How we can help

Wherever you are with your dog, we're here to help.

Whether you're welcoming a new puppy into your family, struggling with lead pulling or recall, navigating the challenges of adolescence, or supporting a dog who barks and lunges when worried or overwhelmed, we're here to help.

About the puppy course
Our approach

Behaviour rewarded is repeated.

We believe every dog is an individual. Our training focuses on understanding your dog's behaviour, building confidence and teaching practical skills that work in everyday life.

As Force Free, reward-based trainers, we've signed up to a code of ethics never to harm an owner or their dog, mentally or physically, through any training we offer.

Meet your trainer

Hi, I'm Gary, the trainer behind KarmaK9.

I'm a sole trader dog trainer offering one-to-one consultations and training, puppy classes and a range of other courses that run on evenings, depending on the time of year.

Our speciality is the Reactive to Relaxed six-week course, working with anxious, nervous, frustrated or aggressive dogs.

I also have a team of six trainers who I mentor as they qualify through the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) accreditation courses.
