🏠 DO YOU HAVE A FACILITY?
We are primarily a mobile training and behaviour service, which means we can work with you and your dog in the environment where the behaviour actually occurs.
We also have access to dedicated venues when required.
For many behavioural cases, working in the dog’s normal environment gives us far more useful information than simply seeing the dog in a training facility.
⸻🐾⸻
📍 WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
Pardus K9 is based in Winsford, Cheshire, and operates as a mobile service across the surrounding areas.
Please see our page information for further details regarding locations and travel.
⸻🐾⸻
👥 DO YOU OFFER GROUP TRAINING?
Yes. We run regular group training sessions covering a range of practical, real-life skills and training subjects.
Group information, availability and booking details are published on the page.
Spaces are limited and some sessions fill quickly.
⸻🐾⸻
🐕 DO YOU WORK WITH REACTIVE DOGS?
Absolutely.
Behaviour modification is a major part of what we do. We work with dogs displaying reactivity, aggression, fear, anxiety, over-arousal and other behavioural difficulties.
We work with dogs of different breeds, ages and backgrounds, with each case assessed individually.
We also offer a dedicated Reactive Dog Programme, consisting of:
1 × 90-minute assessment, 1 × six-step bespoke plan and 10 × 1-hour home visits — all for £500.
This represents excellent value for a comprehensive, structured behaviour programme.
⸻🐾⸻
☎️ Do you have a contact telephone number?
No. At Pardus K9, we operate a written communication policy, meaning all enquiries, bookings and correspondence are handled via email or messaging.
Quite simply, I’m not a fan of telephone conversations! More importantly, keeping everything in writing ensures there is a clear record of all communication that both parties can refer back to whenever necessary.
This helps prevent misunderstandings, ensures important information isn’t forgotten and allows us to maintain accurate records of discussions, agreements and advice.
We appreciate your understanding and ask that all communication remains in writing.
——— 🐾———
⚖️ ARE YOU FORCE-FREE?
No. Pardus K9 operates using a balanced training approach.
We place significant emphasis on positive reinforcement, positive association, appropriate motivation and teaching the dog what we actually want before expecting reliable behaviour.
Methods are selected according to the individual dog, taking into account factors including age, breed, physical health, emotional state, environment, learning history and behavioural presentation.
Above everything else, the dog’s physical and psychological welfare remains the priority.
⸻🐾⸻
🎖️ WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?
Pardus K9 is backed by over 15 years of practical experience working with dogs, including experience within private security, police, military and prison-service environments, alongside professional pet-dog training and behaviour modification.
We have also worked alongside breeders, vets, hydrotherapists, television and film professionals, and many other canine-related specialists.
Over that time, we have worked with and helped more than 15,000 dogs across a wide range of training and behavioural cases. More than 5,000 of these dogs have been from the five breeds in which we specialise:
• German Shepherd Dogs
• Belgian Malinois
• Dutch Shepherds
• Dobermanns
• Rottweilers
We also hold multiple relevant qualifications and continue to develop our professional knowledge.
We believe education within this industry should never stop. Our methods and advice are continually reviewed against current knowledge, practical evidence and, most importantly, the welfare of the dogs we work with.
We are not affiliated with a specific professional organisation because we prefer to remain independent and avoid being restricted by a single training ideology. While we respect the right of other trainers and organisations to follow their own approaches, we do not believe that one method is suitable for every dog or every situation.
Our approach is based on assessing the individual dog, using the least intrusive effective method available, and adapting our training responsibly according to the dog’s welfare, behaviour and needs.
⸻🐾⸻

🏢 WHY CAN’T I FIND PARDUS K9 ON COMPANIES HOUSE?
Pardus K9 currently operates as a sole trader business, with Pardus K9 being the trading/brand name.
The business is registered appropriately for tax purposes and operates with the relevant professional insurance.
A transition to a limited company structure is planned.
⸻🐾⸻
🕰️ WHAT ARE YOUR WORKING HOURS?
Our standard opening hours are listed on the page.
Where possible, we can also accommodate appointments outside standard working hours for clients whose work patterns or circumstances make conventional appointment times difficult.
⸻🐾⸻
⭐ OUR REVIEW POLICY
Since 2024, we have operated a long-term review policy.
For behavioural cases, we ask clients to wait at least 6 months from their first session before leaving a review.
For training and group clients, we ask for a minimum of 3 months.
Why?
Because immediate improvement is one thing. Long-term, sustainable results are what actually matter.
We want our reviews to represent genuine progress rather than simply how somebody felt immediately after a session.
⸻🐾⸻
🐾 ONE LAST THING…
We genuinely value clients who take the time to research their trainer, understand the process and make an informed decision about who they trust with their dog.
So, if you’ve actually read all the way down here, there’s a little reward.
