Training Dogs to a Higher Standard

At VIPK9, my focus is simple: developing balanced, capable, and confident dogs using unique, modern training techniques built on clear communication, structure, and understanding.

I’m Angie, your coach and owner of VIPK9, I have experience in the supply, development, and training of working dogs for police, prison, and search roles, as well as the careful supply of family protection dogs suited to real homes. This real-world experience along with my previous role in Police Special Operations, shapes everything I do — from operational work to helping pet and sport dog owners build stronger relationships and reliable everyday behaviour.

Every dog is an individual, and every handler–dog team deserves an approach that fits them. I use a modern, well-structured training system, adapting it to suit each dog so learning is clear, effective, and confidence-building.

With a background in police special operations, I bring professionalism under pressure and practical communication handlers can apply. My goal is always the same: dogs that work confidently, handlers who feel in control, and teams that succeed — at home, on the field, or in operational environments.

At VIPK9, training is honest, practical, and purpose-driven — designed to develop dogs that think clearly, work reliably, and integrate seamlessly into their role or family.
