A1K9's Speciality
Family & Personal Protection Dogs Supplied & Trained by A1K9
As the longest-established supplier of personal and family protection dogs in the UK, it is perhaps unsurprising that we have many high-profile clients.
We provide top quality, health tested dogs and whilst the majority are German Shepherds, Malinois and other breeds known for this work, we have also successfully trained some less typical breeds, such as Labradors, to protect their families.
We don’t have a ‘typical client’, other than they all seek to improve their family’s safety and security.
Our dogs serve two roles; pet and protector. Our training prepares the dogs for everyday life as well as the day none of us want to see, the day when criminality or violence visits our life. Our highly trained dogs will confidently counter any threat, enabling our clients to remain safe whilst they summon assistance.
Acquiring a personal protection dog is a big decision and when you visit us we will be able to make an informed decision, identifying the right dog for you, your family and your needs.

Training Courses at A1K9
Residential Obedience Training
A1K9’s residential dog obedience training programme is designed so customers can entrust their dog to us for a period of 4 to 5 weeks, during which time, we will train their dog to a high standard of both on and off-lead obedience. Irrespective of the breed, we achieve consistently good results; the only requirement is that your dog must be at least 10 months of age to be enrolled.
A1K9 Security Dogs and Handler Training
As an accredited training centre with the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers and National Training Inspectorate for Professional Dog Users, A1K9 offer security dog and handler training courses for those working within the commercial security sector. We occasionally offer trained dogs that may be suitable as commercial security dogs or guard dogs for use within the security industry.
Our accredited instructors are able to tutor both dogs and handlers in preparation for the examination and are fully conversant with the current legislative requirements governing the use of dogs within the commercial security sector. As a B.I.P.DT accredited training centre, we are able to provide accreditation for security dog and handler teams that have reached the required standard.
Group Obedience Classes
For those local to our facilities, just outside of Swansea, we also offer a vast array of group dog training classes, from puppy classes right up to Platinum level (an advanced level of obedience). These classes are very popular and enable people to come to our facilities to train and learn with their dogs, we teach owners how to effectively communicate with and train their dogs alongside our experienced trainers, typically a fun experience for both dogs and owners.
