What do our clients say?

Alex Graham, South Shields

"We got in touch with Lisa as we were desperate!! Our big lad Max just wouldn't stop barking. In the house, garden and the whole way round on a walk! After trying what we thought was everything, we found Lisa and only 2 sessions in we can see a huge difference with Max and can actually enjoy going for a walk and not avoiding everyone and everything in sight. Max has quite a way to go with him being quite anxious but very impressed at how well he is doing so far. Lisa writes up a summery of everything she has gone through so you can keep going back to it to ensure your following the training correctly! It was such a pleasure to meet Lisa and we would 100% recommend!"
Straightforward, Honest Dog Training - No Gimmicks
North East Dog Training With a Personal Touch

At Distinctive K9, we believe in keeping things simple, honest, and effective. Our training isn’t built around upselling or locking you into large, unnecessary packages. We don’t believe in dragging things out just to make a few extra pounds—we give you exactly what you and your dog need to succeed.

Every dog is different, and so is every training plan. We tailor each program to your goals and your dog’s unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether it takes one session or several, our only priority is helping you reach lasting results without wasting your time or money.

Real training. Real progress. No pressure, no fluff—just what works.

How does this work?

Before we can provide you with a training program, we must meet you and your furry friend for a consultation.This will allow our trainer/behaviourist to learn about your dog's behaviour issues, what you would like to achieve in training, and assess your dog's behaviour. ​Our consultation takes place in the comfort of your home and local area! From here, you will be able to book single or multiple training sessions to start your training journey with us!

If you have any questions or would like to book a consultation with us, please contact us using the form below.

Limited Availability 

To ensure that every client receives a truly personalized experience, we only accept a limited number of clients each month. This allows us to devote the time, care, and attention needed to create the perfect training plan for every client, and provide them with any additional support they need. Our diary usually fills up quickly, so if you're interested in having us help you transform your dog's behaviour, please get in touch as early as possible to secure your consultation!
