🐾 K9 International’s Training Academy 🐾

Another highly successful private training session with Beckett, the young German Shepherd bitch, and her owners Dione & Mark.

Taken by Master K9 Trainer Brian J McKinney, the session continued their work on our Canine Partnership Coaching Programme, developing obedience, clear communication and a strong working relationship between Beckett and her family.

Well done, Dione & Mark — a pleasure to work with you and your lovely girl! 👏🐾

Building confidence, understanding and partnership — together.

🐺🇬🇧 RAMBO – ON REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY SECURITY DUTY 🌺

Looking after young Rambo, the working-line German Shepherd, for a few minutes while his owner and handler, Amy, enjoyed a well-earned brew and a short break from her duties during our Eastham Village Remembrance Sunday Security Operation.

Although, judging by the expression on Rambo’s face, I’m beginning to suspect he was actually looking after me! 🐺🤣❤️

A magnificent young dog, alert, confident and taking his responsibilities very seriously!

🇬🇧 REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2026 – EASTHAM VILLAGE 🌺

K9 SECURITY DETAIL – RAMBO & DD

Today, I had the responsibility of organising and overseeing the road closures, stewarding and security arrangements for the Eastham Village Remembrance Sunday commemorations, working in conjunction with St Mary’s Church and my friend Tracey Fisher MBE, Sheriff of Merseyside.

Pictured are two members of our discreet K9 security detail:

🐕 RAMBO – Working-line German Shepherd, with his handler Amy.

🐕 DD – Belgian Malinois, with her handler Danny.

Both dogs and their handlers are personally trained by me through K9 International’s Training Academy, and I am extremely proud of the professionalism, discipline and composure they demonstrated throughout today’s proceedings.

They formed part of a much larger security operation involving our volunteer stewards, security personnel, motorcycle outriders and an aerial surveillance drone.

Together, the team helped ensure the safe passage of the church and choir, ATC cadets, Guides, Scouts, Sea Scouts, Brownies, Rainbows and Beavers, along with our Sanctuary Military Veterans, as they marched to and from the Cenotaph.

With an estimated 600–800 people attending, the safety and security of everyone involved was paramount.

Our K9 teams maintained a discreet presence throughout, providing an additional layer of security without intruding upon the dignity and solemnity of this important occasion.

Amy and Danny, you both conducted yourselves with great professionalism. Well done! 👏🏻

And as for Rambo and DD…

I think they’ve thoroughly earned a nice big sausage butty!

The dogs, that is — not Amy and Danny! 🤣🐕🐕

A very successful day, and a tremendous team effort in honour of those who served and sacrificed.

LEST WE FORGET. 🌺

PROFESSIONAL CANINE TRAINING & HUMAN–CANINE PARTNERSHIP FOR THE REAL WORLD

At K9 International’s Training Academy, our philosophy is built upon decades of practical experience, professional knowledge and, above all, a profound understanding of the relationship between humans and dogs.

Our approach goes beyond simply teaching obedience. We believe in developing a genuine partnership between dog and handler, founded upon mutual trust, clear communication, understanding, discipline and respect.

Under the direction of Master K9 Trainer Brian J McKinney, Founder of K9 International UK, our Academy provides a comprehensive range of training and specialist development programmes.

🐾 OUR TRAINING & SPECIALIST PROGRAMMES

✅ Canine Partnership Coaching Programme
✅ Obedience, Discipline & Control
✅ Personal Protection Training
✅ K9 Tactical Integration
✅ Therapy & Community Support
✅ Professional K9 Handler Development

THE McKINNEY K9 NETWORK

Our Academy works alongside three distinct but complementary organisations:

🔴 British K9 Association (BKA)
Our principal canine association, promoting responsible ownership, education, training and the human–canine partnership.

❤️ British Therapy K9 Association (BTKA)
Dedicated to the positive contribution of dogs to human wellbeing, companionship and community support.

🐺 British K9 Warriors (BK9W)
A specialist fellowship bringing together owners of personal protection dogs and professional working K9 handlers.

EXPERIENCE • KNOWLEDGE • PROFESSIONALISM

With a dedicated team of trainers and handlers, two operational training centres and a third planned, K9 International continues to develop its professional training services while remaining committed to its founding principles.

We do not believe that successful dog training is simply about commanding an animal.

It is about understanding the dog, developing the handler and forging a partnership in which both can work together with confidence, clarity and mutual respect.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM
– Trisha D’Hoker

It gives me great pleasure to officially welcome WELCOME TO THE TEAM
– Trisha D’Hoker to our professional training team at K9 International’s Training Academy.

Trisha brings with her a wealth of knowledge, specialist qualifications and decades of practical experience in canine training, both in Canada and, more recently, here in the United Kingdom.

Her extensive background includes obedience training, agility and working with German Shepherd Dogs, a breed in which she has particular experience and expertise.

In addition to conventional canine training, Trisha has undertaken specialist training and achieved certification in HRD – Human Remains Detection.

This highly specialised discipline involves training dogs to recognise and locate the scent of human remains, including:

🐾 Archaeological Human Remains Detection – locating historic human bones and burial remains of archaeological significance.

🐾 Cadaver Detection – identifying human decomposition odours and locating human remains.

🐾 Specialist Scent Detection – developing the dog’s ability to discriminate between target human remains odours and other environmental scents.

Trisha is also experienced and trained in Mantrailing, the specialist discipline in which dogs follow an individual person’s scent trail to locate them.

These are demanding areas of canine training requiring considerable knowledge of canine behaviour, scent recognition, handler communication and the development of a reliable working partnership.

QUALITY, EXPERIENCE & PROFESSIONALISM

At K9 International, we take great pride in bringing together highly experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated canine professionals.

Our aim is not simply to build a team of trainers, but to assemble people of exceptional calibre, each bringing their own particular skills, experience and specialist knowledge to the Academy.

Trisha is a very welcome addition to that team, and I look forward to working alongside her as we continue to develop K9 International and its specialist training disciplines.

Welcome aboard, Trisha! 👏🐾

CANINE PARTNERSHIP COACHING PROGRAMME

Another very successful training session this morning with the beautiful Beckett, a young German Shepherd bitch, accompanied by her devoted owners Dione and Mark. 🐕❤️

Beckett continues to make excellent progress through our Canine Partnership Coaching Programme, developing her obedience, discipline, confidence and responsiveness to her owners.

Our philosophy is not simply about training the dog, but about coaching the owners and developing a strong, trusting partnership between human and canine.

Beckett is a lovely young German Shepherd with tremendous potential, and it is a pleasure watching her partnership with Dione and Mark develop with each session.

Session conducted by:
Master K9 Trainer Brian J McKinney

👏 Well done to Dione, Mark and, of course, the wonderful Beckett!

Another highly successful session at K9 International’s Training Academy.
