Imagine enjoying a quiet evening without barking, stress-free walks in the park, or leaving the house without worry - that’s what we work towards together.

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.

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.
