🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Borders KMK9 is owned and run by me (Kevin Motion).

Below is a bit more about me...
​​
Having owned many rescue dogs in the last 15 years many with behavioural 'issues', I started learning more about why they are like this and more importantly how to help them.

I've now been working professionally with dogs for over 10 years, including throughout the UK and Internationally. During this time I have been actively involved in Scent sports both teach

ing or competing with my own dogs! Having spent over 10 years working hands-on in the rescue field, working in this sector allowed me to gain invaluable practical experience with all different breeds of dogs. Having owned and worked with rescue dogs for over a decade they are still a huge passion of mine and I wouldn't be here without them. I've run hundreds of training classes and workshops over the last ten years helping hundreds of owners and their dogs, specialising in dog-on-dog reactivity. Along with all this practical experience I also hold several diplomas in behaviour and training, this theory knowledge backs up the practical experience.

I choose to only use science-based training techniques and reward-based training. This means it is just as much fun for your dog as you!

Why choose me?
💥Delivered workshops throughout the UK & Internationally.
💥 Tracking/trailing (SIFD) Instructor (level2)
💥 Was one of the first Sports Mantrailing Instructors in Scotland (Fully qualified Mantrailing Instructor & Assessor)
💥 Formally part of the Mantrailing Global Head Instructor Team
💥 Accredited in Scent Detection with multiple UK & international organisations.
💥 Over a decade of hands on training experience
💥 Award-winning (Specialist Dog Training Service of the Year, Scotland).

How to manage and help you and your dog!

This workshop isn’t about “pushing” you or your dog into uncomfortable or stressful situations.

It’s about learning HOW to cope with them when they do happen!

This full-day workshop will look at strategies and methods to teach not only your dog but you as an owner how to handle these stressful behaviours.

We will be using science based training and lots of play as reinforcements for the owners and dogs…

Dog's will be worked one at a time time to allow other handlers to watch and learn without having to worry what their dogs are doing, this does mean that they need to stay in their vehicles between turns.

Wednesday’s Mantrailing teams enjoyed some new woodlands to find their people in…

New venues are just as much fun for dogs as the owners. New challenges and distractions to work through keeps things fresh…

Looking to get started in a Scent Sport?

I’ve got two options running in the next few weeks… both suitable for dogs that need more space as dogs are worked one at a time.

All the training can be done on lead (Mantrailing dogs are always on a lead).
