South African Dog Behaviourists Jarred & Laiken Hodgson Announce Expansion of HDDT K9 Services, Bringing Premium Online Dog Training to Rural Families Nationwide.
HDDT K9 Services, founded by renowned dog behaviour specialists Jarred and Laiken Hodgson, has officially expanded its premium training platform to offer online dog training, virtual behaviour consultations, and remote coaching programs for South African families seeking calm, obedient, and reliable dogs—no matter where they live, bring access to anyone anywhere.
For years, HDDT K9 Services has been recognised for transforming high-drive working breeds, and family companions across rural South Africa. With busy families and farm owners increasingly seeking reliable and convenient training solutions, Jarred and Laiken have launched a nationwide online dog training hub through www.hddtk9services.co.za.
This expansion makes professional dog training accessible to clients living on farms, smallholdings, and remote properties where qualified trainers are scarce.
“Our passion has always been to help families enjoy calmer, safer, and more reliable dogs, regardless of location, schedule, or lifestyle. Online dog training allows us to serve the families who need it most—people who want solutions, not more overwhelm,” says founder Jarred Hodgson.
A New Standard for Online Dog Training in South Africa
The newly launched digital platform includes:
- Online dog training courses designed for working families and farmers
- Remote obedience and behaviour modification programs for reactivity, anxiety, and obedience issues
- Step-by-step video guidance, weekly task lists, and personalised coaching
- Exclusive WhatsApp-based training groups for live feedback and support
Each program is built around real-world challenges faced by rural dog owners, including livestock chasing, poor recall, leash pulling, over-arousal, nuisance barking, and consistency problems in busy households.
Meeting the Needs of South Africa’s Rural Dog Owners
The Hodgsons built HDDT K9 Services with a clear mission: to give families the confidence and freedom to enjoy life with their dogs—whether around livestock, at the coffee shop, on the school run, or out on the farm.
Their ideal client is the hardworking households who want a dog they can trust: calm around guests, safe around livestock, and reliable in public.
HDDT K9 Services delivers solutions that are practical, structured, and proven, offering premium-level guidance through accessible online dog training tools.
A Trusted Name in Canine Behaviour
Jarred and Laiken’s training approach blends behavioural science, practical experience, and real-life application—earned through years of hands-on work with working dogs, personal protection dogs, gundogs, and complex behavioural cases.
Their expansion into online dog training allows them to reach households across South Africa, including clients who previously lacked access to credible trainers in their region.
