“Patient & Supportive”

I completed the puppy pre-school and Elementary school course with my pup. Vicky is great, patient and supportive and only uses positive training methods. Looking forward to starting the agility foundation course.

“Learned lots of useful tools”

Both of my dogs, Willow (4 year old Labrador) and Alfie (Cocker spaniel puppy) have had training with Vicky at K9 Kindergarten. Willow LOVED agility and we have learned lots of really useful tools to puppy train Alfie. Can’t recommend highly enough. 😀

“Great Teacher”

We have been to Vicky for puppy classes, trick or treat classes and have been doing agility with her for over a year now, great teacher and wish we had found her sooner with our first dog as other local puppy training classes just don’t match up!

“Highly Recommended!”

I joined Vicky’s beginners puppy classes with an excitable bearded collie pup and followed up with elementary, trick or treat classes and agility from scratch. Vicky is a highly knowledgeable and friendly trainer and have great indoor and outdoor training venues.

Highly recommend!

“My Puppy Enjoyed Going”

I’ve completed two courses now with Vicky and you come away with the skills to train your dog. She made every dog in the class obedient and compliant, even the naughty puppies. My puppy enjoyed going too as she would always rush over to the door. You learn loads but in a fun, relaxed way.

“Saved Our Dog’s Life”

We approached them after our 5 year old Vizsla was showing aggressive behaviours towards other dogs. We were afraid that Loki’s behaviour would escalate to a point where there were drastic consequences.

James and Vicky not only helped Loki change his behaviour and become a more calm and controlled dog, they also taught us alternative ways to help him change his behaviour.

At the end of our sessions with the pair, Loki is now a well balanced, controlled and confident dog and we feel completely comfortable with him around other dogs. They really did save our dog’s life.

We would highly recommend them to anyone!

“Small and Friendly”

It was a great little class. Teddy and I enjoyed going each week and it definitely encouraged me to be more consistent (I need to get back on it and join the next class !)

The class was small friendly and kind. Vicky was very supportive and helpful, providing lots of information. Handy local venue in Rhiwbina.

“Like Chalk & Cheese”

Compared to other courses I have attended which were large, regimented and not at all positive this was “Chalk & Cheese”

“I Gained SO Much…”

Wonderful training. I would recommend to any owner of a puppy. Educates you as a trainer and the puppy enjoys it so much. I gained so much from the course.

“A Confident, Happy Dog”

Wish I had known about Vicky when I first got a puppy. I originally started training with Vicky when my springer spaniel was 18 months old after doing puppy classes/ l basic obedience with a different tracing school. Being a working breed he needed a job so we started with agility from scratch course.

The difference in teaching here is like day and night. the class size mean you get personal attention and everything is done with positive reinforcement working at the dog and owners pace.

Vicky has always been really supportive and patient even when I couldn’t get my left and right the right way round!

Since first starting with K9 kindergarten I have had a second puppy who went to puppy classes and has done agility training with Vicky. The puppy classes were completely different to the the ones I had attended with my spaniel. As I have said the size of the class made a huge difference as you are actually able to talk to Vicky and ask questions to get help with issues you maybe experiencing with your puppy rather than just marching round and feeling lost and unable to ask for help when you maybe struggling.

Also there is a huge focus on having a well rounded, confident happy dog who is able to cope with modern day family life.

My parents have also recently attended puppy classes with their Staffordshire bull terrier puppy. This is their first puppy in 40 years and they will admit that is probably the best behaved dog any of us have every had, so much so that people actually will stop them and ask where they took her for lessons!

“Always Learn Something New”

We really enjoy attending weekly training sessions as well as 121’s every so often with Vicky. Sessions are tailored to individuals and you always learn something new.

Vicky is also great at helping you get a plan in place to progress your training and practice at home. All the training equipment is also lovely! 💜💙

“Easy To Follow and Understand”

Vicky is wonderful, her training methods are positive, friendly and fun! My dogs are always so excited going to their training sessions.

The classes are appropriately sized based on numbers and breeds. Pups to oldies, everything is tailored perfectly.

We couldn’t recommend Vicky enough! They make training easy to follow and help you understand, with great results.

Thank you from Daphne and Rosa 🐩🐩🐾

“Excellent Instructors”

We’ve just finished our agility for beginners course and had a brilliant time! Vicky was an excellent instructor and made the classes so much fun!

We’ve done lots of Vicky’s classes and they make such a difference to Murphy’s behaviour especially as he can be anxious in some situations. Would highly recommend them!

Sarah Palmer

“Engaging and Skilled Instructors”

Vicky is an engaging and skilled trainer with a vast knowledge in dog behaviour. Both our dogs have attended the Agility From Scratch course which was not only informative but also fun!

Attending training at K9 Kindergarten helped give us the skills and knowledge to improve our bond with our dogs immensely.

Thank you so much Vicky – we would and have previously recommended you to anyone who is interested in giving something different a go, learning new skills and improving their dog training!

“Helped me when I adopted a Rescue Dog”

I’ve known Vicky since she helped me when I adopted a rescue dog from Hungary. She was amazing with helping to settle her down.

A year later we did an agility from scratch course, Vicky is so knowledgeable and made the sessions fun and had lots of patience with the dogs and handlers! We have now been doing beginners agility for a year and started doing some competitions.

Vicky has been a brilliant trainer and has created a friendly, supportive group of dogs and handlers and are very supportive as we continue our agility journey, even when you have a dog who runs out of the ring and does her own thing!

I did some 1:1 agility sessions as well in the summer and gained valuable extra insight to training from them both. The agility arena is also available for hire if you want to do some extra training on your own.

Now we are about to start Dog Diva’s having recently completed a trick or treat course.

I would definitely recommend you contact Vicky for dog and puppy training.
