Professional Dog + Puppy Training in Harlow, Essex & Hertfordshire

Built by Dogs. Tailored to You.

Inspired by the dogs who teach us every day, ASCENDK9 provides personalised dog training in Harlow, Essex and surrounding areas, helping owners build a stronger relationship with their dogs and achieve reliable, real-world results.

From puppy training and obedience to behaviour support, group classes, and structured Walk + Train services, we’ve helped over 100 dogs and their owners across Essex and Hertfordshire enjoy calmer walks, clearer communication, and a more connected life together.

START TRAINING

At ASCENDK9, we believe dog training should go beyond commands - it’s about building focus, confidence, and a relationship that works in the real world.

Our approach is designed for everyday life - whether that’s recalling your dog at the park, walking calmly through busy streets, or helping a reactive dog feel more confident. Every session is tailored to your dog’s individual needs, making sure both ends of the lead feel understood, supported, and set up for success.

Founded by trainer Becky, ASCENDK9 was built with one goal: to create a supportive space where owners can learn, grow, and feel proud of their progress. We’re passionate about helping you strengthen your bond, enjoy your walks again, and build the kind of partnership every dog and owner deserves.

My Favourite Places to Practice Dog Training in the Lea Valley (And Why Recall Matters More Than Ever)

The Lea Valley offers some of the best dog walks in Essex - but it’s also a powerful training environment filled with real-world distractions. From busy paths and wildlife to dog-friendly cafes, it’s the perfect place to practice recall, calm behaviour, and responsible dog ownership. In this blog, I share my favourite Lea Valley training spots, why bullet-proof recall is essential before allowing off-lead freedom, and how to use these environments to build confident, reliable dogs.
