Been a good few months since bagheera was on a 4 week residential programme at platinum k9 and hands down one of the best decisions I made. Bagheera is my baby he is a cane corso x American bully however he has two sides to him one being a loving soppy dog the other being a nutter who there would be no reasoning with at times. In the home he had became the king, its a big household and he started to bully and dominate my other dogs and family members, we couldn't have anyone new round to the house just a complete menace who has nipped out at us in certain situations. On walks he used to be a dream however by the time he was a year old he had been attacked twice, by smaller dogs mind you which then left him very reactive, to the point I would have to drive to fields where nobody would be. Then finding out I was pregnant I needed to either get bagheera sorted or find bagheera a new home. Thankfully I found platinum k9 as bagheera has made huge changes for the better as I have I, by having the dog 24/7 they can start from scratch get rid of learnt behaviour and put your dog in situations your not able to in a controlled manner. The handover was excellent they give you in depth training taking you out showing you first hand what to do on your walks and also in house training answering any questions getting you prepared for when you go home, whats also nice and reassuring is how much affection bagheeras trainers would show him they truely do take care of your dog on all levels. The aftercare is brilliant aswell as they explain its not magic you have to keep on top of this training to see the results dogs are smart don't be fooled. I had a few mishaps with bagheera when we got home and platinum decided it was best to come to my home (2 hours away) and help fix the problem and when I was struggling with walking him they were more than happy to let me come back up and get us back on track. Since then fingers crossed its been going brilliant. Huge thanks to everyone on the team you all do an amazing job especially to bagheeras trainer Alex done a brilliant job with him!!! 👏

The guys at Platinum K9 were A1 such professionalism knowledge and understanding on what our dog daisy needed to correct her resource guarding, they kept us updated throughout her stay and it seemed like she didn’t want to leave by the end of it. You can really see they love what they do and for that get the results. I would just like to say Thankyou to the team for what you have done for daisy and to give us the right knowledge and tools to keep this good behaviour going! 🙂

I can’t thank Platinum K9 enough for the work they did with my 2 year old Rottweiler Rocco. Before his training Rocco was reactive to other dogs and people on walks and was extremely uncomfortable with people being in our home due to his anxious nature. Since having been to Platinum Rocco walks beautifully on the lead and is more than happy to walk past people and dogs with no reaction! We’re also now more relaxed when people come into our home as he’s sticking to his training and staying put on his bed where he’s much happier! It was clear to us that Rocco was looked after like the trainers own when we picked him up, he loved them all and smelt amazing! Thank you so much Platinum K9 you’ve really made owning Rocco a pleasure again!

I cannot recommend the team enough, especially Alex who took on Cuba for 4 weeks residential. He was a very reactive, unpredictable Bull Terrier with both humans and dogs. To say he is a different dog is an understatement 😀 Cuba is now a happy, relaxed dog, loves his fuss and is always wagging his tail. We were at a point where we didn’t know what to do with him as we couldn’t relax around him in case he bit anyone, no one wanted to come to the house as they were scared of him. Cuba now knows how to relax , takes himself off to his bed when anyone comes round and life is a lot more peaceful and happier. We now understand all the triggers and we are still keeping everything that we learnt in place and it works 😀 thank you all so much .

quite simply amazing! myself and my partner Hollie were very worried of our beloved barney and feared he may never get over his reactivity to dogs and resource guarding issues. From start to finish we were over the moon with the progress he had made, and the updates we received especially over the Christmas period. Barney has progressed so well at home and we are able to take him on big walks with hardly any issues at all and responds unbelievably well with the resource guarding. This is all down to the non harmful training methods and thorough handover when we got him back. what I find unbelievable is that they haven't changed barney's personallity, but have managed to show us how to control all aspects of his behaviour. I can't stress enough how much these 4 weeks have changed for the better so thank you so much to all the team and can't recommend highly enough!!!

Cannot recommend highly enough! You may think a small dog can’t have real aggression issues and that we exaggerate. Then there was our Vinnie! Food guarding became apparent not long after adopting him. Followed by extreme aggression to family dogs and then escalated to attacking family members too. We were at the end of our tether and it was dominating our lives. We couldn’t easily have visitors at home and had tried everything. Trainers. Behaviourists - and it only got worse. We love him to bits but had to do something and we thankfully found Platinum K9 The Platinum team were totally different and after 4 weeks the progress was incredible. Vinnie wasn’t reacting to other dogs. Walks were stress free. He’s loving people’s company - but above all they gave us back our confidence with him and helped us be back in control. We know it’s not a quick fix and aggression may never truly go away but he is back home, loving meeting people and his wonderful personality is shining through. When we had an issue with him and other family dogs and messaged them, they responded with advice and reassurance within minutes. A heart felt thanks to all of the Platinum team - but especially Kyran and Alex

Can’t thank you enough for looking after Otto for the month - all the hard work you put in training him is visible; no more pulling - he’s now walking happily at heel. He’s happy and content to be on his bed when in the house and he’s more attentive whilst walking around the streets.

We are so happy that we sent our 1 year old Pomsky to Platinum K9. He is now able to hang out with us more as a family, he no longer pulls us like a sledge on walks and we can finally sleep through the night! Thank you so much to the team at Platinum K9, all of this wouldn’t have been possible without you!

Stunning Results for Reggie, k9 were the last chance for my border Collie Reggie, he is a lovely dog but was awful when it came to his aggression and behaviour around the house, He would resource guard food and attack the family for no apparant reasons, It became that bad that residential behaviour training was the last resort for him to stay with us, After the first contact with Jon I had the upmost confidence that K9 could fix Reggie, We agreed to a two week residential course that Reggie attended in November 2022, Upon our arrival we were very impressed with the site, it was a very professional setup and it was very clear that the staff were real dog lovers, this put me at ease to leave my dog with them, K9 set up a Watsapp group and sent regular videos and updates on Reggies progress, it was immediately evident that Reggie was responding well to the training and looked happy and bonding with the staff, The overall communication was outstanding from K9 throughout the training programme When we picked Reggie up the handover process was amazing Jon and Ben went through every eventuality with us and advised that the Watsapp group will remain open for us if we have any questions or concerns, Since returning home Reggie has been a much more happy and settled dog, he truely is a new dog, I can't thank Jon and the Team at K9 enough they have without doubt turned Reggies life around for the better, Keep up the brilliant work guys thank you so much for everything you have done for my best mate, Glen Jones
