“Took my 9 month old springer spaniel . He had such a great time. The area was clean, access to water and poo bin on site. He had lots to do including tunnels, which he loves. It's a very secure place. Great if you are still training recall.”
Thank you for another great testimonial!
We love the Doggie Play Field Too 😍

🐕Teach your dog to follow your instructions like a pro!
If you want to build your bond with your dog and reduce the embarrassing, unruly outings, join our Foundation Classes 🐶
We all want a puppy or dog that listens and follows instructions most of the time. If they don't, it can be frustrating and embarrassing
Like anything in life, training takes time and commitment. If you want good results, you need to dedicate time to it and be consistent, which isn't always easy for people with busy lives, but it's worth it!
We love training for 5 minutes at a time, so when you wait for the kettle to boil, the adverts are on the TV, or you find yourself with a few minutes to spare.
Find a low-distraction room, and have your treats ready and practice!
Not only does practice make perfect, but it also makes permanent ❣️

“First visit today and it was fantastic! The field is beautifully maintained, spotless, and clearly well cared for. There’s so much for the dogs to explore, they had an absolute blast running around and sniffing everything. We all left happy and tired (the dogs especially!). Can’t wait for our next visit!”
We enjoy seeing your wonderful reviews!

Nosey Barker Ltd was founded by Kim Kaye who has worked with dogs for over 10 years. Kim along with her husband Ryan are passionate about delivering friendly, fun and successful training.
At Nosey Barker we understand that not all families want to compete at Crufts in showing, agility or obedience, but we also know that families do want a well-mannered dog that they can enjoy spending time with. For over 10 years Kim has worked with dogs and in this time she has learnt that building a strong bond between a family and a dog is key to a successful relationship. It is this knowledge, experience and training that forms a golden thread throughout the school and has become the Nosey way.
We are proud to use reward-based methods to train every dog, but this doesn’t always mean using food or treats. Just like with humans there can be a variety of rewards that can encourage a repeat behaviour, perhaps shoes, holidays, money, a hug or praise. This scientific approach has been proven as effective and far less likely to lead to any behavioural problems.
Our group classes are mainly taught at our outdoor location where the dogs are able to get used to all the normal distractions they would encounter when out on a walk with you. We call this real-life training, we coach you to be able to connect with your dog and ask for appropriate behaviour when out and about in your community. One of the reasons our success rate is so high is because we offer small group classes; puppies and beginners have a maximum of 6 dogs and all other classes a maximum of 8. This means everyone has some individual time with our qualified trainers and are able to ask questions specific to their dog and their life.
Sometimes our canine pals need a different type of support to group classes, we are pleased to help you with private tuition and behaviour modification. We have a team of experts that are qualified and passionate about improving any difficulties you and your dog may be facing.
At Nosey Barker we take learning very seriously and are proud to continue to train and use the most up to date, scientific and kind methods. We are proud to host like minded trainers, behaviourists and leading professionals offering continual professional development to dog enthusiasts and professionals alike.
