Our Story:
Inspired by Earn, Built for You
Callander K9 began with one brilliant, misunderstood collie—Earn. She was reactive, overwhelmed, and doing her best in a world that didn’t quite get her. Just like me.
I built this business from that experience—not just to train dogs, but to create safe, supportive spaces where dogs can play, learn, and just be dogs. Where owners feel seen, not judged. Because until you’ve lived it, you don’t know. And once you do—you need somewhere like this.
From our group playground to real-life training, sports and hobbies, we’re here for the long haul.
For confidence, calm, and connection—one muddy paw at a time.
‘She wasn't a bad dog - she was scared, smart and trying. I realised… So was I! That's when everything changed….

At Callander K9, we blend real-life training with real-life support. It’s not about perfection—it’s about confidence, calm, and connection, for dogs and humans.
Play-Based Progress: We teach through play, not pressure. Every session is about building your bond and giving you tools that work beyond the training field.
It’s all connected: Play, learning, community, and support. You don’t have to do it alone.
Group Playgrounds:
A secure, interactive social space where dogs can play safely, burn energy, and learn to read each other with confidence. Great for building dog-dog skills without overwhelm. We’re always on hand to support and educate owners, our community helps you understand what safe, healthy play really looks like.
Choose from:
Gentle Paws: A quieter session for quieter, small dogs or puppies.
Adventure Paws: For those livelier adolescent dogs who love to run and play.
Exclusive Sessions:
Need space to breathe? Our private sessions give you the whole playground to yourself—no other dogs, no pressure, just calm and connection.
Perfect for reactive dogs, nervous pups, or a peaceful family day out, you’ll have time to play, learn, and explore at your own pace. Bring a picnic, enjoy the view, and let your dog unwind in a space designed for safety and support.
Whether you're building confidence or just want quiet time, this is your safe space.
Training With Heart:
From group sessions to tailored support, we focus on body language, trust, and handling real-world challenges like recall, reactivity, focus and habit forming.
