Dave & Benson
Benson (a very friendly and excitable Cockapoo) and I have been attending training classes with Keegan’s Knines since he was 3 months old.
Prior to this I was a novice dog owner. In the intervening 2 years with, the help of Julie Keegan and her dedicated team Benson has achieved his Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum awards and has won dog of the year for 2018.
More importantly Julie has been able to provide us both with a solid foundation of training throughout puppy classes upon which to build and grow in ability and confidence. As a result Benson and I have moved onto more advanced training in adult classes and gundog classes.
With the professionalism and friendly support provided by Julie week in and week out Benson has become a dog that I have been able to take anywhere. He is responsive, well behaved and a pleasure to take for walks.
Julie’s classes are always a mixture of activities that help you improve your dog’s behaviour and wellbeing as well as, consolidation of previously learnt exercises that help you perfect, your behaviour control. The whole course is about allowing both owner and dog to get the best out of each other based on mutual respect and leadership where necessary.
Above all Keegan’s Knines classes have always been a place that Benson has looked forward to going to and have provided us with friendly, patient and expert advice along with lots of readily available support across a range of social media whenever we have needed it.
So a massive thankyou to Julie, for all your help and support. Without it I would not have the ‘go anywhere dog’ we have now. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Keegan’s Knines to anyone wanting to enrol on a dog training program.

Hi Dave. Thank you for your lovely review. It has been a real pleasure working with you and Benson. You have done a great job with him. Myself and the team are very proud of you both.

Been with Keegan's Knines for a long while now. When we started my dog was reactive but with a lot of hard work both in and out of class he is much, much better. He isn't perfect, he still has things he reacts to but the list is getting smaller. He has earned his gold certificate and goes to agility classes. Your dog won't be perfectly trained in one session and definitely not if you don't keep the exercises up outside of class but Julie teaches you how to get your dog to do the exercises and how to manage unwanted behaviours. She is very supportive as you go through the process but won't do it for you! More...

Julie is very professional at all times and always tries to accommodate dog and owner in any way she can help. The best trainer in the area who understands all the dogs in the class!

Have used Julie to train my GSD since a puppy. She has an affinity with dogs and gets results from your dog and you! Best trainer I’ve found in years of owning dogs

My partner and I have been attending Julie's classes for a year and a half. We have completed the puppy, bronze, silver, gold and have almost completed the platinum award! Our dog is very anxious of new people and in certain situations but with Julie's advice and support we have seen huge progress with our dog. Classes are always fun and Julie is always professional. Julie has also taken my dog on walks and I have 100% trust in knowing she is in the best hands. Thank you for all of your guidance over the last 19 months! From Jodie, Dan & Lexi :) More...

We have been attending Julies classes with our labradoodle since he was 11 weeks old - he is now 18 months and he has just achieved his Gold award, someting we never felt would be possible when we started. We find the lessons very helpful, Julies approach builds our confidence which has helped our energetic doodle settle into our family life. A BIG THANK YOU! More...

I began attending classes with my Labrador after advice from a behaviourist who stated that Ruby was a reactive dog who would only progress through extensive training and with certain methods that I was not comfortable using on my young dog! I was at my wits end when I found the website for "Keegans Knines".I contacted Julie who assessed Ruby, she told me she could help and I began attending class. Ruby and I have worked our way from bronze up to platinum group which is where we are now . We have had so much support from Julie and the other assistant trainers that I can honestly say now Ruby is very much a different dog! The ability to attend a class on a Saturday morning is also a bonus for me as I work full time.Julie is very hands on at class she will explain things to you and is always contactable outside of class if you have any issues with your practice. I can honestly say classes have been money well spent for me and my dog is actually a joy to be around now! THANK YOU SO MUCH! More...

Having had 2 older rescue dogs that were trained, when we got Robson he was 9 weeks, we were determined to train him to a level that we wanted and also to socialise him with other dogs which was an issue for both our previous dogs. When Julie came to us for a 1-2-1 we found her very accommodating and friendly, she understood what we needed and spent 2 hours with us at home and gave us lots of encouragement and lots to work on on our own at home. Her classes are a great help too, just gives you extra support once a week to help with the training at home. Can't recommend her enough. Will definitely be attending more classes. More...

Mac did not have a great start in life – he was a Turkish street dog that was run over at about 3 months old. This left him with pins in his foreleg, no hip joint on his right side, and a fear of traffic.
His short time on the streets and the treatment he got from some people – especially men - left him scared of people. He reacted to pretty much anything and everything!
Mac and I have been attending classes for 8 around months now and the change in him is astounding. He is so much more confident. We have been able to move from the reactive class to a regular class and Mac has even passed his Bronze!
There is always one-to-one attention in classes, which are always varied and interesting, and Julie has individual plans and progress for each dog / owner - I confess that Julie has trained me as much as Mac!
I cannot recommend Keegan’s Knines enough. Mac and I love going and will be attending for a very long time.
