How to train your dog The Battersea Way

22 Jun 2023

As lovable as they are, training dogs can be hard work!

Since 2020, we have been running online training classes led by our expert Canine Behaviour and Training team, supporting owners and their dogs as they learn Battersea-recommended techniques. We’ve seen over 1,000 dogs and their owners attend our classes and while these have been a valuable resource in helping owners, we've decided to redirect our focus and resources toward areas where we can make a more significant impact.


One of these areas is our Behaviour and Advice Line, which offers personalised support and guidance to pet owners. By concentrating our efforts here, we believe we can provide even more effective support to those that need our help. 


We appreciate the dedication and hard work that has gone into delivering our online training sessions and are confident that this shift will allow us to better support both owners and dogs and cats.
As well as our Behaviour and Advice Line, we still have our training videos with our expert staff and tips in our free pet care guide, which pet owners can be directed to.


If you have any questions about this, please contact dog.behaviour@battersea.org.uk or call 020 3887 8347. Or register your interest below so you can be the first to hear if we launch any new classes or additional support.
