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.
(1202)

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.

⚠️ The UK is getting more dangerous:
• Over 530,000 shoplifting incidents in the last year — a record high.
• More than 151,000 thefts from the person (pickpocketing, bag snatches, phone grabs).
• Street robberies and assaults are rising, with violence against women now making up 20% of all recorded crime.
• That’s 1 woman attacked every 16 seconds.

Our streets aren’t safe — even broad daylight doesn’t guarantee protection.

At A1K9, we provide elite family protection dogs — loyal companions trained to keep you safe at home, on the school run, or out walking alone.

💡 Police take minutes. An A1K9 reacts in seconds.
💡 Criminals look for easy targets. With an A1K9 by your side, you’re never one of them.

🚨 Don’t be another statistic. Choose safety. Choose A1K9.

The remainder of the Bowie and Lily beach pics. Just to show that despite the dogs high level of training and his abiity to deal with adversity, Bowie is just as happy to be the family pet and the kids best friend. CW

As promised, here is another selection of picures I took with Lilly and A1K9 family protection dog Bowie at St Elli's Bay beach last week.
They say diamonds are as girl's best friend but I think Lilly would beg to differ!
I have a couple more left to post, let me know what you think. CW

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of taking my friends grand daughter to the beach with her favourite A1K9 for a photo shoot. The young lady is Lilly who is no stranger to our dogs as she has been around them since she was a baby (keep your eyes open as a then and now video coming soon) and in case you don't recognise him, the doggo is none other than A1K9 Bowie.
I particularly wanted some natural pictures away from the kennels to show off the sweet side of this super capable family protection dog but as it was a warm day, we left it until late in the afternoon to go to the beach and I was a little worried the shots may have come out a little dark.
After an ice cream and a coffee, we walked along the beach and I was surprised at how few people were around and it made me think just how vunerable a young girl may feel if going for a beach walk without an adult, unless of course they have a Bowie to keep them safe.
Food for thought, our protection dogs are first and foremost, loyal and obedient family pets, they typically act as the kids confidante, friend and playmate but they are also a force to be reckoned with should anyone want to interfere with their charges safety and security.
With over 30 years in the business of training and supplying the finest protection dogs available, I can honestly say there has never been a time when these dogs have been more needed than now.

I hope you like the pics, I took loads more and may share a few more tomorrow, so if you want more, please let me know in the comments.

Stay safe everyone CW # 🐾🐶❤️

What a thoroughly wet and miserable day at A1K9 HQ in Wales today, so thank ful that we have an indoor training facility here or I would have been wetter than a duck in the pond.
Which is why I always try to have a few nice pictures in reserve to post.

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT NEWS!

Here is Buddy, my friend's Jack Russel, who I know Keira posted a couple of pics of this week. Buddy's owners were struggling to get him to perform basic obedience, so whilst they were away, both Buddy and Karim (their trained A1K9 family protection dog) came back to A1K9, Karim for a top up and refresher and Buddy for a 2 week bootcamp.
The results achieved with Buddy were beyond their expectations and I quote their words, you have trained the untrainable!

This got me thinking as for years people have asked if we could offer a shorter residential training package, to coincide with their holidays, or extended business trips and it is something we have never offered - UNTIL NOW.

Boot Camp is now available for your pet and during their two week stay at our kennel, we will work with whatever aspects of your dogs' obedience training that you feel could be improved upon.

The Bootcamp is not designed to take the place of our established 4 to 5 week residential obedience course as clearly, it is not possible to cram 4 to 5 weeks training into two, however, I am sure it will prove popular with those who cannot bring themselves to part with their beloved Pet for a month or more.

Interested? Please give us a call to book your slot in advance as there are limited spaces available each month.

Oh and thank you Buddy for giving me the inspiration and the idea. CW :)

Training complete for Buddy & Karim!

Over the past two weeks at A1K9, Buddy nailed his obedience training while Karim sharpened his skills with a refresher course. Both left looking sharp, confident, and ready to put their training into action.

It’s always a pleasure seeing our dogs and their owners head home with stronger skills and an even closer bond.

As many of you know, I love getting out with the camera and the dogs and as a petrol head, I'm even happier if I can have a supercar as a back drop.
Here is A1K9 Bow, a Malinois female and one of our top family protection dogs, posing next to a friend's magnificent Ferrari 458.
The little Pom that I'm training for a client had to make an appearance in the air scoop too!
Nice to get to post something for a change. CW 😀
