Living the Dream?
What did you dream of when you first got your dog? Peaceful walks? A calm, confident and happy canine friend?
At Arun Dog Training, we can show you how to set your dog up for success and turn your dog struggles into strengths
with our strategies and 3-minute training games. And by the way, that does not mean your dog has to love playing with toys.
So, is the training just a bit of fun, without results? Nope! It’s actually based on scientific research that shows your pet will learn more effectively if the training is fun.
We use kind methods only (positive, rewards based training) that will boost your relationship with your dog.
Dogs of any breed, age and experience can benefit from our training.
FUN TRAINING, SERIOUS RESULTS!
Your trainer
I’m Heather Sanderson IMDT, Founder and Trainer of Arun Dog Training. My family and I share our lives with Bella, a re-homed Irish setter x Border Collie.
I have been to several different training classes with Bella, with some success and some rather embarrassing moments too. Once, early on in our training journey at an obedience class, Bella jumped onto a windowsill to steal the teacher’s bag of liver sausage!
I became a certified dog trainer in 2018 and have learned from a variety of training providers. I am a Full Member (accredited) of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and I have been awarded 'Approved Dog Trainer' status by The Dog Training College. I've helped train hundreds of dogs.

"I can thoroughly recommend the puppy training with Heather. I gained a better understanding of a a puppy's behaviour and learned strategies of how to deal with the issues such as jumping up and mouthing. Heather is very friendly and the groups are small (only 4)."

"We went to Heather with one goal. To teach our new puppy to have great recall. To say she delivered is an understatement! Pepsi has the best recall we’ve ever seen! Slams on the breaks to return as soon as we use the magic word. We’ve also learnt a bunch of other great tips and strategies to keep our crazy dog calm and happy. We’d highly recommend Heather any day."

Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my puppy need to be to train?
Home is a great place for your puppy to start learning the behaviours you DO like, so you can prevent those doggy behaviours you will want to avoid such as separation anxiety, jumping up and excessive mouthing and biting. Home 1:1s are great for puppy training from any age. You can start your training before your puppy is fully immunised and even before you bring puppy home so that you have the knowledge and confidence to get off to a great start from day one (and night one!)
For our puppy classes - ask your vet practice when it will be suitable to start.

Arun dog training was very helpful for me with my cocker spaniel puppy. I fully recommend Heather and the games she has taught us have helped so much
Christine
Thank you so much Heather for your help with Charlie my Goldendoodle puppy ... you could always be reached for help by email or phone and your information and videos have been invaluable. The games have really helped and they are fun to do.
I fully recommend Heather and Arun Dog Training.

I have got a rescue dog named Dillon. After 3 months of having him, I made the decision to help him. He was extremely anxious, also nervous of the outside world, even the garden. Then we found the Amazing Heather, do not hesitate using this Lady, we would not be where we are now, without her. Dillon is now very happy in the garden, car, walks, and absolutely still loves his training games .... you also get lots of support from her... do not hesitate you will not be disappointed. Thank you Heather for helping us with our Dillon.
