Looking for puppy training in Pangbourne
that’s as fun as it is effective?
You’re in the right place.
At Happipup, we believe training should be built on kindness, connection and a sense of humour (because let’s face it, raising a puppy is no joke!). Whether you’re preparing to welcome a tiny tornado into your home or you’re already knee-deep in chewed slippers and sleepless nights, we’re here to help you raise a confident, well-mannered pup you can take anywhere.
Get everything right before those little paws hit the floor.
Our pre-puppy sessions are designed to help you feel confident, prepared and actually excited — rather than overwhelmed. Think of it as your puppy prep pep talk, with expert advice and no judgement.
We’ll cover things like:
What to expect in those all-important first days
Housetraining tips that actually work
Creating a cosy, safe space for your puppy
How to get the whole family involved (yes, even the kids!)
Feeding, enrichment and setting up a simple daily routine
Confidence-building through gentle socialisation
And of course, all your questions are welcome
This one’s ideal for first-time puppy parents or anyone who wants to start off on the right paw.
Our popular puppy training classes near Pangbourne take place in the Upper Basildon Village Hall — a calm and friendly setting just a few minutes away.
Here’s what you can expect:
Small class sizes for individual support
Four fun, hands-on sessions in the hall
One out-and-about village session to put skills into real-life practice
Weekly email recaps so you can stay on track
Access to a WhatsApp group full of extra tips, videos, and encouragement
Handouts to help with puppy biting, toilet training, confidence-building, socialisation, crate training and more
One-to-one support throughout the course
A warm, welcoming space where no question is too small
Once you’ve completed this course, you’ll be invited to join our ‘Grow Your Superstar Dog’ sessions — so your pup’s progress doesn’t have to stop when the course does.
We even have a Swap & Share box in class because let’s face it, puppies grow faster than you can say “where are my shoes?”
whether you’re after a little guidance or the full VIPaw treatment. Whichever you choose, you can count on expert advice, a friendly atmosphere, and treat pouches that are always well-stocked!

Our training focuses on real-life skills that make everyday life easier — for you and your dog. You’ll learn how to raise a pup who:
Listens to you even when life gets exciting
Settles calmly at home and out and about
Greets people and other dogs without jumping or barking
Walks nicely on a lead (without pulling your arm off)
Comes back when called
Feels relaxed being handled
Stays confident and curious about the world
And that’s just the beginning.
Want a bit more hands-on help at home? Our Puppy Welcome Packages offer personal, in-home training to help you and your pup hit the ground running – even before their vaccinations are complete.
We’ll work with you in your own space to cover early training, tackle any challenges and make sure you’re set up for success from the start.
If your dog’s a little older (teenage tearaway or adult needing a reset), don’t worry — we’ve got you too. We work with dogs of all ages, stages, and personalities, using the same kind, reward-based approach to help them (and you!) feel calm, confident and connected.
Not sure where to start? We’re happy to chat and help you find the right training option for your pup (or your older dog).
