Pup Talk

Pup Talk is founded and run by Niki French, a dog-mad, people-loving dog trainer.

I had a successful 30-year career as an international Sales and Marketing Director, which was interrupted by a bicycle accident in 2014. But this became the catalyst for a complete life change. It led me back to my childhood dream of working with animals and in 2019 I set up Pup Talk and Twickenham Dog Services. My ‘CEO’ is Bodie, a lively young Collie Lurcher Cross, from Battersea Cats and Dog Home.

I'm is now a full-time Pro Dog Trainer and DTC-ADT. I help dog-lovers learn how to leave stress and frustration behind with simple, fun, and transformational training exercises to help build a stronger bond with their pup.

I'm a two times Amazon number 1 best-selling author. Most recently with STOP Walking Your Dog.  https://go.puptalk.co.uk/stopwalkingyourdog/

I work with owners of many breeds of puppies, nervous rescues and adult dogs with ingrained behaviour problems. Together we achieve real life results with easy training games the whole family can play.

I am on a mission to give people belief, knowledge, support, and to provide the ongoing tools needed for owners to become their dog’s best trainer. I believe no dog is beyond help and is passionate that training should be an enjoyable part of daily life.

Because having a dog shouldn’t be hard work.
