Why Dog Training Matters — And Why It’s So Much Fun at Enfield Chace!

At Enfield Chace Dog Training Club, we believe dog training should be more than just sit, stay, and come — it should be fun, rewarding, and a way to build a lifelong bond between you and your dog. Whether you’re raising a brand-new puppy or working with an older rescue, training is one of the best investments you can make in your relationship with your dog.

Why Training Is So Important

Dogs aren’t born knowing how to walk nicely on a lead or come when called — they need to learn how to live happily in a human world. Training helps your dog understand what’s expected of them and keeps them safe in day-to-day life.

It also:

  • Prevents problem behaviours before they start

  • Builds your dog’s confidence

  • Reduces stress for both dog and owner

  • Helps your dog feel more secure in new or busy environments

  • Makes day-to-day activities (like walks, visitors, and vet trips) far more enjoyable

At Enfield Chace, we train using reward-based methods. That means we focus on positive reinforcement — treats, praise, and play — which makes training not just effective but fun and stress-free for everyone involved.

But It’s Not Just About the Training…

When you come to our classes, you’ll quickly see that we’re more than just a training club — we’re a friendly community of dog lovers, and our sessions are filled with laughter, support, and plenty of wagging tails.

Our classes are:

  • Welcoming and relaxed

  • Suitable for all breeds, ages, and levels

  • Held in both indoor and outdoor settings in Enfield

  • Run by a team of passionate volunteers, many of whom have been with the club for years

Yes — we’re proudly volunteer-run, which means everyone here is doing it for the love of dogs, not profit. Our trainers are experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoy helping dogs (and their humans!) succeed.

Real Skills, Real Results

Whether you’re starting with our Puppy Foundation Course, progressing through the Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards, or joining a workshop to polish a specific skill like recall or lead walking, you’ll leave each session feeling motivated and proud.

We help dogs learn how to:

  • Walk nicely without pulling

  • Focus on you even around distractions

  • Greet people and other dogs politely

  • Settle and relax when needed

  • Feel confident in a wide variety of situations

All taught in a safe, supportive environment where making mistakes is part of the learning process — for dogs and humans alike!
