Professional Dog Training Services at Kiara’s K9

My name is Niamh, I'm 21 years old, and I have always had a huge passion for animals. Growing up, I owned cats and regularly helped my mum care for foster cats through Cats Protection. That experience gave me a real love and understanding of animals, especially cats—I’ll always be a cat person at heart. When I was 11 years old, I finally got my first dog after years of asking for one. As my interest in dogs grew, my mum and I worked with several different dog trainers, but none of their approaches truly connected with us. That experience inspired me to become a pet training expert who could genuinely support both dogs and their owners while adapting to each individual dog's needs. I am a balanced dog trainer passionate about helping people build strong relationships with their dogs and achieve the best possible results. I strongly believe there is no 'one size fits all' approach to training, which is why I tailor my methods to suit every dog's personality, behavior, and specific needs. In September of 2025, I got my first sport dog, Kiara, who has become both my greatest achievement and my biggest challenge. I have worked incredibly hard to develop her using my knowledge and experience as a trainer, and I am so proud of how far we have come together. As I continue to provide personalized pet care, we still have a long journey ahead of us, and I'm excited to keep growing and progressing with her, which includes exploring dog walking services that suit her needs.

Hi, my name is Joe, and I'm Niamh's fiancé. I work full-time as a self-employed carpenter, but outside of my business, I enjoy supporting Niamh with her work, especially her dog walking services and personalized pet care initiatives. Having grown up with a variety of pets, I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, which deepened when Niamh and I welcomed our first dog, Nova. She taught me about the responsibility, commitment, and rewards that come with dog ownership. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable knowledge and experience by working alongside Niamh, who is not only a pet training expert but also a mentor in canine behavior and training techniques. Watching her train our Dutch Herder, Kiara, has further enhanced my appreciation for structured training. I’m passionate about continuing to learn, and I take great pride in supporting both Niamh and the dogs we work with. My aim is always to create positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting relationships between dogs and their owners.
