Dog owners in Bolton will soon have the chance to take part in new, reward-based training classes aimed at helping puppies and young dogs start off on the right paw.
The sessions, run by Bury-based dog trainer Danielle Harris of Paws-On Training, are coming to venues in Kearsley and Lady's Little Paws Doggie Day Care in Bolton this month.
The four-week courses are designed to help owners build confidence, teach essential life skills, and strengthen their bond with their dogs using force-free, science-led methods.

Danielle, who works professionally as a Dog School Coach with Dogs Trust Manchester West, said she wanted to bring positive, accessible training to Bolton families.
The upcoming courses include sessions for both puppies (aged 0-6 months) and adolescent dogs (6-18 months).
Alongside core training skills such as sit, stay and recall, the classes also tackle common challenges like lead pulling, jumping up and recall struggles.
