Over the years we have had the pleasure or working with and getting to know some local dog trainers in Taunton and Bridgwater. I have attended classes from all of the trainers on this top recommended list and they each get a massive recommendation!
SWAT – Somerset West Agility Training
Located in Pawlett near J24 of the M5. If you’re looking to start up with your dog or are looking for a new place to train, SWAT is a great group to be involved with. I have been a member for a number of years and run Brody and Maya in classes. Toni, Jo and Tash are fantastic teachers. It is a great way to bond with your dog, teach them something new and tire them out! SWAT have a real sense of community and everyone and their dogs are friendly and welcoming!
Catherine Tomlinson
Catherine and her team are great for puppy training or the next level up. We have been using Catherine as a family for years. The aim is for dogs and puppies to learn new things using positive reinforcement techniques. Catherine also does house visits for anyone struggling with behavioural problems with their four legged friends!
Paws4Teaching
Jo is another trainer who is great for puppy training or the next level up. I have attended many training classes she’s held and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her for my own dogs in the future. Again, the aim is for dogs and puppies to learn new things using positive reinforcement techniques. Jo also does fun classes such as scent work, hoopers and Dog Club! Also a great person to get in touch with if you are having some behavioural issues no matter how big or small!
