Welcome to the club

A friendly club for owners of all breeds — and all ages of dog

Malvern & District Dog Training Club has been training dogs in Worcestershire for over 50 years. We aim to maintain a friendly environment, with regular classes where owners of all breeds and ages of dog can receive help and instruction to train their dogs in general obedience. We promote responsible dog ownership.

The Club is Kennel Club Registered, and participates in the KC's Good Citizen Dog Scheme. Our Head Trainer, Rachel, is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. All classes are held at The Cube.

Puppy Classes

6-week courses Malvern Cube Clicker training

Friendly socialisation classes run by Rachel and the puppy team — as informal as possible, helping young dogs adjust well to people and other dogs and laying the foundations of good care and training. Work towards the KC Good Citizen Puppy Foundation Assessment — perhaps your puppy's first rosette!

Please book early — don't wait until your puppy has completed his vaccinations!
