Hi, I’m
Chris.
I work with dogs.
I make things by hand.
I’ve taken the long way here.
Australian entrepreneur and dog trainer. Founder of PK9 Gear and Positive K9 Training.
A bit about me
Two businesses.
One pair of hands.
Training dogs came first. Making the equipment I wanted to use followed.
The story behind the work
This one meant
a lot to me.
Long before I made a collar for Jelly Roll’s dog, his music was helping me through a very difficult part of my life.
Meeting him in 2025 was a full-circle moment. There’s a lot more to that story than a piece of leather.
