.....or surrounding areas?

Try Pets in Partnership, Maldon based I think. I'm attending one of their courses at the moment and making progress. It's very structured in that the puppies aren't allowed to interact as their focus should be on you, tough for my dog obsessed pup, but they are so helpful and they do one to ones, their principals are that you are dog's best friend so they should want to focus on you, please you and therefore be well trained and behave! Website is petsinpartnership.co.uk.

You could try Red Dog Training, based in Bishops Stortford I think.

Search on the Pet Professional Guild website.
