About The Hound Spot
Jen and Naomi have over 10 years experience training dogs between them. We are dedicated to providing a convenient and effective way to train your dog with positive, reward-based methods to build a relationship of trust and respect between you and your dog. We are passionate about supporting you and your dog through your training journey. Any learning process can involve ups-and-downs, so having a supportive trainer alongside you is invaluable.
Our training programmes are designed to give you the knowledge and skills you need to continue your journey with your dog, but we are always here to offer ongoing support.

What we do
Does your dog bark at other dogs?
Is your dog a nightmare with visitors?
Are your walks stressful and frustrating?
Do you wish your dog was better behaved?
At The Hound Spot, we can help you with any training or behavioural issues, using force-free, positive training methods, which are proven to be effective and produce long-lasting results.
Our methods encourage problem-solving, making dogs happier and more confident. This strengthens the bond between dog and owner, fostering trust and cooperation. Unlike aversive methods, our approach avoids punishment, preventing conflict and confusion. Instead, we guide dogs to make better choices, leading to good behaviours and stronger relationships.
