About

“Not every dog fits the mould — and that’s exactly why they matter.”

🐶

Callander K9 began with one dog — Earn — and a lot of love. After six years of dog walking and a world turned upside down by COVID, I used a small bounce-back loan to create something bigger: a space built for dogs like Earn, who didn’t fit into traditional classes.

We were once asked to leave a puppy course when she hit her teenage stage. Earn started out as a reactive collie — full of noise and nerves — but with time, patience, and play, she became a demo dog, a calming influence, and even helped support boarding dogs.

She taught me more than any course ever could. This park was built in her honour — for every dog and owner who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong.

What Sets Us Apart?

We’re not your average dog business. Everything we do is neurodivergent-friendly, using clear, calm, step-by-step support that works for real life — not perfection.

We include -

Step by step guides suitable for all learning styles

Various E-Book series

Time to learn and understand safe dog play and dog body language, encouraging play sessions at the end of each session

Inspired By Earn

Earn started out as a reactive collie — nervous, noisy, unsure of the world. But with time, play, and understanding, she became a demo dog, a gentle guide, and a source of calm for dogs who needed extra support.

Her journey reminds us that behaviour is communication — and that real change comes from connection, not control.

At Callander K9, everything we do is shaped by what Earn taught us: that every dog deserves a chance to shine, and every human deserves support that’s kind, practical, and long-lasting.
