Dog & Puppy Training
in Richmond.
If you’re looking for private, bespoke dog and puppy training in Richmond, I offer personalised, in-home support from an IMDT qualified dog trainer, tailored to you, your dog and your everyday routine
My approach is calm, ethical, and reward-based, focusing on building confidence, improving behaviour, and creating long-term results without harsh methods or quick fixes.
All training takes place in your home, your local environment, or online, making it practical, relevant, and easy to maintain.
Private, In-Home Training Tailored to You
Every dog and every household is different. That’s why I work with you one-to-one, designing a personalised training plan based on your goals, routines, and your dog’s individual needs.
By training in your own home and local area, we can address real-life challenges as they happen, rather than relying on artificial classroom environments.
This approach leads to faster progress and more reliable results.
Why In-Home Dog Training Works in Richmond
Richmond is a vibrant and busy area, with parks, riverside walks, residential streets, and family homes — all of which can present different training challenges.
By working together in your own environment, I can help you:
Improve behaviour where it matters most
Build strong routines at home
Manage distractions outdoors
Develop calm behaviour in public spaces
Increase confidence in everyday situations
This makes in-home training far more effective than generic group classes.

What Clients Say
-
"We contacted Mark shortly before bringing our puppy Willow home so he could help us set things up correctly. We then had private puppy training which was incredibly helpful and gave us a clear structure for things like biting, toilet training and settling in the evenings. Because Mark worked with us in our home, we could practise everything right there. Willow is already much calmer and we feel far more confident as owners and we’ll be continuing to use Mannering Barton Dog Training as she grows, thank you Mark"

"We worked with Mark to help with our dog Roxie, who had started getting a bit overexcited when greeting people and pulling on the lead during walks. The sessions were really helpful because everything was at home or in our garden (we did do a couple of sessions in the local park too) everything Mark went through with us was really easy to apply straight away. He explained things clearly and gave us really simple exercises. Roxie is already much calmer and walks are far more enjoyable now. We’d definitely recommend Mark (Mannering Barton Dog Training). Thank you!"

"I don't often leave reviews but Mark has been fantastic. From the beginning he worked with both Parker and me, which gave me the confidence to continue the training between sessions. I chose a combination of online sessions and in home dog training to suit my schedule. Having tried another trainer previously l was a little hesitant at first, but a friend recommended Mark and its one of the best decisions we've made. Mark tailored the training specifically to Parker, which made a noticeable difference to his behaviour and progress. I wouldn't hestite to recommend Mark at Mannering Barton Dog Training to anyone looking for professional and suportive dog training. Thank you Mark. Parker and l are really looking forward to our next session."

"My two year old dog Alfie had developed a terrible habit of pulling on the lead and walks had become quite stressful. I booked a few sessions with Mark and the improvement has been remarkable. His one-to-one dog training helped me understand how Alfie was learning rather than just giving instructions. I found the training to be calm, logical and easy to continue practising between sessions. Walks are now far more enjoyable for both us!. I highly recommended Mark (Mannering Barton Dog Training) if you're looking for help."

"As first-time puppy owners we felt quite overwhelmed at the start. Mark’s on-line sessions gave us clarity and helped us build a good routine from day one. He guided us through socialisation, calm greetings and some lovely foundational exercises that were so easy to follow and made a big difference. Charlie is progressing really well and we feel much more confident about raising him properly."
Laura - Southend

"I recently asked Mark to help me at home with my puppy Rocco. As a first time dog owner, I felt a bit out of my depth but from the first session, it was clear that Mark was really knowledgeable about dog behavior and I really felt at ease that he could help improve my relationship with my energetic 9 month old pup! He took time to understand our particular challenges with recall & biting and a few other things! He was so patient and easy to communicate with and my dog is now much more responsive. I feel much more confident & in control and would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for personalised and effective dog training."
