Keith's Canines

I have worked with dog trainers in the past and have not always had the best experience- so I was really happy to find Keith friendly and attentive to my dog’s specific needs. He made me feel completely at ease and not at all patronised as he took me through the various exercises leading towards the time when I was able to long lead walk my jack Russell cross. Such an improvement- as I was unable to walk him at all before due to his pulling and impetuous chasing instinct aggravating a shoulder injury.
Thank you Keith! More...

Keith has helped us learn and teach our Yorkshire Terrier to be more confident & less afraid of big dogs, to watch this tiny dog interact and be happy to see dogs so much bigger than him, to see him happy is so worth the time we put in to watch our sweet little soul socializing. This is all thanks to Keith.

I first met keith at his puppy training class and now attend his chillout tuesdays where my puppy Bobby has a great time with his dog friends.
Keith and Lorraine have given me such good advice which i appreciate . I would recommend keithscaine service More...

Our beautiful rescue girl, Belka, came to us having been a street dog from half way across the world. She is a very human-focused girl and was immediately sociable (and still is) with literally every human being she ever met (she will literally fall at your feet) but a little unpredictable, reactive and snappy with dogs she passed on walks. Fine with dogs she had been 'introduced' to but not good with passing ones. And absolutely out of control every time a motorbike whizzed past. I very much wanted to improve her behaviour on walks and engaged the help of Keith. After around 5 or 6 1:1s, I really felt I had lots of coping and control mechanisms under our belt, such as advice about leads, training treats, watching for triggers and the 3 Ds of training. Belka also benefitted hugely (and still does) from Keith's social sessions, whenever we're able to get along. We have no behaviour issues with Belka at all during these sessions and she loves to see her doggy friends. Overall, she is still reactive at times and is a work-in-progress but I feel much more able to cope with issues when they arise now. More...

Keith looked after Doug whilst we had a week's holiday and Doug loved it so much that he tries to get into Keith's house when we walk past. Have since enrolled Doug on puppy training, Keith is very patient with him, despite Doug's reluctance to sit still! Would definitely recommend. More...

Thanks Janice, Doug is improving though Doug and sit still don't really go together!!!

We started with Keith for puppy training of our young cocker spaniel - Bruno - when we first got him in September 2021. At the end of the course, he received a merit by the independent assessor , testament to Keith’s measured approach and professional tuition with our little bundle of energy. Since then we have near weekly ‘fungility’ sessions which are a lot of fun for the dogs and owners alike. We regularly use Keiths doggy day care rather than leaving Bruno at home alone for extended periods - he loves these visits and always comes back to us tired but happy, as he gets to spend so much time playing and running around with Hudson and other day care dogs.
I can’t speak highly enough of Keith’s training methods, he always has the dogs best interest at heart and always gives a relaxed but professional service. Keith is a really nice guy - your dog will love him as much as he does them More...

Thank you Martin and Marilena; Bruno does hold a special place in my heart and is always so cheerful.

Keith is brilliant. Took our puppy cocapoo to his puppy classes and he taught us so much. He cares about all the dogs from the bottom of his heart. He is so patient with us owners and the dogs. We learnt so much and were very proud to finish the course with distinction - couldn’t have done it without Keith and Lorraine.
Highly recommend Keith’s Canine Services More...

Absolutely brilliant and loved the knowledge and confidence in dogs they have . My dog seemed really happy here would definately recommend .

Our puppy attended Keith’s puppy class and he absolutely loved it. He enjoyed the social side of meeting other puppies and learnt so much in the classes. Keith is great with the dogs and has so much knowledge. Our dog now goes to his chill out Tuesdays where he gets to play and run around with his dog friends along with some agility training !!!! Would highly recommend for puppies and dogs of all ages 👍🏻 More...

Fantastic trainer and very professional! My first dog ever and I the books can only teach you so much! It’s great as even after the course they are still abalone, just have to call.

Keith has an amazing passion for dogs and training. I met Keith when I needed some help with my Romanian rescue-Cleo. Cleo was full of nerves and I went to Keith’s pup stars class. There we were shown all the skills and techniques you need to have a happy content and trained dog. I have since used Keith for day care when my wife and I were in holiday and I couldn’t have put Cleo in safer hands! More...

Keith is a doggy diamond!
We first joined his puppy class in late 2021/early 2022. His classes were 1st rate and our little spaniel ‘Bruno’ made good progress despite being the most excitable in the group. His assessment resulted in a merit and since then we enjoy almost weekly ‘fun-gility’ sessions with a variety of other owners and dogs.

Keith is a top notch trainer, loves all the dogs and is incredibly patient to accommodate all breeds and their owners. More...

Absolutely exceptional!!!! I am so so delighted I met Keith who was able to assist me to train Millie our pup. Amazing. Millie loved every session. Such thought and fun tips. Without being overbearing or making ‘me’ feel ridiculous. Millie is so responsive. I didn’t want to let her turn. A true pleasure. Walks on and off lead no challenges. Recall superb. Looking forward to more classes. Thank you. X More...

As a first time puppy owner and mum to an ASD child I needed help with training the dog and getting him to understand our family my son and his stimming. Keith was felixible and when he agreed our pup wasn't quite ready for the group pup classes he recommended 1 to 1 classes. the difference in our Frankie from cowering under the bench in cedars park to now being confident with other dogs and a much better walker! I have also attended the socialisation classes in a secure field where I could let Frankie off lead and even use the agility equipment! I highly recommend every puppy owner should have to have training as part of the ownership! it's definitely made me rethink the style of training I use and the type of dog owner I want to be! Hire Keith you will not regret it! More...

I found them professional,fun and always happy to help with any questions that arise from raising a puppy into a well behaved,confident dog. We now attend the weekly agility classes that are so much fun.I would definitely recommend Keith’s canine services for anyone with a dog. More...

Keith is a great trainer. Our puppy really enjoyed his classes, as did we. I would happily use his services again, and recommend him to others.

I met Keith after I bought our lovely cocker spaniel Torvi when we were looking for a dog trainer. After an initial telephone conversation and completing a few forms we booked a block of lessons which were very reasonably priced.
The lesson’s were very enjoyable for both me and Torvi, she seemed to pick up tohe rights from wrongs under the careful guidance of Keith and his team.
Keith is a very approachable person and always willing to think outside the box to help you and your canine friends to achieve a pleasant well behaved dog. More...

I would highly recommend Keith’s canine services, he has a great way with dogs of all ages and is an excellent trainer. He has worked wonders with our puppy, who adores him!

We met Keith through puppy training classes, he is amazing with dogs and our little Cooper loves him. We learnt so many useful tips in his classes and continue to seek his excellent advice with our boy’s ongoing training. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for training or help with their dogs. Keith also run’s agility sessions which the dogs all love! More...

Keith is always keen to help very helpful and thorough. You know his passionate about animals and always willing to give advice. His training with our rescue dog has worked well! More...

I would fully recommend Keith’s canine service. We have a rescue dog called Remy, she is very large and barks at dogs and people. Since having one to one lessons with Keith, Remy has become less anxious, can socialise with dogs and barks far less, he is amazing with her and me as I was anxious to walk her. I am not sure what Remy and myself would have done without Keith, an amazing dog trainer. More...
