K9 Edinburgh

★★★★★

“After working extensively with K9 Edinburgh, I can confidently say I couldn’t recommend their professional dog training services in Edinburgh highly enough. I have a Belgian Malinois, and when we started training he was around 8 months old — highly reactive to both dogs and people, intense, and extremely challenging to handle in public. Anyone with experience of working breeds or reactive dogs will understand how critical it is to find a trainer who genuinely understands behaviour, not just obedience. From the very first session, Marco at K9 Edinburgh demonstrated calm, confident leadership and a deep understanding of canine behaviour. Despite my dog’s reactivity and poor manners at the time, he had him settled, focused, and under control within minutes — no force, no drama, just correct handling and structure. The improvement was noticeable from day one, particularly during agility and structured training, and continued to build consistently over time. What really stands out is how this work translated into real life. By Christmas, we were able to walk calmly through Princes Street and the Christmas Market, something that would have been completely unthinkable before training began. Just as importantly, the process reinforced a hard truth many owners eventually face: the issue is often the owners, K9 Edinburgh didn’t just train my dog — they continue to train me. Marco has always been available for advice, happy to take calls, and generous with his time and knowledge. For the level of expertise, support, and results delivered, the service represents excellent value for money. If you’re looking for an experienced dog trainer in Edinburgh, particularly for reactive dogs, high-drive breeds, or behavioural issues, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend K9 Edinburgh. The results speak for themselves, and both my dog and I are far better for the experience. We’re very much looking forward to continuing our training journey.”

“I’m honestly amazed by the progress already. It’s only my Chow Chow Teddy’s 3rd day, and he’s walking closely beside me on the lead and completing the agility obstacle course confidently. Just last week he was pulling constantly and wouldn’t listen at all, so this level of change in such a short time is incredible. The trainer clearly understands how to work with Chow Chows, which aren’t the easiest breed, and the difference in Teddy’s focus and behaviour is huge already. You can see it’s not just random, It’s structured, calm, and effective training. I highly recommend to anyone who wants real results and a better relationship with their dog. I’m excited to see how much further Teddy will progress.”
