More about dog trainers in Chelmsford
One to one sessions are the most common way to train here, offered by more than half of the trainers, and several can come to your home. A handful offer residential training, where your dog stays with the trainer for a stretch of training.
Just over half describe their methods on their website. Most of those say they train force-free, which relies on rewards rather than corrections, and a couple describe a balanced approach. For the others, it's worth asking how they work. Wagtails Doggy Day Care has the highest BarkScore here, at 4.6, followed by Puppy Potential - Dog Training at 4.5.
