Who We Are

About Us

Rochelle working with her dog using PRAMA training methods at Kahu K9 Training, building trust and obedience through positive reinforcement.
The Journey

About Rochelle

My journey into dog training began with two very different dogs: Skye, a stubborn husky cross who was my greatest teacher, and Pugzly, my rescue pug. They taught me that no two dogs are the same, and training is never one-size-fits-all. This passion led me to leave my corporate job to help others navigate their own unique dog training challenges with patience, experience, and care.

Areas We Cover

I provide dog training and behaviour support across Merton, Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village, Raynes Park, Colliers Wood, Morden and the wider Merton area.
If you’re based a little further out, don’t worry, I’m happy to travel beyond these areas upon request (a small additional travel fee may apply).
Not sure if I cover your location? Get in touch, and we’ll work out the best way to support you and your dog.

KAHU K9 isn’t just dog training, it’s proper education for owners. Rochelle explains the why behind everything, which made it click for me instantly. My dog is calmer, more focused, and we actually enjoy walks now. I wish I’d found her sooner.

Rochelle has a deep knowledge of dog behaviour and a calm, confident way of guiding both dogs and owners. Her sessions are practical, clear and tailored to your specific situation. The follow up support is just as valuable as the session itself. She genuinely cares and stays involved to make sure you’re progressing. If you’re serious about understanding your dog and creating real change, Rochelle is the one to call.

We have had an amazing experience training our puppy Teddy with Rochelle. Teddy is a large breed and we needed to address some behavioural issues that were causing our family stress. Rochelle came over three private sessions and the difference is remarkable. Teddy is now the best behaved dog we could have hoped for. Rochelle’s training techniques are doable for the whole family and have made having a dog an absolute pleasure.

Amazing experience with Rochelle and the Kahu team. We booked our 4 month old Mini Schnauzer Reggie in to the class as he has been struggling with reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, pigeons, leaves, just about everything. Since starting the puppy classes he is able to sit quite happily in a room with 5 other puppies. the transformation is amazing. Would highly recommend.

We booked our 7 month border terrier into the KAHU K9 training classes to work on recall and they’ve been absolutely fantastic. They’re run by Rochelle, Suzana, and Tracy in a relaxed hall and quite a lot of fun. Krebs (our terrier) is doing fantastically well, and it’s really nice seeing all the dogs in the group improve week by week. Very reasonably priced for the overall experience and they are really good at focussing on each dog individually so doesn’t matter if you’re more or less advanced. Would really recommend!

Rochelle loves dogs which is why she’s such a fantastic trainer! I rescued a 6mth old XL Bully X Cane Corso just before the ban, who had hardly ever been walked & had no training whatsoever. I now have a well trained & well behaved dog thanks to Rochelle’s patience training me as well as my dog. We are now working on my frenchie! I would highly recommend Rochelle!!

I cannot recommend Rochelle highly enough. My little jack Russell was really struggling with separation anxiety, and it was heartbreaking to see how distressed she became whenever we had to leave the house. From our very first session, it was clear we were working with someone who truly understands dogs, their emotions, and their individual personalities. The approach was calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Everything was explained clearly, and the training plan was tailored specifically to our Jack Russell’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. We were given practical, realistic techniques that were easy to follow and actually worked in everyday life. Rochelle clearly has the passion towards wanting the best possible solution for ones dog and pawrents. 12/10
