Dog training that empowers you
When your dog looks up they'll see that you're the one leading them through life
Building their confidence through overcoming challenge
Giving fulfilling freedom with responsible structure
Creating trust in a meaningful relationship
That's what our coaching is all about.
Meaningful, personal, and understanding.
The reality is that many of our clients had been trying their best but were making little progress
Most of our clients had already worked with another trainer, or have been following the best advice they can find online. Most of our clients had been working hard to train their dog for months, sometimes years, and for little improvement for them or their dog. All of our clients cared about their dogs more than themselves, and wanted real transformation before it got too much.
Emotionally astute and physically indestructable, when it came to chasing other dogs Luna wouldn't take no for an answer (no mater what was being offered). After trying everything that had been recommended, her dedicated guardians came to us for personalised coaching that could actually make a difference.
LUNA (Staffie) - Bannockburn
When you came to K9 Contact, what issues/goals did you have with your dog?
The main goal we had was to get Luna to the point where she would come back first time, everytime. Most importantly while playing with other dogs.
How would you describe the change in your dogs behaviour?
It's as if we have a new dog! When we first came to Aaron, Luna was a nightmare when it came to other dogs. She was so hyper-fixated on playing with the dogs that she wouldn't listen to a word we said. However, after 6 sessions with Aaron, she listened first time! We have gone from having stressful walks to having the best walks ever 😃
What about your experience with us most stood out to you?
Aaron takes the time to explain everything in as much or as little detail as you want. He's willing to train your dog anyway you would like - as he says, "there are lots of different ways to train a dog, it's about finding the right one for you and your dog!"
If we could have continued to do something more, or done differently, what would that be?
Couldn't have done anything else!
We offer in-person dog training to demanding dogs across Central Scotland, with most of our Coaching Sessions taking place in Stirling.
Your dog comes first
Most pet services aren't designed for demanding dogs, leaving them and their guardians without proper support to turn to. We know, because that's the situation we found ourselves in.
With a lifetime spent caring for and training active dogs, I created K9 Contact to be a judgement-free space designed for your dog. Quality training that doesn't just work, but makes sense.
