Benefits of dog training
Improved behavior
Training helps dogs learn basic commands and appropriate behaviors, such as sit, stay, and recall (coming when called). This leads to a well-behaved and obedient dog, making it easier to manage and live with your pet
Enhanced safety
Training can be crucial for your dog's safety. Teaching commands like "leave it" or "stay" can prevent accidents, such as your dog chasing after a car or eating something harmful. A well-trained dog is less likely to put themselves in dangerous situations.
Stronger bonds
Training sessions provide an opportunity for you and your dog to bond and communicate effectively. Positive reinforcement techniques build trust and create a positive association between you and your pet. A well-trained dog is often a happier and more secure companion.
Who we are
Hi, I’m Craig. Originated from the name of my faithful companion, Kilo, ‘Kilo’s K9 Training’ was built with a commitment to helping dogs and their owners thrive together. Throughout my entire life, dogs have been an integral part of it and I have always had a deep-seated passion for dog training. It's something that comes naturally to me, and this connection with dogs and the art of training them has truly shaped my life.
In Kilo’s K9 Training, our mission is to create a harmonious relationship between you and your dog by addressing behavior challenges and fostering obedience through a holistic and compassionate approach.
We believe that every dog is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to behavior challenges. We take the time to understand the individual needs and personality of each dog we work with, allowing us to tailor our training and behavior modification techniques accordingly.
With years of experience and a deep understanding of canine behavior, I lead our team with a dedicated focus on fostering the well-being and success of both dogs and their owners. Building trust, one paw at a time.

Our services
Basic obedience training
We offer basic obedience training services. This includes teaching dogs essential commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and heel. Basic training lays the foundation for good behavior and helps dogs become well-mannered pets.
Puppy Training and Socialisation
Puppy training focuses on teaching young dogs basic commands and socialisation skills. Proper socialisation during a puppy's early months is crucial for them to become well-adjusted and confident adult dogs.
Behavior modification
We specialize in behavior modification services. We work with dogs exhibiting behavioral issues such as aggression, fear, separation anxiety, phobias, and compulsive behaviors. Behavior modification techniques are used to address the root causes of these problems and improve the dog's overall behavior and emotional well-being.
Virtual dog training session
Our live virtual sessions allow you to actively participate in your dog's training, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback from our trainers. Our approach is rooted in science-based, positive reinforcement methods.
What our clients say about us
“We asked Craig to help us with our very nervous 1 year old golden retriever. From just one session Craig gave us some amazing tips to use to help with our dogs nervousness and build his confidence. We know it won’t be an overnight fix and we have some way to go still but already walks are much less stressful! Thank you Craig, you have helped us so much!!!”
Caitlin O'Sullivan
“Our little pup Teddy was a nightmare when it came to barking. Craig came round for two hours and it’s like we have a new puppy. She has completely changed. Craig had some great advice and tips. Such a great guy and we would definitely recommend.”
Sarah Gregory
“Our pooch was being over protective and barking too much. Craig helped us understand why this was happening and taught us training techniques to help stop that behavior. The results were instantaneous! I recommend calling Craig, to help train your dog.We now have a dog that doesn’t bark unnecessarily and we know how to re-teach her, should she fall back into her old habits.”
Joe Patrick
“I have had one lesson so far for Rufus. He is a rescue lurcher and the progress made with both him and me is amazing. This morning I took him to woods. I did not let him off yet (that would not be fair too soon he is a baby and a rescue) but I used what I have learnt so far and he did listen and respond to me we had no sticky moments! Thank you Kilo’s K9 Training.”
Geni Shephard

Frequently asked questions
Kilo’s K9 Training possesses an uncanny ability to connect with dogs on a deep level.
When is the best age for my dogs to socialise?
The best age is when your dog has learned first on how to coexist with other dogs. Learning to coexist should come before any socialisation activity.
What training methods do you use?
All our methods revert back to positive reinforcement.
Are you a certified dog trainer?
Yes we are. We have received formal training in dog behavior and training techniques.
How long does it typically take to see results from dog training?
The time it takes to see results from dog training can vary widely depending on several factors, including the dog's age, breed, temperament, the specific behaviors being addressed, and the consistency of training.
Do you offer group or individual training sessions?
We provide individual training sessions because they tend to yield faster and more effective results.
