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 seen on the BBC
How it Happens

The Social Dog
Well July has been quite a month....from big dogs to little dogs to every breed inbetween. We've had 31 degrees heat one week followed by torrential rain and thunder storms the next. Phil and Teddy went to a birthday party for a lovely 7 year old girl, Phil had a 2 night stay in Wythenshawe hospital (infected dog bite photo at photo 6!), we've been to the vets with a poorly Daisy and then Phil ended up with cuts to his shins following an incident with an excitable dog on the park whose owner came over for a chat. The dog was on an extending cord lead (which we've never been a big fan of - see photo 9). ๐คฃ๐๐กโ๐ฉ๐ง. Here's hoping August brings less injuries, less rain, a bit of sunshine, no more trips to the vet for our Daisy and a lot more happy dogs and their owners. #dogtrainerlife

Please meet the handsome Rex. He is a combination of 3 breeds. Any guesses as to which 3? ๐ค (there's a big clue as to one of the breeds) ๐

Daisy was poorly at the start of the week. A trip to the vet, a change in diet as recommended by @cheshirepetsupplies and some time relaxing in the garden has meant our girl is smiling again ๐ผ๐๐ฅฐ

We don't see this breed very often. He is a rescue dog and since giving him a home his owners have experienced some challenging behaviour from him - dog reactivity being one area that needed addressing. We achieved a lot in two hours with this handsome boy today. He has a great name (Donald), but can you name the breed?? (His own family need not comment!! ๐๐๐คฃ)

12 years ago today we met and fell in love with Oscar for the first time. As a young dog his recall was non-existent, he would steal food from your plate, he chewed his way through books, cds and dvds and was partial to a bit of sheep herding ๐ฌ oh and woe betide any other dog that went near his sticks ๐. All that said, we couldn't have met a more special Golden Cocker Spaniel and I hope our special boy is still finding plenty of sticks and getting up to mischief #happygotchaday Oscar ๐๐

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.

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

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.
