Welcome to bright puppies
Would you like your puppy training to be a fun, engaging and enjoyable experience whilst strengthening your bond with your puppy? I will help you feel relaxed and confident with an exuberant young puppy at your side.
With my extensive knowledge and experience, I will advise, guide and provide you with continuous support. I provide a clear, simple and comprehensive training programme that covers all aspects of your puppy’s development to help your puppy grow into a calm, confident and well behaved companion.
My training plans will emphasise your dogs unique temperament and breed specific activities to create a plan just for your dog and specific circumstances.
Alternatively you can choose an hour or a few hours training for a specific training requirement for your dog or for a general advice.
I offer training for puppies from 8 weeks old upwards, as well as for adult dogs.
I also offer a dog walking service to suit dogs of all ages, abilities and personalities. Make sure you dont miss out on them.
I am excited to meet you!
Puppy Training & Socialising Classes
Focus, Fun and Friends
Come and join our puppy classes for fun filled learning and socialising for you and your puppy in a small, relaxed group setting. During these classes, we will show you how to teach your puppy all the basic essential skills, socialise and play with other puppies so that they become confident, well balanced and happy dogs.
We hold these classes outdoors as this is the most natural and optimal environment for your puppy to learn (just don’t forget to bring your wellies and raincoats ☔️ ). Although it is in a public place it is in a quiet area and we have a playpen for small size puppies to play off lead. 😃
Trying to remember everything from an hour long class can be hard, so we feel it is important that you are not left alone between the weekly sessions. Ongoing support (via WhatsApp or email) between classes is included as part of the puppy training programme should you need some further pointers to help you and your puppy reinforce the skills you learned during the previous classes.
At the end of each class, after the puppy play we also have a Question/Answer time with a hot cup of coffee or tea and tired puppies chilling next to us. ☕️ 🐶 💕
Our classes include the following:
- Basic commands such as sit, down, wait
- Name response
- Eye contact
- Impulse control
- Recall
- Loose lead walking
- Handling
- Settle
- Not jumping up at people
- Tricks and games

Our training philosophy
We only use positive reinforcement techniques to make learning enjoyable for both you and your puppy
We work with you and other family members to develop a personalised training plan tailored to your dog and families unique needs. We will teach you and your dog positive reinforcement techniques.
This is a method that focuses on rewarding desired behaviours to encourage their repetition. This approach is humane, effective, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
Positive training is not only about teaching commands but also about building a trusting and respectful relationship with your dog. By focusing on rewarding good behavior, you encourage your dog to repeat those actions and create a positive learning environment.

Kat
From a very young age I have been passionate about dogs. Some of my most wonderful experiences have involved dogs. Running, hiking, meeting other dogs on a walk or sitting in a cafe or a restaurant with a calm, well behaved dog is a true joy that enhances life experiences. I have trained all of my own dogs, experiencing the joy and frustrations of watching them grow and develop into delightful companions. I have also helped and advised many of my friends and their puppies as a hobby.
Having worked for over 20 years as a nurse in Accident and Emergency, I am now able to follow my lifelong passion for dogs by becoming a qualified dog training instructor and being able to help others train their dogs.
Dogs are wonderful, loving, intelligent and sensitive animals and with proper training, patience and communication with your dog, they will become delightful well behaved companions for you.
Different breeds have different attributes and it is important that your dog is encouraged to develop in accordance with the specific needs of their breed.
Our dogs develop so rapidly during their first 2 years of life, and at times test our patience. It is important that you put in the time and effort during these 2 years so that you have a calm, well balanced and happy dog that loves being with you. Your patience, consistency and calmness during this time will be rewarded with a wonderful companion dog and years of fun and joy.
I would love to be able to support you and your dog through these early stages of your dogs development and be there to guide you through this time. 💕.
Tayka
Tayka is my three year old Jackapoo.
She is a lovely, gentle obedient dog trained in pet therapy for children and disabled people.
She loves dogs, people and being stroked. She has a natural, calming manner with other dogs.
Tayka has helped the training of other puppies with social skills and bite inhibition through play. She can also help with anxious or shy puppies to increase their confidence around other dogs.
I can bring Tayka for a training session to help with socialising and demonstrating obedience and behaviour skills if we consider it to be beneficial for your dogs training. She may also accompany me for some of group walks occasionally.
Inka
Inka is my young German Shepherd. She is a wonderful, fun loving, gentle young dog that is extremely friendly to all dogs and people.
Inka can help your puppy to become comfortable and familiar with larger breed dogs in a calm and controlled environment; an option available to you should you wish.
Kat's Qualifications
I have worked my career as a nurse in A&E in fast moving and quickly changing environment. I have thoroughly enjoyed my work there. I have an enhanced DBS and safeguarding check continuously updated.
I have completed the National Dog Training Academy Dog Training Instructor Certificate programme.
I have also completed a Diploma in Dog Communication, Dog walking and Dog First Aid.
I am fully insured for dog training and dog walking. The safety of your dog is a paramount of importance to me, hence I only walk a very small group of dogs any one time.
