Stress Free and Fun

Dog Training for All

Where training is just as much for the handlers as it is for the dogs, we provide a fun and rewarding approach to better understanding your companion.

It's Fun

Training is fun and not taken too seriously and there’s laughter all around.  We get a whole lot more out of training when it doesn’t feel like training at all.

It's Rewarding

Training is rewarding, where we all get something new and exciting out of it every time.

It's Different

Training is varied and different so there’s always something new going on, keeping you on your toes and your dogs ready for anything.

Kennel Club approved training in the

Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme

The largest dog training programme in the UK

Puppy Foundation

Provides a safe and controlled way of socialising your puppy with other puppies and lays down the foundation for education and training.  On completion, puppies will respond to you and you will have a better understanding of the responsibilities that come with dog ownership.

Bronze

Learn how to get your dog to walk and behave in a controlled manner on the lead, to stay in one position on command, and will allow you to clean, groom and inspect him or her without fuss.

Silver

Build upon and improve on lessons learned in the Bronze class with increased levels of difficulty, together with new concepts, such as controlled greeting, road walking and vehicle control exercises.

You’re growing in confidence, knowing how to handle more and more everyday situations with ease.

Gold

You’ve done incredibly well and have shown confidence and ability in all lessons learned so far.  You’re able to handle increased levels of difficulty with more advanced training, including new concepts such as relaxed isolation, stop the dog and send to dog to bed exercises.

    positive review  Justine always works hard to make training varied and interesting for the dogs, and also explains things clearly for the owners. The hour obedience and agility lesson outside always flies by and our dog really enjoys it. Whilst there is focus it also isn't taken overly seriously. Justine is very knowledgeable and able to provide advice and guidance for us on some anxiety issues with our rescue dog as well, which has been very helpful. I would really recommend the training with Justine.

  • positive review  We started taking our girl Lola training here last year and she has really thrived with the help of Justine and Eva. She absolutely loves going to her class at Saltwood on a Thursday evening and also at Monks Horton on a Saturday morning! Going to these classes have really helped us build a greater bond with Lola and taught us to work with her rather than against her! We would absolutely recommend this company for anyone wanting to train there pup and to gain a better understanding of how think 🐾💕

    positive review  I have been to both the Thursday evening training classes at Saltwood and also the Saturday morning obedience and agility sessions at Monks Horton with my Labradoodle Oti. I have taken her since she was about 12 weeks old, so for over a year now and have found Justine to be a very experienced, knowledgeable and helpful trainer. Oti loves the stimulation of learning and has also benefited from the social aspects of training in a group. I would thoroughly recommend Koba Dog Training to any dog owner.

Justine is friendly, approachable and very professional. She always has excellent top tips and ways to make things easier for you. Bertie has made some good friends and the classes are always upbeat and friendly. Thanks Justine and Eva. Janine and Julian x

    positive review  Absolutely, highly recommend !! I have a border collie Max and train with Justine on Saturday mornings at Monks Horton. Her classes are excellent with a great balance of advice and guidance for obedience training mixed with agility and play. All her teaching is done in a very positive way which encourages both the owner and the dog. We always look forward to going to her classes. Gill Kent Blues
