Just another dog trainer set up in the area, right? Well, you’d be WRONG!
My name is Kevin Motion and I’ve been working professional as a dog trainer in the Scottish Borders for over 10 years, I’ve recently changed name (hopefully for the last time) and you might have know me as either Borders Canine Training or Borders Mantrailing & Scent Training, well let me introduce myself again.
I’m Kevin and I am KMK9, this is my story.
Having owned many rescue dogs in the last 20 years many with behavioural 'issues', I started learning more about why they are like this and more importantly how to help them, this is often how many dog trainers get started and it was the same for me. Once I started to learn more I wanted to help others who were in similar positions as I found myself in, so I started my own business on the side back in 2014, fast forward to 2024…
I've now been working professionally with pet dogs and their owners for over 10 years, including throughout the UK and Internationally. During this time I have been actively involved in Scent sports both teaching or competing with my own dogs!
Having spent over 10 years working hands-on in the rescue field, working in this sector allowed me to gain invaluable practical experience with all different breeds of dogs. Having owned and worked with rescue dogs for over a decade they are still a huge passion of mine and I wouldn't be here without them.
I've run hundreds (if not thousands) of training classes and workshops over the last ten years helping hundreds of owners and their dogs, specialising in dog-on-dog reactivity. Along with all this practical experience I also hold several diplomas in behaviour and training, this theory knowledge backs up the practical experience.
I choose to only use science-based training techniques and reward-based training. This means it is just as much fun for your dog as you!
