Welcome to Military K9.
Fundamentals First
If your dog struggles with the basics like sitting calmly, walking nicely on the lead, or staying focused when distractions appear, you are not alone. These are the areas where many owners start to feel frustrated and unsure of what to do next.
Good leadership is not about being strict or controlling. It is about giving your dog clear, consistent guidance they can understand. When expectations are predictable, dogs settle more easily, make better choices, and feel more confident in their environment. Without that foundation, even well-meaning training can begin to unravel as soon as real life adds pressure.
Loose lead walking is often the first sign that a dog is either connected to their handler or mentally elsewhere. Marker training adds clarity and timing, helping your dog understand exactly what you are asking. Together, these skills create stability and set your dog up to cope calmly when things get busy. As a new client, this is where we start. Not because it is flashy, but because it works.
You do not have to figure this out on your own. I support you at every stage of your training journey, with clear guidance, online coaching and ongoing support, and progression classes that continue to develop both your dog’s behaviour and your own handling skills. The aim is not just short-term improvement, but lasting confidence for you and your dog.
If you want a dog that listens, focuses, and feels secure with you leading the way, it starts at ground level. I will help you build it properly, step by step.

If you are interested in working with me, please fill out the contact form below and I’ll get in touch with you. Our training works best for dog owners who are ready to be consistent, open-minded, and actively involved in the process. We're here to support and guide you, but lasting results come from teamwork and follow-through. If you're committed to making real changes and building a strong relationship with your dog, you'll be in the right place.
“Honestly, Wayne’s support has been transformational”
-Jo, Melton Mowbray
I would absolutely 100% recommend Wayne. Our Bedlington was quite reactive towards other dogs and we had tried so many different methods ourselves which werent really helping Ted. Wayne came recommended and what a difference now. We do the pack walks which teaches your dog the behaviour you expect around other dogs, people and different environments. From us being nervous about taking Ted to a cafe, we can now relax with him sitting or lying calmly next to us.
“If you’re looking for a top trainer then look no further.”
-Ken, Leicester
After attending a positive only trainer with my dog, I thought I was always going to have a naughty dog as the things I was shown while at the training centre didn’t work at home.
Wayne was recommended to me and I booked in for a 1-2-1 session. Wayne is brilliant, he explained things in a way that I could understand and really broke down what he meant. I highly recommend Wayne and will not be going anywhere else. I like the fact that he doesn’t beat around the bush and if he sees that the issue is with me rather than my dog he’ll tell me straight which I fully respect.
“Wayne is a brilliant dog trainer, I would highly recommend”
-Kelly, Cropston
We’ve had great support & guidance through 121’s and bootcamps with our Cane Corso puppy, Robert. Wayne has really helped us to understand the importance of consistency, manners & play, which is helping Robert learn how to be calm & well mannered in all situations. We’re looking forward to continuing our training journey for us & Robert with Wayne.
