Training and Classes

We generally run as 4- 6 week courses. Class numbers are small to allow for individual attention as well as a relaxed, informal stress- free environment. Our aim is to ensure the classes are fun for dogs and their owners. Alpha trainers use the most modern behavioural techniques to offer the very best in training for puppy or older dog alike. We are a Kennel Club listed organisation running The Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme. Find out how you can start your puppy on The Puppy Foundation Scheme or take part in The Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.

Puppy classes - Don’t leave it too late! Puppies learn incredibly quickly and these classes are designed to allow them to build confidence and social skills with adults, children and other puppies in a controlled environment as well as learning all the basics of training. Puppies need to be 18 weeks or under at the start of the course – but the earlier the better! Class numbers are restricted. However families are encouraged to come along - so children of school age and above are welcome!

Graduate classes – These classes are for dogs which have already taken a puppy or beginners course with an Alpha group. Further skills, tricks and individual training goals are the focus for this course.

The Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme - This branch of Alpha training offers owners the chance to work towards The Kennel Club Good Citizen Award scheme. There are three levels Bronze, Silver and Gold.

One-to-one training – Need help in your home or can’t get to training class? New puppy and need some extra help and guidance before starting a puppy class?  New older dog and needing some reliable advice on how to start training? One-to-one training is offered for owners in most areas of South West London. These sessions are tailored to meet your individual needs. Please contact us for more information.
