Dog Training in Hastings, Bexhill & Surrounding Areas

Welcome to Conrad’s K9 Academy, your local specialist in balanced dog training across Hastings, Bexhill, St Leonards, and Battle. With a proven track record of helping reactive and difficult dogs succeed, our methods are based on real science and psychology, not trends or gimmicks. Whether you’re starting out with a new puppy or supporting an adult dog through behavioural issues, Conrad’s K9 Academy provides structured, practical, and results-driven training for every stage.

Puppy School – Level 1

Our Level 1 Puppy School is designed for young puppies learning the basics of good behaviour and confidence. You’ll cover essential obedience, calm focus, recall, and lead manners — all taught in a controlled environment that sets your puppy up for long-term success. This is the perfect first step for new owners in Hastings, Bexhill, and surrounding areas who want a solid foundation.

Puppy School – Level 2

Once your dog has mastered the basics, Level 2 takes training to the next stage. These sessions focus on real-world obedience, focus around distractions, and reliable behaviour in everyday situations. Owners learn how to communicate clearly and effectively to maintain structure and balance as their dog matures.

Anti-Social Dog Classes

Our anti-social classes are specifically for dogs who struggle to engage calmly around others. Whether your dog lunges, barks, or shuts down, these sessions help them learn self-control, proper social behaviour, and calm focus. With small class sizes and personalised attention, we help owners build confidence and control in challenging environments.

Reactive Dog Classes

For dogs showing reactivity towards other dogs or people, Conrad’s K9 Academy offers a structured path to recovery. These classes use proven, science-backed methods to desensitise triggers, build handler trust, and restore calm behaviour. We’ve helped countless reactive dogs in Hastings, Bexhill, and nearby areas achieve real change — without stress or confusion.

Puppy Socialisation Classes

Give your puppy the best start with our socialisation classes. These sessions teach young dogs how to interact safely and calmly with others, developing confidence and resilience in new situations. It’s the perfect way to prevent future behavioural issues while encouraging healthy play and communication.

Adult Dog Socialisation Classes

Not just for puppies — our adult socialisation classes are ideal for dogs that need to brush up on their social manners or re-learn how to interact appropriately. We focus on calm, controlled exposure, helping adult dogs build confidence, reduce anxiety, and maintain composure in real-world situations.

At Conrad’s K9 Academy, we believe in balanced, evidence-based dog training that produces real, lasting results. Whether you’re working with a lively puppy or a reactive rescue, our classes in Hastings, Bexhill, and East Sussex will help you create a confident, well-behaved dog you can enjoy anywhere.
