, and learn in a safe, secure environment. Agility is booked in 6 week packages, giving you a consistent block of training to settle in, build skills, and watch your dog grow week by week. It’s a relaxed, supportive setting where dogs can stretch their legs, try new things, and celebrate every little win along the way.
