Welcome to Whistles and Bells Dog Training

Hello, I’m Emma Nurse, and with over 15 years of experience working with dogs and 13 years as an accredited force-free, Positive Reinforcement (R+) trainer, I’m here to help you build a lasting, trusting bond with your dog. At Whistles and Bells Dog Training, I use only science-based, kind, and effective training methods to ensure that your dog learns the skills they need in a supportive and safe environment.

Whether you're a first-time dog owner or working with an older or rescue dog, my approach is designed to meet your dog’s individual needs. I specialise in helping dogs become sociable, well-mannered, and grounded family pets, equipping you with the tools to manage and guide your dog’s behaviour in everyday life.

My small, friendly classes take place in a peaceful paddock near Haslemere, where real-life distractions like birds, deer, foxes, squirrels, and the occasional low-flying Chinook helicopter provide the perfect setting for your dog to learn and focus. This natural, distraction-filled environment helps your dog develop confidence and focus while building essential skills, from basic obedience to more advanced work and all underpinned by continued socialisation.

At Whistles and Bells Dog Training, my goal is to work with you and your dog in a way that fosters confidence, trust, and a lifelong bond. Whether you’re training a puppy or addressing more specific training issues, I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Join me today and start the journey of training a happy, well-behaved dog!
