“If you want the dog to stop fighting the leash, stop using the leash to fight the dog.”
Chad Mackin
Welcome to King’s K9 Dog Training, where our extensive knowledge and experience deliver real-life results for people and their dogs at every stage of life and development.
Whether you’ve got a puppy in the middle of their land-shark phase, a clever canine who needs clearer direction, or a dog who’s struggling with reactivity, we’re here to help you find clarity, confidence, and calm together.
Our training isn’t about “fixing” your dog. It’s about understanding what they’re communicating, providing clarity, and supporting lasting behaviour change in a way that works for your lifestyle.
Training dogs throughout Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast and the Golden Plains regions.
▶️Just brought home a new puppy?
We know how overwhelming those early weeks can be — the biting, zoomies, toilet accidents, destructive behaviours and sleepless nights. You’re not alone, and you’re not failing — you just need a little guidance and structure.
- Manage mouthing, jumping, toilet training, and all the other puppy complaints.
- Create management systems to stop unwanted behaviours before they become lifelong habits.
- Support a whole-of-household approach for clarity and consistency.
Let’s set your pup up for long-term success — and help you feel confident every step of the way.
▶️Have the basics down, but need better obedience?
If your dog listens sometimes, but forgets you exist around distractions, then it’s time to move beyond the basics.
- Sharpen their listening skills, obedience, and improve response speed.
- Create a world where obedience works in various settings, such as around other dogs, people, or in exciting environments.
- Strengthen your bond through fun, clear communication.
This is perfect for everyday life and those looking for the ultimate cafe dog or off-leash reliability.
▶️Are leash walks a daily tug-of-war?
If your dog pulls, zigzags, or checks out completely, walks can go from relaxing to stressful in a flash. You deserve better — and so does your dog.
- Stop walks feeling like a battle without nagging, specialised equipment or gimmicks.
- Learning the techniques to create calm, respectful walks where your dog wants to be beside you, not dragging you down the street.
- Train your dog to choose connection over chaos, making walks enjoyable again, even in the face of distractions.
Make walks enjoyable again — for both ends of the leash.
▶️Is your dog’s reactivity making life stressful?
Lunging, barking, freezing, or over-the-top reactions to other dogs or people can feel isolating and exhausting, but you can help your dog feel calmer and more in control.
- Learn how to understand and manage your dog’s stress responses so they feel safer and you feel more at peace on outings.
- Build confidence through structure, clarity, and communication.
- Spend less time struggling and more time enjoying time with your dog.
Let us help you both breathe easier again.
▶️Need help with specific behaviour issues?
From fearfulness to aggression, separation distress to resource guarding, we offer private behavioural consults tailored to your dog’s unique needs — and your unique household.
- From complex behaviours that go beyond basic training.
- Multi-dog dynamics and in-home challenges.
- Dogs who aren’t suited to group classes right now

“In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly dog.”
