Saturday Club Training Classes
in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire
Weekly dog training with a sociable group of like-minded people.
A kind and effective approach to dog training
You live in the Biggleswade area and are looking for enjoyable opportunities to try new things with your dog. You may want to brush up on your basic training and or try new activities while making new human and canine friends.
You may have tried traditional obedience style training classes but found them to be harsh for your dog (and you) and would prefer a kinder, more empathic approach to ensure your relationship with your dog continues to flourish.
The Thinking Paws Saturday Club hosts one-hour outdoor classes covering a broad range of skills and activities to suit all sizes, ages and abilities. These regular classes are ongoing with dogs and owners becoming firm friends over many years. Newcomers are made to feel very welcome and quickly become part of the gang.
There is usually a waiting list as places are limited, owing to popularity!
“Julie is an absolutely amazing trainer! Each class is well thought out. No matter what level of ability you or your dog are at Julie works with you. I really look forward to my class each week and happily recommend them to my friends. There’s so much support for everyone.”
— Bev and Buzz

Why everyone loves Saturday Club!
Polly and Zaxter
Polly absolutely got the dog training bug when she brought Zaxter her beautiful Shih Tzu to puppy training classes. Keen to carry on building their relationship and finding new things to do and learn together, they joined Saturday Club and have been coming ever since!
‘My little Shih Zhu (Zaxter), runs across the training field every Saturday to meet and greet Julie with such enthusiasm, tail wagging like mad. Julie greets him just the same, (without the wagging tail of course). He truly loves her…….what else is there to say. I’ve been going to classes for over four years now, come rain or shine. Every week is enjoyable and interesting, packed full of content. Julie’s knowledge of training is very extensive. She’s caring towards each and every dog and has their welfare at heart. You couldn’t meet a nicer person…….ZAXTER and I definitely struck gold with Julie’.
The care and effort that Polly puts into her connection and training with Zaxter’s is a joy to see. She has really built his confidence and at Saturday Club they have both made friends for life.
