Welcome to K9 Klass Dog Training
At K9 Klass we are dedicated to helping you teach your dog the skills and behaviours required to live a happy, enriched life using up to date, reward-based training methods, designed to be fun for both you and your canine companion!
Our kind and ethical approach to dog training will help you to build a bond with your dog that will stand the test of time. We use only reward-based methods using the latest techniques to positively reinforce behaviour so that your dog enjoys working with you and will be motivated to repeat the behaviour you desire not the behaviour you don’t.
It has been scientifically proven that outdated pack leader, dominance and force-based dog training is not only damaging for you and your dog’s relationship but can cause lasting psychological damage to your dog. Punishing the behaviour merely supresses it and does not teach the dog how to deal with and overcome the problems they are having or how to behave correctly. True behaviour modification takes time, care and patience but the results speak for themselves!
We offer an extensive range of services for all your dog training needs, from group classes, bespoke puppy training and 121 training to owner only educational workshops. We also have specialist classes for dog sports and activities including pet gundog training, scent work, tracking, recall, lead walking and pre-school agility.
Our classes are held at our venue at Clanfield Memorial Hall, Waterlooville, which has both indoor and outdoor facilities, allowing training to take place whatever the weather. 121 training can take place either at the client’s home or at a location of their choice within the Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Havant, Emsworth, Petersfield and Fareham areas.

Quickly growing in popularity, tracking involves the dog following track scent, disturbance in the ground left by human footsteps. Using their nose to follow the trail, the dog will identify any evidence left along the way and track the route of their target person. Suitable for all breeds, tracking is a great way to work in partnership with your dog, provide them with a job to do and give them a great source of both physical and mental exercise. We are shortly about to start running bronze level workshops and trials, with silver level workshops and trials to follow later in 2021.
