BTPDS is the perfect place to start your puppy's training and socialisation. We offer training classes, fun get-together sessions and even strolls in the local country park! All as part of our unique Advanced Puppy Path.
Our Puppy School classes are held at Knockin Village Hall, Oswestry, Shropshire (Mon), Maesgwyn Community Centre, Wrexham (Tues), Weston Rhyn Institute (Thurs) and occasionally at Black Park Community Centre, Chirk.
The UK Puppy School programme has been carefully designed to take you through all the essential puppy training needed to give a fantastic foundation for life . Puppy Club exists to provide a safe and secure place for puppy socialisation; Puppy Walks for out and about practice including off lead puppy training and Puppy Recalls allows more outside puppy recall practice. Our Puppy Pop-Ins are for the extra 1to1 training you need from time to time.

Our REACTIVE TO REASSURED work is one of our specialist areas. Karen Boyce begin learning about reactive dogs and how to help them back in the very early nineties, because of her own dog's reactivity. Since then she has become one of the busiest trainers across the UK. Helping owners with dogs of all sorts of breeds and all sorts of ages cope in the real world . We teach owners to understand how their dogs think, how they store memories, what effect hormones play, how important nutrition is etc.
Dogs who can't cope with the outside world, once their owners have had the pyschology of fear and learning, move on to our WALK and LEARN service. "Dogs walk, owners learn!"
The WALK and LEARN is also ideal for general issues such as recalls and walking on lead.
One on one specialist instructor training.
