I utilise my 20 years experience of hundreds and hundreds of hours spent training Working Dogs and Pet Dogs alike and my theory developed through completion of a Masters degree in Canine Behaviour.

Training is done through modern, proactive techniques tried and tested over twenty years.

Real engagement with your dog is the only way to train, which is built upon to produce consistently happy, confident puppies and dogs.

At Surrey K9 Academy, the happiness and welfare of your dog is paramount. A well-behaved, trained dog is the best thing in the world when it goes right. A balanced dog will thrive in any situation thrown at them.

In the current climate, it's not uncommon to see unwanted behaviours displayed regularly by dogs, whether this is dog or human reactivity, pulling on the lead, poor or no recall and general difficult behaviour such as lunging or barking at people, dogs or even cars and motorcycles.

At Surrey K9 Academy, we train for success giving the dog and owner an understanding and skills to rectify and manage these unwanted behaviours.

The outcome through training, love and patience is building a bond for life and ultimately, a happy dog and owner.

At Surrey K9 Academy, whatever the breed, whatever the temperament, I give the owner the skills, understanding and knowledge to change and manage any unwanted or difficult Behaviours.

As a side note, I am also known for taking on dogs that other trainers are not willing to help. I happily take on dogs deemed a lost cause. Seriously reactive or aggressive dogs happily worked with.
