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

As some of you may know, I gave up my 9-5 office based job last year in order to put my time and energy into K9 Services Plus not the dog training side as that is best left to Phil but more the admin and social media side (hence the increase in Facebook...

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.

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.
