About us
We are a professional dog training company covering the whole of Yorkshire, with over 20 years’ experience helping dog owners achieve their goals. Here at Yorkshire K9, we do not believe one size fits all when it comes to working with canines. We take a non-traditional approach to our craft.
Real Life
Dog Training
We address things at source, particularly problems in the home, including resource guarding, jumping up at guests, barking in the home, crate training, threshold training, house boundaries etc.
This gives you more confidence, as we will be training beautiful obedience in the same parks that you walk in daily! This will be around all kinds of unpredictable distractions, just like it is on your dog walks.
Training in unrealistic environments, such as private land, or a facility, creates a false perception of how the training may be going! This is because you’re not going to be in this setting when you leave, and go back to the reality of walking your dog.
In a nutshell, it’s real world training for every dog, with every possible area that needs work. We implement the structure, obedience and leadership needed to make sure you and your canine companions have calm, enjoyable walks EVERY TIME.

Customer Feedback
Lois Storey
Absolutely thrilled with the results from Yorkshire K9! 🐾 Our 1-year-old Labrador pup, Pippa, just completed a week-long residential training course, and we’re over the moon with how much she’s improved. Before the training, walks were a bit of a challenge with her reactivity and recall issues and it was becoming and dog dodging nightmare and looking like the crazy owner with the nutty dog pulling you around. Now? It’s like we’ve got a brand-new dog! The first few walks post-training almost brought me to tears. (happy ones, of course!) Pippa is responsive, walks beautifully on lead, can be off lead even in busy environments and is doing a fantastic job. We can finally enjoy our time together, and it’s been such a relief.

Rex has just returned from 2 weeks ecollar training with K9, spending his time mostly with Martin. Worried sending him away for so long. Didn't need to. He is a powerful dog and we are over 70, needed to be confident on being able to have a obedient dog. Both for our peace of mind, more importantly for Rex to be a happy fun loving dog who enjoyed his life. K9 have done a great job, we highly recommend them. Martin understood what we wanted, Rex has come home still the same boy but more obedient. We have no problem recommending them to anyone. Thank you K9.

Our experience with Yorkshire K9 has been amazing. Our dog, Bruno, became difficult to handle at about 8 months. He was full on and started to become reactive to other dogs which meant he couldn’t go off lead and our walks (and life) were very limited. With the help of Yorkshire K9 we’ve got many issues under control to the point where Bruno can now go off lead with his dog friends. He’s a difficult dog to train but nothing has been too much for Martin and Ruth. He’s a work in progress but Yorkshire K9 have been there every step of the way. Martin and Ruth have both been brilliant and they offer a great personalised service. They’re extremely knowledgeable and care very much about the dogs they work with. They want each dog to live his/her best life. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with them they’re great and worth every penny!
