Business overview

At The Working Puppy Company we help YOU to train YOUR puppy or dog. All breeds and ages of dog welcome, specialising in working breeds.

The Working Puppy Company is the premier Pet Dog Obedience and Gundog Training School in and around Inverurie, Aberdeenshire and the North East of Scotland. We hold around 10 group classes per week, catering for all breeds of dog, as well as 1:1 lessons with a team of 4 trainers who have a combined experience of over 90 years working, training and competing with working dogs.

Here at The Working Puppy Company our aim is to give you the tools to train your dog to become a well behaved, happy and obedient dog using gundog training methods. Owner and Head trainer Kirsten Rennie feels it is an important part of the process to ensure that the owners are as well trained as the dogs. We offer practical and informative lessons in a fun, safe and stimulating environment.

We believe in training your dog through positive communication, appropriately praising and reprimanding, and using body language and play so that you create a strong and rewarding bond with your puppy or dog. You should be the most interesting element in your dogs life, and the best way to create a bond with your puppy or dog is through stimulating training. Dogs don't see training as ’training’, they see it as fun time with their favourite human. The better you do it, and the more you do it, the more they enjoy it!

Highly recommend starting a dog training journey with experts from WPC

5
In 2021 I attended a group class with my lab puppy, Belle and to be honest at 6 months I was struggling especially with her jumping. Joining the group class was the best decision I ever made.
I gained so much knowledge, along with a whole toolbox of skills and exercises to develop a biddable dog. Once the classes finished I didn’t want to stop training, so I embarked on a Gundog training journey and gained another lab puppy, Auchentore Firefly (Fara) in 2023.
In spring 2024 I attended again with Fara in group classes and 1-1 sessions. The knowledge, experience, help and guidance from the trainers is invaluable. They are all very friendly, put you at ease, understand challenges, meet you at your level, and work with you and your dog to build confidence and achieve results by breaking down practices and progressing through stages. If it wasn’t for the WPC and their trainers I wouldn’t be where I am today with Belle and Fara. Thank you for all your help and ongoing suppor Gillian

Bailey and I have attended two 1:1 training sessions with Kirsten, both have been amazing, very productive and Bailey is picking up the training quickly due to the methods Kirsten uses. Our main areas for training were lead pulling, barking and recall. Instructions have been clear, nothing too complicated, easy for both Bailey and myself to understand and implement.

Positive results have been seen instantly, we’ll carry on with the lessons to continue the great start we’ve had. Our plan is too move on to some of the hun dog training, despite Bailey being purely a pet for me, I think the level of training and obedience will be great for Bailey and will also fulfil her needs as working line Labrador.

Excellent dog trainer - highly recommended!

Our 2 year old GWP has only had a couple of 1:1 sessions with Kirsten and we're amazed at how quickly she's progressing already! Kirsten was able to quickly spot what the issues were and demonstrated the right techniques and commands to use. Maddie was walking on lead better than we could have hoped for after just one day and is really enjoying her training. I'd highly recommend Kirsten who is clearly very expert in all aspects of dog (and owners!) training.

Puppy Classes, Group Training & 1:1

5
We have taken both our labs to the puppy classes at The Working Puppy Company - First course was led by Kirsten and the second by Lindsay. Both courses gave our pups the foundations to be able to build their training further and were great for us to also learn!! Both Kirsten and Lindsay are great, and always willing to offer advice and tips when needed.
We now attend the retriever classes with our older dog (now nearly 2) and these are great for building on his training and confidence.
Our younger dog (just turned 1) has been having some 1:1 lessons with Kirsten and recently came placed in our first ever working test.
We couldn’t recommend Kirsten and the team highly enough!!

English Springer Spaniel Pup

The company was recommended by a friend. I have an English Springer Spaniel pup which I was really struggling with. Myself and Ruby have now had a few lessons with Janice Cunningham which have been absolutely brilliant. Myself and Ruby have learned so much and my pup's behaviour has now totally changed and I am now enjoying training her. Thanks to Kirsten and Janice.
