90% of our clients came to us after being failed by multiple trainers. No ideological nonsense. No empty promises. Just real results, guaranteed from your very first session.
Type any behaviour problem into Google and you'll get the same answer: reward your way out of it. For some dogs, some of the time, that works. But there are dogs where the genetics, the drive, the self-preservation instinct means you cannot bribe your way through it. Those are the dogs that end up with us. Danny Wells has been training dogs for over 15 years. He's supplied working dogs to the police and prison service. He appeared on Channel 4's Death Row Dogs: Save My XL Bully, bringing his expertise on the breed to a national audience. He co-authored What Your Dog Is Thinking with neuroscientist Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, called 'Truly eye-opening' by The Times. He's trained dogs whose owners had spent thousands trying other routes and got nowhere. Real results from session one, or your money back.
The guarantee exists because 90% of Unleashed K9's clients had already been failed, and spent good money doing it. The only exception: if your dog is extremely fearful and working them immediately would set them back, you'll get homework and a free follow-up session instead. Either way, you leave with a path forward and a result. No caveats. No small print.
Before anything else, we need to see your dog as they actually are, not how you describe them on a form. We assess temperament, what's driving the behaviour, what you've tried, and what's made it worse. Most owners are unknowingly reinforcing the problem. By the end of the session, you'll have a training plan, your trainer's number, and you'll have already seen an improvement. That's not a promise. That's our guarantee.

One trainer. One dog. One goal. Every session is built around your dog's specific learning style, because dogs learn differently, just like people. Some are food-motivated, some want play, some just respond to a handler who knows what they're doing. We figure out what drives your dog and use it. No generic six-week programme. Just sessions that move you forward every single time.

Reactivity is the most common reason people end up at Unleashed K9, usually after months or years of doing the same thing: get far enough away from the trigger, reward the calm. It works at a distance. But the threshold, the point where your dog stops caring about food and starts reacting, never moves. That's not your fault. That's a method that doesn't address the underlying drive. We do things differently.

Behaviour modification is what's needed when standard training isn't enough. When the issue isn't 'my dog doesn't know the command', it's 'my dog has a pattern so ingrained that nothing shifts it.' These cases need a protocol, not a programme. Danny has rehabilitated dogs that other trainers have labelled dangerous, unworkable, or beyond help. If you've been told your dog can't be fixed, we'd like to disagree.

Danny has supplied trained protection dogs to private clients, security professionals, and law enforcement, including the police and prison service. This isn't bite sport. This is real-world protection training that produces a dog that is calm, sociable, and completely reliable, until the moment it isn't. Not every dog is suitable and we'll tell you honestly after the assessment.

Training in a controlled environment is one thing. The real world is another. Pack walks are where everything your dog has learned gets tested against genuine distractions: other dogs, traffic, strangers, unpredictable environments. This is the proof of work. The point where the training either holds or it doesn't. For most dogs that come through our programme, it holds.

Once you've completed your initial assessment and you're in the programme, you can join us for our group classes, the most affordable way to socialise your dog, reinforce training around real distractions, and connect with other owners on the same journey.

"We went through 9 months of real pain before finding Danny & Unleashed K9... In just 90 minutes Danny turned our world the right way back up. Danny's methods are simple and easy to follow and offer profound changes to dog's behaviours. We have two Belgian Malinois X German Shepherd, with which you need careful care. Through the consulting provided we're able to quash reactivity and regain proper control. We couldn't be happier."
"Danny Wells is the real deal dog trainer, has studied and more importantly has proved himself by winning the Lorrockmoor trials two years running. He uses his own dogs in class to fully demonstrate his teachings and all the dogs training with him are making massive progress."
"I have a different dog after just 5 sessions with Connor. Walks with Luna were a nightmare, I was in constant fear she was going to bite someone, she was reactive to people, dogs and bikes. I tried various positive reinforcement classes and nothing worked. Luna now walks in a perfect heel and is completely unphased by the world around her."
"Just wanted to give a massive thanks to Danny and especially Connor, they went above and beyond from start to finish. I'm not sure we would ever have another dog but if we do I'd happily drive the 50-mile round trip to make sure we get the right training."
Real transformations from real owners. No scripts, no setups. Just honest feedback.
