I can’t recommend Angela enough, she has fantastic knowledge and is so friendly and patient. My dog become very reactive, barking inside and outside at everything that went past. Within a week of seeing Angela there was a drastic improvement and now it has stopped altogether. Even outside of training sessions, Angela suggested so many activities that have made my dog so much calmer and easier to settle. Thank you so much.
I had a great experience with Progress Dog Training . Angela were knowledgeable, patient, and used positive reinforcement techniques that really worked. My dog made amazing progress in just a few weeks. The classes were well-organized, fun, and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior!
I’ve been really impressed with these dog training classes! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and Angela is incredibly patient—not just with the dogs, but with us humans too. What I really appreciate is how the trainer takes the time to explain why we’re doing each task, which helps everything make a lot more sense and makes it easier to apply at home. Angela also really understands that every dog is different. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here, which made me feel like my dog’s individual needs and personality were taken into account. After each class, my dog is both mentally and physically tired—a sign of a great class. I’d definitely recommend these classes to anyone looking for a positive, knowledgeable, and effective dog training experience.
Angela is brilliant at what she does. We have learnt so much from the courses we have done so far. She is very knowledgeable and patient and clearly has an amazing understanding of dog behaviour and how to train in a fun and positive way. Our dog absolutely loves the sessions! I can't recommend the courses enough for anyone who has a new pup!
Excellent traing course I Would recommend it for your dog .

I really couldn’t recommend Lamorbey dog training enough. From my first phone call with Kathryn to our visit from Stephen. Stephen was amazing with our puppy toffee and was so patient as he was a little nervous to start off with. It was amazing to see how passionate he was and cared so much for the dogs. The tips and tricks he has given us have been amazing and toffee loved learning them. We will definitely be booking another session when toffee gets a little older. Thank you for putting our minds at ease! 🐶
Steve came to our house to train our Husky Pup Thor, he was lovely, really enthusiastic! Engaged with Thor really well & demonstrated basic skills for us to continue our training with him. Thor definitely enjoyed his time with steve & we enjoyed learning with him. Would highly recommend Lamorbey from the 1st phone call they have been very friendly & really helpful! Definitely 5 stars from us!
Steven was great with giving us some tips with how to get started on managing our dog Bonnie! We are now following this plan and will see how things go!
Could not recommend Lamorbey Dog Training enough, from initial consultation with Kathryn to our first session with Stephen they are honestly the loveliest people. Our dog Bryanie is an overly excited Bully Cross and we were shocked how well she listened to Stephen and his training technique. We will be following advice further and I believe this will help her so much! I am looking forward to our second session to develop baby Bryanie further. 5* all round!
Stephen was amazing, we learnt more about Milo’s behaviour in the 2 hour session than we could have thought possible. Understanding why Milo behaves like he does allowed us to manage issues we previously struggled with. Would definitely recommend!

I contacted Jules because my Shih Tzu was displaying reactive behaviour. I’d consulted two other trainers but I felt like they hadn’t addressed the problem in the right way. As soon as Jules came in she identified that fear was behind the reactivity and explained it was about changing his mindset. She got us straight on the right track to dealing with the issue. I like how she uses positive reinforcement at all times. I now feel more confident when we are out walking and when visitors come to the house. Jules explained that improving reactivity is a long journey, but I can already see we are on the right road. Jules is friendly, informative and personable and always on hand to answer questions and help with anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
We had 3 intensive sessions with Jules from LEADing the Way with JFJ and they've been hugely helpful. My dog is 4 so had picked up some habits & anxieties around larger dogs. Walks were starting to be really difficult as he was reactive towards dogs that came up to him. Jules explained everything very simply, taught us some manageable tools to build into our routine & I started to see change after just 1 session. She's helped my dog to calm & respond to my instruction, helped build my confidence to support my dog when in a tricky situation and shared a very detailed report after each visit so I can easoly refer back if I need. I would.have no hesitation in recommending & wish i had done this 1:1 training when he was much younger. Thanks so much Jules 😊
Jules is brilliant, and really helped us get prepared for the arrival of our first baby - talking us through and demonstrating useful techniques to make sure our beautiful golden retriever would feel the least disruption possible. Would highly recommend!
I was having problems with my sprocker spaniel being reactive to certain dogs . Jules has excellent training techniques and although it’s a working progress I am seeing results already! Lovely lady and is brilliant with dogs . I would definitely recommend 😁
Jules came recommended to us and has been a huge impact on our training and household. We started with a few 2 hour sessions and trusted her with our puppy while we were away. We got back a greatly trained puppy. She’s patient and helped us with many areas. Lots of pictures, videos and updates while we were away. Couldn’t recommend more

Natalie is a caring, professional dog trainer/walker. She was more than happy to accommodate me, working round my hospital/physio appointments. She arrived on time and walked the dogs for the full time - in some cases more. She was mindful of the temperature and adjusted walks accordingly - either to early morning or evening, whichever was better for me. I have no hesitation in recommending Natalie and, I’m sure if my dogs could talk, so would they!
We met Natalie on the Pet house sitter group on Facebook when she commented on my post looking for a new Dog walker & sitter. We met up when Natalie came to our house to meet the boys, and we took an instant liking in her and I think the feeling was mutual! She loves our boys and even when we're away a bit longer she takes our boys with her and make sure they're okay. The boys are always happy with her, gets spoiled with treats and ice cream. Our pup is a handful but for some reason - very well behaved with her! We're so glad we met Natalie, we trust her with our boys and we can go out in peace without worrying about them. We get lots of photos in between too to see what the boys are up to! Thank you Natalie and we hope you will keep looking after our boys.
We’re so grateful to Natalee for both the telephone and in-person consultations she provided. She took the time to really understand our goals for our puppy and what we were looking for in a trainer. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made us feel confident and supported. We’re looking forward to continuing our work with her to give our puppy the best possible start.
I was recommended Natalie through a friend for training my 1 year old lab who has terrible recall. After a bad experience with another trainer i was hesitant to try again. She is so patient and her training style worked perfectly for us. I now also use Natalie to walk and practice his recall and sit my fur baby regularly. I like that he is only walked with two other dogs and is cared for and he gets lots of fuss. I love the pictures and updates she sends I get and she always goes out of her way to help me out last minute. She is a polite and friendly lady and her love of dogs shines through. Very happy to find a business I trust. Thank you very much Natalie

I am not sure what we would have done without Steph. There is so much information online and we were going from trying one thing to the next. Steph was really clear and answered all of our questions, and gave us a set of specific training methods to follow. They all worked really well, and we will be going back to Steph if we have any issues as our puppy goes into his teenage months! Thanks so much Steph for helping us during a really stressful time with a very energetic puppy.
Very professional
Finding skilled dog trainers in Bexley connects you with professionals who understand the distinctive needs of this historic South East London borough. From training puppies in the leafy surroundings of Danson Park to managing reactive dogs along the Cray Riverway, our certified trainers deliver personalised obedience training and behaviour modification programmes designed for Bexley's suburban environment.
Serving areas including Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling, and Crayford, we've successfully trained over 2,800 dogs across DA5, DA6, DA7, DA14, DA15, and DA16 postcodes. Our local expertise addresses the unique aspects of dog ownership in this green borough, from navigating the Broadway Shopping Centre to enjoying off-lead walks in Foots Cray Meadows.
Bexley's character as one of London's greenest boroughs creates specific training opportunities and challenges. With extensive parks including Danson Park, Hall Place Gardens, and Lesnes Abbey Woods, dogs have abundant space for exercise, but this also means frequent encounters with other dogs, wildlife, and families, making proper recall and socialisation essential.
The borough's predominantly residential nature, with many semi-detached properties and housing estates, means dogs must be well-mannered in community settings. Our trainers specialise in addressing challenges unique to suburban living, including garden boundary behaviour, postman reactivity, and adapting to the mixture of quiet residential streets and busier areas like Bexleyheath town centre.
Our puppy programmes focus on the critical 8-16 week socialisation period, introducing young dogs to Bexley's suburban environment including local parks, shopping areas, and residential streets. Training covers house training, crate training for family homes, basic obedience commands, and controlled socialisation at locations like Danson Park, building confident, well-adjusted dogs from the start.
Bexley's numerous open spaces make reliable recall training essential. We develop solid off-lead reliability despite distractions in popular areas like Foots Cray Meadows, Old Bexley, and the extensive grounds of Hall Place. Training ensures your dog responds immediately even with wildlife, other dogs, and picnickers present, allowing safe enjoyment of the borough's natural spaces.
Using positive reinforcement techniques, we address leash reactivity, territorial barking in gardens, and fear-based responses. Training in real-world environments like the paths through Lesnes Abbey Woods and streets near Bexleyheath Station helps dogs learn calm behaviour, replacing reactive responses with focus and self-control in everyday situations.
Dog training in Bexley typically costs £45-80 per hour for private sessions, with 6-week packages ranging from £300-550. Group classes cost £15-25 per session, offering good value for basic obedience training. Specialist behaviour consultations start from £70-100 for initial assessments.
Danson Park offers excellent open spaces for recall training, while Hall Place Gardens provides varied environments with managed distractions. Foots Cray Meadows and the Cray Riverway offer quieter training locations perfect for nervous dogs or early-stage training, with woodland paths and riverside settings ideal for building confidence and control.
Basic obedience training typically requires 6-8 weeks of consistent practice, with most dogs showing noticeable improvement within 3-4 weeks. Behaviour modification for reactivity or anxiety issues usually takes 8-12 weeks, though severe cases may need 3-6 months. Puppy training delivers best results when started between 8-16 weeks during the critical socialisation window.
Professional dog training in Bexley creates well-behaved companions perfectly suited to this green, family-friendly borough. Whether you're in Bexleyheath, Sidcup, or Welling, expert training ensures your dog thrives in both quiet residential areas and busy community spaces.
