Explore Our Dog Training Services
Every dog is different, which is why we offer a range of one-to-one training and behaviour services to suit individual needs, abilities and training goals.
Puppy Training in Grantham
Building confidence, communication and essential life skills from the start.
Our one-to-one puppy training programmes provide the foundations for a confident, well-mannered dog.
Training can cover essential skills such as recall, loose-lead walking, engagement, basic obedience, confidence building, appropriate socialisation and settling calmly in everyday environments.
Whether you're starting with your first puppy or looking to develop existing skills, each session is adapted to your puppy's age, development and individual requirements.
We offer individual puppy training sessions alongside structured three-session and five-session packages.
One-to-One Dog Training
Practical dog training for real-life situations.
Our one-to-one dog training services help owners develop reliable everyday behaviours and improve communication with their dogs.
Training can focus on recall, loose-lead walking, engagement, obedience, impulse control, calm behaviours and maintaining reliability around distractions.
Whether you have an adolescent dog, an adult dog needing additional guidance or simply want to improve existing skills, we develop a programme around your specific goals.
Sessions provide practical coaching and written training guidance to help you continue developing your dog's skills between appointments.
Canine Behaviour Consultations
Understanding behaviour and developing practical solutions.
Behavioural challenges can be difficult for both dogs and their owners. Our canine behaviour consultations focus on understanding why behaviours occur and identifying appropriate ways to address them.
We provide individual assessments and ongoing support for concerns including:
Dog reactivity and over-arousal
Fear, anxiety and confidence-related behaviours
Aggression-related behaviours
Resource guarding
Excessive barking and unwanted behaviours
Difficulties settling or coping with everyday situations
Each consultation considers the individual dog, its behaviour, learning history and environment before developing a tailored behaviour and management programme.
Our aim is to improve understanding, communication and practical behaviour management while prioritising safety and canine welfare.
Scentwork & Search Training
Develop your dog's natural abilities through structured search training.
Scentwork provides opportunities for dogs to use their natural searching abilities while developing focus, motivation and confidence.
Drawing on extensive professional experience with Military Working Dogs, PK Canine offers specialist one-to-one search training for owners interested in structured scentwork and indication development.
Our programmes can include:
Search motivation and engagement
Reinforcement and reward development
Passive indication training
Focus wall training
Structured search patterns
Scent pairing and progression
Handler development and search management
We offer structured four-week and six-week programmes, with training adapted to the dog's ability and the owner's objectives.
Online Dog Training Courses

Our Approach to Dog Training
Individual Training, Guided by LIMA Principles
At PK Canine, we recognise that every dog has its own temperament, learning history, motivations and training requirements.
We do not believe in applying an identical training programme to every dog. Instead, we assess the individual dog, identify the training objectives and select appropriate methods based on its needs and the circumstances.
Our approach is guided by Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) principles, with an emphasis on animal welfare, clear communication and effective learning.
We use a balanced, evidence-informed approach, drawing on an understanding of canine behaviour, learning theory and the four quadrants of operant conditioning.
Training methods and equipment are selected carefully, with consideration given to the individual dog's welfare, the desired behaviour and the owner's ability to apply the training consistently.
Our goal is not simply to teach commands, but to develop understanding, reliable behaviours and a stronger working relationship between dogs and their owners.
