A1K9 Dog Training

A1K9 Dog Training Trainers and suppliers of A1K9s the ultimate in family and personal protection dogs – canine bodyguards At A1K9 we pride ourselves on the highest standards.
(1199)

The highest standards in selecting our dogs, the highest standards in training them, and the highest standards in matching them perfectly with our clients’ requirements both in terms of personal protection and family life. Our dogs are there to be part of your family, and to protect your family whenever necessary. Whilst personal protection dogs absolutely have to protect, they are very different

animals to military dogs and most police dogs or working security dogs. These working dogs usually perform one role only and only in tandem with specialist handlers. They are generally not encouraged to socialise and usually don’t make good pets as they are normally not encouraged to be accepting of outsiders. A genuine personal protection dog though has to pack more muscle than these working dogs, must be able to think for itself when needed, and at the same time needs impeccable social skills to bond perfectly and easily into a family unit. In short, personal protection dogs must be as happy playing with the children as they are neutralising the threat from an armed robber. Knowing how to select the right dogs for this role, and then being able to train them into it over many months takes a great amount of knowledge and a deep understanding of both the animals and the clients they will ultimately work with. A1K9 has almost 20 years of experience in this highly-specialised field and a satisfied client list that extends around the world, many of whom are coming back for their second, third and even fourth dogs. It’s a record we are very proud of and one we believe speaks for itself. If you’d like to find out more we’re always happy to talk so please feel free to call us on +44 (0)1792 883395, email us [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you.

Every A1K9 dog is selected for sound temperament first.
Bowie is a perfect example — steady, social and able to work calmly with a 12-year-old.
This is the standard.

🎓🐾 From Chaos to Calm – Luna’s Bootcamp Journey! 🐾🎓

Everyone, meet Luna — the beautiful, bright spark who came to us at A1K9 with big energy and even bigger feelings about the world around her. When she first joined our bootcamp, Luna struggled with severe reactivity and some pretty intense lead pulling. Walks were stressful, distractions were overwhelming, and her owners found it hard to help her switch off and enjoy the world calmly.

Fast forward to today… and it’s a completely different story. 🌟

Through patience, structure, and consistency, Luna has learned how to focus, relax, and look to her handler for guidance instead of reacting to every sound, sight, or movement. With the help of our incredible trainer Matt, she’s transformed from a whirlwind of energy into a confident, well-mannered dog who’s now a joy to walk.

Seeing her progress has been nothing short of amazing — the loose lead, the calm engagement, and that beautiful eye contact say it all. She’s gone from lunging and barking to strolling calmly by your side, ready to take on the world in true A1K9 style. 🐕✨

🎓🐾 Bootcamp Graduate Alert! 🐾🎓

Meet Sheeba, our gorgeous bundle of energy who’s just completed her A1K9 bootcamp — and wow, what a transformation!

When Sheeba first arrived, her main challenges were reactivity and a bit too much enthusiasm on the lead (let’s just say she was taking her humans for a walk, not the other way around 😅). But after some dedicated training with Matt, one of our expert A1K9 trainers, Sheeba has absolutely smashed it.

Her focus, confidence, and calmness around other dogs have come on leaps and bounds — and that lead work? Smooth as butter now! ✨

We had the pleasure of handing her back to her lovely owners, Ben and Maddie, who were thrilled with the difference in their girl. The smiles said it all — Sheeba’s ready to enjoy her walks, adventures, and chilled downtime with a whole new level of control and confidence.

Massive well done to Sheeba, Ben, Maddie, and of course Matt for all the hard work and dedication! 👏
