(2)

We deliver a practical blueprint for effective dog training, broken down into achievable steps for the novice and professional alike, delivered through engaging videos and articles. Our mission is to give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to train your dog effectively, at your pace, and enjoy yourself while doing it. The core training we deliver is split into four categories: Puppy Developm

ent, Nosework, Dog Sport, and General training. All of our training is complimented with personal chats, and moments you can relate to. Dogs are animals, not machines, and we keep in those unexpected mishaps and inevitable issues, teaching you the solutions. We won’t just show you the polished version. We are real people, with a genuine passion for training and developing ever-lasting bonds with our dogs, and we are here to support you on your journey with The K9 Blueprint. Introducing Adrian Hornsby

Our training is brought to you by Adrian Hornsby, a world-renowned expert who has a reputation of being a trusted, leading dog trainer. A master of his craft, Adrian breaks down his training into understandable segments, delivered with personality. Dog training is in Adrian’s blood, being a third generation trainer. His own journey with dogs started in his teens, and he has trained canines for the entirety of his working life, which now stretches beyond 35 years. Adrian has worked with thousands of owners/handlers and their dogs in that time, training dogs for the police, prison service and other government agencies, both in the UK and right across the world. Throughout his career, he has delivered seminars internationally, helping both beginners and highly skilled professionals in the development of their training and their dogs. He has also competed in IGP (Internationale Gebrauchshund Pruefung) previously known as IPO, VPG or Schutzhund, a sport in which he excels. Based in Thetford, a market town in Norfolk, England, Adrian remains as passionate as ever in his mission to help people of all experiences and abilities with the training of their dogs, and welcomes you to join him with The K9 Blueprint.
