We’re so glad we chose puppy training with Keith & Lorraine. It’s been such a fantastic experience for both us and our pup, Disco.
The opportunity to socialise with other puppies has been invaluable and the training sessions have been engaging, practical, and so helpful.
You can really see how passionate Keith & Lorraine are about what they do, they’re incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and brilliant with the dogs. Nothing beats in-person training and the confidence it gives both puppies and their owners.
We’ve already booked Disco in for doggy daycare and boarding because we know he’ll be in the best hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for puppy training.

Working with Keiths Canines for puppy training was a great experience from start to finish. The training was professional, patient, and tailored to my puppy’s needs. Keith took the time to explain not only what to do, but why certain techniques work, which made it much easier to continue the training at home. I saw noticeable improvements in basic obedience, focus and overall behaviour. More...

I highly recommend Keith as a trainer. He is dedicated and patience is excellent, guiding my dogs to respond to what he is teaching them.
They both completed his puppy classes, both achieving a distinction. He also gave me all the skills I need to continue training as part of their daily routine.
My dogs also love going to his agility classes, where they are learning new skills and enjoy socialising with the other dogs. I also board them with him and they have the best care you could wish for.

I would highly recommend Keith and Lorraine for all of your pooches needs. I went to Keith for puppy classes with both of my dogs and he was a god send. We also went onto go to Keith’s other classes as the dogs got a bit older. My two absolutely love Keith. I only have to mention his name and they go all waggy tailed. We also board with Keith and Lorraine and my dogs adore them both. They also go to play every week and throughly enjoy playing with the other dogs and being fussed upon. You can be reassured they will have an amazing time whether it be a class or a doggy play date. More...

My dog Hattie first went to puppy training at Keith’s canines three years ago she was not easy to train as was a rescue dog from Serbia and had a mind of her own Keith and Lorraine were so patient with her and she done well! Since then she stays regularly with them at doggy daycare and she loves it! It’s home from home! I would highly recommend Keith’s Canines! More...
Reply from Keith's Canines
You're quite right, Julie - Hattie wasn't the easiest to train!! But she's turned out good and she is part of our family now - a grumpy Hattie is a happy Hattie!!!

I initially contacted Keith to help with Bonnie, a re-homed rescue. She was soon coming to chill out Tuesday and puppy play time where she learnt to socialise with other dogs.
She then started going to fun agility which she loves and has completed a life skills training course.
She goes to Keith and Lorraine’s for doggy day care and loves it. Both Keith and Lorraine are friendly, but more importantly know how to treat and train dogs (and their owners) which makes a huge difference to the quality of dog ownership.

My dog has been going to Keith for daycare and also overnight stays since he was 4 months old. He absolutely loves going and is so excited when he sees Keith in the mornings. Keith has an excellent way with dogs, responds quickly and is easy to communicate with, would highly recommend. More...
Lucinda
We met with Keith for a 1-2-1 session very early on after adopting a very reactive rescue dog. We were very worried we’d never get anywhere as he was SO reactive, but Keith encouraged us to come along to his classes with Leo.
After attending the course we started to see marked changes in Leo’s behaviour - he was more responsive, he could focus his attention on us when asked and he was making friends.
It’s been a few years now and we still attend Keith’s agility classes and socials with Leo. He is visibly excited to go to these sessions and we think the socialising with other dogs makes a big difference to his behaviour.
Keith and Lorraine also look after Leo when we go away - he trusts them and it’s very difficult to get his trust! Last time we picked him up he was sad to leave which is a great review in itself.

Thank you Sophie. Alpin is one of the family now; a right little scruffbag!! loves a good tussle with me!!
Rieke
Me and my rescue started to take classes with Keith to help him settle into his walks and socialise. Keith did a tremendous job and every session moved us a bit forward. All classes were very structured and I received a lot of tips for practice. Hector and I continue to attend Keith's agility and socials which are always attended by lovely dog owners and Hector is left happy. I can highly recommend their daycare and classes and am super happy I found them! More...
Reply from Keith's Canines
It is amazing how Leo has come on; I still remember the first Canine Champs course where he was quite aggressive to me - now he likes nothing more than jumping up for a cuddle. Well done for putting in the hard work.

From day one, our dogs have completely trusted him; and that says everything. He’s calm, consistent, and clearly understands dogs on a level that goes beyond just “looking after” them.
They’re not just supervised, they’re cared for.
Pick-ups and drop-offs are always prompt and reliable (which makes life so much easier), and his pricing is clear and transparent — no surprises, no awkwardness, just straightforward professionalism.
But the real proof? If I say, “Are you going to Keith’s?” the tail wagging is immediate and absolutely undeniable. They love going. No hesitation. No drama. Just pure excitement.
As owners, that kind of peace of mind is priceless. We know they’re safe, happy, and genuinely enjoying themselves.
Would recommend in a heartbeat.

We followed Keith's 8 session puppy training course this summer with our Cairn Terrier, Lottie. She absolutely loved it!
Keith took us through everything really logically and we had a lot fun training our puppies in the Scout Hall and outside at the Dog Run in Enfield. We learned a lot about the do's and don't's, and feel that this has definitely enhanced both Lottie's happy life - and our own. :-)
Would definitely recommend this if you have a new puppy!

Keith and Lorraine are amazing! I would highly recommend Keith’s Canines.
We’ve been attending puppy classes, deputy dog and canine champ classes, agility and puppy playtime sessions with our dog Dolly since she was 12 weeks old.
Dolly also goes to day care every week and has enjoyed lots of overnight stays with Keith and Lorraine and their wonderful dog Hudson. She always has the best time and has made lots of doggy friends.
Keith and Lorraine are so lovely, knowledgable, experienced and patient and have such a good sense of humour. We learn so much from them and have so much fun along the way!
It’s so nice to know that Dolly is always in safe hands and so well looked after like one of the family when she’s with Keith and Lorraine. As soon as she sees them her tail goes into overdrive and she does her little wiggle dance - which she reserves for her very favourite people!
Keith and Lorraine are clearly not just adored by Dolly, but by all of the dogs they look after. They’re constantly being followed around by happy, waggy-tailed friends!
Keith’s Canines isn’t just a business. Keith and Lorraine have built a wonderful community of lovely dogs and dog-loving humans and we get so much from being a part of it.
Thank you Keith, Lorraine and Hudson!

Keith was amazing, and we came away with solid training and skills that have stayed with us. From there, we continued into agility, which Bruno still attends and absolutely loves. Keith has a natural gift with dogs, and it’s easy to see why we affectionately call him “Uncle Keith” Bruno adores him.

I tried several dog trainers before I came across Keith's Canine Service. Without a doubt Keith is the best and most experienced trainer to help me with my reactive German Shepherd. I started off with 1-2-1 sessions and have now moved onto group obedience classes. When I first started training with Keith daily dog walks were very stressful - Serge has significantly improved and my walks are much more enjoyable and stress free. I thoroughly recommend Keith's Canine Services More...
Reply from Keith's Canines
Thank you its been so good seeing Serge progress and become such a lovely dog.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing the progress made in the puppy/dog week on week; it's a fantastic feeling!!
What inspired you to start your own business?
my own rescue dog Hudson. I wanted the best for him and so took him to a dog behaviourist and then on to a trainer. Seeing what was possible changed my life completely and now I so look forward to helping people with their dogs.
Why should our clients choose you?
My passion for animals, dogs in particular, is one reason. My genuine wish to see dogs progress and turn into well behaved dogs and then see the owners going away happy is a joy.
