Dickinson Keith - Barnsley

Stephanie T.

It's almost 12 months since I started training classes with my 15 week old lab, 6 weeks of puppy, 6 weeks of junior and have been in advanced ever since. It's amazing what both myself and my boy have learnt. We started group walks when he was 5 months old, a little early for his breed but Keith kept a close eye on him to ensure he came to no harm. I've witnessed only one fight between two muzzled dogs but Keith was quick to respond both safely & calmly and both the dogs & the owners continued the walk happily. I have already recommended Keith to a friend and my sister, both have taken part in the classes and are very pleased with their progress. If you are starting out with a puppy or you need your dogs behaviour to be under control, I would definitely contact Keith.

I have taken my dogs to Keith for nearly 15 years. He is a totally safe pair of hands. Training the humans to train, understand and work with their dogs. He is a straight talking Yorkshire man who is gentle, supportive, patient and firm if required. He works hard to understand each dog and its owner to place them in the most appropriate class, moving them into more advanced sessions as they progress. I totally trust Keith. He is constantly aware of every dogs behaviour and signals, being fully alert to any changes in behaviour and reacting to it often before the owners do. Which is why timid and flighty dogs are equally at home in the sessions. Quickly becoming confident and calm when the humans follow Keith's advice. It's a happy learning environment for dog and their special human alike.

The raw food is the way forward too. He knows everything you need to know about dogs and don't even realise it yet!

I bought my flatcoat retriever puppy when he was 12 weeks old. He was a handful having lived in a kennel all his short life.

I went to Kieth for advice on how to toilet train him and socialise him with other dogs and people, and also his dietary needs.

Keith was very helpful, giving free advice over the phone and information about his puppy class without being pushy. Which I thought was really good. He could easily have said come to my class for the information but didn’t.

I did attend the classes, and found them to be invaluable. At 6 months old we moved to the teens class where Freddie continued to improve his lead walking skills and off the lead recall which is a godsend.

Freddie is now almost 2 years old and still loves being in class.

I highly recommend Keith Dickinson dog trainer and behaviour expert.

I've been attending training classes for a couple of years. My eldest dog would not listen to me but now he does. I'm now on with my youngest dog who I've been taking since she was a puppy. It's great learning how to teach your dogs good behaviour and it's fabulous for dogs to socialise. Keith is very friendly and helpful as well as a very knowledgeable trainer with many years of experience. I would not hesitate to recommend his weekly classes. The price is reasonable at £10 per 1 hour class. Payment is made in blocks of 6
He also sells raw food for dogs consumption
Which my 2 cocker spaniels love 🙂

I went to Keith's training sessions 8-10 years ago with my Border Terrier and Minature Schnauzer. The sessions help you understand what is needed to control your particular dog. My dogs were so well behaved having attended these sessions I could take them absolutely anywhere with me.
I knew that eventually I would be back! I am in the top class with my 2 year old and Teenage Class with my 8 month old Border Terriers. The results are amazing if you stick at it.

Brilliant experience for my family and our previously reactive young GSD. Keith's advice and guidance has been fantastic regarding training and feeding. It is now a pleasure to take my dog out. The group walks are brilliant and the dogs love it. Cannot recommend Keith highly enough and friends now take their dogs to Keith. The classes are great fun and my dog wags his tail all through the class.

Fantastic dog trainer. We rescued a 4-5 year old GSD in February who is dog reactive. Walking him quickly became a nightmare so I took him to Keith as I had taken my last GSD to him. Within a short period of time he settled significantly enough to take on the communal dog walk that Keith runs. This is the only time my dog can be off the lead as it is a controlled supervised environment and he has thrived during this time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Keith's training sessions.

We have used Keith for both our German Shepherds and he is a fantastic trainer, trains us more than he trains the dogs!!,
We have used Kieths classes for both our German Shepherds, he trains us as much as he trains the dogs!!,
His Saturday walks are fantastic, to have 20 plus dogs running of the lead together is a joy, the dogs love it and reading the comments of the reviewer who said letting muzzled dogs off the lead is ridiculous, Keith insists on a muzzle for any dog that gets too giddy and that's why they are able to be let free.
Would recommend Keith's school and Saturday morning walk to anyone getting a new puppy or a rescue dog.
