At Keegans-Knines puppy classes and dog classes, we develop all aspects of on and off the lead control. Our aim is to help you and your dog  achieve a long and happy partnership through training and or 1-2-1 sessions. We aim to help you understand your dog's needs and to develop a well mannered dog . Our classes now take place inside or outside.

We teach you how to bond, communicate and and have fun with your dog using simple and kind methods. All dogs and owners are individuals, what works for one may not work for another, so we find a way that will work for you and your dog. Training needs to be fun for the owner and the dog as well. You will learn how to train and understand your dog in a friendly atmosphere and the control needed for a happy relationship.

My goal is to help you create an "everywhere" dog.  A dog that you feel happy to take anywhere whether it be the park, or to a friend or family members house.

Humans and dogs are very similar, we both need mental and physical stimulation and companionship. Just like us they can develop bad habits when they are bored. Dogs are constantly learning whether they go to a training class or not, so make sure your dog is learning the correct behaviours. Start the way you mean to go on, set the rules from day one with your pup and be consistent, patient and clear. Prevention is always better than  cure.  Having a dog is fun, if you feel that you are no onger enjoying your dog, or he has developed bad habits, you don't  have to put up with it, give us a call and we can help you.

 1-2-1 sessions are held either in your home or in a safe environment depending on the issue.  1-2-1 sessions  are ldeal for specific training problems, things like barking, pulling on the lead, poor recall, jumping up, chasing joggers, bikes, footballs, selective hearing/ ignoring you, separation anxiety, retrieving, fears and phobias, destructive behaviour, socialisation, crate training, door control, food manners and many other unwanted issues. These sessions are also ideal for anyone that prefers individual tuition. During this session I look closely at the relationship between the owner and the dog. When I arrive I will first collect a history, before even meeting your dog, once I have done this, I start working with you and your dog.

1-2-1 sessions and home visits available most days. 

 A  Puppy Visit is a good way to make sure that your pup  grows into an obedient, well mannered, people & dog friendly dog. During this session I will guide you through your first few months with your puppy, covering toilet training, mouthing, socialisation, crate training, feeding  and many other things. Booking a puppy 1-2-1 session enables you to get those basics right from day one, allowing you to start the way you mean to go on. A puppy one to one will last anything from 1 hour to 1.5 hours. An older dogs 1-2-1 will last between  1-2 hours depending what we need to work on.
