ABOUT K9 KURIOSITY

Who I Am

I’m Calem, a professional dog trainer and I used to be right where you are. When my dog was reactive, I felt completely stuck and overwhelmed. I didn’t know how to manage her behaviour and everything I tried seemed to make no difference. I felt frustrated, hopeless, and close to giving up because I couldn’t provide her the life she needed. I was so desperate for guidance that I had to drive 4 hours each time just to get the support that finally worked. That experience inspired me to become the trainer I wish I had in my local area.

​

What I Do

I help dogs and their owners reclaim their freedom. By the end of our work together, dogs are calmer and more confident, and owners feel the weight lifted off their shoulders. Walks that used to be stressful or full of tension become enjoyable, predictable, and even fun. You’ll feel relief, confidence, and pride as your dog makes better choices, and you finally experience the peace of being in control without constant worry. Life with your dog becomes calmer, more relaxed, and far more enjoyable for both of you.

​

Who I Help

I work with dog owners who have tried other trainers or methods without seeing the results they hoped for. Quite often, I’m not their first trainer but I am their last. I give owners the tools, guidance, and support they need to see lasting change and feel in control of their dog’s behaviour.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT K9 KURIOSITY?

PXL_20250927_000629005.PORTRAIT.jpg

We have a 5 year old Samoyed named Meeko who has always been a challenge on walks. He’s reactive — every time he sees another dog, he immediately pulls hard on the lead and starts barking... Walks became stressful and discouraging, and I reached a point where I genuinely dreaded taking him out. I felt completely defeated.

That’s when I reached out to Calem at K9 Kuriousity and I can honestly say it was the best decision I’ve ever made for Meeko and myself.

Calem came to us for a consultation and by the end of that very first session, Meeko was walking calmly by my side. No pulling, no lunging... I couldn’t believe the transformation.

Since that day, we’ve walked Meeko every single day following the techniques Calem showed us, and the difference is unbelievable. Meeko has improved 110 percent, and for the first time in years, I’m actually enjoying our walks again.

What really sets Calem apart is his personalised approach. At first, he recommended three sessions, but after the initial consult, he told us that if we stick to the guidelines, he felt confident we could handle the training ourselves. That kind of honesty showed me that Calem truly cares about the dogs and their owners. He’s not just in it for the money but genuinely wants the best outcome for everyone he works with.

If you’re struggling with your dog, don’t wait. Reach out to Calem.

My German Shepherd, Clara, is incredibly loyal and rarely leaves my side, except when Calem Dunphy from K9 Kuriosity comes to take her on one of his bush walk adventures. The moment she sees him, she lights up with excitement and runs to the door, tail wagging.
Calem doesn’t just walk Clara, he actively trains her during their outings and reinforces positive behaviour along the way. I’ve noticed a real improvement in her focus, obedience, and confidence since she started walking with him.
He’s also incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions I have about her behaviour, habits, or training needs. His advice is thoughtful, practical, and clearly based on deep experience with dogs.
Clara absolutely adores Calem, and I have complete trust in the care, professionalism, and genuine passion he brings to what he does. K9 Kuriosity has been an invaluable part of Clara’s life, and mine.
