Want a happy, healthy well trained dog throughout its life?
Based in Northern Ireland , Robin Bates Dog Training are committed to solving canine behaviour and training problems and also teaching dog owners and people working in the dog industry using good dog training practices.
Is your puppy jumping up, play biting and doesn't come back when called? Does it need to be taught to walk on a loose lead as well as being socialised?
Or do you have a dog over 6 months that is an adolescent, a rescued dog or an older dog that missed its puppy training and is an untrained dog?
Do you have an older dog in its twilight years and would like to do some gentle training to enhance its quality of life?
Have a look at one of our training videos to give you an example of how we teach.We only use reward based training and positive reinforcement.

My name is Robin Bates, I am a dog behaviourist and I recently celebrated 20 years in the dog industry and have been involved in every type of job around dog welfare from dog walker, to kennel owner to now trainer and owner of my own canine centre of excellence in Northern Ireland. Until January of this year I had 4 dogs and sadly 3 crossed the rainbow bridge so i just have Cooper who is an adolescent rescue Collie and a bundle of mischief!
All training I provide, I use what is known as ‘Positive Reinforcement’ methods. This means that we encourage you to reward your dog for positive behaviour instead of punishing it for bad. We don't believe in harsh methods but want fun, easy training methods for the entire family.
I run face to face puppy socialisation and adult dog training classes take place in venues across Northern Ireland and am a Mantrailing Instructor for the Ballyclare and Newtownabbey areas. I am committed to animal welfare and I want to make sure what we are offering is right for your dog and its development needs at the time.
