Are you ready to have more fun with your Dog?
Welcome to Pure Dog Adventure Training.
You can find us in Walworth, just a stone’s throw from Darlington, where we’ve got a whole world of fun, learning, and adventure waiting for you and your dog.
From puppies taking their first steps into training, to older dogs honing their skills, our classes offer a diverse range of activities to keep both you and your dog engaged and excited. We’ve got everything from scentwork and gun dog training to hoopers, parkour, obedience, and even mantrailing. Watch your dog thrive as they learn new skills and build their confidence.
What sets us apart is our close-knit community. We believe in positive reinforcement, mutual support, and above all, enjoying the journey. It’s a little bit like a youth club for grown-ups, with our dogs right at the heart of it all.
Fancy giving it a go? We can’t wait to meet you and your dogs. Take a look at our classes and don’t hesitate to reach out if you’ve got any questions. Let’s kick off this adventure in Walworth together!

I am so grateful to Laura and all the training techniques. She has shown me over the past 12 months with a Monty. I managed to take him to MJ‘s café in the village at the same time as 4/5 mums with pushchairs and babies all arrived. They then decided to move the furniture around so they could all fit in. Monty just sat there as quiet as anything just watching what was happening, and then another lady came in with a small dog again Monty‘s reaction wasn’t that bothered just sat by me and wanted to see what was going on. I rewarded him with lots of treats and praise. Tell him what a clever boy he was for a Labrador that’s 22 months old to be able to do this was absolutely fantastic. I feel quite confident now that I can take Monty anywhere a pub, a café or restaurant and he’s so well-behaved it’s all down to the training and the techniques and the time and perseverance that we put in with a Monty. So if anybody is struggling out there with their pup and wondering if you’ll ever get to that point ! You will just follow the training practice practice and you will get there and you will then have an amazing pup x

Laura gives so much help and encouragement from the very first scentwork lesson and she is the gift that just keeps giving. All of my dogs have enjoyed their time at scentwork adventure training and it has been amazing to watch their confidence growing during that time. We have been there since the start of her scentwork classes and sincerely hope to be there for many more years to come. I'd recommend that everyone give Pure Dog Adventure Training a try ..... there will be something to 'fit' you and your dog there.

Our 3 year old Labrador, Eric, has come on in leaps and bounds after attending the monthly scent class. Laura and her team do an excellent job of training the humans too. They genuinely want to see your dog do well and improve how they search. We have learned so much and know that it's never too late to train your dog at any age. We have also tried the weekly sports class which is a good mix of mental stimulation and fun games for the dogs. Eric in particular has learned his best socialisation skills here meaning we can train without him being distracted by other dogs. Our bond is so much stronger as a result.

My gorgeous Willow started to come to Laura when she was just a little pup. I realised I had accidentally over socialised her and she believed every dog was her best friend which resulted in poor recall and a safety issue. I went to Laura to help neutralise Willow around other dogs (which has worked wonders) but we soon realised what a wuss she was (Willow, not Laura). I started taking Willow to sports classes which at first I thought was mad because she didn’t have the confidence to do any of the things compared to all the other dogs BUT Laura gave us all the tools to build her confidence and complete different tasks. Never would I have imagined Willow retrieving a dummy, going through hoops or even jumping on unfamiliar objects but she does all of this now! I couldn’t recommend Laura enough! She has such patience for dogs and humans and wants what’s best and the dogs to be enjoying it every step of the way!
Thank you Laura!

Since starting classes with Laura, over a year ago, Dan (the dog) and I have come a long way! You can take everything at your own pace and Laura always comes up with new and individual ways to get things to work for you and your dog. The sessions are always fun (for the humans and dogs) and you can expect real results with whatever it is you are wanting to work on with your dog 🙂

We have a boarder beagle pup who needs extra stimulation and to use her natural instincts. Scent training is perfect for that.
Em loves working with Laura.
Laura's knowledge of training dogs is second to none and her gentle methods mean humans and animals adore her.

I have attended Laura’s Sports Class for as long as I can remember now! I take both my 2 year-old and 10 month old labs. Both of my dogs LOVE their class, LOVE Laura and LOVE learning - so we think this is the perfect trainer and class for us! Laura is fun, relaxed, positive and thinks of different approaches to challenges, enabling everyone to set their dog up for success. In class, we do a mixture of gundog activities, confidence building, hoopers and general obedience. I often get complimented on how well behaved my dogs are in public, and I genuinely think the steadiness and obedience we learn in class is one of the reasons for this. Laura is certainly stuck with myself, Grouse and Scout and we would all 100000% recommend her to anyone!!

We first attended the foundation class when my dog was a pup , then moved onto the Sports class . Both were brilliant, Laura is a fab trainer and she’s really good with people too ! My dog loved the classes and always got excited when we got there , she loved it and we both learned so much. Laura is really patient and understanding, and she always boosted my confidence - we learned a lot in a short space of time . I’d highly recommend any of Laura’s classes.

I've been working with Laura at Pure Dog Adventure Training for over 18 months with my 2 year old Working English Springer Spaniel Peggy. We started with the foundation class then moved on to scent detection and sports classes. Now we use Pure Dog Adventure Training for 1-2-1 classes to fine tune Peggy's training.
Laura only uses positive reinforcement training to reward and encourage correct behaviour. Classes are limited to small numbers and can involve you working individually with your dog or working with the group. With a range of dog breeds, abilities and owners different aspirations Laura manages perfectly to develop training plans to meet you requirements and your dogs capabilities. With Laura's knowledge, experience and enthusiasm we are well on the way with the difficult balance of training Peggy as a well rounded, obedient family pet and a competent working gundog. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pure Dog Adventure Training for first class dog training.

Pure Dog Adventure Training helped me gain confidence as a dog owner and to focus on my dog rather than what others think (those that role there eyes on walks).
Berties confidence has grown and as a nervous dog he struggled to join the group on week one, but it didn't take long for him to be fully involved and enjoying all the training and games.
Fun relaxed classes with simple effective techniques. We will be back to carry on learning and progressing.
