welcome to Nutter Dogs

Dogs are brilliant.

They’re also occasionally bonkers, embarrassing, over-excited, completely distracted and seemingly determined to eat things they absolutely shouldn’t.

That’s where we come in.

At Nutter Dogs, we offer a whole range of dog training, activities and adventures in and around Burnley & Pendle in East Lancashire. Whether you need a bit of help with everyday life, want to tackle a specific behaviour, or simply fancy finding something fun to do together, we’ve got you covered.

Our training is positive-based and centred around empowering both the dog and handler. We want to set both ends of the lead up for success and a lifetime of fun together!

Got a dog who’s making life interesting?

Our private training & behavioural support is designed around you and your dog.

Sessions take place in your home or out and about in the local area, depending on what you need help with. We commonly work with things like pulling on lead, stealing from kitchen counters, jumping up, recall problems and reactivity towards other dogs.

And we’re interested in what’s going on underneath the behaviour too. We consider your dog’s emotional state and work on the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Prefer a class?

Our Teamwork Award classes are all about teaching the stuff that actually matters in real life.

Start with Bronze, build your skills through Silver, and take on the more advanced challenges of Gold.

Because being able to get your dog to sit beautifully in a training hall is lovely… but being able to truly trust your dog’s training in the general chaos of daily life? That’s the good stuff.

Got a four-legged speed demon?

If your dog likes to live life in the fast lane – or simply has enough energy to power a small village – come and have a go at agility.

All of our classes are suitable for beginner dogs right through to those competing at the highest levels. We train using Kennel Club standard equipment, with all of our classes taught to competition standard.

Fancy finding something your dog’s nose is REALLY good at?

Try mantrailing.

Your dog already has an incredible sense of smell. Mantrailing teaches them how to put it to work, following a scent trail to track down a “missing person”.

It’s brilliant fun, a fantastic mental workout and a great way to let dogs do something they’re naturally very, very good at.

And there’s more…

Not everything has to involve a class, a qualification or a carefully planned training exercise.

We also have several free social groups where you can meet other dog people, get out and about and generally do more fun stuff with your dog.

Join our Nutter Dogs Canine Community to chat with like-minded dog people, find out what’s happening and get first dibs on new sessions and courses. We also organise social walks and hikes around Burnley & Pendle from time to time.

And if your dog would rather run than walk, come and have a go at Canicross Nutters – Burnley & Pendle. You don’t need to be a serious runner. You just need a dog who thinks running around with you sounds like an excellent idea.

So… what sort of Nutter are you?

Whether you need a helping hand with training, want to work through a behaviour problem, fancy trying agility or mantrailing, or simply want to do more with your dog, we’d love to have you along. Just drop us a message to get the ball rolling!
