ABOUT
Welcome to Chalkie’s School for Dogs!
We’re passionate about helping dogs and their owners build strong, positive relationships.
Whether you’re struggling with loose lead walking, seeking to strengthen your bond with your dog, or want to create a calm and well-behaved puppy, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
OUR STORY
A Lifelong Love of Animals and a Deep Passion
At Chalkie’s School for Dogs, we believe that every dog deserves a chance to succeed, and every owner deserves a calm and confident pet.
Our journey started with a lifelong love of animals and a deep passion for understanding canine behavior. After experiencing challenges with our own dogs and seeing the incredible transformation that proper training can bring, we knew we wanted to help others build better relationships with their furry companions. Since then, we have dedicated ourselves to helping dogs of all breeds and ages become well-behaved, happy companions.
Our name, Chalkie, comes from our beloved childhood dog, a loyal and intelligent companion who inspired us to pursue dog training. His patience, playful spirit, and unwavering devotion showed us the true potential of a well-trained dog, and we carry his legacy forward in every training session.
Our Approach
We offer a positive, reward-based approach to dog training that is effective, enjoyable, and based on mutual respect. We understand that every dog is unique, which is why we take the time to tailor our training programmes to suit the specific needs of each dog and their owner. We aim to build strong, trusting relationships that lead to long-lasting behaviour changes.
At Chalkie’s School for Dogs, we specialise in:
- Loose Lead Walking: Helping you and your dog enjoy stress-free walks.
- Bonding with Your Dog: Developing a positive, trusting relationship with your dog.
- Creating Calm Puppies: Ensuring your puppy grows into a calm and confident adult.
We are based in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, and proudly offer dog training services across the Cotswolds, including North Somerset, Stroud, and surrounding areas.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide expert, compassionate dog training that strengthens the bond between you and your dog, while helping both of you thrive. We aim to ensure every dog has the tools they need to become a well-behaved, happy companion and every owner has the skills and confidence to guide their dog.
