Rochdale Online has teamed up with one of Rochdale's best known dog trainer, who works as an outside trainer for Greater Manchester Police, and can reveal the grueling journey from a cuddly puppy into a strictly trained criminal catcher.

Cath has started a weekly diary to give an insight into her job as a dog trainer for both GMP and Merseyside Police.

Opening times

NOTICE

Update:

As you are aware the infection rates still remain high so the school is remaining closed. However we do hope to open second week in February if infection rates fall significantly. I am doing one-to-one sessions where it is possible to  keep at a distance. Hope everyone is keeping safe. 

We no longer run the Behaviour Clinic. If your dog has a behaviour problem please Google Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors to find a qualified behaviourist to work with you.
 

The school is now up and running again. All dogs start with a 1-1 (£35) then go in to a class which is just £10 a session.

Give me a call on 07793019555 to book an initial appointment. If I am teaching leave your number for me to ring back 

HOWEVER
Please be aware that in the past we could always book people in within two weeks of contacting us but now with the catch up from Covid and the extra puppies around we are struggling to keep pace. The next appointemnts are tending to be a 6 week  waiting time so do book early.
