My dog Jaxon has just spent a month with Jed and the team and all I can say is… what a transformation!!
They have done an amazing job with Jaxon and he was really well loved and cared for which is also very obvious in how Jaxon is with them.
Well worth the money.
Thank you for everything

We had a fantastic experience with Platinum K9 and couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. From the first interaction, the team were friendly, professional and clearly passionate about dogs.
The training was excellent, and we were given great advice and guidance that we could continue to use at home. They took the time to understand our dog and the improvement he’s made has been amazing.
We also felt completely comfortable using their kennels and it was reassuring to know our dog was in the hands of people who genuinely care.
I would highly recommend Platinum K9 to anyone looking for professional dog training or safe, caring kennels. We’re really happy with the experience and will continue using them 🐾

We took our dog Buster (3 year old fox red Labrador ) in to Platinum K9 for reactivity/ aggression issues towards other dogs. He had always been a nervous dog and we struggled with controlling him on walks as he would pull and  lunge towards dogs, sometimes taking us into the road. Buster was with trainer Molly for 3 weeks and with all the update videos and pictures starting from that evening we knew he was having the best care. The first few days we were blow away! Buster was walking loosely and calmly on his lead knowing that Molly was the leader which was amazing. When we got more updates and the amazing weekly progress videos myself and my family were speechless. Buster was walking with other dogs he would normally be aggressive to and he looked calm and happy too to do. The handover was amazing we learnt how to keep up with busters training and ensure we had the confidence to keep going too. Molly and Dan were amazing and so patient providing the best advice and guidance. The ongoing support has been great. Knowing we can contact them with any questions or concerns, I couldn’t recommend platinum K9 enough they’ve transformed Buster and us to be able to give him the life he deserves from no on.

Absolutely fantastic – what a transformation!

Mia and the whole team at Platinum K9 Dog Training have been absolutely fantastic. We honestly can’t believe the transformation in Tegan after her training!

At just 10 months old, our German Shepherd has made incredible progress. Her loose-lead walking has improved massively, but the biggest change has been her impulse control and ability to settle.

Tegan can now resist some of her biggest temptations — visitors coming into the house, Mum’s floor mop 😂, and even our dinner! She will happily stay on her “bed” and wait patiently until she hears the magic release word ' Finished'.

For a young, energetic German Shepherd, this is something we never imagined we would see so soon!

Mia and the team have given Tegan such a brilliant foundation and, just as importantly, have given us the confidence and knowledge to continue her training at home.

We couldn’t be happier with the results. A huge thank you to Mia and everyone at Platinum K9 for all the patience, hard work and care you’ve put into our girl.

100% recommended — a very well-deserved 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would highly recommend these guys! I’ve struggled for a long time with my dogs reactivity and despite trying lots of training myself and many 1-1 training sessions with local trainers I finally decided it was time to get some help from platinum K9 and it was the best thing I ever did!
Roo completed 3 weeks residential training back in May and I’ve been so impressed with the whole process. I was regularly kept updated of Roos progress and wellbeing by her trainer Jed and sent pictures and videos throughout. When I went for my handover, they spent lots of time going through everything with me and couldn’t be more supportive! Even now months on Jed checks in from time to time and is so quick to come back to me if I have any questions! It’s taken me until now to write a review as one of my worries was that eventually Roo might slip and things go back to the way they were but I can assure anyone reading this that it was the best thing I’ve done for both my dog and me! The training I learned I’ve implemented with my other dogs too. Thanks so much for changing mine and my dogs life’s!

Highly recommended
I sent my dog Ralph to Platinum K9 for a four‑week residential programme to address aggression, resource guarding, and severe reactivity on walks. Before this, I was living in a constant state of fight‑or‑flight and my mental health was really suffering. Making the decision to send Ralph was incredibly difficult, but it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made.

From the moment I dropped him off, everything felt professional and reassuring. Conor immediately put me at ease, and throughout the four weeks he kept me updated via WhatsApp. I genuinely looked forward to the weekly progress videos, seeing Ralph’s development gave me hope at a time I really needed it.

The change in Ralph since coming home is unbelievable. He now has clear boundaries, and our home life is so much calmer. Walks, which used to be stressful and unpredictable, are now enjoyable with little to no reactivity. I finally feel equipped with the tools and confidence to handle any unwanted behaviour.

I want to thank Conor from the bottom of my heart. He hasn’t just helped Ralph, he’s helped me too. Life is now happier, safer, and more peaceful for both of us, and I’m truly grateful for everything Platinum K9 has done

We sent our 18-month-old goldendoodle, Wilson, to Platinum K9 for four weeks of residential training and genuinely cannot recommend them enough!

We had recently relocated from Dubai to the UK and Wilson suddenly found himself in a completely different environment. Squirrels, foxes, busy towns and lots of people were new distractions and triggers for him. He was becoming increasingly reactive on the lead, would fixate on things around him and, once something had his attention, we really struggled to get it back. He also found it difficult to simply switch off and relax when he had a view of the garden!

Sending him away for four weeks was a big decision, but Molly was BRILLIANT with him. We were kept updated throughout his stay and it was amazing watching his progress week by week.

The difference when we collected him was incredible. His loose-leash walking, impulse control and general calmness had completely transformed. He had learnt to look to us for direction, control his impulses and actually switch off. Most importantly, he was still completely Wilson! He hadn’t lost any of his personality, excitement or playfulness – he had simply learnt how to regulate it.

The best testament to his training came a few weeks later when Wilson played a very special role as ring bearer at our wedding in London. Having him calmly be part of such an important day, surrounded by people, excitement and all the distractions of central London, was something we genuinely wouldn’t have felt confident doing before his time at Platinum K9. It made having him there with us even more special.

Molly took so much time teaching us how to communicate with Wilson, understand the training and continue everything ourselves at home. It really feels like Platinum haven’t just trained our dog – they’ve given us the tools and confidence to get so much more out of life with him.

Wilson adored Molly and it was obvious how much time, patience and care she had put into him. Four weeks away from your dog feels like a long time, but seeing the difference it has made to both Wilson and us, we would make the same decision again in a heartbeat.

A huge thank you to Molly and everyone at Platinum K9. Worth every penny and one of the best things we could have done for Wilson.

We have recently had our reactive golden Labrador with Platinum K9 and I cannot recommend highly enough. It has changed our lives. Dobby reacted heavily to other dogs when she was on the lead. She had a 3 week residential with her trainer Dan (who is fantastic by the way) and it has transformed her. We were sceptical and this was a last resort for us, we came to them in desperation hoping we could just walk her nicely, whilst not having to cross the road or do early 6am walks.
We collected her 2 days ago, and today, we went through a busy park with lots of other dogs, with Dobby walking so nicely by our side. Whilst we know this is a long term journey, the 3 hour handover we were given on collection has taught us what we need to know. We even then went to sit in a pub garden (with other dogs), with Dobby lying nicely by our sides not reacting. This has honestly been the best decision we made. Put your trust in these guys- they know what they are doing.
Dan- we wanted to give a special shout out to you. You made us feel so comfortable, was non judgmental, super friendly, and updated us consistently throughout her stay with you. Your advice is second to none and we are so pleased she had you as her trainer. Dobby is the happiest Labrador and I think your infectious personality matched hers really well! The training is in house but they also take the dogs out into real situations- parks and towns, which makes a huge difference as our dog didn’t react to dogs she knew. We advised this on the detailed handover when we dropped her off, and they really listened to our struggles so they knew the best plan for her training. Real life situations was where we needed the help, not just familiar dogs. She also used to bark in the garden at our neighbours dog, and with the advice given on collection, one quick method of training has stopped her doing this.
I really cannot wait to have a happier life with our dog Dobby. It already has lifted such a stressful experience for a much loved dog and we will be forever grateful.
Thank you so much- and remember, every day is a dog day ;)

we had Zach look after our 3 yr old Hungarian vizsla, Leo.

Leo was sent for basic obedience training, and has come back and is incredibly well trained. we were taught everything we need to know about how the training has to continue at home so everything isn't forgotten.

we now go for coffees and go to the pub with Leo instead feeling we have to leave Leo at home so our time is less stressful.

id highly recommend using K9 and cannot thank Zach enough for how much he cared for Leo in 3 weeks he was there, never did we stress that Leo wasn't getting looked after well.

so thanks you K9 and especially to Zach.

We honestly couldn’t be happier with the training our 1-year-old Cockapoo, Gus, received from Platinum K9. From start to finish, the experience exceeded all of our expectations.

Before training, we were really struggling with Gus. He was constantly on the go, which meant we always felt like we had to be supervising or entertaining him. Gus, has always been such a loving dog, but his reactive nature was becoming increasingly difficult to manage. Walks felt almost impossible due to reactions to everything around him, and at points it had become unsafe for both Gus and us. Even at home, his interactions with his 11-year-old miniature Yorkshire Terrier sister were obsessive and overwhelming, which made day-to-day life quite stressful.

A huge thank you to Jed, who was Gus’ main trainer, and Connor for the incredible work they both put in. Their knowledge, patience, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process, and the results speak for themselves. We were in constant communication about his progress which reassured us on Gus’ wellbeing throughout.

The handover was incredibly thorough, giving us the confidence and understanding we needed to continue Gus’ training at home. Every question was answered, everything was demonstrated clearly, and we never felt rushed. It was obvious they genuinely cared about setting both Gus and us up for long-term success.

Since he’s been home, Gus has absolutely thrived. Walks are so much more enjoyable, his reactivity is far more manageable, and our home is a much calmer, happier place. It’s genuinely transformed our lives and made everyday life with Gus so much more enjoyable. Our relationship with Gus has improved massively, and for the first time in a year we genuinely feel like we can give him—and ourselves—the life we all deserve. He’s still the same loving, playful boy we adore, but now we have the tools and confidence to bring out the very best in him.

The training has genuinely transformed our lives, and we can’t thank the team at Platinum K9 enough. If you’re considering professional training for your dog, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Platinum K9. Thank you again to Jed, Connor, and the whole team for sharing your time, experience & knowledge to help Gus become the happy, well-balanced dog we always knew he could be.

We enrolled our dog Moose (a 18months old Working Cocker Spaniel x Working Golden Retriever) with Platinum K9 for help with his recall and general obedience. Moose has always been a happy, friendly and loveable boy, but he was incredibly excitable and struggled to control his impulses, especially when other dogs were around. His recall was getting progressively more unreliable since teenager era hit, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the outdoor activities we love.

Under the guidance of Imogen, Moose completed a 5-week programme covering lead walking, home obedience, recall training and even pub dog work. Throughout his stay, we received regular updates every 1–2 days, alongside the weekly progress reports, which gave us real confidence that he was being well looked after and making great progress.

When Moose came home, he was still his happy and enthusiastic self—which is exactly what we wanted—but with so much more focus and self-control. His lead walking has improved hugely, his obedience is fantastic, and his recall has come on massively. The difference has been life-changing for us, as we can now get back to enjoying all the hiking, cycling and paddleboarding adventures we love with him, knowing we have much better control and confidence in him.

It was clear throughout that Moose was genuinely cared for and enjoyed his time there. In fact, we think he misses Imogen!

We’ll definitely be using Platinum K9's boarding kennels for future holidays and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for professional, caring and effective dog training.

Thank you Imogen and the whole Platinum K9 team for giving us back an amazing boy and helping Moose reach his full potential! 🐾❤️
