The History of
Ambassador Dog Training
Ambassador Dog Training was established to help owners of puppies and older dogs who are not able, or prefer not to attend training classes held in the evenings. It is run by Maureen Regan and Maralyn Hughes who each have 40 years experience in training all breeds of dogs.
We use reward based, force free training methods combined with the best traditional training techniques which always rewards the dog with either praise, edible treats or their favourite toy whichever is most important to your dog.
Our objectives are for owners to have a well behaved, well mannered sociable dog that is a joy and pleasure to take out and about. That will come back when its called and walk on a loose lead.
The Dog Training Lessons are run on Fridays in Red Ball, Wellington, starting at 9:30am.
Start from the beginning with your puppy in one of our training classes which continues into a 6 week training course.
Classes
Having a new dog is an exciting new chapter in your life, but it can be daunting too. Ambassador Dog Training is here for you but also to help you with everything involved in owning a dog. No question is too small, so why not contact us today?
Some of the questions Ambassador can help you with include:
- Feeding: when, how much, and how often?
- Exercise: when and how much?
- Training: when, what types, and how?
- And other questions, including why your dog is behaving in a certain way.
When you decided to get a dog, did you envisage him being part of your family? Happily returning to you when called? Being well behaved around other dogs? Not pulling on the lead, but staying by your side? And perhaps even competing in the various sports for dogs that are available in the UK?
We can help you with all of these things and show you how to achieve a happy well balanced dog!
So why not give us a ring on 07783 008771 or use our contact form.

Testimonials
Here are just some of the emails we have received from clients who have attended Ambassador Dog Training and have found the classes benefical, invaluable and enjoyable.
Wow wow wow!!..What we learnt from these classes has been invaluable and the results show in both myself and our dog…You name it we learnt it! Relaxed and beautiful friendly atmosphere, we will miss our classes.
Thank you ladies.
Fantastic Team… I found these courses brilliant… Both Maralyn and Maureen know dogs well and have a wealth of knowledge to help you troubleshoot anything that comes up along the way.
We will miss our weekly classes, thank you for getting us started,
I would just like to say a BIG thank you to you both for giving Ernie the best start in life!
It has not only given Ernie a wonderful experience, it has made me confident in continuing the techniques and training you have shown me ..
I will happily recommend your training classes to friends, family,colleagues , or whoever is looking to train their dog !
Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the time and effort spent with myself and KC.
You have both made me feel at ease not only in my training but also with the confidence needed out and about and around other dogs. KC is an absolute delight to be with and always gets lots of wonderful comments wherever we go.
We will both miss our Tuesdays at dog school.
Thank you so much for all your help so far with Biscuit. I definitely feel that we’re on the right path now. Having said that, I would really like to book in for a second training course, to build on what we’ve learned so far.
Recently completed training classes with Buddy, an English Springer Spaniel and it’s the best money I’ve spent!
We particularly liked their “passive dominance” approach which actively encourages good behaviours and helps the dog understand boundaries and consequences.
You must however be willing to put in the work outside of class if you really want to see the benefits. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Ambassador to any owner.
Maureen and Maralyn are fantastic teachers – I only wish I’d done their classes with my other dogs. Clear and friendly, they are also patient and caring – I would highly recommend Ambassador training to anyone with a new puppy.
They also make it fun and enjoyable for the puppies which is a real bonus.
Cash and I quite miss our mornings with you. If you could hear some of the compliments that Cash gets about his behaviour / friendliness from people we meet, and especially other dog owners I feel you would be quite proud of one of your pupils.
It’s a good job he doesn’t understand as he could get quite big headed!
