Operational background

What people say
Trusted by owners and the industry.
“We can now take him out and walk him in different environments without the stress and worry we used to have.”
We can’t thank Tudor enough for all his help with our dog, Blaze. Before working with Tudor, walking Blaze was becoming really stressful. He would pull on the lead and get extremely excited when he saw people, other dogs or even things going on around him, which meant walks weren’t enjoyable for us.
With Tudor’s guidance, patience and training, Blaze has come such a long way. We’re able to enjoy our walks together, and Blaze is much calmer and more focused.
Tudor has made such a positive difference to both Blaze and us. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with their dog. Thank you so much, Tudor!

We were delighted to welcome Tudor to the training team at Woodborough in 2024. He brings more than 13 years of operational handling experience and delivers training and continued development to security dog handlers through Woodborough.
Tudor also delivers training internationally, working with security teams and departments to develop both individual handlers and operational capability, with a focus on achieving recognised standards and accreditation.
He is a driven and accomplished trainer who brings focus, professionalism and results to the people he works with. Our relationship has developed into a strong working partnership, both here at Woodborough and on overseas training projects.

“I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
Tudor at Celtic K9 Services has been an incredible support to both myself and my dog walking and pet sitting business. His knowledge and understanding of canine behaviour has helped me develop a much deeper understanding of the dogs I work with.
Whenever I have faced a situation where I haven’t had the answers, Tudor has always been someone I can turn to and confidently refer my clients to. He continues to help both myself and many of my clients understand canine behaviour and training, helping dogs and their owners work together as a team to achieve fantastic results.

“I would recommend Tudor without hesitation to any organisation requiring professionally selected working dogs.”
We first engaged Tudor two years ago when we were seeking a trusted specialist to source and train working dogs for our 5-star private island resort. Since then, Tudor has been our exclusive supplier of trained K9s, providing patrol and protection dogs, as well as specialist detection dogs.
Tudor has an exceptional understanding of working dogs, canine behaviour, and the qualities required for dogs to perform reliably in demanding operational environments. He takes great care to select dogs with the appropriate temperament, drives, confidence, and physical capability for their intended role. The dogs he has supplied have consistently been trained to the highest international standards and expertly matched to the needs and abilities of their handlers.
Tudor’s involvement does not end when a dog is delivered. He travels from the UK to our resort twice each year to provide continuation training, assess the performance of our dogs and handlers, and independently audit our wider K9 programme. This provides valuable external assurance that our handling, welfare, record-keeping, and operational practices continue to meet the standards expected of a professional working-dog programme.
I have been entirely comfortable relying on Tudor as an international supplier and bringing him from the UK to support a security-sensitive overseas operation. He has consistently demonstrated professionalism, discretion, and a strong commitment to both operational performance and animal welfare.
I would recommend Tudor without hesitation to any organisation or individual requiring professionally selected working dogs, specialist K9 training, handler development, or independent support and assurance for an established canine programme.

High-drive specialists
Big. Powerful. High drive.
Dogs like these aren’t for everyone, and training them takes an understanding of what you’re dealing with. Powerful, highly driven dogs aren’t something we shy away from. They’re what we specialise in.
From South Wales to protection-dog training in the Bahamas.
How we train
Clear communication
Your dog should always understand what you’re asking, and why it pays to do it.
Practical handling
Skills you can use on a busy street, not just on a training field.
Reliable results
Real dogs, real progress, tested in real places.
