K9 Matters Dog Training
Why Choose Us?
The task of finding the right training school is crucial to the success of you training your dog. Not only are there many options to acquire dog training skills but there are also many differences in how methods are applied.
All our training sessions are designed so that you will never need to seek a one-to-one consultation. You will build a stronger bond with your dog and save a lot of money!
Whilst we teach all the generic exercises found in many dog training books, on websites and other pet dog organisations using positive reward based techniques, our primary aim is to teach owners how to prevent or overcome inappropriate behaviour/s. For example; aggression, dominance and insubordination!
We use (where appropriate) the most effective methods! We are not restricted by the various associations that gain to profit from certain concepts that claim “a one size fits all” approach i.e. reward the good, ignore the bad!
This approach will often work for puppies and low drive dogs and is also limited to the teaching aspect only! Our common sense approach is a progressive one from elementary training to development of a respectful, well behaved companion dog.
It's important that you attend a reputable dog training school and invest some time practising at home. Selecting a trainer simply because s/he is closest to your home can be a poor decision. Please view our Calendar for details on venues, dates and training times.

Socialisation & Behaviour Workshop
"Life's leashes are unavoidable, the challenge is which end controls
Dogs know when they are connected to a leash, many humans don't
Sometimes a leash is necessary to keep us moving in the right direction
Discipline is the ability to walk in the right direction without a leash"
by Roger HiteThis is one of the most effective and recommended workshop in the South of England. It lasts approximately 1.5hrs and costs £15 per session. No booking is required and it starts at 10:00hrs every Sunday at Stapeley Manor Farm, RG29 1JE.
- Does your dog pull on the lead?
- Does your dog display unacceptable behaviour when meeting other dogs/people?
