Specialist Dog Training Services UK
Real-world training for reactivity, aggression, obedience, recall and dogs that need more than basic classes.
Precision K9 works with owners who need practical change in everyday life — whether that means calmer walks, better communication, advanced obedience, behavioural modification or dependable control around serious distractions. Training is tailored to the individual dog rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all system.
Real-world dog training
The goal is not a dog that only works in a training field.
Training should hold up where you actually live your life. That means building communication, motivation, structure and control before progressively testing those skills around the environments, dogs, people and distractions that matter to you.
- Individual plans: training is adapted to temperament, drive, behaviour and lifestyle.
- Behaviour and obedience: we address the emotional or behavioural problem as well as the practical control needed around it.
- Owner coaching: you need to understand the system, not simply watch somebody else train your dog.
- Real-world proofing: skills are progressively tested outside the easiest environment.
- Clear recommendations: if your dog needs a more intensive route, I will tell you rather than stretching unsuitable weekly sessions out indefinitely.

Serious behaviour usually needs serious input.
If your dog is aggressive, highly reactive, unsafe around other dogs, chronically over-aroused or has already failed lighter-touch training, the most effective route may be an intensive programme rather than trying to fix a complex problem one hour at a time.
Specialist programmes
When ordinary lessons are not enough.
These are the routes for owners who need a deeper level of training, more repetition and more professional input.
Full immersion
Residential & Day Board & Train
Intensive training for complex behaviour, reactivity, advanced obedience and dogs that need daily consistency rather than occasional sessions.
Off-lead freedom
Dog Recall & E-Collar Training
Specialist recall training for dogs that ignore recall, bolt, chase wildlife or livestock, or become unreliable once instinct takes over.
Not sure where to start?
Match the training to the problem.
Obedience, focus or everyday control
Start with private coaching or a structured multi-session package.
Fear, frustration or aggression
Choose specialist reactivity coaching, home-based behavioural work or intensive training depending on severity.
Running off, prey drive or poor recall
Use the specialist recall route where off-lead reliability is the primary problem.
Serious or entrenched behaviour
Residential or Board & Train may provide the repetition and consistency the dog needs.

Frequently asked questions
Which dog training service is right for you?
Can you help with reactive or aggressive dogs?
Yes. Precision K9 works with dogs displaying fear-based reactivity, frustration, over-excitement, dog-directed aggression and more complex behavioural issues. The recommended service depends on severity, history and the level of professional input required.
Do I need Residential Training?
Not every dog needs residential work. It is most useful when behaviour is serious, entrenched or requires more repetition and professional consistency than occasional sessions can realistically provide.
Do you work with clients outside Gloucestershire?
Yes. Clients travel to Precision K9 from South Wales, the South West, the Midlands and further afield across the UK. Virtual coaching is also available for owners who cannot attend in person.
Can you help if my dog has poor recall or chases wildlife?
Yes. Precision K9 has a dedicated dog recall and e-collar training programme for dogs that ignore recall, run away, chase deer, wildlife or livestock, or become unreliable around high-value distractions.
Do you only work with working breeds?
No. Precision K9 works with all breeds and temperaments. Experience with high-drive and working dogs is particularly useful where motivation, arousal, prey drive or control are significant factors.
