Dickson Dog Training

The key to a happy relationship with a dog is motivational training. We at Dickson Dog Training apply a variety of kind and motivational techniques to build a lasting and loving relationship between you the owner and your dog. Our training will enable you to modify the behaviour of your dog to suit your needs whilst creating and nurturing a wonderful partnership for you and for other members of your family with your dog.

The sessions are designed to achieve the desired outcome step by step, and each session is backed up with clear handouts enabling you to follow the guidance at home and practice with your dog at your own leisure.

Dickson Dog Training offers behaviour consultations and training advice for a wide range of dog training requirements in Cheltenham and the surrounding Gloucestershire area. Dog ownership should be enjoyable and we aim to provide you with the knowledge to be able to get the most from your pet. Training can be provided on a one-to-one basis or classes with a maximum of nine dogs per class.

Whatever your circumstances we can meet your specific needs, either in our facilities or the comfort and convenience of your own home. For more details, click on Training Types.

Dickson Dog Training was founded in 2004 by Wendy Dickson. Wendy trained at Bishop Burton Agricultural College where she studied a foundation degree course in canine behaviour gaining a HNC with distinction.  Wendy’s true love of dogs began at an early age and continued throughout her life with her true love being border collies, these included Emma, Darcy, Lou Lou, TJ, Paddy and Drifter.  Wendy competed successfully at obedience, flyball and agility, she was part of the Prestbury Park team who won Crufts flyball in 2007.  Her passion for dogs showed in her successful ability to

help train many dogs and their owners to understand a happy partnership.

Wendy was not only a business partner she was a true best friend and

I will be eternally grateful for her belief, trust and confidence in me

to carry on her great work.

Sadly, Wendy passed away in August 2012 after a long illness.
