Training
Our Philosophy
Every dog is unique, and every owner learns differently.
That’s why our training programs are designed to suit your pace and your dog’s individual needs.
We don’t just train your dog, we train you to train your dog, giving you the tools and confidence to create lasting results and a beautiful bond.
Because happy dogs make happy homes.
Training Program’s
At K9 House, Dog Training Programs are tailored to you and your dog-loving team. Even our puppy classes are kept to a minimum size so that we can give that individual attention!
Personalised Training for Every Dog
No two dogs are the same. Whether your pup is a lively puppy, a stubborn adolescent, or a senior needing gentle guidance, our programs are tailored to address their personality, breed, and behavior.
Training That Fits Your Schedule
We understand that everyone learns at a different speed. Our flexible approach allows you to progress at a pace that works for you and your dog, so learning is effective, stress-free, and enjoyable.
Learn to Train Your Dog
Our mission is to empower you as an owner. You’ll gain hands-on techniques, clear guidance, and practical strategies to teach your dog with confidence, ensuring the training sticks long after your sessions end.
Structured Programs for Real Results
From basic obedience to advanced behavior support, our programs are structured to:
- Build trust and communication between you and your dog
- Address specific behavioral challenges
- Provide step-by-step guidance for consistent progress
- Celebrate successes along the way
Training Packages
1:1 Training
Life Skills
Sometimes we all need a little help with our dogs, and that’s exactly what our 1:1 training sessions are designed for.
Whether your dog pulls on the lead, struggles with impulse control, or just needs help with everyday manners, our personalised training sessions give you practical guidance and support.
Behaviour Issues
Tailored Training That Fits Your Dog
No two dogs are the same.
Behaviour is shaped by environment, experience, and the people around them, which is why our training starts with understanding your dog and their environment, not forcing them into a generic program.

1:1 Loose Lead Training: Teach your dog to walk politely by your side
Does your dog pull on the lead and turn walks into a workout? Our 1:1 Loose Lead Training Session is designed to help you and your dog enjoy calmer, more relaxed walks together.
During this one-hour private session, we will teach you the techniques needed to achieve a loose lead walk. The focus is on helping you understand how to use the lead to clearly communicate with your dog, so they learn to walk beside you without pulling.
This hands-on session is tailored to you and your dog, giving you practical skills you can confidently apply during your own daily walks.
What you’ll learn
🐾 How to communicate with your dog through the lead
🐾 The correct technique for achieving a loose lead walk
🐾 How to reset your dog when pulling begins
🐾 How to practise and reinforce the behaviour during everyday walks
Our goal is simple — to teach you the skills to train your dog yourself, creating enjoyable and stress-free walks for both of you.
One session. Practical techniques. Walks you’ll both enjoy.
