Protection Dogs TOTAL K9 ®️

I can’t rate Rob and his team highly enough. They had my GSD for residential training to work on some aggressive behaviour shown towards our other dog and also with her obedience training. The results were fantastic and she is so well behaved even our 6yr old daughter can walk her through our village.I can’t thank you guys enough and look forward to returning soon.

I need using my daughter’s google accounting to wrote “Thanks” to Total K9. We bought protection dog-“Bella” from them at two weeks ago. Because we got robbery before, that was scared my daughter and my wife. When Bella came to our home, my wife not felt restless in the night. Bella is very clever, friendly And loyalty. Bella always follow the order, even she came to our home in the first day. In these 14 days, Bella already built good relationships with my daughter, my wife and even our naughty cat.

We sent our 1 and a bit year old Rottweiler to this place after visiting it thinking it would be a great place for him to be trained for the six weeks. We had videos and contact from his trainer saying he was doing will, to be told three days before we were due to pick him up he has fallen ill.We were advised to pick him up early as they has taken him to there local vets and they were concerned for his health - turns out it was kennel cough ( he has been vaccinated from it). The dog had lost 10 kg of weight which we found it difficult to happen in that short amount do time . He came home very ill and we took him to our vets in which he then proceed to attack myself, my partner and the vet. Once I has spoken to the trainer it turned out they have muzzled him and force the Medication in him therefore making him very unhappy with being handled.I called up to ask for advice on how handle this to be met with a defensive and unpleasant response . To cut a long story short his behaviour towards myself and partner has gradually got worse resulting in unpredictable behaviour and aggression. Which unfortunately has lead to him being out down today. My heart is Broken and the people we trusted let us down. I would not recommend taking your dog to this place. My Samboy was never the same.

I cannot thank the team enough at TOTAL K9 for their excellent service (Matt,Jordan,Lauren & Sophie). There was no pressure selling and the team were patient and helpful in matching me with my gorgeous German Shepherd Zeus (formerly Chester) based on my personal circumstances and preferences.I received regular videos and updates prior to taking delivery of him a few weeks later.My boy has settled in really well and is happy and loving. I finaly feel safe once again in my own home and it's all down to the fabulous work the team do in training their dogs in obedience and protection.

Just over 4 weeks since Kilo joined the family, so thought it was the right time for an update.In short, we could not be happier. He has completely settled into our family, home and routines. Kilo is superb with the children, and amazingly protective of them. He spends all day with me, either in the study or clocking up the miles, both of wish he relishes.From a working point of view, he has certainly founds his guarding voice, which is great. When out and about with him, he is very easy, but acutely aware of what is going on around him. Watching him protecting and walking to the ‘heel’ of the pram is amazing. All other obedience elements are solid, and little and often I do training with him to reinforce / remind.A brilliant outcome, we love him.Please find attached a picture of him posing during a long walk with me, and another of Lucas ‘in charge’!

I wanted to wait a couple of months to write a review to make sure it was an accurate reflection of Sophie’s work.My husband and I brought our dog up to total k9 as we were desperate for help with her behaviour. She is a 50kg Romanian sheepdog that we rescued and she was incredibly reactive, barking and lunging and once, when I wasn’t able to hold her, even biting another dog and breaking my finger in the process. She had become unmanageable and we were trying to either rehome her or reach the heartbreaking decision to put her down if she was not safe to be around our 1 year old son. We had already tried traditional training, paid a private trainer to come to our house and, when speaking to police dog trainers, we had been told that residential training isn’t really that effective.We decided to try anyway. Total k9, and Sophie in particular, were our last resort. We’d been walking the dog with 3 leads, having to physically restrain her on multiple occasions so the little slip lead did not fill us with confidence. We did, however, put our trust in them and the process and I’m so glad we did. It’s been nearly 2 months now and I cannot explain the magic that Sophie has done.We are now able to communicate with our dog, walking her has become a pleasure and even when she does try to react (which is very sporadically), I am able to keep her under control with ease. If you are wondering whether the process (or TOTAL K9) is worth the moneys, then please let me assure you that they are!!!

I left my boy X with Total K9 for six weeks. He was nine months old and he was quite aggressive to other dogs and people at this time. X had few weeks training previously with a completely useless dog trainer in London.This guy did advise me that my dog is really nervous and is not going to be a good guarding dog. I did not give up on my boy and did my research ,friend of mine advice me about Total K9 Ltd. I have to be completely honest that Rob and his professional team have done miracles with my boy . He did told me that he will see how X is doing for two weeks , and will advice if he is good for further training . After the two weeks Rob said that X is really good dog and not nervous at all. We left him for four more weeks and I had back a completely different dog. Very good obedience, not aggressive and really good behaviour.A massive thank you to Rob and his crew for their hard and professional work.

We cannot speak highly enough of Total K9. We have purchased two dogs from Rob and both have bless us with love, fun and protection. We got Ustin in March 2018 and Shelby just a few weeks ago. Both were trained in protection and obedience to a very high standard by Rob and his team. That training and the high calibre of working bloodline German Shepherds that Rob supplies has rewarded us with daily enjoyment and peace of mind. We were slightly nervous how a big dog would get on with our little Jack Russel and Pug, we didn’t need to be, they both love Ustin and now Shelby too.Rob thank you ever so much, we couldn’t be happier with Shelby and with Ustin. We have an almost perfect family, we feel very safe and that is down to the great work that you do and the magnificent dogs that you supply. Anyone considering a protection dog should talk to Rob, his professionalism and experience and that of his team will impress you and your dog will impress you even more than that. When the time comes for us to have another German Shepherd, there is no doubt that we will only be contacting Total K9.

My two dogs spent a few weeks with Rob and his Team to try to improve their behavior on a few fronts, in particular their walking (not pulling) and also joint walking together (which was never previously possible). What a transformation, they are like two different dogs when out and about walking now. My lab no longer pulls like a huskey on a sled and walks beautifully to heel with zero pulling, and my sprocker is a pure delight (he is even much calmer at home as well). When walking them together it is amazing, a true transformation. We had NEVER been able to take them out together, however, now this changes everything for the better. Rob and his Team and in particular Matt and Lewis are superb. So pleasant, patient and outstanding trainers. This team are the best of the best and we will not hesitate to come back for further training needs and development for our dogs.

I am not one for writing reviews but felt absolutely compelled after dealing with the Total K9 Family.. We have a miniature Dachshund, a Pekingese, 3 children, which brings pretty full days, especially in the situation we are all currently faced with. After reading a plea for help from a young family to rehome a large puppy, we uncharacteristically jumped in. The puppy was 5 months at that stage and wild, having lived in a flat with 3 children under 5 and having had no lead experience as such, that said she was a beautifully gentle soul, we were hooked. We invested in training with 2 separate trainers over a few months, 1 ex BT Police, 1 ex forces, after 3 or 4 lessons with each we were being told that her bad start had severely damaged her, initially separated from parents too young (European import), then no firm training, and we had tried our best and wouldn’t be judged if the task was too big to manage and chose to rehome her, again. I contacted Total K9 as almost a last resort, after reading dozens of positive reviews. From initial contact with Rob and Lauren, I knew I had made a great choice. They took time to explain their methods and reassure that if she wasn’t quick to settle, they would let me know, as I didn’t want to cause any more stress. After dropping her for 2 weeks training at their beautiful farm, I left wondering if I had done the right thing. A few hours later a video was sent with our Girl ‘Lenny’ playing with a GSD, like she hadn’t a care in the world. The video updates were regular, her progress was remarkable, I felt like I had finally done right by her. We live in a major city and she would cower from passing vehicles, dogs, people, the K9 videos demonstrated her daily progress in towns, in shops, interacting with other dogs with confidence, was heart-warming. After 2 week I nervously turned up, not knowing if she would even want to come home or if I would almost remind her of the shell she was on arrival. I was greeted by licks, wags and a new confidence, such a lovely feeling. I thought at this point it would be payment and gone (I had already opened the boot) but I spent a further 2 hours onsite learning the training methods, I was then driven into the local town by 2 staff and owner to demonstrate the learning in a real environment. Incredibly caring and knowledgeable business, they should all be immensely proud of the business they have built. I would like to especially thank ‘Josh’ who kept me updated throughout. Josh took our girl out daily, to the local towns, beach, unlike the previous trainers who petrified her, she was visibly torn between coming home with me or staying with Josh, a phenomenal trainer.! Again, I don’t write reviews, its not often you are blown away by a service provider these days, but they are exceptional, and ‘Lenny’ will certainly be back for further learning. As with our children you invest wisely in their futures and with Total K9, I can assure you it’s a very wise investment. Thank you.!
