Rutland’s Leading Dog Training & Behaviour Expert

Built on 18 Years of Military K9 Experience

Wayne, founder of Military K9 with Hugo the best trained Black Labrador in the world

Hi, I’m Wayne, founder of Military K9 Training & Behaviour, based in Oakham, Rutland. With 18 years of experience as a British Army dog handler and trainer, and the last 4 years working with the public, I bring a no-nonsense, results driven approach to dog training that’s grounded in real-world experience.

I’ve worked across the globe on operational deployments, training and handling dogs alongside American law enforcement, U.S. Special Forces, and our own elite Special Boat Service. Today, I use that same level of discipline, structure, and understanding to help dog owners build lasting relationships with their dogs.

Whether you need 1:1 coaching, group sessions, behaviour modification for reactivity or aggression, or want to explore scent work and tracking, I offer a balanced training approach that focuses on fulfilment, structure, and building true communication between dog and owner. My goal? To turn every client into a mini dog trainer, confident, capable, and in control.

If you're ready to put in the work, I'm here to guide you with honesty, clarity, and a training plan that works.
