- House training made simple
- Calm greetings (no more jumping up)
- Lead manners from day one
- Confidence with people, dogs, and new places

What they say about us
Who we are
About Us
I’m Steve, founder of Cardiff K9 Training.
I know what it’s like to live with a dog who won’t listen, won’t settle, and makes everyday life stressful. You have read every book, watched countless youtube videos but are now even more confused. I’ve been there – and that’s why I’m passionate about helping owners like you.
From first-time puppy parents to owners of reactive rescue dogs. My goal is simple: to give you the tools and confidence to enjoy life with your dog again.
Training isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, understanding, and building a relationship that works both ways.

Each training session typically lasts 60 minutes. This duration allows sufficient time for practice without overwhelming the dog. We find this length helps maintain high levels of concentration and effectiveness.
We start training puppies as young as 8 weeks old, focusing initially on simple commands and socialisation. However, it’s never too late to start training, as we offer programs tailored to dogs of all ages and at any stage of their life.
We offer both group training classes and private sessions. Our group classes are great for socialisation and learning in a dynamic environment, while private sessions are ideal for addressing specific behavioural issues or for dogs who may not thrive in a group setting.
Yes, we cover all behavioural modification for various issues including aggression, anxiety, excessive barking and more. We assess each case individually and develop a personalised training plan based on the dog’s specific needs and the owner’s goals.
As the dog’s owner, your involvement is crucial to the success of the training. We expect owners to participate actively in sessions, practice regularly at home, and consistently use the techniques taught. Commitment to the training process is essential for achieving the best results.
