K9 Services Plus
Over 25 years of experience dog training and in dealing with canine issues.
We are based in South Manchester and provide dog training all over the UK. Previous consultations have taken place in Altrincham, Didsbury, Stockport, Oldham, Cumbria, Leeds, Doncaster, Buckinghamshire, Essex and Italy.
We are happy to travel to you and can help with the following:
- Basic puppy training including toilet training, socialisation, and recall.
- Obedience training including heel work and the ‘stay’ and ‘leave it’ commands.
- Canine behavioral issues including dog/human aggression, separation anxiety and chasing livestock.
Whether you are experiencing problems with recall, meeting other dogs or lead walking; the first appointment generally takes place at your home address; as quite often this is where behavioral issues start.
We have a fully enclosed training field just a couple of miles outside of Altrincham, Cheshire where your dog can meet and greet my dogs (always in a controlled manner), let off some steam and get down to the serious business of owner and dog working together.

K9 Services at the BBC
Oscar manipulating BBC breakfast hosts Dan Walker, Louise Minchin and Sally Nugent on the famous Red Sofa with his puppy dog eyes and all-round charm.
Phil and Oscar recently did the rounds at the BBC to talk all about dog behaviour and how with just a look or a bark they can get us, humans, to do what they want.
Phil, however, points out that if we do not just give in to their demands and with a little training ‘It is less hassle in the long run for a little hard work in the beginning’.
As well as being on the Red Sofa on BBC breakfast, Phil also chatted with Mike Sweeney on Radio Manchester, interviewed on 5 Live with Nicky Campbell, BBC Radio Cornwall, Stoke, York, Newcastle, Herefordshire, and Guernsey.
Here are a few photos and video from their day

We had the lovely Ella of @petportraitsbyella do this gorgeous portrait of our boy. Ella is so talented and we could tell it meant a lot to her to get this perfect for us.
Swipe to see who got in on the photo...I think she misses him as much as we do ๐ฅฐ๐๐ค
Happy 11th birthday to Buster. He's our funny, affectionate boy who loves tennis balls (he keeps a stash in his crate), swimming in the sea and giving kisses ๐๐พ๐๐๐๐

We all know Huskies are bred to pull, but that doesn't mean they have to pull you on every walk!

They are also stunning looking dogs! ๐

Mother's Day is this weekend....if your mum is a dog owner and you're struggling to find the right gift or bored of buying flowers or chocolates for the mum/nana/auntie/carer in your life why not treat them to a one hour dog training session with us?
Or maybe your dog is looking to buy his or her mum a mother's day present for being the best doggy mum? We will provide you with a gift voucher (to be used within the next 6 months) so mum can book her 4 legged child in and brush up on obedience training, practice lead walking, work on recall or just come to socialise her dog with our three dogs and have a brew and a chat.
Appointment to take place in a mutually convenient location. Feel free to get in touch for more info ๐โ๐ฆบ๐พ๐๐ถ๐

Another busy couple of days...including helping a French Bulldog to be polite around a new baby, continuing the lead walking training with a very strong Chocolate Labrador, a second visit to Wilson the Romanian rescue dog (who wanted to bite me on the first visit!), some general doggy socialisation, a cute puppy visit and of course time to hang out at the park. Our 4 legged friends can bring all sorts of challenges, but they give us unconditional love and a reason to get up and get out so enjoy them! ๐พ๐ถ

A massive thanks Phil for all your help and training tips with our rescue Staffie she's turned out a great addition to our family.
Jenny Powell

I would not hesitate to recommend Phil and his dog training methods. The sessions were fun, achieved great results and Phil was always on hand to give advice when needed.
Chris Smalling
Footballer

We sought advice from Phil to help us to bring on our young dog. Phil provided us with information and techniques which have helped us to train Freddie to become the friendly, well rounded and lovely dog that he is.
