Kiambu County
Dog training in Kiambu
From Ruaka and Kiambu Road to Ruiru, Juja and Thika: puppy, obedience, behaviour and protection training for Kiambu homes, plots and businesses.
Dog training for Kiambu homes and plots
Kiambu County is home to everything from apartments in Ruaka and townhouses along Kiambu Road to family homes in Ruiru and Juja and larger plots towards Limuru and Thika. Dogs here often have more space than city dogs, and many are kept for security. More space brings its own training needs: a dog that comes back when called across a big compound, guards without threatening workers, and leaves the neighbour's chickens alone.
What Kiambu dog owners ask us for
- Reliable guard dogs that alert and deter but stay controllable.
- Recall across large compounds and no wandering off the property.
- Stopping chasing of poultry, livestock, cats and motorbikes.
- Calm behaviour with workers and visitors.
- Puppy foundations for families with a new German Shepherd, Rottweiler or Boerboel puppy.
- Behaviour help for fearful, reactive or aggressive dogs.
Our approach
We start with an assessment of your dog and your property, then recommend the right mix of puppy training, obedience, behaviour work or protection and K9 training. You are part of every step, because a dog is only as reliable as the people handling it.
Thinking about a security dog for your plot? Read guard dog vs family protection dog first. We also help Kiambu families with grooming, the dog motel, and rehoming and rescue.

FAQ
Dog training in Kiambu: questions
Which parts of Kiambu County do you cover?
We work with dog owners across Kiambu County, including Kiambu Town, Kiambu Road, Thindigua, Ruaka, Banana Hill, Ruiru, Tatu City, Kahawa Sukari, Juja, Thika, Kikuyu and Limuru. Message us your location to confirm the arrangement.
I live on a large plot. Can you train my dog to guard it?
Yes, if the dog is suitable. Larger Kiambu properties often benefit from a dog with good alerting and guarding habits. We assess the dog first, build obedience and control, and then add guarding skills so the dog stays manageable for you and your workers.
My dog chases chickens, goats or other animals. Can training help?
Yes. Chasing livestock and poultry is common in peri-urban areas. We work on impulse control, a strong "leave it" and recall, and management so the dog cannot keep practising the habit.
Do you offer puppy training in Kiambu?
Yes. Puppy training can start from about 8 weeks. We help you set up toilet routines, stop biting, start socialisation and teach first commands.
