“I have had the opportunity to train under the guidance of Gary Jackson as a handler for a number of years now. The training that I have undertaken has provided me with an extensive knowledge in obedience, animal behaviour and problem solving which has benefited me immensely especially in the field as an Animal Management Officer. I have been able to pass my experiences on to others in this field and the broader animal behaviour / training industry. I have also attended Mr Jackson’s training seminars and was able to facilitate Gary to provide in-house training to other Animal Control Officers in Local Government which has proved very educational in assisting officers in handling and recognising dangerous and/or aggressive dogs. Gary Jackson has extensive qualifications and is highly regarded in the canine industry. I find Gary to be professional in his teaching and understanding of animal training techniques. I have been privileged to observe Gary during his detection work and one that comes to mind is his incredible work with “Chance”, Gary’s Cancer detecting dog. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Gary Jackson and his training programs within this industry. I would be happy to act on his behalf as a referee, both personally and professionally.”

“Gary was recommended by friends who had a German Shepherd. My late Alaskan Malamute Montana had his one week obedience training at MNK9 when he was around 6 months old. Was such a special moment to view the results of all the hard work. Montana was a great companion with no major issues to nut out but anyone who has a Malamute knows they are a stubborn breed and establishing Alpha is essential for a lifetime of enjoyment with your dog. Montana learnt all the basic training and for the next 12 years of his life had ‘tune ups’ with Gary whenever I had to go away. Special times. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else for training. Montana loved Gary. Can’t thank him enough.”

“Gary had Belladonna, our English Staffy for a week as she was digging and chewing on our house. We treat her like a child and thought we would be torn a new one. But Gary taught us she suffered separation anxiety, and told us a few simple things we had to do (and we didn’t get torn a new one!). The changes made perfect sense and were not hard to follow or keep up. This was 3 years ago and Bella has not gone back to her old tricks. I’ve recommended Gary to a lot of dog owners and would like to send our 10 mth old pup Marley to him. I hope we have the opportunity to do so and cannot recommend Gary’s services enough. Thank you Gary :)”

“Thank you Gary, you did great work with our standard poodles a few years ago who were a bit wayward in the manners department. The online program will be great as we now live in southern NSW and I have been a bit lax in the follow up department :)”
