Empowering dogs and owners with positive reinforcement training and helping to build long lasting behaviour change, focused on strong, happy relationships, fun training plans and realistic, down to earth advice
Training is about more than just teaching a dog to sit. It is about helping your pet navigate the human world with confidence. Many owners struggle with pulling on the lead, poor recall, or general over-excitement. These issues are common but manageable with the right approach.
At Down to Earth Dogs, we can offer individual sessions around Kent, covering Sandwich, Deal, Dover, Thanet and Canterbury. We can also offer virtual sessions, meaning we can help you wherever you are in the world! We have a range of packages to suit every need, and you can book a free 15 minute chat to see if we are right for you.
Whether you have just brought home your first puppy, adopted a rescue dog or are even thinking of adding a dog to your life, we are here to help you feel supported, prepared and confident.
Support is available for all the basics of puppy ownership.
-
House training and creating a reliable routine.

Preventing biting, mouthing, and destructive chewing.

Calm socialisation techniques for the local environment.
By working in your own home in Deal or Dover, your puppy learns in a familiar setting without the distractions of a busy class. This personal approach ensures the training is relevant to your specific lifestyle.

What we can offer
1-2-1 Dog Training
The first few months of a dog's life are the most important for their development. Setting a high standard early on prevents common issues from becoming ingrained habits
Recall and Walking
A dog that pulls on the lead or refuses to return when called limits where you can go and what you can do together. These are the two most common reasons owners seek help.
Separation Anxiety
Problems that occur inside the home often impact the entire family. Separation anxiety, excessive barking at the door, or guarding resources like food and toys can make life difficult.
