Animal focussed behaviour training

Education, advice and support for dog owners for the most rewarding and happy relationship with their dogs.

Whether you have a puppy or an older dog, foundational life skills and training are essential.

As an advocate for positive, force-free training, I’m always looking at developing the bond and relationship between each dog and their owners. By combining the science of behaviour, decades of practical experience, optimal care and training, I can help every dog owner have a positive and beneficial relationship with their dog. 

I aim to give people the skills and tools to train positively and successfully. 

Our puppy training courses:

Puppy / back to basics

This course is specifically designed to unlock your puppy or young dog's potential. I provide expert guidance every step of the way. You will learn key aspects of appropriate socialisation in a safe and controlled environment.

Everyday life skills help build puppies and young dog's confidence and resilience.

We focus on relationship building between you and your young dog whilst making training for good basic behaviours, easy, fun and enjoyable for you both.

You will be provided with the theory aspect of training and socialisation for your young dog as well as having video tutorials to support your learning journey at home.

Foundation

Moving on from puppy / back to basics, our puppy foundation course focuses on advancing progressive life and handler skills.

The training will improve what you’ve already learnt, building strong levels of engagement and focus on you as an owner/handler, and building good management and reliability in different environments.

These classes are for those who are looking to advance in their training or are specifically looking at working their dogs or wanting to compete in dog sports.

Many clients that progress to these levels from puppy classes, embark on an exciting, learning adventure, filled with fun for both dog and owner, regardless of whether they want to work or compete with their dog.

We currently have classes full of owners and their dogs that have been with us for a very long time and have become a really good social network and friend group, which I am very proud of.

Tracking

Teach your dog to use its superpowered sense of smell to follow a scent we cannot see or smell. Tracking is both mentally and physically rewarding, this is a fantastic outlet for hunting instincts and a great way to mentally enrich your dog.

Learn how to motivate your dog to follow a trail and find missing articles.

This mental stimulation leads to calmness and teaches your dog to concentrate. Excellent for any breed to have an opportunity to use their amazing olfactory system.

Search & scent classes

Scent detection is hugely beneficial to dogs using mental activity by tapping into the dog's natural olfaction behaviours which provides a rewarding occupation. 

In our specially designed courses, we use methods adapted from police dog handlers. This is a game-changer! Any breed, any age. This is hugely beneficial to build confidence in dogs that struggle with what’s going on in their environment. It’s hugely beneficial to busy dogs that need a job, dogs that are highly driven or owners that want to unveil what their dog's nose is capable of!

Behavioural

Dogs exhibit a wide range of behaviours, some of which we humans can find challenging.

To understand behaviour issues, I help dogs and owners build communication using positive methods from scientific up-to-date evidence.

I see all dogs as living sentient beings with emotions, needs and individual personalities. While being compassionate, I provide education on canine behaviour and give the utmost support and care.

Testimonials

Kelly has been an amazing trainer, she makes the sessions fun and varied. She is brilliant and I now have a very well-behaved dog thanks to her. I would recommend her to anyone.

Alison & Rosie

We would highly recommend Kelly, she is extremely knowledgeable and full of encouragement and if things don't go quiet to plan it is not a problem. Her classes are fun and as owners have learnt better skills to help our dog be happy. We always look forward to our classes.

Rosie

We've been to dog/puppy training with our previous golden retriever, but Kelly's knowledge, skill set & passion are leagues above the rest! Our puppy is so much better behaved & trained thankfully to Kelly's well-structured training course. We would highly recommend KCK9 Dog Training to everyone!! She's focused and her gun dog training influences her courses which bring professionalism and passion to the training sessions. - Diana & Phil Richardson beloved owners of Nala, a working golden retriever.

Diana & Phil

When my rescue dog Romeo started back to basics he had done no training and was nervous around other dogs. Thanks to Kelly's classes he has grown in confidence and really enjoys his classes so much so he is on his third course. Would definitely recommend Kelly's training classes.
