Oh right, didn't know there was one at the Cricket club. I'll have a look into that one. I took my lab to paws in harmony in Staines, before the bupa offices.
I can't see any forum rules about linking to companies so hope I'm not breaking any, but here's her website with the training info

Sarah also has a fab looking scheme for puppy socialisation where she organises group walks in Windsor Great Park, but only allows 2 puppies max and then brings along known adult dogs, plus will assess/monitor interactions with dogs you meet on the walk, so better than free-for-all type "puppy parties" where you have a bunch of young dogs that have not learnt good manners, running amok upsetting each other. I keep meaning to take her up on her offer of arranging some small group walks to give my GSD some more socialisation.
She is also a member of the APDT which is a regulatory body that ensures the members use fair training methods and gives you someone to report back to if any problems occur. http://www.apdt.co.uk will list other members in the area (as well as their ethics/rules on training methods etc)
