Welcome to the McKaynine Training Centre
Last updated: 6 July 2017
Established in 1999, McKaynine has become one of the premier
training facilities in South Africa. From humble beginnings of
two classes per week, we now offer over 30 classes per week
from four different branches, including puppy socialising classes
all the way to advanced obedience, tracking, agility and tricks!
Our philosophy is simple - effective training that’s kind to dogs and
people. Not only are the modern techniques of positive
reinforcement scientifically proven to maximise learning, it’s super
easy and results are quick to see. Handlers are treated with respect
and empathy - we do our best to make your lessons fun and
enjoyable.
Take a look through the site to see what we offer. Scroll down and
take at look at the latest news and specials too!
Hope to see you soon!

CRATE SOURCES
The most effective and humane way to toilet train your
puppy is crate training. When properly introduced puppies
LOVE their crates and it becomes their own special place. We
do not sell crates at our training school. Pop in to your vet or
local pet supply store to see what they have in stock. You can
also visit West Pack (Lifestyle), Builder’s Warehouse or try Pet
Creations online.
Tips:
•
The crate should be just large enough for your pup to
sleep
•
Drape a blanket over wire crates to mimic the “den”
feel of the non-wire crates
•
Fabric crates are not suitable for chewers
•
Follow the training advice as per your McKaynine
Owner’s Guide - please do not use the crate without
completing the training
