A year already🎂
I've learnt so much with Reeva and will continue to do so for years to come. I never thought I would own a dog like this and I am forever thankful that I do now.
Thank you for the opportunity to own this nutcase and for all the help with her throughout the year.

Age: 6-9months
She's not been socialised, toilet trained etc.
She will bark at people and dogs due to nerve but hasn't bitten.
Not good with kids but has got used to them after getting familiar.

Exciting news! We're now offering Dog sitting for our clients with an additional option of training included. Great for dogs that can't cope in kennels and perfect for dogs that are a bit too much for the average house sitter 😉 Nothings better than going on holiday and coming back to a better behaved pet👍
Likes and shares are appreciated. Tag those people that need a holiday🏝
She's been smashing it recently💪
Spaces are filling up fast for the start of 2024. Get booked in quick to avoid the waiting list!
I'm opening up for Sunday sessions next year too.
I've got a few spaces going for dog walks available. This can be general exercise or to help keep up on training🐕
Merry Christmas🎅🎄
Hope you all have a great day
Taking the time to find a good breeder is definitely worth it. So many dogs have genetic based problems and a good breeder is the best way to avoid them. A good breeder will carefully access each dog they use, to make sure both parents compliment eachother nicely, in order to produce the best, most well rounded pups. The socialisation and exposure given to pups in that 8 weeks old is incredibly helpful so find a breeder that will do this. Yes, you'll be paying more money but you'll be saving even more in the long run. Dogs are for life and you want quality from the beginning, it'll make your life as an owner easier too.
High motivation has to be aimed in the right direction in order to get the best outcome.
I could put countless hours into this dog but if I didn't know what I was aiming for or the right guidance by my mentor then I wouldn't be getting anywhere near the level of results I'm getting currently. It makes sense to ask for help if you're not sure about something, especially if the person you're asking know what you're missing.
Putting in hard work gets you far but putting in the right work gets you even further. I see this in the behaviour work I do. Owners put in lots of work putting in great foundations but lack a few components. With a few tweaks and a push in the right direction you can get a lot further than than you think is possible.
Ask for help if you think you need it. Don't worry about getting judged, the right people will support you and your dog will thank you more than enough.
Group sessions are starting in 2024!
Ideal for wanting to improve obedience, neutrality and general life skills. Fun workshops will be coming later too.
All dogs will have had an initial consultation with me before starting classes. This is to make sure we have a safe environment with people who understand what we're all aiming for.
Please leave a comment if you're interested! Get in touch if you're not sure if it's for you. A share would be appreciated too, it's going to be more than just dog training, I'm hoping to create a community👍
As a Trainer that helps people with their dogs every day, I know the simple act of putting your dog on a lead when passing another dog would be greatly appreciated by anyone struggling with their dog.
Letting your dog play with every dog will just make recall harder for you.
When you let your dog approach a strange dog there's always a chance of a fight or other negative outcomes.
I wouldn't gamble with the safety of my dog, why would you?
I wish all dog owners respected this. I’ve had several calls of it’s ok he’s friendly this week while out walking.
If you’re dog doesn’t come when you call them they should be on a lead. Letting them run up to unknown dogs puts your dog, their dog and the owner in a potentially dangerous situation.
Some dogs are in training, some are nervous, some are reactive. Please respect others and their need for space!
Due to high demand and limited time, prices will be increasing on November 13th. Get your session booked in before the 13th to save a bit of money!

New Prices:
Initial consultation: £60

Goose on his first neutral walk with another dog.
Neutral walks are walks with no pressure for dogs to interact in the aim that the dogs behaviour doesn't change if there is another dog present. They are great for reactive dogs or dogs that get over excited at the presence of other dogs.
Tilly helps me by setting a good example as her behaviour doesn't change if a dog is present or not, making it a whole lot easier for the dogs I walk.
Meet Reeva
I'm so thankful to for giving me this opportunity to work with such an amazing pup. I can't wait to see how she develops and how much I'll learn from her along the way.
Bred by . Words don't do justice on how dedicated a breeder Vicky is.
I've really enjoyed working with Boss and his owner. Watching a nervous dog grow, increase in confidence and learnto have fun outside is an amazing experience. He's made huge progress and there is much more to come. I look forward to the work we'll do in the future
A review from Rosie's first session
Being able to do nothing...
Teaching your dog to be able to settle helps immensely in everyday life and widens your choices of where you can take your dog, stress free.
A lot of owners want to take their dog everywhere with them. A few simple bits of training can make this possible.
If you would like help getting your dog to settle anywhere, give me a message 🐕
At Keepin It Canine we pride ourselves on delivering results, providing owners with amazing support and helping boost their bond with their dogs.
We provide behaviour modification sessions that can help you with pulling on the lead, reactivity, resource guarding and more.
We are proud to offer structured dog walks, that not only exercise your dog but also improves their training and behaviour! With 5 years in rescue we know how difficult some dogs can be and how much more difficult it can be to trust a dog walker with them. We will take time to get to know your dogs and even implement some training while out on their walks under owners request.
Our dog training sessions are for dogs of all ages, for owners wanting to work on obedience, loose lead walking and recall.
All sessions are 1-1, to provide the highest quality training and to meet each individual dogs needs. We encourage puppies to come to these sessions so we can provide your pup with the best start in life. A consultation before you get your pup can be even more useful!
If you are interested, contact us now to KIC your training into motion!

Cooperative play Cooperative play is one of my favourite things that I've done with Reeva. It's been crucial in our relationship building and training. It's made training fun and flow nicely and has provided a great outlet for Reeva's energy. Take 5 minutes out of your day with your own dog to practice this and you'll see the benefits. It'll help to reduce the chances of unwanted behaviours like resource guarding as well as bringing you and your dog closer together. A big thanks to @azurahaus_working_dogs and for telling me to start work on cooperative play as soon as I got Reeva. #dogtraining #germanshepherd #dogbehaviour #workingdogsuk #dogs #dogsofinstagram (Disclaimer: Reeva is not an actual missile)
Reeva's 2nd protection session at 7 months old. Big improvements, absolutely love watching her progress. Thanks to @lewis_hartleydogsport_ for working her and @azurahaus_working_dogs #germanshepherd #workingdogsuk
Reeva's first protection session after teething. It was great to see what she's got in the locker. Super happy with her progress today. The big lad did well! Thanks @lewis_hartleydogsport_ @azuracanine @azurahaus_working_dogs #germanshepherd #gsd #workingdogsuk
Bertie's day train I really enjoyed working with this happy lad🐕 Spending a bit of time to create foundations is the best thing you can do when starting training. Dogs need clear communication in order to understand what we want from them and without that we can forget about adding anything challenging into our training. We created a clearer understanding of the lead and what it communicates, loaded a new recall cue as the previous was lacking in value. We also strived for consistency the whole day, even if this meant going slower. Bertie struggle even at just the scent of dogs, causing him to get over excited, pull and vocalise. Today he managed to keep calm in the situations I put him in. #dogtraining #cavapoo
2023 Done and Dusted! I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that has supported me. Whether that be encouragement, choosing me and a trainer, sharing a post or teaching me something new. I cannot tell you all enough, how much I appreciate it. I started this year helping rescue dogs find homes, then helping dogs stay out of rescues and now helping dogs and owners with any problems they may have and helping them to achieve their potential. I've never had a job that allows me to work with such passion and enjoyment as I do now. 2024 is going to be a massive year. I've got many goals set for next year, ready to achieve. I look foward to see where I am this time next year. Once again, thank you all!
A clear difference. Same place, same trigger. With different methods and a different attitude💪 Rex and his mum have been doing brilliant with their training and doing great in each and every new environment I put them in. I'll post all their work soon but for now have a look at them tackling the most challenging part of their walk. Rex had some previous work with other trainers which provided some decent foundations, we just introduced different handling and made a huge focus on engagement and being exciting. Giving Rex motivation to work with us.
High motivation has to be aimed in the right direction in order to get the best outcome. I could put countless hours into this dog but if I didn't know what I was aiming for or the right guidance by my mentor then I wouldn't be getting anywhere near the level of results I'm getting currently. It makes sense to ask for help if you're not sure about something, especially if the person you're asking know what you're missing. Putting in hard work gets you far but putting in the right work gets you even further. I see this in the behaviour work I do. Owners put in lots of work putting in great foundations but lack a few components. With a few tweaks and a push in the right direction you can get a lot further than than you think is possible. Ask for help if you think you need it. Don't worry about getting judged, the right people will support you and your dog will thank you more than enough.
Snow day ❄️🥶 Lots of owners struggle with their dogs not wanting to go out when the weather is bad. This is partially due to the individual dog but the owner also has a huge part in developing this behaviour. If you don't want to go out in the cold or rain and never do with your dog, you give no desire for the dog to want to too. I want Reeva to be unbothered in all weather so I have to be unbothered in all weather. This means playing and training whatever the weather and having fun doing so Bad weather doesnt exist, just unsuitable clothing😉 #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #germanshepherdpuppy #germanshepherd #workinglinegsd #snowday
Reeva's first protection session. It went better than I ever could've imagined. Buckets of potential with this one. So so pleased
Neena's progress Neena came in for loose lead walking and to be calmer while around other dogs. Neena got wayyy too excited around dogs and would harass them, hoping to get them to play, even if they were telling her off. We wanted to create a dog that could stay calm even with dogs present. Neena needed to realise that not every dog is there to be her play mate. Neena has progressed wonderfully, managing to stay neutral around other dogs on and off lead. There's still more progress to make but she's definitely going in the right direction! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogbehaviour #dogbehaviourist #cocker #cockerspaniel
Start your walks the right way, on a loose lead and well engaged👍 Marley couldn't have cared what his owner was doing on a walk and was far too excited and interested in the environment. He also got very excited when putting his harness and lead on, so we showed him how to do that calmly too
Stooge dogs? Stooge dogs are dogs that won't react to other dogs, even if they are lunging or barking. They are an incredibly useful tool when working with dog reactive dogs. I use Tilly as my Stooge dog and she has proved to be very helpful #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogbehaviour #dogbehaviourist #dogsofinstagram #lincolnshire
