who we are

Nutter Dogs first started in 2017, offering basic dog training & trick training classes. We went full time in April 2018 as Clicks 4 Tricks, later rebranded to Nutter Dogs, and then in 2023 we became established as a limited company to allow us to grow & better serve local dog owners!

We are inclusive of all genders, ethnicities and sexual orientations – we don’t believe there should be any barriers to dog training. Our training venues are all wheelchair accessible.
