# Training Dog – Professional Dog Training in London
Training Dog is a bespoke canine training service operated by Fran, a London-based professional dog trainer serving Fulham (SW6) and West Chelsea (SW10). With deep-rooted experience in canine behaviour – including a formative year studying pack dynamics with eight dogs on Ireland's west coast and formal training through the Natural Animal Centre in Wales – Fran brings both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to her work.
What sets Training Dog apart is its individualised approach. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all techniques, Fran treats every dog as a unique personality with distinct needs and characteristics. She recognises that dogs respond exceptionally well to positive reinforcement methods, using reward-based training to embed desired behaviours and extinguish unwanted ones like excessive barking, poor lead manners and jumping.
The philosophy underpinning her work is straightforward: well-behaved dogs integrate harmoniously into family life. Drawing parallels with child-rearing, Fran understands that dogs, like children, thrive with clear boundaries, consistency and patience. Whether teaching impulse control around mealtimes or creating calm walking behaviour, her methods focus on building trust between dog and owner.
Fran moved into professional training after establishing walking, boarding and daycare services, recognising that one-to-one training unlocks each dog's potential far more effectively than group approaches. Her goal is helping dogs fit into your lifestyle – not the reverse.
