At Pooch’n’Friends, our number one goal is to provide a fun, supportive environment for your dog to learn essential skills. Our dog training classes and events cater to dogs of all ages and skill levels, offering group courses for puppies and beginners alike. Based in West Lothian, we make it convenient for local pet owners in Armadale and Bathgate to join our events and help their dogs build confidence, learn social skills, and master obedience.

At Pooch’n’Friends, we offer private, one-to-one dog training services tailored to your dog's unique needs. Whether you're working on improving behaviour, mastering specific skills, or simply strengthening your bond, our 1-to-1 sessions and training walks provide the focused attention your dog deserves. We also offer canine hoopers, a fun and engaging activity that promotes physical and mental stimulation.

Training Walks

If you're struggling to find enough time to dedicate to your dog's training, our Training Walks might be the perfect solution. The program starts with a detailed consultation form. During our Consultation meeting, which includes you, me, and your dog 👩‍🦰🐶👩, we'll create a plan to reach your goals. From then on, during our next sessions I'll work with your dog 🐶👩 towards our training aim, until the last, Hand Over meeting, during which I'll go over all the training with you and ensure you're confident in how to keep it up and make progress 👩‍🦰🐶👩😊 Our Training Walk programs start at £330 for 8 sessions over 4 weeks. Payment plans available. The Bronze Training Walks program: eight sessions (👩‍🦰🐶👩 first Consultation + 🐶👩six walks + 👩‍🦰🐶👩 Hand Over) over four weeks. Silver Training Program: 10 sessions Gold Training Program: 12 sessions. The Program`s length can be tailored to your requirements.

One to One Training & Behaviour Advice

Our 121 sessions involve working together to address issues you may be facing with your pooch. It's a collaborative effort between you, me, and your dog 👩‍🦰🐶👩. To begin, we'll have you fill out a detailed consultation form, which we'll go through during our first meeting. We'll then create a plan that fits your specific needs, and you'll work on it between our sessions with the help of ongoing support from me. We can schedule one session a week or a fortnight, as most of the work is done by you, the dog guardian, under my guidance 😊❤️ Our 121 Packages start at £160 for 3 sessions over 4 weeks.
