Pardus K9 - Canine Training & Behaviour Modification

Directions Website

Pardus K9 is a multi award winning, Winsford based canine professional offering:
Dog Training & Behaviour modification across Cheshire.

Founded in 2019 by Daniel Child, after more than a decade as a Dog Handler, Pardus K9 was born from a passion for dogs and a career dedicated to training & working with them in some of the most demanding environments, including private security, the prison service, armed forces, and police forces. At Pardus K9, we combine years of hands-on experience with a global perspective, gained from visiting and observing thousands of trainers and behaviourists around the world. This journey has shaped a truly versatile and modern approach to training, one that values effectiveness, compassion, and longevity over shortcuts and quick fixes. We specialise in helping the dogs others have failed with, using a deep understanding of breeds, behaviours, and training methods. We’re not a one-trick pony, we adapt, problem-solve, and tailor our work to the individual dog. Our commitment is to high standards by using up-to-date techniques, and predominantly positive reinforcement. But above all, every dog we work with is treated with kindness and respect. Because for us, it’s not just about training dogs, it’s about changing lives, one partnership at a time.

🐾🧡🐕‍🦺 GROUP SESSIONS NEXT WEEK 🐕‍🦺🧡🐾

We’ve still got a few temporary changes in place for our group sessions following the confirmed cases of canine parvovirus in our local area.

Saturday groups are CANCELLED again this week but will be back the following week if you can brave the cold.

Our weekday groups will continue again but we still require rules to be followed religiously.

WHAT’S CHANGED?

🐾 Social distancing: All walking-based groups will now operate with increased distances between dogs and handlers. No direct dog-to-dog contact will be permitted.

🐾 Designated training areas: During static training classes, each dog and handler will have their own allocated training space. Please remain within your designated area unless instructed otherwise.

🐾 No shared equipment: Please bring your own treats, toys, water bowls and training equipment. Sharing between dogs will not be permitted. We will no longer be bringing anything that may be used communally.

🐾 Additional cleaning and disinfection: We’ve also introduced additional cleaning and disinfection measures, ensuring that as much of our training areas, clothing, shoes and other frequently used items, are all as clean as possible and is appropriately disinfected using suitable dog safe products.

🐾 Health precautions: If your dog is unwell, has recently experienced vomiting or diarrhoea, or has potentially been exposed to parvovirus, please do not attend. Contact your veterinary practice for advice.

🐾 Group activities: Exercises will be adapted where necessary to minimise contact between dogs, handlers and potentially contaminated surfaces.

A little throwback to 2019 content 🫪

I originally made this video back in 2019 to share with my grand total of 50 Instagram followers! I shared it again in 2021 when this page was still very new, so naturally, it didn’t get much attention.

I thought it was about time I gave it another share!

I’ve always believed that if you’re trusting someone to train your dog, you should be able to see that they can actually train.

Not just talk about training, explain theories or tell you what they’re capable of, but demonstrate the skill, confidence and understanding needed to achieve genuinely impressive results.

And I don’t mean that arrogantly. I think it’s important that people can see the ability of the person they’re putting their trust in.

For me, the best way to demonstrate that isn’t by telling you how good I am. It’s by showing you what I've already done.

Real dogs, real training, real results.

So, I thought I’d start sharing more footage of me actually working with dogs, including some older videos like this one.

No fancy sales pitch, no pretending to be something I’m not. Just me doing what I’ve loved doing for years.

After all, the training should speak for itself. 🐾

🎆 BONFIRE NIGHT REMINDER! 🐕

With fireworks expected throughout the week, we’re taking extra precautions to keep dogs safe and comfortable. Like the Parvo wasn't enough to contend with.

Our group sessions will still be running, but some locations may change to avoid the busiest firework areas. And still keep your dogs safe.

Please keep an eye out for location updates before attending!

Stay safe, stay prepared and put your dogs first! 🧡

🐾 PLAY ISN’T JUST PLAY!

Play is a vital part of puppy development, helping build confidence, coordination, communication skills and impulse control.

Tug is a fantastic example!

Through interactive play, puppies can learn:

🐾 How to engage and interact with their handler
🐾 How to regulate excitement and arousal
🐾 How to grip, pull and coordinate their movements
🐾 How to release and re-engage
🐾 How to respond to cues even when excited
🐾 How to build confidence and trust

What does healthy tug play look like?

Relaxed, enthusiastic engagement, a willingness to re-engage, appropriate breaks and a puppy that’s enjoying the interaction.

Remember, play isn’t just a reward. It’s a valuable learning opportunity!

They’re not just playing. They’re developing skills they’ll use for life! 🐾

🐾🧡🐕‍🦺 GROUP SESSIONS NEXT WEEK – IMPORTANT CHANGES 🐕‍🦺🧡🐾

We’re making a few temporary changes to our group sessions following the confirmed cases of canine parvovirus in our local area.

First things first, our Saturday groups are CANCELLED until further notice.

Our weekday groups will continue for now, but with additional safety measures in place to help reduce the risk of disease transmission.

WHAT’S CHANGING?

🐾 Social distancing: All walking-based groups will now operate with increased distances between dogs and handlers. No direct dog-to-dog contact will be permitted.

🐾 Designated training areas: During static training classes, each dog and handler will have their own allocated training space. Please remain within your designated area unless instructed otherwise.

🐾 No shared equipment: Please bring your own treats, toys, water bowls and training equipment. Sharing between dogs will not be permitted. We will no longer be bringing anything that may be used communally.

🐾 Additional cleaning and disinfection: We’ve also introduced additional cleaning and disinfection measures, ensuring that as much of our training areas, clothing, shoes and other frequently used items, are all as clean as possible and is appropriately disinfected using suitable dog safe products.

These additional precautions have actually cost us more than the group sessions themselves bring in financially.

But ultimately, the welfare of the dogs comes before profit.

We know how important these sessions are to many of our dogs and their owners, and we’d rather absorb the additional costs than simply remove those opportunities altogether.

That doesn’t mean we’ll take unnecessary risks. If we believe we can no longer provide these sessions with an acceptable level of safety, we’ll cancel them.

🐾 Health precautions: If your dog is unwell, has recently experienced vomiting or diarrhoea, or has potentially been exposed to parvovirus, please do not attend. Contact your veterinary practice for advice.

🐾 Group activities: Exercises will be adapted where necessary to minimise contact between dogs, handlers and potentially contaminated surfaces.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE GOES A LONG WAY!

Parvovirus is a serious and highly contagious disease. It can spread through infected faeces and contaminated environments, equipment, footwear and other objects.

Social distancing alone does not eliminate the risk, which is why we’re introducing several precautions rather than relying on one.

We also recognise that exercise, training and mental enrichment remain important for our dogs.

We’re doing everything reasonably possible to reduce the risks while continuing to provide the training, exercise and enrichment our dogs benefit from.

We will continue reviewing the local situation and may make further changes or cancel additional sessions if necessary.

BOOKING YOUR PLACE

Comment below with the weekday group or groups you’d like to attend and we’ll get you booked in!

If you’ve already booked a package, you’ll automatically be included in the relevant sessions.

Thank you for helping us keep our dogs and community as safe as possible.🧡

This will be a difficult time for dog businesses, however we will NEVER ask anyone to take unnecessary risks. Our weekday groups are perfectly safe.

🐾 PARVOVIRUS - PLEASE DON’T PANIC!

Well, our parvovirus warning has certainly travelled further than expected!

Thank you to everyone sharing it and helping raise awareness. We normally only get 10-15 shares if we're lucky. We weren't expecting 100s 🙂

However, I want to make something very clear:

We want people to be informed, not frightened!

Yes, there are confirmed cases locally, and sadly, dogs have lost their lives. But that doesn’t mean we need to start locking our dogs indoors.

Parvovirus is NOT COVID-19!

COVID-19 primarily spreads through infectious respiratory particles. Canine parvovirus is different.

It primarily spreads through infected faeces and contaminated environments, including soil, footwear, hands and equipment.

It’s also not a new virus. We’ve known about it for decades, and effective vaccinations are available.

SO WHY THE COVID-STYLE PRECAUTIONS AT PARDUS K9?

We’re borrowing a familiar concept, not introducing a lockdown!

No shared equipment, treats or water, no unnecessary contact between dogs, additional hygiene precautions and vaccination checks.

These measures help reduce avoidable risks, although they cannot eliminate them. We bring dogs together and the last thing we'd want is to be responsible for something so unavoidable.

SHOULD YOU STOP WALKING OR TRAINING YOUR DOG?

No, not as a blanket rule! Please pay attention to this part.

Healthy, appropriately vaccinated dogs still need exercise, enrichment and opportunities to enjoy life.

Be sensible, avoid contact with dog faeces, practise good hygiene and keep unwell dogs at home. Puppies and dogs with increased vulnerability may need additional precautions, so follow your vet’s advice.

Pardus K9 remains OPEN, and our training sessions are continuing with additional precautions.

We’re taking this seriously because we care about the dogs attending our sessions, not because we believe every walking area is suddenly dangerous.

Awareness is important. Panic helps nobody.

Please continue enjoying your dogs, take sensible precautions and seek veterinary advice if your dog becomes unwell.

And please, let’s not start stockpiling toilet roll again! 😂

If you do wish to add extra precautions. We have posts on the page that help dogs indoors.

Again please don't panic! Just monitor.

I cannot believe Lola is 10 years old!!!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby Lolly Bobs. She's been incredibly hard work at times and pushed me to my limits. But it's been worth it. She's an amazing creature, I prefer her to 99.9999% of humans 🤣

I hate that they get old this quickly 🐾
