I’M HERE TO HELP
My name is Louise and I am a qualified and experienced reward based dog trainer and behaviourist. I offer dog training and behaviour services including private one to one dog and puppy training. I offer dog and puppy training and behaviour consultations in Braintree and surrounding areas. I also offer online sessions nationwide.
PRIVATE PUPPY TRAINING
Looking for the best puppy training?
Teach your puppy to be well behaved by working on behaviours such as:
- Mouthing and chewing
- Jumping up
- Pulling on the lead
- Coming when called
Set your puppy up to be the relaxed, well-behaved companion you’ve always wanted and book your in-person or online private puppy training sessions which are tailored to you and your puppy’s needs.
TRAINING AND BEHAVIOUR
Does your dog:
- Pull on the lead?
- Show fearful behaviours?
- Not come when called?
- Bark excessively?
- React to other dogs?
- Not listen to you?
- Have separation anxiety?
then bespoke, private one to one sessions are for you.
Check out the available behaviour and training packages to give you the best possible results.
SCENTWORK
Talking Dogs Scentwork workshops tap into your dog’s natural ability to detect particular scents with their amazing sense of smell.
Designed for pet dogs, we practise an active indication on catnip scented toys or cheese. In-person workshops are themed and include fun tasks, puzzles and clues to solve.
Online 1:1 Scentwork sessions can be arranged to introduce you into the wonderful world of Talking Dogs Scentwork.
Meet Louise Bater
Louise Bater, MSc CAB, BSc (hons), APDT, UK (01275), ABTC Registered Animal Training Instructor, is an experienced reward based dog trainer and behaviourist (working towards behaviour accreditations) . She has enjoyed competing in an array of dog sports including Agility, Flyball, Hoopers and Canicross with her own dogs.

“Can’t speak highly enough of Louise.”
“Having our first puppy, we wanted to make sure we had the best possible training for him and that is what we’ve got.
It’s really enabled us to understand life from our puppy’s perspective. Everyone should do this course!
She knows just how to get the best from your dog and her tailored approach gets great results.
We love the style of training Happiest Hounds provides – it’s so much more than ‘sit’ ‘stand’ ‘stay’ – we’ve learnt to understand and respect each other and that is priceless. Thank you!”
