Welcome to PROUD DOG

Your trusted dog trainer, based in Ashtead, Surrey.

Your trusted dog trainer

At Proud Dog we focus on ethical, positive reinforcement based training that’s fun, accessible and improves the bond you and your dog have together, all while fixing those less than ideal behaviours causing you stress.

Whether it’s a brand new puppy, a rebellious adolescent, or an adult dog needing guidance, I can help.

Recall

Why is it that your dog is the perfect student, until that lead is unclipped? Do you find yourself having to scream into the void in the hope they’ll hear you and come back, or chase after them as they take off after another dog. I can help with that.

Loose Lead Walking

You want a relaxed walk but your dog is acting like they were an olympic sled puller in another life. I can help you and your dog to take it down a notch (or ten!), to make walks more enjoyable.

Jumping Up

Is your dog an overly enthusiastic greeter to you and your visitors? I can help make sure all four paws stay on the floor, whilst still giving your dog the attention they crave.

Foundational Skills

Sit, down, stay, touch, settle, leave, toilet training and more. Got a new puppy, rescue dog, or just want to teach your dog something new, whilst having fun together? It’s never too late.
