Learn to work with your spaniel's natural instincts, not against them.

Hi, I'm Katie, the founder and director of Chiltern K9.​
 
I have 3 dogs of my own: A working cocker, Basil, a springer spaniel, Jasper, and a doberman, Evie.
​
I have Basil, my first dog, to thank for leading me here today; I was completely out of my depth with him as a young dog. All he wanted to do was chase, hunt, bark at everything and run off; listening to me was at the bottom of his list of priorites.
 
I had dreams of off lead hikes, running together and fun days out, but struggled to find training that was effective for a dog so intense and full of energy.
​
The truth is, most standard pet training isn't enough for working spaniels. They have strong instincts to hunt that have been genetically hardwired into them for centuries, and they need training in a way that incorporates and harnesses that rather than working against it.

Even though your spaniel may never "work", they still have all the same needs as their working ancestors, and unmet needs can quickly become behaviour problems.
​
The Chiltern K9 team are specialists in helping you to understand and harness your spaniel's natural instincts, and channel all that drive into working with you to resolve behaviour issues and create a relationship based on trust and mutual understanding.
 
Our mission is to help you and your dog thrive so you can enjoy life together, however that looks for you.​​​​​​​​​
