​

My name is Sonia Keenan, and I am fully qualified and experienced in dog training and obedience. I specialise in puppy development and cognition as well as problem prevention in older dogs, but my real passion is trick training,

I have had loads of pleasure and joy in training many multi-title-winning trick dogs.

​

I am also a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers Ireland (Member #APDTIre042) and a certified trick dog instructor (CTDI) with a gold medal rating,

My training, like all sessions here at Canine Coaching Ireland, is always carried out using only force-free and reward-based methods.

 

Trick training is becoming more and more popular with Irish dog owners. 

Why not replace one of your dog's walks with a trick training session and give it a try? You have nothing to lose and so much to gain!

 

 

SO WHY TRICK TRAINING?

 

* A lot of tricks in my Trick Stars Program give a good foundation for agility.

* Covers basic obedience commands.

* Suitable for dogs and owners of all ages and physical abilities.

* Provides enrichment for your dog's life.

* Keeps your dog's mind and body active.

* Strengthens the bond between dog and owner.

* Loads of  fun for both dog and owner.

* Owners learn to train their own dogs.

 

The joy of training tricks is as much about the fun and time spent with your dog as it is about the end results.
