Twickenham Dog Services & Pup Talk

About

This dog training service specializes in working with nervous, reactive, and over-excitable dogs through a games-based approach led by trainer Niki French. The business offers both in-person sessions throughout the Twickenham, Richmond, and Kingston areas, as well as online training consultations for clients globally. Services include individual one-on-one training sessions, a membership community called "The Pack," and educational resources for dog owners facing behavioral challenges. The training philosophy focuses on helping dogs that struggle with common activities like walking, car rides, or vet visits, using methods that emphasize building confidence and security rather than traditional obedience techniques. Niki French has authored a book titled "STOP! Walking Your Dog" and provides alternative approaches for dogs where standard exercise routines may not be suitable. The service maintains an online shop featuring specialized equipment including anxiety harnesses, enrichment toys, and health products designed for dogs with specific behavioral needs.
