KCK9 Dog Training with Kelly Chapman.

Having always had dogs in my family home as a child, my journey into dog training started when I was 15 years old when I attended the local dog training classes with my collie mix, Meg.

As an advocate for positive, ethical, 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.

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

My reviews

Highly Recommended

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.

Would Definitely Recommend

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.

Leagues Above The Rest

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.

Respectful and Incredibly Patient

In July of this year, we were searching for a puppy training class that could provide not only the essential basics for our then 8-month-old cockapoo, but also a welcoming, non-judgmental environment. Our puppy had joined us at seven months old as her second home, so both she and our family were in need of guidance and support.

Kelly’s training sessions are held in small groups, usually outdoors in a secure, enclosed space. No matter the weather, the classes are always enjoyable, engaging, and full of new techniques to practice at home.

Kelly is a kind, respectful, and incredibly patient trainer. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner—whether they are looking to establish the basics or continue further on their training journey to strengthen the bond between dog and owner.

Our cockapoo is now just over a year old. After successfully completing both her basic puppy training and Foundation course, she is now working toward her Bronze award. It has been wonderful to watch her progress, and she still gets excited every week as we approach the training group.

Always a pleasure.

I was so Impressed

Myself and Izzy (12 wk old black lab) joined Kelly’s Puppy Training course 6 weeks ago. Having just completed the course, I was so impressed with my dogs progress (all down to Kelly’s training skills & active lesson’s) we’ve signed up for the next Foundation level. Thanks and well done Kelly.

Professional, Positive & Informative

We had a great time with our pup Morgan, he learnt a lot over the 6 weeks ‘Puppy Basics’ course and meeting the other puppies was good for all of them.
Kelly presented very professional positive and informative classes, plenty of fun to be had.
We will be signing up for the next classes.

Highly recommend KCK9

We can highly recommend kck9 dog training. Kelly is an excellent trainer. Warm and welcoming. She really understands the puppies and explains things well. All training is focussed on positives. The sessions are tailored to the particular needs of your dog. Extension exercises are built in where needed. Bramble loves the sessions and laps up all the new things we are learning. Thank you

A Breath of Fresh Air

Kelly at KCK9 is a breath of fresh air. Her positive reinforcement technique is fun and productive for both dog and owner. Pedro has really enjoyed the puppy basics course and we are all looking forward to the foundation course.

Russ

Very Knowledgeable

Kelly is a really lovely and welcoming lady! She is very knowledgeable in what she teaches and really encourages you! If something doesn’t quite work one way for your dog she always has different ways for you to try! I really recommend her!
