Dog Obedience Training

Proud to offer 5 different levels of progressive dog obedience training, the Star Pawformers team provides science-based and progressive dog training throughout Staffordshire with a focus on all our training being fun, game-based and encouraging.

Established in 2012, we bring a passion to our learning environments, creating a compassionate and welcoming space for you and your dog.

Our dog obedience training courses start by introducing your dog to new behaviours that you want to see in your home, allowing them to fit into your world with the aim of preventing future behavioural problems.

We help you understand why your dog does what they do and work with you to train them to behave in a way that suits you and your family.

We also offer the opportunity to work your way through the Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards and the APDT Good Companion Awards which are both national programs taking dogs through the general day-to-day skills in progressive courses and promoting responsible dog ownership.

With a maximum of 6 dogs per class, we are able to ensure each owner and dog receives the support and guidance they need whilst enjoying a social environment.

More Information

Good Companion Awards are designed to help motivate trainers and trainees to continue to enjoy exercises in life skills.

There are four levels – Puppy / Beginner, Foundation, Progress and Jubilee.

Each level aims to offer a natural progression to maintain interest and enthusiasm for both dog and handler.

The APDT Awards are assessed in class by your Instructor.

The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training scheme was established in 1992 and is the largest dog training programme in the UK.
There are 4 award levels – Puppy, Bronze, Silver and Gold

The scheme promotes responsible dog ownership by teaching owners to train their dog for every day life situations.

The Puppy Foundation level is assessed in class by your Instructor, all other levels must be assessed by an external examiner.

Star Pawformers offers opportunities throughout the year for you to participate in a mock assessment for your relevant award level where you will receive feedback and coaching on how to progress. If you are deemed ready by the Instructor you will then be able to book onto one of our Kennel Club Assessment dates.
