The key to successful training and a happy dog is your relationship with them.
If your bond is strong, the rest comes easy.
Training develops the bond and relationship between you and your dog. By spending time training your dog, you will learn to communicate with each other better, to solve problems and overcome challenges you face.
The Royal Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training scheme is the largest dog training programme in the UK, teaching you how to train your dog for everyday life situations.
K9 STARS is a Royal Kennel Club listed training school. We run Good Citizen classes weekly and teach the four award levels, Puppy Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
We understand that every dog and every guardian is unique. That's why we offer a range of flexible training options designed to fit different needs, lifestyles and goals. We'll help you find the right path for you and your dog.
We are the only KC listed rally club in East Yorkshire (one of only 2 in Yorkshire)!
Rally is an Kennel Club recognised dog sport that involves you and your dog working as a team to navigate an obedience exercise obstacle course.
It is low impact and easy to get involved. Train with us for fun or to compete.
Our dogs are constantly learning and changing, and whilst puppy training gives them a great start, the key to a calm, confident, happy dog is to continue their education throughout their life.
We provide training journeys suitable from puppy through to senior dogs, from beginners to advanced levels.
The bond that forms between you and your rescue dog is something very special. However, your newly adopted dog can take time to adapt to their new life and may need a little extra support.
That's why we offer a special 20% rescue dog discount on 1 to 1 training sessions. What's more, because animal rescue charities do such STELLAR work, we donate 10% of the fee back to the charity you adopted from.
Not Every Dog Needs Training… But Every Dog (and their human) Benefits From Positive, Force-free Learning.
Learning and developing new skills will enrich your dog's life and your relationship with them.
Book a complimentary 15 minute discovery call to ask questions about our services, discuss which training option best suit you and your dog or to see if we are the right fit for you and your dog.

We use ethical training methods to ensure animal welfare is our first consideration. We only use positive and force free methods, equipment and training aids and adhere to the ABTC and PACT codes of conduct. We keep up-to-date with the latest scientific studies, research and publications to ensure all our methods are science-based.
We do not use or recommend any aversive techniques or equipment. If you are currently using any aversive equipment with your dog and would like to discuss alternatives, please get in touch. We are non-judgemental and can help you find a kinder, more effective way of training.
For more information read our blog on ethical dog training.
I am a practitioner on the ABTC register (ABTC-ATI).
The ABTC is the Animal Behaviour and Training Council, which represents the government and sets the standards for animal training and behaviour therapy in the UK. It is the only register of dog trainers recommended by leading organisations such as the RSPCA, Dogs Trust and Blue Cross.
I am also a full member of PACT (Professional Association of Canine Trainers).
In addition, K9 STARS has Royal Kennel Club Listed Status to offer the Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme and RKC rally.
