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.

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 has a great rapport with the puppies and dogs he trains. Our
labradoodle puppy has enjoyed all his classes and Keith gives good practical advice to the owners which is always very helpful. Our pup loves the weekly outdoor socialisation sessions that Keith runs and he can’t wait to play with his four-legged buddies! 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...

Keeps her brain occupied and focused. Also, so good for her fitness and socialising.

We first met keith and Lorraine when our dog attended his fantastic puppy classes which are a brilliant starting class. Keith and Lorraine are amazing with all of the dogs and their owners. The amount of knowledge they have is incredible. We now attend his chill out Tuesday sessions where our dog has the best time socialising with his doggy friends. We are also very lucky that they provide a dog sitting service where we know our dog will be looked after and loved. Amazing people with a wonderful business. More...

My older dog has successfully completed both Keith’s Pupstars and Deputy Dawg training and achieved distinction in both. My puppy has started Pupstars training.

Keith is a skilled trainer, who knows how to bring and out the best in my dogs and provides me with the knowledge I need to give my dogs a good base to get the best out of the training.

He also runs an agility class which is a fun environment, which is giving both my dogs a lot of confidence to try out new things and meet and socialise with other dogs.

They have both taken part in socialising in a secure field with lots of different dogs each week and love the freedom.

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

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.

Keith is local to me, but based on other reviews I hoped he'd be the right trainer for us ..... And he was!
I was a first time puppy owner and with a child who has ASD I needed the dog to come into our home our lives and help calm my son. He needed to form a bond with our son and understand his flapping hands and jumps.
We initially attended puppy class with 6 other dogs but it became apparent that our puppy was nervous and not yet ready for group classes. Keith kindly agreed on 1 to 1 sessions and the difference from lesson 1 in Cedars park with Frank cowering under the bench to 3 lessons later we are walking him on a long line and working on his recall!

Keith took the time to get to know our needs our family and help us with practical and simple instruction on how to get the best from our little sausage!

I cannot recommend him highly enough .
We have since gone to puppy socialisation classes and this is where in a secure environment little Frankie was allowed on a long line and off lead to try the tunnel and jumps.

I thoroughly recommend Keith, you will not regret it!

Q&As

I love seeing the progress made in the puppy/dog week on week; it's a fantastic feeling!!

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.

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.

Yes, I can email over training and 121 plans and I can offer zoom meetings as well.

I've done more 121 sessions, and offered on-line services

Social Manners - how to greet and interact with dogs and people appropriately.

Classes are relaxed, informative and fun. A maximum of 5 dogs per class to ensure dogs and owners have space and time to progress.

Some dogs have more complex needs and group classes may not be right for them; our 121 sessions are ideal if your dog is uncomfortable around other people and dogs. They may be nervous, reactive, anxious or easily distracted, or you may just have a couple of areas that you wish to improve on. They may need more time than others and our 121 training is tailored to each dogs’ individual needs; is separation anxiety becoming an issue now that more people are going back to work?.. We will show you how to improve your dog’s confidence, social skills, have better recall and focus and other life skills you want help with.

We don’t just walk your dog; we will mentally stimulate your dog using professionally learned training methods, practise social skills and address elements of any behavioural issues you may want to cover.
