Mandy and Dave the Swiss Mountain dog and Debbie and Pagan the GSD what do these two dogs have in common? Simple, they are both walking on a loose lead. Pagan was reactive but now Debbie and Pagan are enjoying life together and it’s just getting better and better. Mandy and Dave have been training with us for a while now and Dave is so good that Mandy now brings Dave along to training sessions to help other dogs, they are a great team.

I have edited this post as it didn't read as it should and we pride ourselves on being open and honest we are not positive only trainers we train the dog accordingly and dogs need consequences for unwanted behaviours just the same as humans. So the e-collar can and is used to communicate with the dog to let them know they need to stop. It is a very effective training tool when used properly and training is required before anyone even thinks about putting it on their dog. Training is not watching YouTube videos.
Attention all dog owners! The shocking truth about E Collars 🐶 they don’t shock your dog! We at Maximum K9 are thrilled to share our approach to dog training using the e-collar.
The e-collar is a game-changer when used correctly - it provides our canine companions with unparalleled freedom and independence, while also strengthening the bond between dog and owner. By using the e-collar we can communicate with our furry friends in a safe, effective, and empowering way for both parties.
The results speak for themselves - dogs trained with the e-collar exhibit increased confidence, better recall, and an overall happier, healthier demeanour. If you're looking to unlock your dog’s full potential, we highly recommend giving the e-collar a try. Get in touch with us today to learn more about our training methods!

It's all well and good having a big dog - but when they start to behave like 💩 it can be scary.
At home your dog might be nice as pie - but for some reason you get outside and all hell breaks loose.
It's actually a very common problem... but people feel ashamed and try to hide it.
If you are dealing with a dog that has already been through a few trainers, seems like a "lost cause" or is so strong or aggressive that you're thinking of rehoming them... please get in touch.
My name is Mick, I am a professional Dog Trainer based in Ashford, and my specialist area is working/guarding breeds.
We have an incredible success rate with reactive and aggressive dogs. If you want to finally share a peaceful and contented life with your dog, please give me a call today.
I always like to have a chat with new clients to make sure they feel comfortable and ready to train their dog properly. Come and say hello any time.

Animal Welfare in action.

"Some dogs only listen to men." Time to bust that myth.
There are a lot of things that influence whether or not a dog listens to you - but I guarantee its got sweet FA to do with gender or being big or "tough".
Dogs listen to people who know how to dish out rewards and boundaries in equal measure. The people who are consistent in the dog's language.
You might see some dogs listen to men "better" because they get louder, or more aggressive and the dog thinks "oops I'd better not push his buttons". That's not proper training or control, it's intimidation.
When I train a dog I want it to feel happy and confident that we are working as a team.
The majority of my followers and clients are women with the biggest, toughest dogs you'll ever see in your life. When they are equipped with the right training, tools and knowledge nothing can stop them! They handle those dogs like an absolute dream and it is amazing to see.
If you have a big dog and feel their behaviour is holding you both back from a happy life together, give me a ring. Mick.

Hello, I'm Mick.
These are my two protection dogs Mia and Max.
I've worked in the dog training industry for around 15 years. I used to train protection dogs for VIPs and public figures who needed a little extra security at home or on the move...
Now I help people in Kent have brilliantly behaved dogs.
My clients tend to own larger, more powerful breeds, but everyone is welcome to my dog training classes from tiny Chihuahuas to gigantic Mastiffs, Bullys and Danes.
A lot of the dogs who come to me have serious problems with reactivity and aggression, so please don't be shy. I am here any time you want to talk, and make a plan of action for your dog's behaviour.
All you have to do is call, WhatsApp or visit my website. Mick.

If you can't call your dog back instantly, they shouldn't be off lead.
A dog that can't be called back right away from ANY distraction in public (yes even squirrels) is considered out of control by law. That's an offence and can land your dog in deep sh*t.
Most people don't know this! They think if their dog "comes back eventually" that it counts as recall. It doesn't.
A dog that chooses when to come back, or runs off to chase animals or people for fun is a danger to themselves and others.
Some owners reading this will make excuses. The serious ones will do something about it.
So how do we rectify recall?
With the right training for the breed in front of you.
If you're fed up, embarrassed or just plain sick of your dog running off, it's time to do something about it before they get reported or hurt.
My name is Mick, I specialise in training the most stubborn and high prey drive dogs perfect recall.
All you have to do is get in touch. Please call or WhatsApp me for more information or visit my website to book a 1:1 consultation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review
"Mick helped me with my dog getting on with my Dads dog. He then taught me to do obedience, bite work and now I can let my dog off lead having the confidence that he will come back when called. I can message him any problems that I am having and always helps further. I go to his weekend groups and learn loads about how dogs should act around other dogs. Mick is a great trainer that I have loved working with."
Thank you for your feedback. 🙂

Raising the perfect puppy...
It feels impossible to know where to start these days. The internet is absolutely full to bursting with information...
And then there's all of the book recommendations!
Should you go with an online course or something in person??
As a large guarding breed handler and trainer, I find that traditional puppy classes tend to be more damaging than people think.
They're loud, chaotic, too tiring for young pups and generally overwhelming on a sensory level. In fact, most owners feel the same way. It's loud and at times very frustrating.
Instead of a traditional puppy class I recommend tailored, 1:1 consultations and a specific socialisation plan. It's ideal for large guarding and working breeds (who often need something a bit special).
Please call or WhatsApp me for more information or visit my website to book a 1:1 consultation.

SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE ‼️ I am seeing more and more Kent dog training clients who have previously been advised to put their dog to sleep because of their aggression! 😤 These dogs thankfully found their way to me afterwards and are now well on their way to a happy life with good behaviour and free from reactivity and aggression. It pains me so much to think innocent dogs and their owners are being advised by people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. If you are told to have your dog PTS for behavioural reasons by anyone - PLEASE get a second opinion ASAP! It is 100% free to call me and discuss your options. I am here to help, Mick.

Wynter came to us to learn how to interact with people and dogs she is progressing well. #kidsanddogs
Pagen the GSD, is slowly starting her off-leash obedience around other dogs, everything takes time and hard work and these two work extremely hard. Great team. Www.maximumk9training.com #dogtraining #gsd #ashford #kent #puppytraining #recalltraining #headcorn #medway #protectiondogs #NewRomney
Shadow the GSD was people and dog-reactive, just a few sessions in and he is learning to be around people and other dogs, with increased engagement through play with his handler. They are a fantastic team working hard and getting results. #dogtraining #gsd #dogstagram
Want a reliable recall like this? It's not as hard as you think. These two dogs are engrossed sniffing around, there are also ducks and some sheep in this field but one whistle and they come straight back as they should do.

If you have a high-drive dog and are thinking about a dog sport why not contact us and think about joining a brand new PSA club, this is a new PSA club and we are looking for members who want to learn and grow with the club. Not all people and dogs are suitable for this sport but a full assessment will be carried out.
Steve and 8-month-old Dexter are working on their loose lead walking, Dexter is getting ready to do his NASDU certification as a GP security dog once he is a year old, that's why we make sure the dog is solid in all environments so he can work anywhere safely, but do his job when and if needed.
G and Sky are working hard even after going to other trainers Sky could not be around any other dogs, so we changed a few things and they both worked hard and here she is around other dogs and even a little bit of lead so great progress. #dogsofkent #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram
Reactive dogs are learning to be calm around each other with supper-focused Edd right in the middle of it all, this is real training. #dogsofinstagram #DogTraining #obediencetraining #dogsofkent

Just messing around with Max keeping him in a low state of arousal so not worried about correct positions just his state of mind, anyone who knows me and Max knows that activating Max and making speed is easy with him, but being calm is hard for him.
