About Us

What Our Customers Say:

Grace has been incredible with our Swiss Shepherd! We couldn’t ask for a better trainer. Not only commands but a true respect for the breed and the family environment. Our dog has thrived under her training and guidance. Our family has learnt so much about Loki’s needs and wants with Grace always helping us improve his behavior and wellbeing. Highly recommend!!!! Wish we could give a million stars. She has left us with the skills to continue making him the best he can be and we know if we ever need help she is a phone call away.
Renee PassakosMelbourne
The team at Direct K9 are amazing! Their strategies for a young pup worked immediately. I am encouraged by how well Waffle has responded from the information provided and it was a great way for my pup to be introduced to other pups of similar age in a controlled environment. I had Dave come out recently and in as little as half hr my dog responded so well to his commands. I have continued with the training and Waffle has been amazing and doing exactly what I ask! I would highly recommend Direct K9 for all your puppy needs.
MelissaAdelaide
Contacted Direct K9 to help us with our two beautiful dogs that needed more control on their walks and help with barking and jumping, and more understanding for us on how to teach our dogs. After their training with Dave today we came away with two totally different dogs that behaved so well on their walks that we can now continue on to train them ourselves with the knowledge and information that was given to us. Would highly recommend Dave and Direct K9 to any of our friends or anyone out there that needs help with their fur baby/babies. Thank you so much!
DaniAdelaide
Our 13 month cutie had grown big and stubborn. Craig at Direct K9 came along to correct our training approach and re-affirm where we were already on track. Craig tailored his advice to suit our living arrangements (cat and apartment) and lifestyle (crate and no treat training). We are still in the 'honeymoon' phase after the training session (a very well behaved pup!) but we have resources from Craig and access to his ongoing support to maintain momentum and keep us on this path. Thanks again Craig - we have our little pouch of cheese ready to go for the recall 'game'!
Laura WoodMelbourne
Super impressed with K9 training. My two dachshunds listen to us now. We have almost eliminated barking (door bells, birds, other dogs) and set boundaries in the home. Very helpful with a crawling baby. Definitely highly recommended
JasmineAdelaide
Craig was extremely thorough and patient with both ourselves and our 4 year old Bull Arab. We feel so much better educated and supported and have the skills and tools we need to move forward. Not only that but we were so blown away with how quickly we saw results within this initial session, what were once challenging behaviours for us now feel manageable once they’d been explained and corrected. Such a positive overall experience, we can’t thank you enough!
Isabella RalphMelbourne
Craig was brilliant with our 10 week old whippet puppy, Felix. He certainly has a way with dogs and we saw Felix respond and engage straight away. Craig offered really practical advice that was specific to our dog and we’ve walked away learning lots of new skills and tips. Thanks, Craig. Already looking forward to our next training session.
Georgia FolkerMelbourne
We cannot recommend Criag any higher. He has taken such an effective and well thought our approach with training our American staffy, Max. Initially we had lots of problems, Craig has not only trained Max extremely well but has guided and taught us along the way. We're incredibly happy with the results and very thankful to have found Craig.
LanaMelbourne
Friendly,knowledgeable and extremely helpful with especially difficult puppies
Rhys
A respected team with real world experience. Highly recommended.
Thomas BrownAdelaide
Best in the business, very professional and knowledgeable. Would recommend Direct K9 to all our family and friends, not only here in Adelaide but Melbourne too.
LeilaAdelaide
Grace has helped our dog dolly improve a range of behaviours and tricks. We loved her non-judgemental approach to dog training and have recommended her to a number of friends.
