Michael also assesses dogs for the magistrates courts, these dogs have been seized under the Dangerous dogs Act for one reason or another.
Usually when a dog is seized under the DDA Michael is instructed by the courts or by the solicitors of the client who owns the dog to do an initial assessment which will help the courts make a decision on any subsequent control orders that may be placed on the dog depending on the out come of the assessment among other factors, the assessment is a 30 point assessment done usually at the Police kennels or Police training grounds or sometimes at the discretion of both the courts & police it can be done at our training grounds in Kent.

Michael is also a member of the BIPDT (British Institute of Professional Dog Training) and a founding member of the NRDTB.
Please make sure whoever you trust your beloved dog to they actually have the necessary qualifications and practical experience to begin to understand your dogs mind and its behavior as far to often we see clients and their dogs that come to us that have been messed up with so called dog trainers forcing aggression or using incorrect out dated training methods on the dogs without little thought to the consequences, or mis diagnosing what they are seeing and sending owners away with misguided incorrect information or by telling dog owners to fix a problem you need to use harsher training methods.
Michael says so many times I have been to dog training clubs and left because the trainer does not understand the dogs mind and trains all breeds the same way or far to harshly, dogs are like us in many ways they feel, think, and are different in the varying traits they have to their specific breed.
We train dogs using their natural drives and get results without harsh dog training techniques that have no place in the dog training world and training methods have moved on from what it was 15 or even 10 years ago.
We first ask you what you want to achieve with your dog whether its basic obedience, agility, high level home personal protection work, IGP training, Security Guard Dog training, we then assess you and your dog and tell you what the realistic chances of success with the dog you have are and not just tell you what you want to hear as we don't believe in wasting your time or ours.
If you just want fun dog training or companion dog training at a friendly dog training club thats great just come along get involved and feel part of a club that wants to see you and your dog do well no matter what type of training you decide on or what breed of dog you have.
The CPD Group reviews trainers CV, qualifications, ID, relevant training certificates and insurances to ensure that the trainer has the expertise, experience, and qualifications to deliver high standard CPD Activities.
This verification instils trust in
the learner’s mind leaving them confident that they are being taught by an expert in that field.

Check out our Schutzhund / IPO Website if you want this type of training as it is very different to pet dog training IPO requires more dog/handler focus and high drive dogs among many other attributes.
We use the natural drives of the dogs, but few dogs are suitable for IPO Working Trials.

There is a misconception that you need to get a dog from a puppy or start training them really young while this is somewhat true Canines can learn at any age just like us humans can so don't be put off training with your dog no matter what age they are.
We have worked with many different breeds and yes indeed some are easier to train than others and one of the most common questions we get asked is which Dog Breed is right for me here K9 TRAINING SERVICES can give you the information that will help you decide which dog is most suited to you & your lifestyle like for instance do you live in the city or the country, do you have children, other dogs, do you live in a house or an apartment etc, there are various things to consider before you even think of getting that cute puppy you saw at the breeders or the dog you are about to rehome from your local rescue centre, puppies won't stay that little for too long and the dog you are about to rehome ask yourself does it have behavioural issues has it aggression issues with other dogs or humans, why was it left at the shelter these are all questions you should ask after all this puppy or adult dog will be with you for a long time to come.
So as you can see there is lots of things to think about before you decide on what Dog Breed is right for you & your family.
Just check out our Dog Breeds page for a little more advice on the different dog breeds that are out there it may just help you decide.
