Pure Dog Adventure Training
Professional dog training near Darlington UK
We’re not like other trainers.
Every dog and every owner is seen, valued, and supported, whether they’re gentle and curious or lively and fearless.
We focus on engagement, challenge, and meaningful activity — giving dogs the chance to think, move, and learn in ways that suit them, and owners the tools and support to enjoy every moment.
Every session is dynamic, inspiring, and full of opportunities to discover new skills.
Some dogs were never meant to be ordinary.
Here’s to the big feelers, the barkers, the bouncers, the opinionated, the sassy, the wild cards, and the “extra” ones.
Here’s to the calm, the thoughtful, the steady, the quiet, the careful and the ones who take life at their own pace.
We don’t fix dogs, we meet them where they are.
We celebrate the chaos, the quirks, the brilliance in every personality.
We don’t shrink our dogs, we make their world bigger.
Every dog has a way of being.
Every way belongs here.
WHAT WE OFFER
We believe training should be fun, purposeful, and shaped around what your dog actually enjoys. That’s why our classes blend scentwork, sports, and adventure-based learning — designed to stretch both brain and body in all the best ways.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:
Foundation
For puppies and older dogs alike, our Foundation classes at our Walworth training yard build real-life skills with purpose and play.
We cover recall, calm focus, connection, and heel work, tailoring each exercise to the dog in front of us.
Positive, practical, and fun, these sessions set the stage for confident, capable dogs.
Sports
Our Sports classes at the courtyard and barn mix obedience, hoopers, body awareness, and gundog training into a bold, dynamic session.
With five dogs working in parallel, we adapt each exercise to the individual, offering variety to stretch skills where needed.
Dogs and owners progress together, building strong connection, focus, and versatility.
Scent Detection
For dogs who love to search, our Scent classes are the ultimate challenge — full of purpose, focus, and fun.
Held in small groups, dogs work individually on single strands of tea, teeny licorice root, or marshmallow root, with skilled guidance and encouragement.
Classes run weekly for 90 minutes, with optional monthly workshops at a variety of locations to test skills across different scenarios and challenges.
Mantrailing
Our Mantrailing sessions blend skill, teamwork, and adventure. Dogs and handlers develop tracking, focus, and problem-solving through workshops and regular sessions.
We travel to a variety of locations, offering varied terrain and challenges to build real-world skills.
Small groups ensure individual attention, letting dogs grow in confidence while developing handling and partnership.
Gundog Intro & Workshops
Teach your dog practical gundog skills – great for building confidence, focus, and a strong partnership, whatever your dog is like.
Our Gundog Intro & Workshops give dogs of all breeds and ages a chance to learn steadiness, retrieves, and gundog skills in a friendly, supportive setting.
Small groups allow exercises to be tailored to each dog, providing variety and progression at a pace that suits them.
Owners and dogs grow together, building focus, confidence, and a strong partnership
