Wer Und Wulf is not another German Shepherd association.
It is a fellowship of Keepers — united by loyalty to the breed, respect for its heritage, and belief in the bond between shepherd and handler.
We honour the living.
We remember the fallen.
We preserve the legacy.

K9 International Training Academy

22/04/2026

At the heart of the Wirral, Great Britain, K9 International’s Training Academy—based at The Seven Stars Sanctuary—offers a unique and life-changing opportunity for military veterans through its fully funded Canine Management Courses.

Designed specifically for those who have served, these programmes provide hands-on experience working with a dedicated pack of highly trained therapy and protection German Shepherds. Veterans don’t just attend—they become part of a supportive, purpose-driven environment where teamwork, trust, and personal development are at the core.

The academy delivers a structured pathway to recognised certification and qualifications across a wide range of canine welfare and management disciplines. Drawing inspiration from the standards of the Royal Veterinary Corps’ military dog handling programmes, course modules include:

* Canine welfare and first aid
* Nutrition and grooming
* Kennelling and exercise routines
* Equipment use and safe handling
* Obedience and behavioural training
* Relaxation and therapeutic interaction
* Tracking, walking, and protection work
* Safe transportation and operational care

Each course is tailored to the individual, making it especially beneficial for veterans living with PTSD, those seeking to rebuild confidence and routine, or anyone looking to develop new skills and a deeper connection with dogs.

More than just training, this is a pathway to renewed purpose, wellbeing, and community.

Led by Master K9 Trainer Brian McKinney, and supported by a network of respected organisations—including K9 International UK, the British Therapy K9 Association, and British K9 Warriors—the academy stands as a testament to the power of rehabilitation through canine partnership.

Empowering veterans. Transforming lives. Building futures—together with K9s. 🇬🇧
